Yeah, but it didn't have a vacuum. It was just a development thing.

It was an awesome rover robot for tinkering and introducing kids to technology! Wish there were more versions of hardware like that.

True, I guess my comment did sound a bit "not interesting" 😅

I think it's a great development kit. I wish my Eufy robot vacuum had that level of tinker-ability. It's already got googly eyes...
