That rocks my socks off. I don't know how good for it would be the Roomba (heat retention and lack of ventilation), but it's really, really funny.

Just be careful because this costume covers up all the sensors. The myRoomBud kids did quite a bit of testing with the RoomBud covers to make sure that the virtual walls still work, the Roomba still finds the home base, and the wall following sensor still works.

just our $.02 :D

If you don't dress up your Roomba, it's just a naked vacuum.

Ok then just look at the pictures on their site and copy that design... :P

And either way it is not good for the Roomba. I would know...

Ben, just because you had an issue with a RoomBud cover doesn't mean everyone will. I've had smoke from two of my reds and they were not wearing anything. U11 going up in smoke happens. You already brought this up in one RoomBud Topic, no need to dig up another two year old topic.
