I’ve been much happier with my Roborock than my Roomba. It definitely seems smarter.

Have them fight to the death

It'd be an easy battle. The last iRobot device I had was a fickle piece of junk that'd error out constantly or ignore virtual walls. I'm on my second Roborock vacuum now and am very impressed with how well they work. I gave my first one away and it's still working great for the person I gave it to.
