You'll spend the same amount of money on the vacuum as you will on one of
these
Except the RPLidar is built for hobby robotics, already functional, and already has solid ROS support. You wouldn't get anything done in VEX since it has it's own motor and isn't a VEX part, but it's a good option for a personal robot or for the Roborio, and again, same const as the neato, but you don't need to take a vacuum apart and risk breaking things.
