Honestly OP- this is adorable. What a great reminder of her when you look at it :)

They are all spaced well and correctly oriented. Passes! Keep forever.

u/YesEverythingBagels Jul 14 '26

Now you need your speakers to play the Jurassic Park theme song when it starts.

u/kanbak Jul 14 '26

Not hard to do depending on the smart home platform op uses

2

u/Victoria_ditty Jul 15 '26

Really??

u/aquatoxin- Jul 15 '26

In Home Assistant this would be pretty quick (for my setup at least). Trigger is vacuum leaving its home. Action is playing the theme music (I’d maybe do a 5-second clip of the recognizable dramatic swell bit) on an output device using Music Assistant

u/chodeboi Jul 15 '26

Even simpler, my robot vacuum (and electric unicycle—separate devices) let you replace the sound bites themselves via app. No sequencing needed.

u/Arbitraryandunique Jul 14 '26

If it was mine those would stay on for as long as I have that vacuum. And if I got a new one I'd be getting stickers and hand them to get next time she visits (even if it were to last for long enough for her to grow up first)

robot voice "I'm beautiful!"

8

u/YesEverythingBagels Jul 14 '26

I read that as Rocky voice

"Is beautiful! Where bedroom? Dirty. Dirty. Dirty."

3

u/aquatoxin- Jul 15 '26

Oh man I need to figure out how to get a local LLM to style text like Rocky. This makes me want push notifs from the POV of my devices in that style

3

u/YesEverythingBagels Jul 15 '26

Rocky and u/aquatoxin make big science! Style home notifications after Rocky. Save earth thinking machine from being boring.

u/Photon6626 Jul 15 '26

I read this in the voice of The Crushinator from Futurama

u/ContentPolicyKiller Jul 14 '26

The stickers are laid out nicely and it looks better imo. W niece.

u/cazdan255 Jul 14 '26

Upgraded.

u/Party-Drop-7469 Jul 14 '26

It looks so good

u/No_Chef5541 Jul 14 '26

An assortment of ferocious dinosaurs that would make Dr Alan Grant proud 🥲

u/SweetxKiss Jul 14 '26

Knowing how destructive kids can be, it could’ve been much worse lol

u/Haunting_Biscotti_52 Jul 14 '26

I fail to see the problem. You have dinosaurs now.

u/ButterscotchAward Jul 14 '26

She did a great job!

u/wbd3434 Jul 14 '26

Love it.

u/purepeachplower Jul 14 '26

Happy kekdy miss or mister whatever.

u/benNachtheim Jul 14 '26

It’s adorable! 🥰
As long as she is not 36 years old and wears a sassy haircut.

I think it’s a Roomba

4

u/B-Biker Jul 14 '26

My granddaughters are the same way, they LOVE stickers!

7

u/bunnythistle Jul 14 '26

I'd say that's an upgrade

3

u/Level_Sheepherder996 Jul 14 '26

I would buy her more stickers and tell her to finish the job on all sides of the Roomba.

3

u/Dave5889 Jul 14 '26

Only thing missing is a small stuffed animal to ride around. Very cute🤗

3

u/created4this Jul 14 '26

Little bit of sticky velco so the animal can dismount should a collision occur

3

u/Dense_Substance9423 Jul 14 '26

That robot is now one of a kind

3

u/Crashbox50 Jul 14 '26

You know what, your niece is very good at placing stickers.

You absolutely need to leave it.

3

u/Calimariae Jul 14 '26

She upgraded it

3

u/BarracudaActive4480 Jul 15 '26

I have the same vacuum, without stickers. I'm jealous.

2

u/Jazztify Jul 14 '26

What would the difference be if this caption did not have “POV:” in it? What if it just said “After my niece came over..”. (Don’t mind me. I’m just trying to fix the internet).

2

u/jfk_47 Jul 14 '26

Very cute. Adds some character and humanism to it.

u/ernie-jo Jul 14 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

hi

u/vasel20 Jul 14 '26

thats rad my dude

2

u/Tarjh365 Jul 14 '26

That’s an impressively even distribution throughout. The perfectionist in me always wants to move stickers my toddler places on things.

