  • roombas are worn out, cant dock themselves anymore using seek dock
  • completely redesign the user facing docking process
    • get rid of the auto dock instructions
    • replace it with a flow for manual docking mode:
      • does a little explanation
        • line up your round front sensor with the sensor on the dock
        • maybe show a video or an image in the HUD to assist
      • plays a song on the roomba to indicate that "docking mode" has been entered even though its all client side.
      • forces the camera to look all the way down so people can see their round front sensor
      • limits movement speed to be very slow to help people be more precise
  • MAYBE try some computer vision stuff that runs server-side and guides people? sounds hard and slow and not worth it.
