I am working on two problems.
1. I have dark furniture and a dark brick fireplace hearth both do not slow my 500 series bot. I have ordered black 3m reflective tape to attach to the bottom of the furniture and bottom of the brick to reflect the IR and possibly slow the bot. I will update the board when experiment is completed.
2. Metal bed frame legs scratching the IR faceplate on 500 series. I currently use 2.5" sections of cardboard mailing tubes slid over the legs to act as a bumper and keep the metal frame from scratching the faceplate. I plan to add some black refelctive tape to these also to slow the bot.
more to come.

roombob,


That would be nice to know if the reflective tape would actually work on those kinds of things.

Keep us informed.
