First, it was...

Coming to a carpet near you

... the Grubhub Starship, then it was this, the autonomous carpet cleaner of Duncan Student Center. Spotted on the second floor, this autonomous machine was busy cleaning the carpet. Like the Starship, it has been hailed as a triumph, allowing limited human resources to be deployed elsewhere. While that may be true today, tomorrow, we may one day regret it as we find ourselves working for this machine! On the seeing this autonomous carpet cleaner, Fr. Ralph said, "Ah, I'll clean my own carpets thank you."

The Red Room is on Christmas Break hiatus, returning when school is back in session with more great stories from the oldest and most storied residence hall at Notre Dame, St. Edward's.
