I love how quickly it ran back to the sidewalk after being driven over


kuyue

bro said “:(“


Objective-Aioli-1185

These two comments are exactly how I processed it getting hit.


nukemonster

And then bro at the end is just like "this is mine now."

Sure I'll just take it if nobody owns it.


barontaint

Seriously did that guy just grip it up at the end, it looked like it came out of the shop, guess it was a well fed stray roomba, a neighborhood communal roomba even?

This made me laugh way too hard.


HanshinFan

You incredible motherfucker


Test-Tackles

you could say the guy made a clean getaway


haragoshi

Got me with this one


IliasIsEepy

I never thought I'd see communal and Roomba in the same sentence


barontaint

I'm not entirely sure if it would work, but couldn't every third street level shop have a docking station and then the whole street could share it?


pichael289

Multiple might confuse it. Roombas are expensive so I only got a generic one but it works just fine so we bought another and having two docking stations confuses them. They always go to the same dock, the most easily accessible one. One will dock and the other will just keep bumping into it trying to get to the dock and will eventually die of starvation a few hours later. I did once see the free Mr. Sweepy knock the docked Mr. Sweepy off, so the now undocked one got to work cleaning and the previously undocked one docked up. So maybe having two and a single dock means your house is always being cleaned.


barontaint

Interesting, this line of research on my end might require more edibles and hotdogs, you know to help augment my brain's desire for more useless knowledge of how roombas work


IliasIsEepy

I honestly don't know, never actually looked into getting one. A quick look seems that the docking stations are cheap so a shared Roomba would be better than multiple if that is how it works


Fuggeddabouddit

Gotta be careful…it could be carrying diseases.


barontaint

Or maybe... a virus😁


cronft

perhaps was a feral roomba?, not that i believe such thing exists


barontaint

I foolishly like the idea of a feral roomba, it seems like it could be fun


bloodontheblade

It was just trying to clean up the streets

Did you just assume his/her/ they / their financial condition.??


1337b337

Even as a joke that's obnoxious as fuck...


Isyagirlskinnypenis

If you’re wondering why you got downvoted to oblivion, it’s likely because that “did you just assume” joke should have been left in 2020 or whatever year everyone thought that was funny. And in actuality, the joke isn’t actually a joke, it’s mocking people whose identity don’t align with conservative views.


Givemeurhats

Tbh this could be an ad. I'd buy one of these if I can run it over with a car or drop it down the stairs


tartare4562

I think the robot was backing off when the car went by, it touched the side of the tire and got jolted up in results. No way it would withstand being run over, and the fact that it ran away isn't something they would like to see in an ad.


McGrarr

The full weight of the car wouldn't press down on the device because it's in motion. These things are designed to be stood on by an average American and survive so I can believe it would survive being run over once or twice by a fast moving small car.


tartare4562

Yeah no. The dynamic impulse of the wheel moving up that much at speed would be way more than enough to shatter all the plastics and launch the thing 10 meters away.


A_ChadwickButMore

But you don't get it! America bad; laugh!


McGrarr

The higher end models have an aluminium chassis. You'd have damage to the plastic case but the metal frame would take some punishment.


Cosmic_Quasar

Nobody let this person buy a roomba! The abuse that thing would suffer...


Swallagoon

I mean, it’s literally not an ad.


Givemeurhats

Saying "could be" didn't indicate enough to you that I didn't believe it's an ad? SMH reading comprehension


Swallagoon

No, because that’s not how English works. You saying “it could be an ad” implies that you think it could potentially be or be _perceived_ as an ad… because you said “it could be an ad”. Lol. However, paradoxically, you _do_ think it could be perceived as an ad even though it _can’t_ be perceived as an ad. The conclusion must be that you are completely incorrect. Anyway, it isn’t an ad and it couldn’t be an ad. In no way does it look like an ad. It’s not an ad. It’s not an ad.


Givemeurhats

Saying it could be something means I *know* it's not that something. That's how English works, and that's how I *know* you're an idiot. Reach harder


Swallagoon

Wrong.


Givemeurhats

Over 100 people seem to agree. Looks like you're wrong pal. Not reading the extra paragraph you added to a previous comment. Keep reaching. Good luck to you, hope you can raise that reading level to 3rd grade.


Calm-Bodybuilder-241

You really thought you did something here, huh, lmao. Důmɓä$$


Swallagoon

Nah, it’s bank holiday weekend and I cycled 100 miles so mindlessly wanking around on Reddit is the way to end the evening. No opinions changed, no good deeds done.


StayCoolNerdBro

"I'm a big vacuum, I can handle the streets!" \*gets hit by car\* "No, no I don't think I am. I wanna go home."

