Get building with iRobot Create 2

New robotics kit allows you to construct and programme your own robots

Have you ever looked at your trusty Roomba, furiously working away to clean every inch of your room and think “It’s great, but . . .”?

If you have a list of things you wish your robot cleaner would do, and that could be possible with a little tinkering, the iRobot Create 2 might be a project worth taking on.

For $200, you’ll get a kit that you can programme to do almost anything your imagination can produce. Turn it into a roaming camera, transform it into a robotic DJ.

Or you could add some claw-like crushers and a buzz saw blade to it and pretend you're in Robot Wars. The choice is yours. irobot.com
