I have a background building 10x10 feet fabric cutting robots. This was a trip to the past I really enjoyed. I took many of the same steps 20 years ago, robotics is my little forgotten passion.

It's only lacking a little horn so the user can make a small train sound!

One of our Japanese or German readers better have a bespoke native word that describes this type of feature/purpose combo or I'm going to be disappointed.

    Yeah, it needs a "Makrofon" (very loud, high pressure signal horn) which it then can use as a "Achtungssignal" (signal demanding the attention of nearby people) to announce its departure! :D

    With the power of compound words, you can combine it to "Achtungssignalmakrofon" (a Makrofon which is used to give Achtungssignale), add the information that it's small, "Achtungssignalminiaturmakrofon" (a small Achtungssignalmakrofon)! :P

    You could even add the trash train information:

    "Miniaturmüllzugachtungssignalminiaturmakrofon".
