Thsi brings to mind a short science fiction story (from any long years ago) in which the appliances in one house overcome their human operators, then leave the house to go out into the neighborhood to. . .I can still ’see" the vacuum cleaner (an upright, of course) leading the way down the front steps. . .damn, whish the microspace next to THAT memory was filled with the story title/author. . .
I wouldn’t have to worry about my robovac, it would run back and forth over the porch until the battery ran down. It’s gotten “stuck” under a dining room chair way too often. No map function.

The Roomba ran away from a hopeless cause. I shouldn’t snicker. A Roomba would hunt down a lawyer because of my place!

As long as it doesn’t go to a an ice-rink and be mistaken for a hockey puck it should be OK. Maybe Snoopy will use to clean his dog house.

Given the bad food strewn around Roz’ place, no wonder the Roomba escaped.

When you hear from PETR, you’ll know it’s been found. (P-eople for E-thical T-reatment of R-obotics.)

It would have to battle the elements, but it would lose because an element never forgets.