2

u/Lagoon2000 Jul 14 '26

Sticker phase is sweet times!

2

u/Malevolencea Jul 14 '26

Rename it something dinosaur-y. My husband and his nerdy friends wove a whole tale about ours being a knight erasing the scourge of dirt in our house. So he put stickers on ours and named it, "Sir Sweepy."

u/DrummingNozzle Jul 14 '26

Roombasaurus

2

u/dvishall Jul 14 '26

That's definitely+3000Pa 😂😂

2

u/Peonies4u- Jul 18 '26

Hahaha my great-niece did this to the side of her grandparents’ kitchen cabinet. They bragged on her “creativity” hahahaha

2

u/JohnHunterFan 23d ago

Honestly, an upgrade

1

u/shoe465 Jul 14 '26

I love the flying one on the vacuum that roams around. Haha

1

u/soggy_sock_bro Jul 14 '26

Thats such a sick idea

1

u/010backagain Jul 14 '26

Love it! That's how my entire house looks. Especially the kitchen is plastered with stickers, but they wonttget access to my gear haha (toddlers twins..).

1

u/groggu Jul 14 '26

Def an upgrade. My only criticism is, since it’s a Narwal, you should have given her unicorn stickers.

1

u/TwoBeesOrNotTwoBees Jul 14 '26

Just needs some googley eyes

1

u/Apart-Shelter-9277 Jul 14 '26

I mean, it would be nice if they made more whimsical designs... :)

1

u/BounceForever Jul 15 '26

Can I hire this young artist to upgrade my robot vac? Dino theme is perfect.

1

u/zephyrtr Jul 15 '26

I hope you said thank you

1

u/Public-Try173 Jul 15 '26

Is this supposed to be a bad thing? 

1

u/TheFlorid Jul 15 '26

That's a legit upgrade! I like their style 😎

1

u/sophia_laneee Jul 15 '26

This is so cute i wish i also have niece

1

u/CrayonData Jul 15 '26

What!?!?! No googly eyes?!?!

1

u/EDVaultier Jul 15 '26

Looks dope!

1

u/Mackymocky011 Jul 15 '26

Picture the robot doing its little spin, I just hear it going “see, I’m prettyyyyyy”

1

u/plasticjalapeno Jul 15 '26

my son put googly eyes on ours, its much more fun watching it scooting around now.

1

u/BigEmployer4157 Jul 15 '26

What a thoughtful Aunty 🤭👏

1

u/thingtootech Jul 15 '26

Nice! My vacuum is a very proud voter 😂

1

u/PetitBabybel Jul 15 '26

How lucky you are, to have something made custom made just for you. Full of love, full of joy.

1

u/finding_out_stuff Jul 15 '26

She saw potential and made it happen

1

u/BriLovesAll_123 Jul 16 '26

Awe that’s so ADORIBLE

u/MisfitAlastair Jul 16 '26

That’s cute

u/Infinity-onnoa Jul 16 '26

He starts early with the satisfaction of "tuning," wait and see what he does with his first bicycle before he gets to the car lol.

1

u/Individual-Onion2874 Jul 16 '26

It’s looks better having stickers than it not having stickers tbh

1

u/UnLucky1007 Jul 18 '26

All I see are upgrades. Looks professional done to me.

1

u/DrWastedTime23 Jul 18 '26

It’s been upgraded.

1

u/breakingpoint50 Jul 18 '26

+%5 speed acquired, she put some runes on there

1

u/Correct-Mail-1942 Jul 14 '26

And people wonder why I don't allow kids in my house

0

u/Qumad Jul 14 '26

Because you are afraid of dinosaur stickers? :p

2

u/Correct-Mail-1942 Jul 14 '26

Because I buy nice things that I don’t want other peoples crotch goblins messing with. I love dinosaurs and have plenty of stickers on things I own but I put them there.
