The Robowow Secret – The World’s First 3-in-1 Domestic Robot?

A few days ago Robomow launched a humorous video introducing a new 3-in-1 Domestic Robot that mows your lawn, cleans your pool and vacuums your floors. They call it the Robowow.

The only robot that can vacuum your home, clean your pool and mow your lawn!

It’s no secret that creating Robowow proved to be just a bit of a challenge. After all, it’s not every day you create a robot that can do almost everything but make the coffee. 

From carpet challenges to pool-side shenanigans and minor mowing misdemeanors, we certainly had our work cut out for us! But, in true Robomow style, with a lot of perseverance and a little luck, we went ahead to create the most advanced, domesticated robot ever made.

Now, all that’s left is for you to sit back and relax while Robowow… Does it all for you.

We found this commercial very interesting and it came right on point for April fools. We can’t stop thinking that they were very much inspired by a video RobotShop posted one year ago for mock tests of robot vacuums:

See the resemblance?

Even if this 3-In-1 robot is not real at this time, Robomow does have a great line of robot lawn mowers.

We now have new models available at RobotShop.

Robomow RS612 Robot Lawn Mower

For the future though, will we have a single affordable robot that does all domestic shores for us, a robot like the Robowow that does a few or will we remain with one robot for each task?

Will robots be able to excel in several tasks or should they concentrate on one task and do it well?

Best DC power supply 3Amp to adjust 1.2V-20V & 3V-6V-9V-12V

Posted: 03 Apr 2014 02:30 AM PDT

This is the high quality power supply to provide high current 3A. And still adjust voltage in steps from 3V, 6V, 9V, 12V. adjust voltage is continuous 1.25V to 20V. Using LM317T and 2N3055 are main parts so easy to made and cheap. Friends would known the power supply as well. Because you must use […]

This is a 3A adjustable regulators using IC-LM350T that look like In My first Variable DC Power Supply, but this high current higher than 3-Amp. Therefore they cause you can supply more any load circuit. Which we can buy this IC at many store but expensive than LM317. How does it works In Figure 1 […]
