Yeah, I've got a midget in mind......the short little freak that sits right in front of me...!

I'm thinking we will end up going in the direction of Brians post. I did some reading on iRobots website, and the lower end models (including the DirtDog) appear to rely on "bump" steer technology - i.e., they have to bump into something to find their pathway. The upper end units have wireless controls, and you can set up virtual walls for them, which is critical in our application. I've recommended to the boss's that we purchase the upper end unit for testing....
