Has anyone seen any hacks to DirtDogs', like adding a vacuum?

The brushes are OK, but I think an extra bit of vacuum would really clean up.

I think it would be easy to add a cordless portable vaccum to the top of the DD and have it suck in via a vent in the top of the existing DD dirt compartment.

Here are some pictures and helpful information from rj5555 on how he performed the DD vacuum mod on his DD.

Thanks for that link.

The link shows a mod to use an existing roomba vacuum unit with a DD.

Has anyone seen a Roomba or DD, piggybacking anything like a vacuum unit?

I imagine it would be strong enough to carry it around, obviously it would lose it's ability to scoot under low tables.
