    Yeah, I wish Roomba's were affordable, too. Even on eBay, they are running in th $70-110 (USD) range. I'll wait until they get down below $25, pick up two, and build a self-motile Cat Exercise Machine that coincidentally sweeps the floor.

      Make sure you let us all know how your cat enjoys the workouts. ;)

    A few years ago B&Q had a sub 30 GBP version of the roomba. From what I have read it ok but not as intelligent as the roomba. I have watched a few of the roombas on Ebay, including shipping from the USA the top model sells (buy it now auctions) for less than you can pick up the lowest model from shops in the UK. We can only hope they make it cheaper to sell more of them :)
