Hi there, I'm Nathaniel, the creator of this robot. Thanks for posting it :) If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Can it kill you? no probably not. The tension limit kicks in and lets the line out if you pull too hard.

Will it work in a room with a ceiling fan? usually its fine since you can lower the work area ceiling to exclude the fan.

Will it make my kids learn to not pick up after themselves? They never will anyways.

Is there a physical safety? The anchors are attached to the wall, do they release with less tension than a human airway can withstand? I have experienced injuries that would prohibit me from exerting a "backpack" of force over my head.

If I had this I could get a roomba. Does that make sense?
