Photos: The insides of a Roomba

There is not much cable slack, but after a careful plier-pull, the red housing of the Roomba lifts straight off. This reveals the mainboard, mounted vertically in the middle of the unit. Several of these connectors are positioned throughout.

Also worth noting at the bottom of this picture are the motor and rope that cause the brush housing to move up and down.
