Just finished new lvp flooring in most of my house. As a gift to my awesome self for actually finishing something I started in my own home, I bought a really nice roomba vacuum/mop. Holy hell have these things gotten more sophisticated . But one thing they obviously cannot do is climb stairs.
I have a 18*18 sunken living room that breaks up the open-concept main floor of my house. Previously, I would just lift the Roomba up and place it on the next level then let it finish her [heheh] job and carry it back to the charger when it was dead. That gets old, especially since this thing returns to its charger automatically and then resume its project once the battery is charged up enough.
That got old fast, so I built her a ramp and finished it with the same flooring. Waiting for a couple more pieces of the corner trim to come in the mail but you get the idea. It took the robot one or two tries before it learned where that ramp was but it hits it every time now.
Just a little idea for you guys. A one hour fix to a very modern first world problem..
