The mopping Rover

Rover has been difficult getting to and from wherever he has been ordered to clean. He wasn't taking a direct path but wandering around under the bed in the spare room, his home base. In frustration at his antics, I picked him up and took him to the area to be cleaned and then ordered him to clean. That worked twice and he found the direct route home, but would not climb onto charging and emptying stand. I eventually put him up by hand and he began charging but of course as he didn't make the move himself, he didn't empty his bin.

For some reason Rover has corrected his path and now travels directly. You really have to work hard with Rover in the early days to get him right. The time I've spent on my phone app for Rover, the time I've spent watching him, the time I've spent with other Rover matters, I could have vacuumed myself, perhaps twice. However, we are on the upward. I always knew I bought a toy.

Rover mops the tiled areas. I've learnt to tell him to do all jobs twice and use extra water with added detergent on tiled areas. In this video you can see Rover's mopping arm come down. The underside of the arm is a mopping material, velcro connected to the arm. It has to be changed perhaps every six months or so. 

I wondered if Rover could sweep and mop the balcony? I measured Rover's height and the gap at the bottom of the glass, where Jass loves to stick her head out, and no. Rover would go to his death as he went under the glass.
