You can tell it's a genuine high-quality open-source project because the name sucks

    About the name: “oomwoo” is a rotational ambigram — it reads the same flipped 180°, just like the robot itself roaming your floor in every direction.

    It's called OOMWOO in all caps dude. My idea is, call it literally anything else. Also I'm getting one
