Finally, something comes off.

Finally, something comes off.
The entire front the Roomba serves to detect when the Roomba hits something. The black semi-circular plastic piece that covers the entire front of Roomba in this picture is a switch that moves inward and informs the Roomba when it has just hit something. The piece that was removed for this picture was the virtual wall sensor. It connected to the white connector you see in the middle of this picture.
