And the purpose of the cleanbot is???

The Hydrobot seems to be one that is at least marginally useful, since it does water the flower beds pretty well. At least when using a hack to prevent (or reduce) all the #?&% breakdowns.

These bots all have their place. I prefer them in dorms and Greek Houses where things tend to get really messy.
They break too often though, in my opinion.

I see the breakdowns as an inherent part of having so many moving parts. Frankly I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often. There's a REASON why we don't use things like this in real life, after all.

That doesn't work too well yet. Wait until he makes it final.

have you tried it radio? Is this from personal experience?

Yes, I'm testing it right now. They still seem to break at normal intervals for no apparent reason.

Iin my opinion, the breakage should be equal to say, a dishwasher breaking instead of them breaking every two days.

Yes, at least every other day is the rate of breakage I'm seeing.

I know that if a robot is made in low aspiration, it is more likely to be broken when first made. However, does this make it more likely to break even after being fixed? Is the breakdown rate of robots a set percentage or does it vary by who made the robot, their mood when the robot was made, or anything else?
