Thanks for the find vic7767. Now, after glancing through the document, I saw that there is some imprvement in the control of the new Roomba. But, it has some shortfalls, like no mention of, or control of, the Wireless Command Center(WCC). IMO, the lack of wait commands, and script commands. But probably the biggest letdown is information about the WCC, can we hack it or not?

The WCC is not supported via the OI. However if you have ideas for new features, we do look through user comments when deciding what will be included in the future. Scripting (and thus, wait commands) are also not available in the Roomba 500 OI.
