iRobot Corp (NASDAQ:IRBT)

Okay, so makin' robot weapons in one thing, but these Roombas? Early adopters are buying two or three, plus the Scooba for the kitchen and they are NOT cheap. I think the product line is nearly three years from mature so the revenue numbers have a lot of room to grow, 25 - 30 is my value in one year.

They just need to improve sales channels in Asia and Europe, and bring out cool new products! (it's a company with MIT graduates... they've got smarts!)

Aspirations for small and practical robotics makes sense in a time when computing power will realize its next exciting wave of applications via robotics.

This is the next booming market...

World class robotics experts. Home products are fun and useful but the military products seem to me to be where the long term excitement is.

Rule breaker. Technical chart is positive divergent.

Whether its a robot vacuum or a robot weapons system, they make some cool toys and with the increasingly risk averse American public any company with a weapons system that can make things safer for our troops is probably not a bad bet.

The products from IRobot will change lives and save lives.

Watch for a move into the 20s

These guys don't let themselves get sidetracked by overpriced daydreams. Yeah, they have the skills and the curiosity it takes to invent neat things, but it's their end-user orientation, discipline and practicality that will help them grow. The product line is developing very sensibly. The relatively boring Roomba, for instance, has put them in position to produce the flexible, GOTTA-HAVE Create in terrific numbers. Given the attractive pricing, demand should escalate rapidly.

Robots will do everything we don't (and sometimes can't) do for ourselves. The technology will only get better and better. I suspect the military-side of the business will drive profit until you see your neighbor with a beer in his hand, watching his robot clean his house. When it goes mainstream, this will take off. This is long- 5-10 yrs.

no clear direction with unveiling new, overly expensive (and less and less innovative) products.

stock is still overpriced. even CEO is selling. should find a bottom soon but long term this stock is a disaster waiting to happen.

They have a good mixture of practicality and innovation in their product line. They surprised for the last three quarters on the upside. I believe the momentum will continue.

I'm a little torn on this stock. Their margins are a little low for me, but they are doing a lot of R

Consumer, military, government security, and law enforcement it is hitting all the right markets.

I work in the human factors field. Each year, I see a lot of cutting-edge research in a variety of domains, all the way from healthcare to defense. Over the last few years, the amount of research and innovation in robotics has been increasing dramatically. All of this research will eventually impact products. I don't have too much insight into iRobot, but it seems like they have a good team, have a good research base, and are well-balanced with both consumer and defense products. I see upside in the general field over the long-term, and believe iRobot could be a viable player.

It's close to its 52 weeks low and has potential for rebound.

solid company, deserves high multiple

not hard to imagine it trading over 24 in 2007, 33% gain, unlikely to be beaten by the S
