<DIV align="right" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>Exhibit&nbsp;99.2</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">I am pleased to announce that a proposal to approve a voluntary stock option exchange program and
related amendment to our 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (&#147;Option Exchange Program&#148;) will be
submitted to our stockholders for vote at our 2009 annual meeting scheduled for May&nbsp;28, 2009.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">At iRobot, we consider stock options to be a significant component of our incentive and retention
programs because we believe that equity compensation encourages us to act like owners of the
company. Like many companies these days, iRobot has been, and continues to be, adversely affected
by the global economic crisis. As a result of the significant decline in our stock price over the
last few years, many of our employees now hold stock options with exercise prices that are
significantly higher than the current market price of our common stock (known as out-of-the-money
stock options).</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">If the
Option Exchange Program is approved by our stockholders, eligible
employees, which excludes our executive officers and directors,  will be given an
opportunity to exchange certain out-of-the-money outstanding stock options for new options with a
lower exercise price covering a fewer number of options. The number of new options will be
determined using exchange ratios designed to result in the new options having a fair value from an
accounting perspective approximately equal to the stock options that are being exchanged. The new
options will be granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our common stock on
the date the Option Exchange Program closes. Additionally, the new options will have a new vesting
schedule such that previously vested options will vest one year from the grant date of the new
options and unvested options will have one year added to the original vesting date. It is
currently expected that the Option Exchange Program will commence on or about April&nbsp;30, 2009 and
that eligible employees will then have at least 20 business days to elect to participate in the
program.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">The attached Frequently Asked Questions is intended to provide you with a high-level summary of the
Option Exchange Program. Additional information on the proposed Option Exchange Program is also
available in our preliminary proxy statement filed today with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. For access to the proxy statement, please visit
<a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013509002475/b74873prpre14a.htm">http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013509002475/b74873prpre14a.htm</a>. As mentioned above,
the Option Exchange Program has not yet commenced. Over the coming weeks, additional information
regarding the program will be provided to you. We will also be holding informational meetings to
answer any questions you might have at that time.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Participation in the Option Exchange Program is completely voluntary. This email does <I>not</I>
constitute an offer to exchange, buy or sell stock options or iRobot&#146;s common stock and is being
sent to you for informational purposes only. Please understand that we cannot advise you on
whether or not to exchange your options and recommend that you speak with a financial advisor to
address questions about your personal decision.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Thank you for your continued service to iRobot.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>General Information</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following employee Frequently Asked Questions (&#147;FAQ&#148;) was prepared to address common
questions that you may have about our proposed stock option exchange program (the &#147;Option Exchange
Program&#148;). Stockholder approval of the Option Exchange Program and a related amendment to our
2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the &#147;2005 Plan&#148;) will be solicited at our annual meeting of
stockholders, scheduled for May&nbsp;28, 2009 (the &#147;2009 Annual Meeting&#148;).</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The information in this FAQ is based on the information contained in our preliminary proxy
statement as filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;). You can access a
copy of our preliminary proxy statement at
<a href="http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013509002475/b74873prpre14a.htm">http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1159167/000095013509002475/b74873prpre14a.htm</a>. Our definitive proxy statement for our
2009 Annual Meeting is expected to be filed with the SEC on or about April&nbsp;13, 2009 and sent to
stockholders on or about April&nbsp;21, 2009. Our board of directors has the discretion to terminate or
postpone the Option Exchange Program at any time either before launching the program or, even if
our stockholders approve the program, at any time before the program expires. The information in
this employee FAQ is as of April&nbsp;2, 2009, and does not contain complete details about the Option
Exchange Program. We will send more information to you on the date we launch the Option Exchange
Program and such materials will be filed with the SEC on a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule&nbsp;TO.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to SEC regulations, we cannot advise you as to whether or not you should participate in
the Option Exchange Program.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>1. Why does iRobot intend to offer the Option Exchange Program to employees?</B></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iRobot believes that an effective and competitive employee incentive program is critical for
the future growth and success of our business. We rely heavily on our employees to implement our
strategic initiatives, expand and develop our business and satisfy customer needs.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Due to the significant decline of our stock price over the last few years, many employees now
