If it can be remote controlled, it can be remote controlled via program. Ive always thought the original roomba was lacking in that it couldnt charge itself and you couldnt program the room into it. The charging thing has been somewhat addressed (though not completly)but being able to program it via pc is a step in the right direction.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[tcc3]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2006 2:32AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to control Roomba via USB or Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/15/how-to-control-roomba-via-usb-or-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/15/how-to-control-roomba-via-usb-or-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[May be this idea is good.

Not home why care?  Unless you have a dog or something and would like to be able to hit the clean button from Hong Kong.  But the scheduler will do that....I dont see the reason....Expensive robot that youll need to buy more parts for anyways with a vacuum attatched to the bottom?  Just buy a robot kit.  I guess this goes under the hacks (Because I can) area.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris McDowell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 16th 2006 5:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on How to control Roomba via USB or Bluetooth]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/15/how-to-control-roomba-via-usb-or-bluetooth/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/15/how-to-control-roomba-via-usb-or-bluetooth/</guid><description><![CDATA[Reminds me of the old LOGO/Turtle programs.
