todbot has developed a MIDI interface for the Roomba. RoombaMidi is an OSX application that acts as a virtual MIDI interface. It can be used by any standard MIDI sequencer and supports up to a 16 vacuum orchestra. It can even turn the vacuum motor on and off for a bass drum effect. I guess the circuit benders have a brand new toy on there hands, but who will be the first great Roomba artist?

Interesting, looks like the roomba hacking it coming along well.
In an odd twist, a midi mod is also available that will allow an old dot matrix printer to get out the scuff marks and bring out the shine on those no-wax and hardwood floors, also while making music.
sounds cool, strider_mt2k do you have a link for this?
