Book Reviews of Hacking Roomba: ExtremeTech

Book Review: Roomba mods unleashed
Summary: 4 Stars

Great book, I would suggest getting more than one roomba so you can mod one and still vac the floors. Top fun, all good info in one book, Yes you can get most of the info online but I think its better to have the directions at hand when halfway through a mod instead of rushing to look it up again link after link
