This is definitely an ingenious take on the classic arcade game. How often can you play a game that makes your room cleaner? Until Activision releases Broom Hero, the answer is "not very."

Cleaning made fun is hiring a sexy maid and watch her clean.

Too much time on my hands, it's ticking away with my sanity
I've got too much time on my hands, it's hard to believe such a calamity
I've got too much time on my hands and it's ticking away from me
Too much time on my hands, too much time on my hands
Too much time on my hands

I wouldn't say they have too much time on their hands. I've done similar projects for school with a similar concept. It was a proof of concept which was not only used to land an A in the class, but land some grant money to see if we could take it to the next level.
They obviously wanted to demo some software they thought had some potential and this added the "awwww" factor by using a game most are familiar with. Great marketing and I really hope they too get to spend more time developing something they think will be the next big thing in robotics technology!

I feel bad for them. They'll either have to cut out a ton of small paper squares every time they do this or have to pick out all the gross fuzzy things from the Roomba catch.

If I remember, there was a Penny Arcade strip about this. RPG house cleaning, I think.
