There are several time portals and secret tunnels in my world that I never would have discovered if it weren't for my Roomba.
@hotdogsladies Can you strap a gopro on it or something for next time - what has Roomba seeen!!??

@spacecat

I think it only shows me what it thinks I'm ready for.

It's a clever feature.

@hotdogsladies is there a mirror at that spot?

@monorailtimes

No, but it's a really good question.

My theory here:

- it jammed itself into a narrow space between the chair and the table leg so…

- since it can't turn, it's doggedly trying to escape by repeatedly going forward…

- which means it's now trying to climb over cords and cables that…

- makes it lose traction and think it's actually moving somewhere in that straight line of approximately its own width.

Does that make any sense?

@hotdogsladies possibly, I know my J7 will see a mirror and think it's a new room cause it’s all machine learning image based

@monorailtimes

Right, yeah. This is my old s9+, and I used to be very studious about reviewing obstacles, but until I'm done with my current purge, it wouldn't be that useful.

Also, just for you, MT: fwiw, ChatGPT is a good outboard brain for the dinguses in you life, which then also makes it really handy for stuff like future troubleshooting.

E.G. “Why might I be getting inaccurate cliff detection on Rosie?”

@hotdogsladies lol my J7 is named Rosie too!

@monorailtimes

We're so basic. Apparently it's what almost EVERYBODY calls their Roomba!

@hotdogsladies it seems like this is implying that *you* are preventing your vacuum from exploring the extra dimensional space. “Please LET your robot explore” - what are you hiding from the Roomba corporation, Merlin?
@hotdogsladies
I'm worried now that you might end up with a mirror universe evil Roomba.
