The RoboSweep people should be hauled in for fraud! I saw the pictures of its insides... and basically (from a long childhood of disassembling toy "bump n go" robots) I believe the RoboSweep is worth about $5 bucks, tops. Do this: 1. Go into your local KayBee or Toys R Us toystore or swapmeet/fleamarket. 2. Buy one of those $5 buck "bump n go" robots/cars. 3. Dissassemble said toy 4. Note the virtually identical setup as the "RoboSweep": battery case, wires, one made-in-China 25 cent motor, little go-round-n-round wheels. And reading the RoboSweep site http://www.youcansave.com/robosweep.asp, it promises the world out of what is basically a child's cheap-ass toy! Class action anyone?;-)
