(Video) iRobot Create: The Build-a-Roomba

IRobot's Create is basically a barebones Roomba "without the brushes or cleaning fluid tank -- instead they tacked on some ports so people can mod the system to attach things like reticulating arms." Video after the jump.
One insane example of what it's capable of involves the unit, four directional sensors, and a hamster inside a ball. When the Hamster tilts the ball in a certain direction the Create moves that direction. Yes, in just a few easy steps you've created a hamster car

I love iRobot stuff, this is rad. I need one to add to my family of cool stuff, the Roomba, Scooba and I am going to get the Dirt Dog for my DH for Father's day.
