Before you buy a replacement battery for your dead Roomba, you might want to consider rebuilding the pack yourself. You can get a couple of 6 cell Sub-C NIMH packs for less money and more amp hours than the stock battery.

Cue the dramatic music! Another robotic mower? Will we need Arnold as the T-100 once again, to battle these robotic monstrosities? Wait, wait, wait… we’ve got a CGCS in the field who’s been using it.

From their testimonial page: We needed a portable cross-platform, architecture compiler system that would allow us to develop code on one OS or architecture and deploy it on another with out recompiling. The problem with using gcc was that for every target OS or architecture we would need a separate cross compiler. Additionally maintaining and developing this tool
