This is a challenge issued by friends and family. The goal here is to make a robot that can bring beverages from another area to wherever the people are , allow the person to get their drink , then leave. It does not need to be fully autonomous , even remote control is acceptable. It does not need to grab them from the fridge, preloaded beverages are acceptable. This is Ez Robot though, I believe we could do better than that! Well anyways to start the project off I am using a roomba base. I picked up a stainless steel trash can last night as a outside casing. I will show you the rest as we go

dear friends we are working on (non profitable) agricultural robot to combat desertification in Africa pleas see...
Omg death by truck that's brutal , well maybe you NEED robots to take your mind off stuff.
. Thanks man I have a project I don't always make as many videos as I want but I do take enough time to get things working beyond just being a novelty. I'm so glad I prefermed tests instead of getting this guy rolling around and turned outthe thermocouple elements didn't work. I was super bummed that the Peltiers didn't do this trick but those tests led to much much better things! Soon I will get him moving around I just need to do some measuring and framing to mount the compressor under the bottom. I will sketch some ideas. Oh and I need to get a battery for the Roomba.
I know you can get those batteries on ebay. Is the roomba gonna be able to handle the weight? maybe you want to take all of the innards from the roomba and put them on a custom chassis with bigger motors?
@ Brett very very good point. Since AAMERALIS did some serious upgrade to his designs perhaps he wouldn't mind selling some of the Roomba motors he bought and I make something more custom. You know I'm not afraid to fabricate something lol. Fred says they can handle up to 70 pounds I will find info to source that.
Man that's a tight fit
I build custom packs for the Roomba. They are 4500 mAH packs, email me if your are interested. They ain't cheap though..... e_vickery(at)BellSouth(dot)Net
@Josh That is snug indeed. From the vids you posted it appears those tubes bend pretty well so I think you of all people can pull it off.
@antron. Yes it's a tight fit. I'm going to go shopping for copper tubing today and see if I can find a small radius bender for 1/4" copper tubing to make some tight bends needed to make this fit properly. I am considering a spiral condenser I've seen people do for refrigerators that don't have one on the back.
