Robot Meets Dog and Owner Pays the Price.

Jimrahbe · Nov 17, 2022

My renter's dog decided to challenge my robot to a dual and although the dog won, the dog's owner is having to pay the price...

Should be around $200 bucks for all the parts, but a lot of them are on back order so it will be a while until I get them.

I decided to take this opportunity to buy a new robot for my pool and take the current Warrior SE out of my pool and put it into the rent house pool.

I got an Active 20 from Marina... Ordered it Tuesday and received it today. Stuck it in my pool and is seems to be working fine in its new home.

Here are some pics of the damaged S200.

Thanks,

Jim R.

and what is the plan moving forward to keep this from happening again???

We had one dog that LOVED to chew hard plastic stuff. His fav was the steering wheel on the mower :roll:

We had to build a "kennel" to keep the mower in and dog out of LOL

Kim,

In theory, the renter is supposed to schedule the robot to run at night when the dog is not out. Not sure what happened but somehow it was running during the day..

Thanks,

Wow! Your robot fought valiantly … but as I have learned, the canine jaw and teeth have been honed by Mother Nature over the millennia to be powerful and destructive.

I have a box full of S300 parts (same parts for the S200), some are old, some are like new … DM if you’re interested in any of them.

Looks like the 4wheeler tires we aquired for super cheap- the guy’s pit bull loved to chase & bite the tires! He was a tough booger.
Hopefully the fee they pay will be plenty of a deterrent for the future. I hope this dog hasn’t chewed up anything else in your rental
