What's your robot's name?

[red-beard]

T.O.M. has a blocked impeller (or at least that is what the manual says!). So T.O.M. is a taking a well deserved rest and "Blue T-2000" is on substitute duty. With the wind, this is the best I can do. Nautilus CC Plus.

I haven't set him up yet, got to finish The Great Plumbing Project first, but mine is a Polaris 360 I got from a lovely member here on TFP. I call him Wheely Guy.

Oh you mean our "Sea Serpent" that sprays water out of the pool until I adjusted his tail!!

WOOFWOOF! woof! That's my *other* dog impersonation.

We were surprised that they delivered us a British pool cleaner... His friends call him Reggie, or just Reg. His full name: Reginald Scrubsbottom, Esquire.

Kids just ask "Can I yeet the robot into the pool?"

"Only if you promise to yoink it out afterwards and clean the filters."

Finally had a chance to pull T.O.M. apart. I could not find the impeller blocked, and the treads are working OK. I put him back together and threw him in the pool. He is presently working away! I think he was just being lazy. Maybe a "Bad Motivator" ?

I just bought a new robot the other day. It's a Dolphin Nautilus CC Supreme that I named Bloomy. Funny story... someone almost kidnapped him before i ever had him delivered but my UPS guy saved him in time!

The first robot vacuum for the house was named Dorfl. He was destroyed and rebuilt like his namesake. The second was named Linda. I lobbied for Gladys but lost out.

The pool robot is currently "Aqua-Dorfl" because we couldn't think of anything better.

I have sad news. T.O.M. is continuing to misbehave. He is being sent home. Let us pray he rises again.

Meanwhile, the Terminator T-2000 is keeping the pool clean.

Love this thread!
Ours is M-O (Microbe-Obliterator, from Wall-E).
And in the house we have vacuums Rosie and Hazel, and dishwashers Wall-E and Eve.

Wall-E and Eve

Someone tweeted recently that Wall-E could repair himself, so he could repair all of his friends carcasses laying around too, but chose to live in solitude. And that hit me way harder in the feels than I was expecting to be hit that day.

The kids and I call the Polaris 380 ... wait for it ... Mr. Robot. My wife calls him Creepy because she freaks out a bit when it bumps into her from some unseen angle.

T.O.M. has finally returned. TOM cleans better than the Terminator T-2000
