Build Your Own iRobot Roomba System

Experimentally-minded types have been tweaking Roombas for years, but the Create® programmable robot plan is the first time iRobot® has given in to the “design my own” crowd. Now you can easily choose options that previously would have required a lot of tinkering to get right. No longer do you have to make do: iRobot® offers full developer's packages to build on. Last year in 2007, they even awarded a $5,000 prize for the best new experimental robot built on the Create® platform.

How many people can say, “I design my own robots”? Think of it: the ultimate geek's revenge, something you can build on for as little as $129.99. It doesn't cost an arm and a leg, so the Create® a robot plan is great for the occasional casual science experiment... or maybe that next iRobot® Create® Challenge, hmmm? Come on, all you techies -- the tools are there to let you make the next wonder of the world. And all for a decent price, too.
