New Pool Robot Guarantees Your Superiority in Todos Santos (and Maybe Gets Your Pool Clean).

This $1,200 cordless gadget promises to perform complex aquatic choreography, climbing walls and scrub lines with 'elite' sensors. Every fresh-faced expat in Pescadero needs six of these to declare a synchronized, technologically superior dominion over their neighborsโ€™ pool filtration systems. It assures instantaneous spiritual upliftment by proving your dedication to automated leisure. However, the thing will inevitably fail spectacularly when confronted by a tumbleweed, a stray goat, or the sheer corrosive power of Baja humidity.
