bObsweep’s challenges
While in most homes bObsweep will fit like a glove, in some homes, the environment
may be a bit challenging to him. Bob is designed to fit well with rooms and furniture
of most shapes and sizes, but certain settings may confuse him momentarily. Bob
might find a way into small spaces or get trapped under some of your furniture,
but he is good at finding a way out in time. Chairs with narrow legs, or furniture
that is just a bit too low for his infrared bumper sensors may block off some spots
you would like Bob to clean. Irregularly shaped items, such as chairs with circular
bottoms, might trick his sensors as well. Sometimes Bob will attempt to drive up
angled surfaces, getting stuck for a few minutes before he decides to clean some-
where else. This is because bObsweep wants to cover every spot in the home and
will try his hardest to overcome any obstacle. As long as he does not show an error
message or trouble number on the display, allow him to find his way out and con-
tinue cleaning. Observing where Bob’s challenges are in your particular setting, and
if possible spreading/adjusting some of the furniture accordingly, is the best way to
maximize Bob’s efficiency.
Bob loves carpets. However, certain designs might confuse the infrared sensors
bObsweep uses to detect the floor beneath him. Dark colors on rugs may confuse
him by simulating an edge, causing an Error or Trouble Number 4 to pop up on his
display. As a solution, the four sensors on Bob’s underbelly may be covered with
“blindfold” stickers. With these equipped, bObsweep will permanently sense floors
underneath him. If your rug requires the use of blindfold stickers, be sure that Bob
will stay away from edges or stairs since he is unable to detect them with the stick-
ers on.
If you have a plush carpet with long fibers or fringes, Bob’s main brush may have
trouble turning on them for long.
