Orbot Stair Climber
« on: August 11, 2010, 07:24:01 PM »
Posted this over on the HOS site, figured I'd post it here too:

PLEASE INVENT ONE!!

I clean apartments and for some reason, people on the third floor love to move. Hauling the Orbot (Sprayborg) up and down several times a day not only gets me tired (yes I need to lose a few pounds), but I'm also worried that the bumping it on the stairs so much will bend or damage something.

What I'd like to see is a detachable, battery operated, mini track system. The track would be just long enough to climb stairs. Lets say it attaches to the Orbot by the wheels, then you could pivot the Orbot to be comfortable to handle on level ground and stairs. It could even have a wired speed controller that you could attach to the handle of the Orbot while using it.

Would anyone invent this for me?

Sound like you need to spend more time in the gym?   :)

I think that's a very complimentary picture of me if I do say so. .............In about 30 years.  ;D
