   Maybe the 100% coverage claim is all marketing and the algorithm is   
   something like this:   
      
   while (true) {   
   	switch (roomSize) {   
   		case SMALLL:   
   			moveForward(1m);   
   			break;   
   		case MEDIUM:   
   			moveForward(2m);   
   			break;   
   		case LARGE:   
   			moveForward(3m);   
   			break;   
   	}   
   	turnRandomAngle();   
   }   
      
   collissionInterrupt() {   
   	moveABitBack();   
   	turnRandomAngle();   
   }
