Motorized kitchen island, controlled by iPhone
Tim Thaler wanted to maximize the floor space in his kitchen, but also needed a solution for an island. How could he have both? By hiding the island in the floor. Tim’s island comes up and down with the touch of a button on his iPhone — there’s an app for that. Check out the video below.

I think it's the natural evolution of cats on Roombas.

The iPhone app is the least cool part of this project, as it's just a website.

Seems kinda silly to me. Not sure I want a kitchen counter that people walk all over.

Not to mention the joys of spillage.

And why no cat in the video? What a letdown.

Yeah, I was looking for the cat too.
So, to protect the island he needs to have a carpet on top of the counter. I was reading his comment section and he says he doesn't prepare any food on the island. Seems kinda odd for an island.

I suppose it provides some extra counter space when you need it, but seem kind of pointless if you don't prepare food on it. That seems to be when I need the extra counter space the most...

The proper move here is to put the litterbox there.

I just want to mess with the cat while he's taking a dump, not make him the center piece of my fecal friendly kitchen.

I've always known that you were a cataphiliac.

If you didn't get such decent k/d ratios, I'd have lost all respect for you with that statement.

You'd definitely need a rug to cover it when it is in the floor. But I'd love to have something like that in my kitchen. The way my kitchen is set up I have plenty of floor space but limited counter space. If I go with an island then I'll have plenty of counter space but my floor space would be somewhat cramped. This would let me kill two birds with one stone. Unfortunately it would cost a fortune ....
