Re:Why Dyson's robot vacuum took 16 years, and why it's head... by jonnydark on Friday September 05, 2014 @04:26AM (#8272813)
It'd give somewhat better traction but at the same time you increase the likelihood of stalling your motors. How does the machine know if the motors are stalling because there's something jammed in the wheels or because the vacuum is sucking stuck to the floor? You can design algorithms or sensor mechanisms to try and determine this and also tune the motors but now you have even more problems!
