Now that is a leap forward!

Wouldn't it be more fitting to make a cleaning device Ms. Pacman?

Haha! I have to try that with my Roomba now. Presently it is just a plain, old floor cleaner (can't really call it a vacuum because it doesn't use a vacuum to suck up the dust and dirt).

As a note, the seriously rugged outdoor equipment company Husqvarna now sells a solar powered robotic lawnmower. Imagine turning that into a Pacman! It could literally eat little rodents toes and things (no bagger, though, so it could get messy).
