My wife and I recently installed blacklight carpet in some parts of our arcade.
Our favorite fuzzball Ripley is showing just how much fur she can cast off in just a couple days.

She looks so innocent... But she's not.
Anyway, I decided to try sticking one of our robot vacuums in there to see how it does, but then immediately I was starting to get wigged out by how much it was bumping into the games.
I wrapped the thing in felt in the hopes that it'll prevent scratches.

Anyone running these in their arcade for a significant amount of time? Have you noticed any damage from the vacuums?
