Does this sound feasible?
My wife wants me to make her a laundry and grocery cart that can carry things from the basement to any level (via elevator) and return itself to the garage.
I'm thinking of making a 2 wheel balance bot by modifying a Wowee MIP to operate wheelchair motors that have been thoroughly covered in this forum. I'm thinking about using the EZ builder MIP controller and taking MIP's signal from the wheels and operating a 2x12 Sabertooth for the wheelchair wheels.
Am I overlooking any obstacles?
Thanks much, Bill
I've decided upon a balloon gripper (invented at Cornell about 5 years ago) being that it can grip knobs and almost anything else for that matter. I'm not sure if it can pick up clothes other than shoes.
Here's a balloon gripper darting bullseyes and shooting hoops every time:

Here's the most elegant and light weight balloon gripper build I've found so far. Though others have recommended putting a small piece of cloth over the end of the 1/4" tube to prevent coffee grounds from being sucked into the motor:
Here's the pump and place I bought it:

I've also ordered some of the EZ Robot heavy duty lever servos and extensions for his arms but the store said they won't ship for a month.
Cheers, Bill
Might not be a month. The web site hasn't been updated, but I think all the pre-orders are caught up now, so they are starting to migrate into business as usual.
That balloon gripper is a cool idea.
