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.
