Roaming Roomba!

We live in the future now, so I’m guessing we’ll see more of these types of stories! A robot vacuum ESCAPED from its duties last week in Europe. I’m guessing it got tired and tried to make a run for it.

On Thursday, a Travelodge motel in England posted on social media after one of its Roomba vacuums made a break for it and tried to escape. It was cleaning the lobby when it disregarded the lip of the front door, went outside and vanished.

The Travelodge still hadn’t found it by Friday morning, but they did track it down eventually. It was hiding under a hedge near the driveway out front.
