Meet the Looj - iRobot Goes Into Gutter Cleaning

The internet is abuzz with some recent news on iRobot that Engadget uncovered - apparently iRobot's latest venture will be a gutter cleaning robot named "Looj " (no, not this kind). The FCC documents that Engadget discovered have since then been made private until October 13th.

The robot is supposed to be remote controlled and has a flipper to send debris out of the gutters. It has apparently has a belt clip to allow you to safely scale a ladder with both hands free.

One of the questions that seems to come up frequently is how this 'bot will turn corners. It's also not clear whether iRobot will be targeting this product to consumers or to larger contractors or business that specialize in gutters.

What do you think?
