[ale] OT: Roomba Hacking

[Brian Pitts]

Has anyone on the list used the Roomba's Command Interface? My 
girlfriend recently bought a 2004 model off Craigslist. I'm trying to 
decide if it's worth paying $30 for the firmware upgrade 
(http://store.irobot.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2172890) and $30 
for the USB cable 
(http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/product_info.php?products_id=670) to 
play with it.