hold stock options with exercise prices higher than the current market price of our common stock
(such options are also known as &#147;out-of-the-money&#148; stock options). For example, 67% of our
outstanding stock options had exercise prices greater than the closing price of our common stock as
reported on the NASDAQ Global Market (&#147;NASDAQ&#148;) on March&nbsp;20, 2009 of $8.40. The Option Exchange
Program would be a voluntary opportunity for employees, who are eligible to participate, to
surrender certain outstanding out-of-the-money stock options in exchange for new stock options (the
&#147;New Options&#148;) exercisable for fewer shares of our common stock with a lower exercise price and a
new vesting schedule. The number shares of our common stock underlying the New Options would be
determined using exchange ratios designed to result in the New Options having a fair value (from an
accounting perspective) approximately equal to the stock options that are exchanged.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>2. Who would be eligible to participate in the Option Exchange Program?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Option Exchange Program would be open to all of our regular employees, excluding:</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">who hold eligible stock options (&#147;Eligible Participants&#148;). To be eligible, an employee must be
employed by us at the time the Option Exchange Program commences. Additionally, an Eligible
Participant who surrenders his or her eligible options for exchange must be an employee on the date
the New Options are granted to receive the New Options.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>3. When would the Option Exchange Program take place?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are planning on commencing the Option Exchange Program on or around April&nbsp;30, 2009. From
the time the Option Exchange Program commences, Eligible Participants would be given at least 20
business days to make an election to exchange all or a portion of their eligible options. If our
stockholders approve the amendment to the 2005 Plan and the Option Exchange Program at the 2009
Annual Meeting, we currently intend that the New Options would be granted as of the closing of the
Option Exchange Program, which we expect would be on May&nbsp;29, 2009.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Employees should keep in mind that even if the Option Exchange Program is approved by our
stockholders at the 2009 Annual Meeting, our board of directors retains the authority, in its sole
discretion, to terminate or postpone the program, at any time prior to the closing of the Option
Exchange Program, and to exclude certain eligible options or Eligible Participants from
participating in the Option Exchange Program due to tax, regulatory or accounting reasons or
because participation would be inadvisable or impractical.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>4. Do I have to participate in the Option Exchange Program?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Participation in the Option Exchange Program would be completely voluntary. If you choose not
to participate, you would keep all your outstanding stock options, including your Eligible Options,
and would not receive any New Options under the Option Exchange Program. No changes would be made
to the terms of your current stock options.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>5. What options are eligible for exchange under the Option Exchange
Program and what would I receive if I participate in the program?</B></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the Option Exchange Program, Eligible Participants would be able to elect to exchange
outstanding eligible options to purchase shares of our common stock for New Options. &#147;Eligible
Options&#148; are options with an exercise price per share greater than or equal to the higher of
(1)&nbsp;$13.00 or (2)&nbsp;40% above the 90-day average closing price of our common stock as reported by
NASDAQ for the business day on which the Option Exchange Program closes (the &#147;Trailing Average
Price&#148;). &nbsp;</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each New Option would have: (1)&nbsp;an exercise price per share equal to the closing price of our
common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the date the New Option is granted, (2)&nbsp;have the same
expiration date as the exchanged Eligible Option, (3)&nbsp;not be exercisable on the date it is granted,
even if the corresponding exchanged Eligible Option had previously become exercisable, and (4)&nbsp;have
a different vesting schedule as outlined in Question 10 below.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>6. Why would only stock options with an exercise price greater than or
equal to the higher of $13.00 or the Trailing Average Price be
eligible for exchange?</B></DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe that options that are not significantly out-of-the-money continue to provide
valuable incentives for employees. We set the &#147;floor&#148; at the higher of $13.00 or the Trailing
Average Price to provide significant benefits to employees while providing a reasonable proposal to
stockholders who must approve the Option Exchange Program.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>7. If I participate in the Option Exchange Program, how many New Options would I receive?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In the Option Exchange Program, Eligible Participants would be offered a one-time opportunity
to exchange their Eligible Options for New Options exercisable for fewer shares of our common stock
based upon a specified methodology for determining exchange ratios. We would be using an industry
standard option valuation model to determine the actual exchange ratios used in the Option Exchange
Program. The</DIV>

<DIV style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif">
<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">exchange ratios would be determined by our compensation committee of our board of directors
shortly before the commencement of the Option Exchange Program.
