Not just replace, upgrade too! I replaced the dustbin assembly on mine with a newer design and the improvement is quite noticeable. Oh yeah and at least my model has a serial port hidden under the faceplate and they publish the protocol to control it, including manual driving.
Spec for 500 series is here: https://www.irobot.lv/uploaded_files/File/iRobot_Roomba_500_Open_Interface_Spec.pdf … And they sell you the cable: http://store.irobot.com/default/parts-and-accessories/create-accessories/communication-cable-for-create-2/4466502.html … They also sell a version specifically meant for hacking: https://www.irobot.com/About-iRobot/STEM/Create-2.aspx … Also mine had this sticker on the package.pic.twitter.com/AAAxXPxAxQ
