Watch it Get Made: Clean Up Your Holiday Gathering Mess with a Flying Roomba
Clean up stray tinsel, wrapping paper scraps, fruit cake crumbs, and disappointment that you didn’t get that starter box you wanted on all floors of your house with a modified robot vac.
Peter Sripol has built everything from a flame-throwing toy firetruck to a boat/go-kart to a homemade electric airplane.
In this build, he tackles one of the more annoying issues robot vacs have: the inability to go up and down stairs. The fix he comes up with is attaching three ducted fans and turning the vac into a drone that will tackle stairs with ease. You can find a full list of parts over on YouTube if you have the know-how and desire to make your own.
