My day was spent in Machong and Dongguan meeting with management and touring factory locations of the company we use to manufacture our gear boxes (used in wheel module assemblies and cleaning heads).  The evening was reserved for a meeting and dinner celebration with all iRobot employees based in our Guangzhou office.  I gave a presentation covering the R&D organization and our recent initiative to more fully embrace agile development methods.

It is considered a great honor in Chinese culture to be photographed with top management.  We took the time to create a portrait with each member of our Chinese contingent and will have prints framed and presented as gifts.
