Tom just sent over his review of the new iRobot Create, complete with tons of photos and projects, he writes -

"iRobot, a pioneering robot company that has sold millions of iRobot Roomba vacuuming robots, has introduced a remarkable robot platform that fills a major gap.

The iRobot Create is a dependable, rugged and versatile robot base that can be used for uncounted robotics hobby and research applications. It includes a selection of software routines developed for iRobot's commercial appliance bots and a well-engineered, robust chassis designed for longevity. Many will consider this to be a DIY-roboticist's dream come true. " - Link.

Heh, I was so impressed by the number of sensors and the fact that it is all controllable by serial, I ordered it for my embedded-linux based platform.
