Now here’s something interesting, I set up a photo camera in my room, turned out all the lights and took a long-exposure shot of my roomba doing it’s thing for about 30 minutes. The result is a picture that shows the path of the roomba through it’s cleaning cycle, it looks like a flight map or something. It really hits every spot!
This raises the interesting question of what the Roomba would take in a different room, or if it had a different starting point in the same room, or even if it would repeat itself from the same starting point. I lack a robot servant, but should get one.
If any of you got one and felt like recreating this experiment, please post photos in the comments!

This is why I love my roomba, it really does do an excellent job cleaning my wood floors. Great photography too, thanks for sharing.
Wow, talk about sacred geometry!

that truely is a thing of beauty and wonder… not just the photograph but the whole thought process and time investment it took to do something like that… and do you know what i ged from it…? see the little spiral?? me thinks there will always be one of them there spirals… if a thing lives… it is just intrisic to the nature of life… and so… my friend… me thinks the Roomba might in fact live….
that being said i think i have to warn you that i am planning on recruiting you… for The Project… well at least you are on the prospective potential willing recruit list…lists… yep… just put you there… i like to warn people of these things in advance so years later i can pull the stuff and say… see i warned you… and get my fav responce… “that was you?? i thought that was some internet wack job… heheh… you are a wack job… ” but really in the end it is all about the laugh… and did you ever notice that the things we laugh about are usually things that if we did not laugh at them then we would probably want to cry…
i wonder if the roomba laughs… if the roomba laughs then first it would have to have cryed… we always cry .. and cry and cry… until we learn to laugh…
heheheh
