This is a simple project that hopefully I wont over complicate. Since he Squeegee needs to get as close to furniture and the toilet and bathtub as possible this my be a challenge. After all we spend most our time trying to get our robots to avoid the objects in the room. Im giving new life to a radioshack robie jr rc controlled robot.

Thank you guys for the compliments it really makes my day to have positive feedback. Looks like I will just loose the camera as its not really needed for its purpose. As for future docking capabilities I could use an IR homing beacon just like all the other cleaning devices
. At least till I get the initial bugs worked out I will plug it in manually to charge.
@RGordon - Sure! you should make a cleaning robot or two. Surprised at how many of the home cleaning robots are very basic yet they charge 500 dollars. The only thing I found to hard wood was a robot swiffer called mint. So its still cool to make my own
Not impressive first movement video. I have two bugs. Right and left movement is reversed and poorly placed wiring is causing the radar to get jammed in place when it makes the starboard sweep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-ZdulTGOn4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Good to see the little guy getting around. I also like the idea of the EZ-B inside the dome. I think you are right, don't need a camera for this one.
@jstarne1 I really like the way you mounted the US and H bridges. I think it's only a small matter of time before your shop will be squeegee clean.
Thanks, I may need to relocate the battery or h bridges tonight so the ultrasonic can turn without anything getting in the way. White is OK but I'm considering a color that's pretty and blends in better since its an appliance.
It was a perfect day to give your little robot independent movement. July 4th!
I bet it was a good feeling to see him move around for the first time after all this time and your hard work. He looks great! I can see myself building one of these. I hate mopping.
Well done! Cant wait to see him move around with the bugs worked out.
