For the past three years, Collins, a custodian, has been collecting and distributing clothes, school supplies, even food for the school's homeless students.

  "These are our babies," Collins said. "They just want to learn. I just want to take care of them. Some of them sleeping in cars, some in hotels." 

Collins said she was called to care for the kids while she was on her early shift three years ago. The students, she said, were dropped off early and hungry with no where to go. 

But it's the loss of her son, killed during a home invasion, that also motivates her mission.

How we picked

Since 2013, we’ve tracked 121 models (though many are now discontinued). Then, we prioritized some baseline specs:

• A brush roll. Robot vacuums don’t have much suction, so they need a brush roll to boost their cleaning performance. Most models have one and sometimes two rolls, but the cheapest bots are suction-only.
• An edge-cleaning brush. Usually, this is a spinning brush that sweeps debris into the path of a robot vacuum’s intake.
• Functional customer support in the US. Most brands are good or even great in this regard, but a few low-cost brands don’t even have an English-language website or American phone number to call. We skipped them.

The operator of a janitorial service that cleaned the Alamodome has been convicted in an invoice scam that led to more than $500,000 in overcharges.

Federal investigators say 54-year-old Geoffrey Comstock was convicted Wednesday in San Antonio of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and six counts of wire fraud.

The case involves the Alamodome, a multipurpose domed sports and special events facility operated by the city of San Antonio.

Authorities say Comstock owns the Frio Nevado Corp. and had an Alamodome janitorial contract from 2002 to 2016. Investigators say bogus invoices, submitted since mid-2014, were paid by the city.

Comstock faces up to 20 years in federal prison on each count.
