iRobot rocks! Last week we the myRoomBud crew visited iRobot, Thanks Sharon. We met Helen Greiner and Colin Angle. They were really nice. They even brought us soda and cookies. Ms. Greiner talked to us about how iRobot started and how she became interested in robots. We saw some people working with the Roombas, checked out the big robot Gator cart, and were able to see some of the PackBots running around. Griffin asked if Santa Claus could bring him a PackBot for Christmas. We then talked a bit about our RoomBud costumes for the Roombas with the marketing person, Thanks Nancy! At the end, we heard the iRobot historian, she's a professional story teller, tell us the real story behind iRobot, Thanks Laura. Did you know that the first Roomba (sort of) was made from Legos and a bottle brush?
