Lots of robots underneath the chistmas tree. :D

I'm working on a robotic Christmas Tree that walks itself from the closet across the room to the corner, lowers it's 5 leg projections for stability and performs an "auto-leveling" routine. All branches unfold complete with all their necessary decorations into their assigned position for optimum appearance. A hidden 'pine tree' scent canister has released a measured dose of spray to simulate the fragrance of a real tree. Complete with lights, the electrical plug has a shroud with a sensor to locate and dock with the wall outlet. Finally, the auto timer self-adjusts to the current time for proper on/off sequences.
TA-DA!!! O0
Note: This is fake news...this is a Christmas Tree fantasy, a made up story. Nothing like this has been done to my knowledge, which is not to say that somewhere there could possibly be such a tree, either in the experimental stages of development or that one could already exist. - This has been a fake news alert for your protection from story shock!

Interesting for sure but for that price, I'll gladly take care of my plant's needs! O0
I did find a rather cool application of robots for the Christmas Tree. Again...prohibitively expensive no doubt!

Lastly,
Buy this one and mount it to one of those robotic vacuums and program it to steer itself to a suitable corner, and the rest is a magic pop-up tree!!

Sounds like a good idea for a kickstarter project, but might be trickier than it first seems... could be a lifes work actually. :2funny:
