Our first real proof of concept in a school gave us hallways, a classroom, Paul from building and grounds, a very happy janitor, and another classic lesson in live demos.

RevoRoute Robotics wrapped up its first trade show at MASMS, spending two days with educational facility professionals, school teams, custodial leaders, and vendors. From real conversations to scheduled demos and strong new prospects, MASMS was a great first step into the school facility world — and a reminder that seeing autonomous floor care in person changes the conversation fast.

Six months into our partnership with Keenon, RevoRoute Robotics is moving fast — and we’re building more than just a robot company. From real-world demos and upcoming trade shows to extended customer trials and our custom-built R3 CRM, we’re creating the systems, support, and local process needed to help facilities confidently bring autonomous robotics into their daily operations.

This one started with a text that felt a little spicy and ended with Rob talking about multiple locations, multiple robots, and an extended demo. Another day, another proof of concept.

We headed to Union Gospel Mission Twin Cities thinking it might feel more like a traditional church-style outreach space. What we found instead was something deeper, bigger, and honestly inspiring — and the robot demo went smooth from the start.

We rolled into New Prague High School to meet wrestling coach Dan Wagner and put the CleanBoss C40 to work. What started as a normal demo turned into one of those days where you learn something big fast.

The CleanPro C30 made its way into $5 Tan for a demo that started with a simple conversation and turned into a pretty perfect fit. With long hallways, smaller tanning rooms, steady foot traffic, and a district manager ready to ask the right questions, the C30 got mapped, customized with a “Welcome to $5 Tan” face, and went to work. Between the robot cruising the salon, the team getting excited, and a little Chipotle and coffee mixed in, this demo felt like another real-world win for RevoRoute Robotics.

Our first grocery store demo took us up to Grand Champion Meats in Foley, Minnesota, where the CleanBoss C40 and CleanPro C30 rolled into a busy store full of customers, employees, good questions, great food, and small-town curiosity. Between the daytime demo, overnight cleaning run, fresh-mopped floors, and Kelly letting the C40 rock for the weekend, Foley gave the robots a brand-new kind of test — and they showed up ready. Also, yes, the food and ice cream were absolutely worth talking about twice.

New Prague gave the CleanBoss C40 and CleanPro C30 a real test: dirt, mud chunks, sticky grime, and one nasty little pole barn. After a full robot tag-team demo and scheduled overnight cleaning, the results were better than we expected.

Renovation dust, textured floors, and grime that did not want to leave. We brought the CleanBoss C40 to Ditch Witch for a real floor-care test — and the robot came ready to scrub.

A follow-up visit at a major enterprise facility took the conversation from corporate vacuuming to corporate mopping — and maybe something even bigger after that. Because of confidentiality, we can’t share the company name or internal details, but we can say this: the team was impressed, the lobby layout was perfect, and the idea of remote support and scheduled 1:00 AM cleaning routes started making a whole lot of sense.

Because of confidentiality, we can’t share the company name, location, or internal details — but we can say this: RevoRoute Robotics recently had the opportunity to demonstrate commercial robotics inside a major enterprise facility, and the experience was incredible. The team was sharp, professional, and open-minded, and it was exciting to see how quickly they understood the value of robotics when it’s shown in a real-world setting. Cleaning, serving, hospitality, hauling, and facility-support robots are no longer “someday” technology — they’re becoming practical tools for real businesses right now.

We wrapped up a morning demo at Sola Salon, jumped in the car, and drove 3 to 3.5 hours north to Walker, Minnesota for one of the wildest opportunities we’ve had yet — Northern Lights Casino wanted to see three different robots in action.

What I expected to be a small salon turned into a perfect hunting ground for the CleanBoss C40. Long hallways, shared spaces, and nothing dirty was safe.

RevoRoute recently hit the road for back-to-back trade shows in northern Minnesota, showcasing cleaning and delivery robots at Northern Lights Casino and the Mason Brothers Trade Show. Along the way, the team reconnected with old friends at TSBL Distributing, met great people, and proved that robotics, hospitality, and a little too much fried food make for a pretty memorable week.  

Dog hair, mess, chaos, whatever was living in that floor… the CleanBoss C40 handled it. Canine Coach was a fun one.

We brought the CleanBoss C40 to Tangletown Bike Shop and let it do what it does best, clean like a beast and turn heads while doing it.

The day RevoRoute got real. Our first robots finally arrived, and it hit different seeing everything we’ve been building show up in person.
