+Okay, this is another quick tool, quick fix, part of my going to be my quick series for
+AgriPublic Radio.
+If you can contribute, something anything, just record something you find a value that
+you're doing and make a quick podcast about it.
+Today, I was at a town where my wife was complaining about the Roomba being giving your issues.
+We have two of them.
+One's the newer hotness and the old classic or an older classic second or third gen.
+In short, what you want to do is kind of use a blower to clean it out.
+If you don't have a blower, you can use a can of air, of course.
+So do your basics, your obvious things.
+These next two things are basically a standard, at least across my two Roombas that we have
+here.
+There's a little spinny thing on the right side of the Roomba that you can sweep under
+stuff.
+It's like a little try screw thing.
+You can basically, it's used to sweep around corners and things like that.
+These little brushes get messed up a little bit.
+What you can do is actually apply a little bit of heat to them.
+Maybe take an air, a dry air and an air heat gun, or if you have a tear dryer, you might
+be able to get these to straighten out.
+Mine are pretty straight on this one.
+I haven't had to mess with them that much.
+Of course, you can buy replacement little, sweetie things.
+So what you want to do is unscrew it, pull it up, verify that there's no hair up in
+there or anything like that.
+If you want to, you can get something called silicone spray or silicone spray.
+Silicone spray is pretty much safe to use on any plastics from what I understand.
+What you'll do is you'll spray a little bit in there just to get it wet and then maybe wipe
+off the excess drip because you don't want a whole lot of wetness in any kind of vacuum
+thing or anything that's going to process a lot of dust and dirt.
+You don't want it to be wet, right?
+So you want to get a little bit in there, maybe just to give it some slick moves so it can
+slide a little bit easier across the surface of the little churny thing.
+So that's the part of the little sweeper, more or less, that sits on the corner.
+It's like a dry sweeper.
+The next most important thing, which in the case of when I was at a town, crapped out,
+there is a roller in the front that is black and white halves.
+Now, from what I can gather, I've not looked this up.
+This is actually a component to detect whether or not it's moving, essentially, right?
+So when I take this out, there's actually pieces of cat scratching post inside of here.
+Excuse me for the blowing.
+So under this little ball, it's a sensor that I'm assuming detects white and dark or detects
+one or the other.
+So that way it knows it's moving.
+What happens is it gets stuck, and the only way it knows that it's stuck is that this
+ball is not rolling.
+So if the ball is not rolling in normal operation, the thing is going to think that it's stuck
+in constantly and just go and blah, blah, blah, blah.
+So you want to clean this out.
+So you pop it out with a screwdriver or whatever you want.
+It kind of sits in there.
+It's made to easily be maintained.
+Well, what you can do is you can pull the hair right off of the roller for this front wheel.
+And start with that background noise there.
+And you pull this pin out for the center pin.
+You can actually pull it out and where your gunk and stuff is, which my wife didn't clean
+out, is inside of this rod.
+So there's this axle that goes on this wheel.
+And then inside of the axle is a space.
+And for whatever reason, this is where all the dirt and grime get all stuck up in here.
+And that's usually what makes it stop for me, at least, is this axle space in the axle
+gets filled with dust and dirt and grime and won't spin around a little bit.
+And then blow through the center, both through the center of the wheel.
+And then if you want to spray a little bit of that silicone spray in there and then
+get it set it back in there, you're pretty much good to do.
+I'll blow it out.
+I'll blow the sensors out.
+I'll make sure the springs seem accurate.
+The newer one that's newer model, this is the, I don't know, with dirt detect.
+It's got a schedule and a clock on it, which is kind of pointless.
+The newer one is, seems to get stuck more than our whatever.
+This is the 65, the one I'm working on right now.
+So it seems to get stuck more than the other one we have.
+Now the older one we have, which is white, it's white, and like one of the second generation,
+something like that.
+That one, the problem we had is for whatever reason, it, I think it got, that wheel got stuck
+and then it thought it was stuck for like an hour and then burned out one of the motors
+on the left or right main motor.
+So that's what can happen if you don't clean your Rumba.
+It's going to get confused and it's going to be stuck in this forever ending loop and
+burn out some motor or some apparatus in the process of that.
+So anyways, that's a quick little bit here and it's probably going to be a part of the
+series of little quick ones for Hacker Public Radio.
+And if you can contribute, like I said, get a mic out, record it, headset, whatever,
+and even if you want to do a video, you can just make a little bit verbose, but contribute
+and have fun.
+This is just another quick tip.
+You can actually take leftover silicone, just silicone dry packets, bust them open, make
+sure that they're not like the charcoal activated ones, but make sure that they're clear or
+kind of all as clear looking ones.
+You can take those, set them aside and actually cook them.
+I think at 125 or 225, err on the side of lower, you're just drawing them out right.
+So it's essentially you're kind of putting them in a toaster almost.
+So I'll put them in the toaster oven on a bit cookie sheet with aluminum foil.
+Though actually I think melt if you get them too hot.
+So you want to, I think it's 125, you can look online.
+So you let them bake in there for like 45 minutes and then just kind of check on them and
+roll them around a little bit.
+I'll let them sit in there, like get them nice and dry.
+Let them cool, let them cool for a bit.
+And then I stick them in a plastic bag and mark it clean.
+So when I'm doing my, my jerky, then I'll have some nice clean stuff to keep the dry.
+And then that's one of the tips, quick tip.
