Wavy Arm Tubeman Roomba

Wavy Arm Tubemen Roomba is a standard airpowered tubeman fitted to a simple roomba base.

A heavy duty battery drives the wheels and powers the essential fan that causes the tubeman's arms to randomly flail around.

Now all that's needed is a purpose for this unlikely wandering device.

I'm thinking a large enclosed arena where several of them with a variety of multicoloured arms can rove around, erupting into active roaring life at will.

I can also see merit in them being a presence on a golf course, or on the pitch during a game of football, with the two teams having to negotiate around their unpredictable explosively distracting antics.

I have another idea for a Claymore Mine Tubeman but that will keep.

       //arena// Give them little swords and sensors. When a sword hits a vital spot, the stricken roomba is pronounced killed and moves off to the side.

       V, did you just invent that? That's brilliant. Maybe just do boxing gloves with sensors on the gloves that register each hit.   

       I understand people are betting on anything these days, I might even drop a buck on a flailing man boxing match.
