Just give it a little squeegee on a robot arm to run down its panel every so often
with a solar panel to power it of course
But who will clean that solar panel?
a smaller cleaning robot obviously, powered by a smaller solar panel
An infinitely recursive loop
Just tinier and tinier solar squeegy bots forever.
Seems like it could power its own, keeping it a closed loop.
next iteration of panels will use a Möbius loop!
That little bot is one of my favourite Pixar characters. The dedication to cleaning every single spot is inspiring
I love him when he gets upset at someone for spilling on something it just cleaned
We trained my 5yo son to go "woah woah woah woah woah woah woah" in a similar voice to that robot, and it's so funny how he chooses to use it. He is also our favorite Pixar character, also!
Where do i see more of this?
The Wall-E movie. This little guy is hilarious!

Rematch time!
Exactly what I thought about.
It's solar panels all the way down
Always has been.
You'd only need two, if anyone is interested.
What cleans the cleaning solar panel?
Just get two and use whatever power is left.
I wipe my ass with solar panels.
Yo dawg!
They using compressed air? Or water? I don't see a tank for water. But very cool!
I believe, I'm seeing a big ol' brush underneath.
It's a roller brush.

This entire thread:
how perverse
Kinky, even
It is quite impressive how far China has developed in such a little time. It all happened during my lifetime.
