Gutter cable fix
From RobotFAQ

[edit] Why
We have a lot of cables at the foot of our couch. Three laptops, mice, power strips, all of which give the roomba fits. Cables wrap around the spinner brush, it is bad for the cables and the robot.
[edit] How
My solution, which I am still working on, is thus:
- 12 feet of vinyl gutter from Home Depot, about $4
- Cut into two 34" lengths
- Painted black
- Set power strip, power cords, A/C adaptors in the gutter
- Slide gutter under front of couch

[edit] Summary
This provides us with 4" width of cool, vinyl housing to hold a myriad of work-at-home side effects such as cables, power supplies and anything else we want out of the roomba's way.
