It was nostalgic to see roomba in action
One time i put the roomba in the entrance to clean and when it was silent and i went out to move it, it was gone. I thought someone from the street have been in to steal it. Later on i found it in the bedroom it must somehow have puched open the door and then somehow have pushed it closed Again.
Roomba versus ordinary vacuum cleaner
Long time ago I have made a test to see if a roomba or a vacuum cleaner cleans best.
The entrance have two types of materials on the floor, tile and wood floors, some tiles are covered by 2 large doormats.I first used the ordinary vacuum cleaner to clean entrance. (no shaking or beating the doormats outside, just vacuum clean.) Then i empty the roomba's dust container and started roomba to clean entrance. After roomba was done cleaning entrance, then I looked in roomba's dust container and I found some dust and small stones. I gues roomba is better to clean doormats than ordinary vacum cleaner, I assume the dust and small stone came from the doormats, since nothing was visible at the floor when roomba started to clean.
Other purpos of roomba
The roomba have other use than clean floors, it can be used as some kind of entertaining nanny or toy for kids. My son have spend alot of hours sitting in his bed watching the roomba clean his room. He have also made som kind of test, he have cut som very small pices of paper to throw on floor, also throw when roomba is driving arround. The only thing stopping him is when roomba runs out of power. When it was new i think it was close to 1,5 hour of batery time and at the end like 45 minutes.
A long time ago I saw a website where some have build an arm with lego mindsstorm to put on top of a robot cleaner like roomba, i dont remember if it was a roomba or some other kind. They used the arm to move objects from the path of the robot cleaner. The thought of it is very nice no more moving shoes or toys.

Hi Jeremy
I have a question for you about SchedulableFields in Revit, exactly how to insert in C# Count parameter by Definition.AddField.
I can insert many other params but I haven´t did it with Count parameter. Where can I write you to solve this problem? Could you create a new post with this?
Thanks from Spain
