The saddest news is that they are down to like 4 mechanical engineers. There were at least 30 when I was working there.

I was told all the engineering actually gets done by the contractors in China. The engineers just send a wish list and the China team hacks it together.

iRobot not going to make it. 4 engineers can’t innovate just like that.
