[+] Stay safe [xenzag] and maybe don't take any buses for a
while either? Alternately, consider inventing some kind of
fire-retardant bus-riding suit. |

Just as current indoor Roombas map and collect data about your floor plan*, the outdoor lawn sprinkler version will map and collect data about your lawn, gardens, driveway, fencing**. |
|
|
*Presumably to sell your data to companies who will sell you more furniture into which it can bump. |

**To sell your data to companies who will sell you lawn ornaments, garden gnomes, driveway edging, and better fences***. |

***Or the Acme Hole-In-Fence, and the associated Roomba Doomba Dog Disguise, so as to gain access to your neighbour's lawn layout AND, by accessing the doggie door, the interior house layout. |

//garden gnomes// which lob miniature petrol bombs, fireworks and bits of masonry I suppose? |

Sorry to hear the news from NI, [xen]. And [+]. |

[+] Nice, think of the fun hacks, for summertime cooling games. |

Of course [poc] // lawn ornaments, garden gnomes, driveway edging// are all weaponized, yes. Even the Hole-in-Fence/doggie door combo allows retribution against bad neighbours with the Groomba unit ''widdle indoors" program feature. |

I'm sort of designing one of these right now for my business -
but times 10,000. I intend to spray 100s of hectares at a
time on areas too soft for vehicles but where helicopters,
etc. are too pricey. If I get it built I'll post a pic. |

[AusCan531]; it's a good concept, but the wind may have
other ideas...
(I've thought along similar lines, using 2 laminar-flow water-
cannons, and having the 2 jets (probably intermittent)
intersecting to "splash" over the area needing water. But I
decided it's generally too windy for it to work over a large
area.) |

^ I'm using a travelling spraybar rather than water cannons.
Adding PolyOx is a cheap way to make water more cohesive
and travel further in the wind. Some firefighters use it but I
won't need it. |

Wouldn't this be more fun if you gave it some motion sensors
as well & marketed it as a cat deterrent? |
|
|
At least it isn't a "claymore roomba" |
|
|
^Depends on the pressure setting. |
