		At the same time she was speaking quite eloquently about the changing perceptions of robotics, her company was filing a lawsuit against a former Roomba distributor.
		Apparently, this robot is more than just a remote controlled car with brushes attached and, according to iRobot, benefits from Koolatron's former chummy roll with the robotics firm (it was one of iRobot's Roomba distributors from March 2003 to May 2004).
		In a tersely-worded press release, iRobot charges that Urus (or someone working for Urus and Koolatron) studied the design and engineering of the original Roomba robotic vacuum and is now selling a product that "closely resembles" the Roomba.

	Death to Cool
		But iRobot's founders had this dream: to place in every home robots that are cheap and task-specific and labor together with the unfussy coordination of Snow White's dwarves to clean your carpets, and perhaps in the future, wash your windows, mow your lawn, or mop your floors.
		The shift iRobot had to make, from high-cost prototype design to every-penny-counts mass production, "is a hugely daunting transition," says Robert Bruner, executive director of the Batten Institute at University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business.
		The eclecticism of iRobot may have saved it from the fate of some Internet companies, which assumed the mere existence of their technology would somehow will a market into being.
