Ya true that 700.00 for a new Roomba forget about it, The Chinese versions though are only about 250.00 and can map rooms in memory,better than shark? Not sure but I may buy one for Christmas to see.

I’d love to see anything dealing with navigation. Like the Neato lidar and or the realsense camera. I’d really like robots to map rooms and avoid obstacles and wall.

I would like to see a hack on the PixyCam2 making it wireless

or the :

and the Intel RealSense Depth Camera D455

RealSense Depth Camera would be my choice. As i said almost 2 years ago, i think it is the way to go in robot navigation. Its low price, free sdk and an almost one in all solution makes it THE choice for personal diy robots. For example the included IMU makes the use of encoders unnecessary for SLAM.

Botvac lidar hack would interest me too!

I would vote for lidar or something with navigation. Try to keep it low cost and let us know far enough in advance so we can divert some Christmas money if needed.

Just checking if anything tonight? Just bought and downloaded the new starwars Squadrons as it was today 40 percent discount with graphics that are just mind blowing.Although still want to see a good hack if anything going on.

I am on Star Wars Squadrons, lets meet up...

For a life hack I would also be up for anything indoor navigation related, I always wanted to build a little tracked robot to explore my appartement!!
