Taps is appropriate here.

I guess a lifetime of servitude was too much for the Roomba. Poor little guy worked until his brushes failed.
It is weird how a turned off device did this. Roomba users, how many button pushes does it take for the Roomba to start traveling?
Well, there’s off as in powered completely off by holding down the button, and then there’s ‘off’ as in on standby which happens after the Roomba gets done cleaning and goes back to its charging station. But even when on standby, I find mine requires two pushes on the top-central button to get it cleaning - one to ‘wake’ it (Roomba beeps once) and one to send it off (Roomba plays its little ‘time to clean’ song, backs up out of the charging station complete with back-up beeping, then zips off to clean).
Zero. You can program Roombas to turn themselves on on a schedule. But you also cannot program them to climb up onto a kitchen counter and scoot over onto a hot plate. I suspect foul play.
So you’re saying it’s roboticide?
They said it was left on the countertop. It’s bad luck that it headed over to the stove. It could have just leaped to its death. A fall is better than a fire for the homeowner.
Is there a central mainframe that controls roombas in Europe?
Can Will Smith speak German?

Robotcide? Someone is definitely responsible and it’s up to us to find him and make sure he gets with the program.

YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
And what a way to go.
Self immolation Ouch! Are they sure it wasn’t trying to martyr himself for some political cause?
They have edge-checking mechanisms to keep them from falling down stairs and such, so unless our Marvin the Roomba self-sabotaged that part, he’d be out of luck.
Obviously, a 3rd Law violation. And a potential 1st Law violation. Where is Susan Calvin when you need her?
What was the burner doing on with no one in attendance? Certianly sounds like Roombacide to me. Probably a jealous husband. (jealous his wife has a robot and he doesn’t.)
Ach, holle nein…
Does. Not. Compute.
Does. Not. Compute.
Oh. Cruel. World! Why. Do. You. Not. Compute?
When experts checked the Roomba’s internal logs, they saw only one message. A mockery of the cruel programmers who caused it to exist. The message read “Goodbye, world!”
Seanbaby warned us this was coming.
We better start treating roombas with the respect they deserve. Apparently they have achieved sentience, for which sentient lifeform likes to do chores around the house?
And last but not the least:
5) Are there roombas cleaning the floor in nuclear missile silos?
If the answer is yes to one or more, we may have a problem.
i suspect a cat did it.
This unit must die.
I fully expected the method to be suicide booth.
Mine once locked himself in the bathroom, and started beating his head against the toilet.
