leinhos's Journal: My Roomba's broken :(

Well, our Roomba experienced it's first failure (besides the replacement of the battery, which I consider to be a maintenance item). It seems that the bushing for the counter-rotating brush has loosened and no longer keeps the brush engaged to its drive gear. At least that's what appears to be the problem. If it turns out to be more, I'll be performing an autopsy of the thing to see how it all works (a sort-of silver lining), and go out an get a new one. I can use the new battery still, as well as the virtual wall unit. Still, it's a little dissapointing. Boo Hoo.
