iRobot Roomba

Received an iRobot Roomba 5500 (aka Roomba Silver, Roomba 2 Silver Robotic Cleaner) as a wedding present, while we'll be putting it to good use about the flat I will be looking into ways to improve/upgrade it. So far I just have a collection of links for Roomba modifications and taken a few photos.
