Roomba Hacking

While not exactly TiVo-related, the robotic vacuum Roomba has recently launched a community site that encourages hacking of the little bots. The cluefull CEO was recently quoted:

Roomba hacking is alive and well….I'm personally happy about that. It's a great robotic platform for hobbyists

Great to see a company embrace their most ardent supporters, and I couldn't help but notice the similarity to TiVo.

Yes, the Roomba folks are great. Just like the Tivo folks used to be. But we have to be honest, Tivo isn't nearly as hacker friendly since the series 2.
