Briefly: 1 Neato XV-12 All Floor Robotic Vacuum w/Sensor, Room Mapping & Charging Base This is sold by Woot.
The Neato XV-12 All Floor Robotic Vacuum System last saw the light of day on Mar 20th, 2012. and lasted for about 0 minute.
Here are the facts as we have them:
1. Millionaire Marco Vidalli is notoriously clumsy.
2. Having come by his fortune through less-than-legal means, he fears having his actions recorded, and so has no surveillance system in his mansion.
3. His Neato XV-12 All Floor Robotic Vacuum picks up, on average, 7 precious stones which he has carelessly dropped onto the floor each day.
4. The Neato XV-12 generally finishes its cleaning around 3:15pm, at which time it returns automatically its base, where Hensley Thompson, Vidalli’s butler, is waiting for it.
5. Thompson then takes the precious stones from the Neato’s dirt bin, returns them to their proper display cases, and then empties what is left – dirt, debris, and pet hair – into the trash.
6. Thompson is 6’8”, 250 points, bench presses 390, and is trained in several illegal and deadly martial art forms.
7. He acts without hesitation, and has hospitalized at least three guests who were caught cheating at Vidalli’s weekly poker game.
8. He has a soft spot for horses.
9. During his free time, he often watches televised rodeo broadcasts and weeps.
10. He has only ever seen a horse in the flesh once (it was in a parade) and those close to him say he was so rapt with it that he could barely move or speak for some time, even after the horse had disappeared around the corner.
Therefore, in order to pull off a heist, we must:
A. Successfully scale the fence surrounding the estate.
B. Make it through the orchard without getting spotted by the guards.
C. Find an unlocked window to enter the mansion.
D. Catch the Neato in its final room (for maximum precious stone load) and trap it by closing the door (thus removing the “recognized doorway”).
E. Secure the precious stones from among the dirt, debris, and pet hair.
F. Distract Thompson so that he does not notice that the Neat-O is returning late.
G. Re-trace our steps back out the window, through the orchard, back over the fence, to our getaway car.
Chances of completing steps A-C and G with horse: Low
Chances of completing step F without horse: Impossible
And therein lies the problem.
