now all we need are solar panels to clean the solar panel-cleaning solar panels

[-] ThisSeriesIsFalse@lemmy.ca 20 points 3 weeks ago

Just give it a little squeegee on a robot arm to run down its panel every so often

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 3 weeks ago

with a solar panel to power it of course

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 3 weeks ago

But who will clean that solar panel?

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 weeks ago

a smaller cleaning robot obviously, powered by a smaller solar panel

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago

An infinitely recursive loop

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Just tinier and tinier solar squeegy bots forever.

[-] astrsk@fedia.io 5 points 3 weeks ago

Seems like it could power its own, keeping it a closed loop.

[-] lightsblinken@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

next iteration of panels will use a Möbius loop!

That little bot is one of my favourite Pixar characters. The dedication to cleaning every single spot is inspiring

[-] DogWater@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

I love him when he gets upset at someone for spilling on something it just cleaned

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago

We trained my 5yo son to go "woah woah woah woah woah woah woah" in a similar voice to that robot, and it's so funny how he chooses to use it. He is also our favorite Pixar character, also!

Where do i see more of this?

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

The Wall-E movie. This little guy is hilarious!

Rematch time!

[-] Kaput@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Exactly what I thought about.

[-] steal_your_face@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 weeks ago

It's solar panels all the way down

[-] mjhelto@lemm.ee 5 points 3 weeks ago

Always has been.

[-] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

You'd only need two, if anyone is interested.

[-] JoShmoe@ani.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

I wipe my ass with solar panels.

[-] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 10 points 3 weeks ago
[-] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

They using compressed air? Or water? I don't see a tank for water. But very cool!

[-] Ephera@lemmy.ml 8 points 3 weeks ago

I believe, I'm seeing a big ol' brush underneath.

[-] Donk@slrpnk.net 7 points 3 weeks ago
[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 weeks ago

Kinky, even

[-] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

It is quite impressive how far China has developed in such a little time. It all happened during my lifetime.