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Although the actual exchange ratios would not be finalized until shortly before the
commencement of the Option Exchange Program, the following table shows a <B><I>hypothetical </I></B>example of
the exchange ratios that could be applied to calculate the number of shares of our common stock
underlying New Options to be granted for exchanged Eligible Options. The exchange ratios set forth
in the table were calculated assuming a fair market value of our common stock of $8.40 per share
and using exchange ratios that result in the fair value of the New Options being approximately
equal to the fair value (from an accounting perspective) of the Eligible Options surrendered based
on valuation assumptions made as of the close of the Option Exchange Program.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>8. Why isn&#146;t the exchange ratio 1-to-1 for all eligible options?</B>
</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the exchange ratios must balance the interests of both our employees and our
stockholders. As a result, to make the program more attractive to our stockholders, we have
designed it to be &#147;value-for-value.&#148; This means that the exchange ratios used to determine the
number of shares of our common stock underlying New Options that would be granted in exchange for
Eligible Options will be calculated to result, from an accounting perspective, in the fair value of
Eligible Options being approximately equal to the fair value of the New Options. By calculating
the exchange ratios in such a manner, we do not expect to recognize any significant incremental
compensation expense for financial reporting purposes as a result of the Option Exchange Program.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each New Option would be granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our
common stock as reported by NASDAQ on the day which the Option Exchange Program closes, which we
currently expect to be May&nbsp;29, 2009.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>11. When would I receive my New Options?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our stockholders must approve the Option Exchange Program before we can close the offer to
exchange and issue the New Options. Assuming the Option Exchange Program is approved by our
stockholders at the 2009 Annual Meeting, we expect to close the Option Exchange Program and grant
the New Options on the date following our 2009 Annual Meeting, which we currently expect to be May
29, 2009. The New Options would appear in your E*Trade account as soon as administratively
feasible after the close of the Option Exchange Program.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>12. If I choose to participate in the Option Exchange Program can I exchange partial grants?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No.&nbsp;Under the Option Exchange Program, you would be able to exchange Eligible Options on a
grant-by-grant basis. This means that you may choose to exchange some Eligible Options, and choose
not to exchange others. You cannot exchange a portion of an Eligible Option from a single grant.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>13. Can I exchange options that are already exercisable or about to become exercisable?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Yes. Under the Option Exchange Program, you would be able to exchange Eligible Options that
are already exercisable or about to become exercisable; although exchanged Eligible Options would
be subject to a new vesting schedule as outlined in Question 10 above.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>14. Can I exchange shares of iRobot common stock that I acquired upon
exercise of my iRobot stock options?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No.&nbsp;This offer applies only to outstanding iRobot stock options that would be eligible under
the Option Exchange Program. You would not be able to exchange shares of iRobot stock that you own
outright.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>15. Why would I have to give up my old options? Can&#146;t iRobot just grant
new options at the current price?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We designed the Option Exchange Program to avoid the dilution in ownership to our stockholders
that would result if we granted employees additional stock options to supplement their
out-of-the-money stock options. If we were simply to issue new stock options, we would increase our
stock compensation expense, which could negatively impact our stock price.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>16. What if the stockholders do not approve the Option Exchange Program?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If the Option Exchange Program is not approved by the stockholders at the 2009 Annual Meeting,
then we will not be able to proceed with the program. In that situation, you would retain your
Eligible Options, whether or not you have already tendered them for exchange, and no changes would
be made to the terms of those stock options.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>17. What if I leave iRobot after the program begins but before my New Options are granted?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To receive New Options, you would need to be employed by iRobot at the time the Option
Exchange Program is launched and at the time the New Options are granted. If you elect to
participate in the Option Exchange Program and your employment terminates for any reason before the
New Options are granted,</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>18. What if I elect to participate and leave iRobot after the New Options are granted?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If you elected to participate in the Option Exchange Program and your employment ends for any
reason after you receive a New Option, the terms and conditions of the New Option would apply.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>19. Does iRobot recommend that employees participate in the program, if approved?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;iRobot is providing as much information as possible to assist you to make your own informed
decision. You may seek your own outside legal counsel, accountant and/or financial advisor for
further advice. No one from iRobot is, or would be, authorized to provide you with advice,
recommendations or additional information in this regard.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>20. Would I owe taxes if I participate in the program?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We believe the exchange of Eligible Options should be treated as a non-taxable exchange and no
income should be recognized for U.S. federal or state income tax purposes upon grant of the New
Options. The Internal Revenue Service, however, is not precluded from adopting a contrary
position, and the laws and regulations themselves are subject to change. We recommend that you
consult your own accountant or financial advisor for additional information about your personal tax
situation.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 12pt"><B>21. I currently have incentive stock options. Would my New Options be incentive stock options?</B></DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;No.&nbsp;All New Options would be non-qualified stock options. Please consult with your tax
advisor regarding the differences in the tax treatment of incentive stock options versus
non-qualified stock options.</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 10pt">Recently, we announced a proposal to approve a voluntary stock option exchange program and related
amendment to our 2005 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (&#147;Option Exchange Program&#148;) will be submitted
