Roomba - It's Hackable

Bostonist caught ourselves checking out the business section in the Globe the other day, we were marveling the Roomba. Unbeknownst to us the Roomba is totally hackable, in fact iRobot (the Burlington based corporation making cleaning tools and sniper robots) released a tool to mod your vacuum. There’re also some entrepreneurs who can outfit your toy with a stylish outfit. We might not have the money to drop on our own Roomba to screw around with but we can check out what others are doing through the power of the internets. An entire wiki site exists devoted to the mods-even an animatronic monkey head atop a vacuum featured in video. Maybe we’ll get shit in our comments for posting this video (below) as it’s merely vacuuming set to music but we think it is a Dynamite type love for the floor cleaning machine.
