It may be, but I practice a LOT on my home table and I'm frankly getting sick of vacuuming constantly, so I just bought one after seeing this thread. :thumbup:
Roomba - can it clean a pool table?
- Thread starter cluelesscuer
- Start date
It seems like a track system could be installed above the tables then mapped so that it can deliver a table vac or a rackbot, or even food orders to the seating area. Getting balls into the rack might be a challenge, though. If it could pick balls out of the table for racking, it could also pick them out for returning or for cleaning, too. Then you make it smart enough to identify balls that have been swapped and alert the staff. The possibilities are endless.
I use one...
I use one on my 9ft. Diamond table. It's not the main reason I bought the Roomba, but it serves as a nice secondary use case. It works just fine and I've never seen any indication that it hurts the felt (or anything else.) But, I'm not sure I'd buy one just for that.

I've had one for years but have never used it on my pool table.
FTR, it doesn't use brushes. It has counter rotating. very soft. rubber pinch rollers. This along with a lighter vacuum action works great. Better that a microfiber cloth on smooth floors. It doesn't work well on carpet.

I'm sure!
Everytime I see a Roomba, I think of him raising the roomba over his head and throwing it to the floor and plastic peices going EVERYWHERE.
I cringe everytime I think about it.
I don’t know. The guy takes used Roombas and refurbishes them. I understand that Steinway Billiards is also using them. The guy’s name was Manny G. Young, I believe. I don’t have any contact info. And I don’t know if he is still selling them. Contact Freezers or Steinway if you want more info.
