Meet my new nemesis, the Roomba:

Day 1:

Ben setup the Roombah and let it roam for the first time today. But not before erecting a barrier to prevent it from going into my room:

When he came home he spent five minutes searching for the Roomba before finding it wedged underneath the Media Center. But not only did it get wedged underneath but it swallowed the IR blaster cable connected from the Media Center to our set top box. Ben had to spend a good ten minutes disassembling the Roombah in under to untangle the IR blaster cable. After finishing this Ben then assembled a wall of magazines to prevent the Roombah from getting under the Media Center:

Of course since the Roomba was so busy swallowing our important cables it missed some major dust bunnies:

Day 2:

Again today Ben got home and couldn't find his Roomba. He looked high and lo before we tipped him off into checking out the bathroom. Turns out the Roombah got into the bathroom and while cleaning in there accidently closed the door locking itself in. But upon closer inspection not only had the Roomba locked itself in the bathroom but it trashed its own base station. If you look closely it has pushed the base station so that it is backwards making it impossible for the Roomba to dock itself:
