Poll: Would you allow a first generation plumber robot in your home?

from the you-decide dept.

Would you allow the first generation of plumber robots in your home? If yes is there anything you might hide from its view? The robot camera footage could be shared with anyone.

Only if I was paid $2M for a visit and it fixed any plumbing issues along the way.

if it came with a good insurance policy and included review/approval of footage.

I'd like it to redo our outside water sprinklers, please. involves a lot of digging. Also installing a hot water recirculation loop. Pretty much unaffordable.

so, not first generation... that reads as NO to the question.
