Basic great usecase (not just fun things): IF you can control it remote, you can check your flat if you are gone for a little bit longer.

Yeah, totally, it could even scale the stairs if needed. How about battery life though, can it go to sleep then be woken up on demand?

  • Or can it dock itself on a charger?

    It appears to have a battery pack so a docking station is unlikely but hopefully can design and open source something.

    • The easiest route is probably to have it sit with its back to a Qi charger pad, with the coils in a sort of cape over the battery. Not much added weight for the coils, and quite a neat little intro project to get it to align itself and sit correctly.
