Houseplantbot

I'm not going to lie to you. I'm a plant person. I talk to my plants. I stop what I'm doing randomly and go hang out with my plants. I bring them to work with me. I really love plants. I freaking post them on Flickr.

So now that fall is on it's way, and a new building has gone up right outside my window and blocked most of my direct sunlight, I'm concerned that some of my plants may not get enough light this winter. Light, as you may know, is essential to photosynthesis, the process by which plants create energy to sustain themselves. Fascinating process. Like magic.

As awesome as plants are, they have one fatal drawback - they're completely stationary. Can't move anywhere. Oh no, it's 4pm and the light has moved to the other side of the room? Too bad you got a bowl of dirt instead of legs! Real shame. I imagine it must be frustrating for them. Which is why I want houseplantbots. The idea was inspired by a theoretical space technology, but I don't see why someone like Roomba couldn't slap on a light sensor and give me a mobile plant stand for catching optimal amounts of sunlight.

Hear that Roomba? Houseplantbots. Get on it.
