So technically, you could make it so you could use the bluetooth software to synch to your phone that would then send commands to your computer which would in turn control your Roomba while all watching it from a web cam. And you could theoretically do this from say Spain?

possibly, but you wouldn't want to do that with the scooba model because of the dirty water left behind.

I think it would work if you were in, say, Scotland, but probably not Spain. Probably not Madagascar either.

I'm missing something here... My roomba already comes with a remote control; what difference is this going to make. If I really wanted to bother, I could probably program a universal remote control to control the roomba as well.

so whats the point of this... TO Vacuum your self? I dono seems pointless to me. The main reason i would buy a roomba is not to have to do the vacuuming. FLippin Nerd

This further proves my theory that the amount of sex you have is inversely proportional to your IQ.

I love how you take a vacuum whose sole appeal is its ability to operate without your input and then modify it so that you actually have to control it, lol.

Impressive, but not sure about the usefullness.
