I Robot

Autonomous Floor Scrubbers, Avidbot, Neo 1 Minute

The adventures in robotics continue. Over the last week I have continued to utilize Kenny AKA Wall-E AKA NEO when I can. I am still learning how it works/doesn’t work. I am still learning new terminology, still attempting to understand its ability to learn, still attempting to understand its programming and mapping algorithms. Training was very limited other than basic operations.

As a floor scrubber it works well. It washes floors, moves decently on manual mode. Steering took a little to get used to. It is some what longer, and taller than most floor scrubbers I have used so far. Its cleaning profile is 4 inches narrower (26 inch vs 32 inches) than I am used to and one would think this would be an advantage, it is not because the increased length changes its turning radius. A shorter, wider scrubber is able to turn around in spots where Neo is not capable. It uses considerably less water than most other scrubbers as well. I should mention the scrubber I normally use is a Tennant 5680. It has a 32 inch cleaning path.

Key differences on the 5680 Vs Neo. Clean water goes in top and dirty water goes in the bottom on the 5680 Neo is the exact opposite. Scrubber deck is located on the front of the 5680 where as on Neo it is located at the midpoint. Steering is done by pushing the 5680 from side to side, and drive wheels are located in the middle, throttle control operates by rolling the throttle forward to move forward, and rolling back to move in reverse, throttle located on right hand of handlebars. Neo steering is handled by steering as you would with a 4 wheeler, direction of movement controlled by selecting forward or reverse on the touch screen, the drive motor is located at the front and pivots much similar to ride on scrubbers such as the Nobles SSR. The throttle control operates similar to that of a motorcycle. I find that the throttle range of motion is too great and needs to be made less in order to get “full throttle” without over stressing your wrist or having to adjust hand position while attempting to gain full throttle.

Lugh Sulian Standing on the Ledge · Rebuilding from the Rubble Lugh Sulian is a working name for a working moment. This profile exists to hold Standing on the Ledge: Rebuilding from the Rubble—an ongoing, real-time record of what happens after collapse, when old rules stop functioning and new ones haven’t yet earned trust. This is not myth reenactment. Not spiritual bypass. Not curated healing. It’s a field journal from the threshold. The name Lugh points toward skill, clarity, and responsibility carried with awareness. Sulian gestures toward sight—what can be seen when illusion drops away and pretending becomes too expensive. Together, they frame the posture of this work: to look clearly, act deliberately, and refuse to rebuild what already failed. Through short-form video, spoken reflection, and long-form writing, this project explores: Collapse without spectacle Responsibility without authority Burnout as a systems problem, not a personal flaw Pagan cycles as lived practice, not aesthetic Small fires instead of grand rebuilds This space is intentionally unfinished. It documents: Standing still without freezing Moving forward without rushing Learning from rubble instead of hiding it Unplugged-Pagan.com serves as the grounding—seasonal awareness, ritual stripped of performance, and meaning built from experience rather than doctrine. Standing on the Ledge is one expression of that grounding, focused on the human cost of broken systems and the slow work of rebuilding integrity. This is not a teaching platform. It’s a shared watchpost. If you’re here, you’re likely between versions of yourself—tired, alert, uncertain, and still standing. You don’t need answers yet. You need honesty, boundaries, and permission to move at the speed of truth. No conclusions offered. No certainty promised. Still on the ledge. Still watching. Still working the rubble. Godspeed. Optional Short Versions (for profile headers or bios) Short bio (Facebook / site header): Threshold work. Pagan-rooted, process-driven. Documenting collapse, clarity, and the refusal to rebuild what failed.
