Give your Roomba a personality
I think we may have taken a step too far over the edge with this one. Hackaing away using a RooTooth and the Roomba SCI, we have added personalities to the RoomBud characters. Roobit the Frog hops around before it vacuums. Hop to it Roobit. Roor the Tiger will roar, stalk and pounce. RoomBette La French Maid saunters up to you, turns and wiggles its butt before heading of to work. The myRoomBud Is Alive Dashboard or MIAD (pronounced 'maid') allows anyone with a RooTooth or other bluetooth interface to give your Roomba personality.
You can download the myRoomBud Is Alive Dashboard and watch videos of the RoomBuddies with a bit of personality on our website.

RoomBuddies spotted in the Seattle Post Intelligencer
On Saturday, the Seattle Post Intelligencer newspaper ran an article on the Roomba. Our buddy Daniel Wilson who sent us the autographed copy of his book "How to Survive a Robot Uprising," and Nancy Dussault of iRobot, who we met when we visited iRobot, were interviewed for the story. Well, myRoomBud and the RoomBud costumes were mentioned as well. You can read the article here

RoomBuds North of the Border
myRoomBud and RobotShop, Inc. www.robotshop.ca in Canada are teaming up to bring RoomBud costume covers to all the Roomba owners in Canada. It's mighty cold up there so it's no wonder that all those naked Roombas up there are screaming for cloths. Hmmmm. Wonder how a moose would sell up there?

Our first French Maid RoomBud sold in France
Well it took a while, but we finally sold a RoomBette La French Maid costume to someone in France. We were beginning to wonder if iRobot had not sold any Roomba vacuums there. This is not the first time that someone from outside the U.S. has bought one, but the first time that RoomBette gets to go back and visit her country of origin. And as we say in French, "Si vous pas habillez votre Roomba, c'est un vide nu."

A Roomba Costume for Mom on Mother's Day - Cozy
We were pretty tickled back before Christmas when we received emails from people saying that their Mom is going to love the RoomBud costume cover that they bought. Their Mom already had an iRobot Roomba and the RoomBud cover was the a perfect cute gift. Well, it's happening again. This time for Mother's Day! We are more than happy to help make a Mom smile and giggle.

Have a great day!
