Build it. There is a global market of parents who will buy it.
But on the other hand, why not accept the toys on the floor? You are fighting entropy for no reason. You sleep at night, you will work tomorrow during the day, and when you look again, the toys are in an equally dispersed state. Why not let them stay in that state for days until you need to hover?

- mvn9 6y agoAll very reasonable arguments. What I don't understand is cleaning up in the evening. There is no visual field to perceive if you are asleep.
- tuatoru 6y agoIt ain't the sleeping in bed, it's the crusty eyelids in the morning. :-)
- fxtentacle 6y agoIt's to make sure that when you walk around half-asleep early in the morning trying to get a diaper, that you don't step on a pointy lego brick.
- mvn9 6y agoDo you walk heel or toe first [1]? I would assume that lego bricks only hurt when moving heel first since humans had to deal with stony environments for quite some time. Not that you should stop cleaning up but this could be another technology to deal with the bricks.

- fxtentacle 6y agoHeel first. Interesting idea :)
- mikro2nd 6y agoPerhaps you've not yet reached an age where you frequently need to get up to pee in the night (sometimes several times) and keep the lights off to avoid disturbing a sleeping partner... ;)
- robotresearcher 6y agoI only use my living room in the evening. When else would I want it tidy? Well, maybe Saturday morning. But starting the day tidying is not great either.
- monkeydust 6y agoIsn't life just one big fight against entropy?
- mvn9 6y agoTechnically it isn't. Life needs entropy for variations and evolution. Also, life doesn't fight. It's identities that fight to maintain themselves. Life just keeps on living.
