  How difficult was this to do?

    I had to replace the motherboard with one from a different variant (same robot) that could be rooted. Outside of that - super easy.

  Is this a COA for irobot Roombas?

      Happy cake day. I was asking, before I dive into the hunt, if you saw any docs for doing the same sort of firmware update / swap for plain old irobot vacuums.

      Idk how motivated to be to go do this. Just started reading about valetudo.

      COA => course of action

        Ahh. To my knowledge, iRobot units aren’t rootable, and are therefore unsupported by Valetudo.
