Roomba Wifi Kickstarter

Looks like a neat idea, the WiFi unit is small. The iOS and Android app looks interesting. The EZB(4) can do a lot more using a UART port and some two way conversation with the Roomba 500 through 800 models Roomba WiFi

Would it be possable to add the ability to save the the...
