iRobot Create Robot Review

Over at HackingRoomba.com, I did a quick review of the iRobot Create, iRobot’s robotics hacking-oriented robot that is basically a Roomba in disguise.

Short version: All the Roomba hacks here work on the Create, and the Create offers several advantages to the serious robotics experimenter. However, it’s not as cost-effective if you’re on a budget.

Hey Todd,

I couldn’t figure out how to contact you except through a comment.

I just wanted to show you this sweet roomba video:)

The song is great!
