I’m starting a new build-in-public project: oomwoo, an open-source robot vacuum you build yourself. Raspberry Pi, ROS 2, 2D LiDAR, Home Assistant, 3D printed, local-first — and open from the first commit.

    You can tell it’s a genuine high-quality open-source project because the name sucks

      I propose renaming it to SUCKS cos that’s what vacuums do.

          That’s good.

          I was thinking we could come up with an acronym resulting in suck

      About the name: “oomwoo” is a rotational ambigram — it reads the same flipped 180°, just like the robot itself roaming your floor in every direction.

      There was an attempt.

      Robot vacuum designers are limited to using only the “o” vowel. That’s just the way it is.

          I think it’s a law that robot vacuums must be named something silly.
