    iRobot has rested on their laurels and patent portfolio for years while others (ie Roborock) have lapped their products. Looks like they’ll continue to decline into obscurity and count on patent troll lawsuits to survive. BTW, anyone want to buy a POS Roomba i7 that beats the hell out of furniture and baseboards while constantly getting jammed rollers?