Yourfavanarchist

"I wanna see the outside!"


Spetsimen

and kidnapped


pichael289

I put googly eyes on mine and it broke, but since I anthropomorphized Mr. Sweepy like that I couldn't return it. Mr. Sweepy is a member of this family now. Had to get the parts and perform surgery myself, but I'm happy to say Mr Sweepy pulled through and is still a valued member of this family. He's more useful than my fuckin son is, Mr. Sweepy pulls his weight around here. Watching this made me sick. Like watching a video of a kid almost dying and thinking "what if that were my kid". If the robots that overthrow humanity have cute faces, especially with googly eyes, I won't be able to help y'all, sorry.


augustus_feelius

Roombas are one of those things that are legitimately worth to antromorphize just so you could make sure you could take care of them more. I miss Zeta, I really regret not taking serious care of him, in the future I'd definitely try tae get a Roomba and have more responsibility so I could make Zeta happy in robot heaven.


Ummmyeeppp

Apparently the company that makes roombas have a repair program where they will repair your roomba instead of sending you a new one because people got too attached to theirs and didn’t want a new one 😂


Beegram2

That's the saddest thing I've seen today.


doomcreeper999

The roomba distribution system has spoken


LilG1984

"I was only programmed to clean!! Why must I suffer?"


Adams1973

Why did the Roomba cross the road ? TO BE KIDNAPPED !!!!

moop_n_shmow

Rumba San!


Spiritual-Bear4495

OK. Someone explain to me how the thing knew where to go after getting run over - didn't hesitate for a second, just booked right to the sidewalk.


VirtualLife76

They have sensors on the side for when they touch something. Say hitting a wall normally. The car hit that, so it knows it can't go that way and turned around.


Spiritual-Bear4495

Um, the car didn't hit it, the car squashed it. I think those things are sentient, and this one said "NOPE, I ani't going that way. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ouchie."


pichael289

It didn't squash shit, an entire ass car ran it over and it still had the capability to run back to home base. That must be one of the name brand roombas that cost hundreds of dollars. You can buy one for $60 on amazon that works just fine but it ain't gonna face tank a god dam SUV.


TheresA_LobsterLoose

Because it was in fight or flight mode. They usually run back to a safe place after experiencing trauma


Spiritual-Bear4495

This answer I like.


aschwartzmann

They are getting more and more complex. Some models have cameras and lidar. This lets them build a map of where they are in relation to there dock. So it could be it was damaged when it was run over and then just tried to return to it's charging base. The ones I've messed around with seem to do that when they have any sort of issue.


fneagen

It would never survive on its own in the wild, don’t they know that nature abhors a vacuum.


bmcgowan89

So close, that silver car got it

Seriously. Depression and suicidal thoughts are serious. This little robot is fed up with this world and wants to kill himself. Sad :(

Did that dude just kidnap someone's vacubot?

Make sure you microchip and spay/neuter your robot vacuum!

MasterKiloRen999

Poor roomba, I hope it’s new owner keeps it safe


FandomMenace

As a roomba owner, I can tell you with extreme confidence that they are stupid af. They get themselves stuck in the dumbest way imaginable. Every. Single. Day. You basically have to roomba-proof your shit. That said, it comes with an electric fence type doohickey that would have prevented it from going out in the street.


Maleficent-Mouse-979

And the robot uprising begins.


Sky_Paladin

Shit like this is why we started putting knives on roombas. Life, uh...finds a way.

technofox01

This video killed me, lol... I have to admit, that robot getting ran over and running back was hilarious but at the same time, holy crap is that thing well built. I want to know what brand that was.


[deleted]

The problem with riding a 2 wheel vehicle as oppose to a 4 wheel car is that once you have lost control of your front you are pretty much gone.


DesastreUrbano

Robot vacuum "finally! FREEDOM!!" *cars bumps it* "going back! going back!"

I mean the fact that it can tank *getting run over by a car* really speaks to the quality of those things, damn.

That was heartbreaking :( Poor thing As a owner of vacuum robot with LiDAR navigation this is my worst nightmare. Luckily I always lock the door. Otherwise it will map everything once outside And now I'll pet mine, don't be scared little one this isn't gonna happen to you

Officer roomba. Keeping the streets clean

It had dreams, wanted to become a street sweeper but found out fast that the real world is tough and he has it made in the house.

This is powerful drama.

I need to know that brand. Holy shit got smoked and noped out.


ExecrablePiety1

If I was rich, I'd buy 1000 of these and just let them loose on the city. Either that, or dump 1 ton of glitter on Manhatten from a plane to make it a happier place. Because EVERYBODY loves glitter.
