It's all about convenience. Too bad it doesn't clean itself. <b>Pros:</b>Its good on carpet, hardwood floors and tile floors. <b>Cons;</b>Can get stuck, does not clean stairs, loud operation, loses charge quickly and side brush does not last!

In that instance, most of us will want a bot from <a href="http://www.readybot.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=10&Itemid=8" rel="nofollow">ReadyBot</a>, which carries a Roomba within itself. Then it will also interact with your dish washer, clothes washer, and clothes dryer. As it's now 2010, I think we're approaching the "knee in the curve", so God willing, I'm gonna buy one of those as well!

This type of sensor is commonplace on expensive research platforms; making them available at this price point could open up an entirely new era for hobby robotics. If you're interested... the laser rangefinder inside the XV-11 were documented at a robotics conference (ICRA 2008).
