Yes! I love this little thing. I'm really looking foreword to seeing this. Are you going to paint it with the worn and dirty look or factory fresh look? Personally I like the battered look. Any new or improved ideas on what you'll be having it do other then just run around the house avoiding things?
Hey Zap! , I am newer to 3d design so I will do my best, but I really want to go all out with details and even improvements over the original prop. The prop was a small RC car and not much room for anything. Thanks to ez robots v4 small footprint we will have more options. As for function , I don't know. What do you want yours to do? Maybe a decorative flashy bot that is a decoration that moves every once in a while? Maybe it moves, but "likes" a particular area? I really was thinking of taking one to DragonCon and see how many people will take pics with it. Also , a roomba is perfectly round and really too big to serve as a base. That doesn't mean roomba wheels and motors would not be useful though.
Well, I was thinking if it was on a Roomba base it could just wander around like a Roomba. But if it won't fit on the full base maybe the Roomba motors and wheels can be used to make it do similar things.
It actually might fit the guts of a roomba the base of the drds on the show had a base of about 14"x10". While a roomba is 13" in diameter the guts are just over 9". So with scans of the roomba guts we could conceivably engineer a shell for a Roomba. My printer can print a 1:1 scale drd shell as one piece. So if we can get a model I can print out shells for all of us.
I really like the center pop up light cylinder

I'm glad this is getting resurrected.
Is this a good model to use with EZB and is this a good price?

I found this pair of flexible reading lights that seem like they would work out nicely on a DRD
