Hamster iRobot Vacuum: Clean Or Cruel, You Be The Judge

hamster irobot vacuum Hamster iRobot Vacuum: Clean Or Cruel, You Be The Judge

I can only imagine what the folks at PETA are saying about this video.  As you’ll see, the well paid engineers at iRobot decided to retrofit one of their autonomous vacuums with a hamster, a hamster ball and some sensors.  Which ever way the hamster moves so does the vacuum.  I don’t hear any vacuum noise, though, leading me to believe that this is just for gimmick and won’t ever come to market.  Darn it! I was really looking for another novel way to clean my apartment.
