WRV - no access point roaming?

I have the WRV in my office for testing before I take it to my house. The office area I’m in is fairly large and has quite a few access points in and around it. The vacuum seems to have a preferred access point and it hangs onto it as it goes around the building. Eventually, it’ll loose connectivity because of the distance and number of walls between the vacuum and AP. Despite that, it never roams. The parallel for home users would be folks who have mesh access points or repeaters. I’m guessing the WRV gets the first BSSID it sees and then holds onto it indefinitely.

Is there any logic or programming to handle roaming? Even if it’s an ugly drop and reconnect. It doesn’t support 11k, r, or v. I’m adding some stats/data from the wireless controller just give a feel for what’s around. I’ve done a pcap of it just for funsies but I’m not sharing that here for privacy reasons. The vacuum is connected to a dot1x/RADIUS server so I cut that portion of the logs out as well.
