    @Slinkytech: Did you even read this article?
    The message between the lines is clearly… Roomba´s are MORE dangerous than snakes. Even on a plane. ;)

    2 questions:

    1) is it really necessary to explain how pacman is played?

    2) and when will billy mitchell get a crack at this? #roombapacman

    Hey do Roombas work very well at...you know...vacuuming? I'm sure it is my first choice in vacuum if I want to hack it to play pacman...but what if I want it to keep my carpet clean? #roombapacman

    @Justinpaulson: They don't replace a rull size vacuum. Roomba's are more sweepers than vacuum's. What they are good for is reducing the amount of vacuuming that you have to do a lot since they can take care of a fair chunk of the mess. #roombapacman

    Hacked Roombas are pretty impressive. Personally though, my favorite part is the portal they invented so that when the Pacman Roomba goes out one side of the playing field, he teleports to the other side. Call me crazy, but that might have some commercial applications, you know? #roombapacman

    I was thinking of getting a roomba at one point, 'cause the dyson i really want to replace my old beat up vacuum with is so expensive (Plus, screw my housemates, I want my room vacuumed). Now though it just doesn't seem worth it.

    why not just make a roomba in the shape of a Reuleaux triangle. Put the little sweeper thing in a corner of the triangle and work out some algorithms to have it be able to track its way through, cleaning out square corners perfectly.
