Agreed , the roomba is a very good system . But i find it hard to justify hacking up several $100 just to build another bots homing system.

$20 will build a beacon and detector pair. and the same again for the line following . And you get to do it yourself. Lots of satifaction there .

If you have a dead roomba then thats ok , i guess .

Yes found them also .

I have a rovio with a northstar type homing and nav system , it is kinda tempting to use that, But i cant bring myself to butcher the little guy. :)

@Dj thanks lol , I read ezrobot threads before anything else !

My favorite part of this thread is at some point or another a little of everyone from the group of frequent users has jumped in for suggestions or working out solutions that everyone can use.

I am learning very quickly but its just my first robot ever , I could see this kind of thing being a career after jumping into the robotics world.
