Robot App™ Description

"London Bridge is falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
London Bridge is falling down,
My fair lady"

Well, now roomba has to clean the mess!
Why not letting your roomba to dance while it plays this old folk song?

You can disable the auto discovery mechanism by entering into the manual mode by disconnecting the cable / Bluetooth device from Roomba and running the app. In the manual mode you will be requested to select your Roomba model and the serial COM port that you are connected to (don’t forget to connect the cable/ Bluetooth device back to Roomba as you enter the manual mode);
• Added safety mechanism- if a bumper is pressed during the driving/dancing; Roomba will drive backward immediately to protect its engines.
• Roomba stops singing when the app is closed;
• Added recovery mechanism if the app was shut down/lost connection in the middle of a song.
