 +Inventory of iRobot units
 +\\
 +^iRobot Unit          ^QTY     ^Description  ^
 +| Roomba Red 4100   | 2 | Both of the iRobot Red Roombas are in proper working order. Both of them have working vacuums as well. All that is needed is the proper battery pack and charging station.|
 +| Create                    | 2 | The Creates do not have any of vacuuming parts. They are purely for training. Both are in working order and are quieter than the Reds. They also only require an iRobot battery pack and charging station.|
 +
 +==== Details ====
 +
 +This section gives details along with media to show the iRobot units.
 +\\
 +The Reds can pick up small scraps of garbage along the floor and can navigate around obstacles as well as drops.

 +\\
 +
 +The Creates have all the motion capabilities as the Reds. However the Creates do not have any vacuuming parts, so they are unable to pick up any trash.
 +
 +{{:ashwin:img_0572_1_.jpg?200|Create underside}}
 +\\
 +
 +
 +==== Final Words ====
 +
 +This page's objective was to inventory the iRobot units within the lab. All the units are in working order and simply require batteries. The Reds can vacuum while the Creates can be used for teaching purposes.
 +\\
 +\\
 +Speculating future work derived from these units, includes potential programming projects. Plus the Reds can be used for lab cleaning purposes as well.
