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

Thanks Robot-doc! I was a little frustrated that afternoon because the swaggin tool just didn't cut the mustard. However the new one already arrived! I couldn't wait to try it and it was perfect!
Ta-da! First try I was able to swagg this tube. So much better than the first tool. Now I can continue the work on this robot.
Nothing like the proper tool for the right result. Nice tool kit.
You are an air conditioning expert,too. Wow! you are knowledgable of many trades. That is good because you never know when you are going to need it.
P.S. If you are interested in that turtlebot, send me an email.
;)
What's your email again?

Josh you're a jack of all trades!
yes the right tools...
looking good.

Alright it's been a couple weeks playing the waiting game. The Roomba Home base and speed charger arrived. With that I also picked up "upgrade motors" for the Roomba in case the current ones don't have the power I need. Basic math tells me they will pull it I just don't want my project to seem like it's struggling. Last major piece I need to continue is a replacement Roomba battery. I may order one today from amazon.
