I can't put googly eyes on my Roomba, they interfere with the LIDAR. I almost cried when I realized, why should you have a Roomba, if you can't put googly eyes on it?
You can't put them on the top?
There is a little LIDAR tower on top of the Roomba. I could put the eyes on top of the tower, but there is not enough space, and it would look kind of weird. And if I put the eyes on the top of the Roomba, beneath the tower, the LIDAR can't see through the eyes. It's a tragic irony, really.
Why would small pieces of plastic interfere with an antenna?
Lidar is laser, not radio
Theirs is a predator, not a prey room a.
