roomba virtual walls

the roomba virtual walls are what, in theory, will keep in the roomba away from places it shouldn’t go, like the fireplace. while roombas usually come with 2 units, wouldn’t it be better (and cheaper) to make your own? and maybe embed them in the wall?

    sounds like a great idea. Do you know of any other cool roomba hacks?

    I’m fascinated and intrigued, but for the lazier or less curious, you can get extra virtual walls pretty cheaply on eBay. Search for “virtual wall.”

    I would think if you are at a hack site it should be because you are not lazy and you are curious.
