<>Did you forget about iRobot's Droid Factory?
Today marks a new 52-week low for iRobot Corporation (IRBT) after the stock made a comeback late last year, it just hasn't been able to keep the momentum.

A chicken in every pot, a car in every driveway, a computer on every desk, and a robot in every vacuum closet! And it doesn't hurt that iRobot is making machines to deal with bombs, because there's no shortage of wackos out there trying to blow us up.
