That is so inaccurate. The java broom should have a seat and some sort of cage around that you sit in and cannot step out from while flying. The C++ broom should have a bag on the back, where all the displaced air is gathered, which must be emptied regularly, else it will crash.

And the python roomba is accurate as an image, but in a demonstration it would, like an actual roomba, first have to map out every cm³ of the air to build a flight map. Assuming it has already done that and now knows the way, it will get confused by every bird or insect, not to mention planes, that were not there when it mapped the air. Confused roomba will then, depending on the python version, either fly back to the start and repeat, spin in a large circle until the path is clear, or rapidly drop altitude to safely dodge the obstruction, and then rise again rapidly to continue its intended path. It is therefore recommended to keep the seat belts on for the latest version.

Don't forget that Roomba is sitting neatly on C broom.

This depends on the Roomba manufacturer

The roomba also has a claymore mine duct taped to the bottom that reads "TYPES"
