5xx dressup

I see on the IRobot site that they will be selling many different colored snap on covers for the new series. I gather that's in place of or maybe in addition to the stick on covers.

I would think there is a way to mod these new cover plates.

Yes the kids have their new Roomba and are fitting the costumes for 500 series. Of course, all the animal covers look like they have a big 'ole smiley face on.

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

I plan to take the cover off mine and cover it with fancy contact paper which is a lot cheaper than the $20 covers and also will be more fun.

are there any roombud costumes available for the 500 series yet?

I checked the myroombud website, but there's notihng about 500 series on there yet.

Just bought my duaghter her own 560 and we need some way to determine which is my roomba and which is hers!
