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

Ok so I used a jigsaw to cut out the grate for the bottom of the chiller section that covers the fan. The plastic is very strong but while drilling I got to close to an edge and chipped it. Drives me nuts but it's fine for now I can always replace it if it bothers me later. I believe I will paint it black though which will make it blend into the bottom. You can see how far I made it on one charge for the drill. I counted 94 holes and there will be more than double this once I'm done. I'm waiting 30 min to get another charge on the drill. The holes are 3/8" so air should flow effortlessly.
Alright this is how far I got on the second charge , looks like it will take two more charges to complete so I won't finish tonight but tommorow the grate will be drilled. Also the space that chipped I'm actually thankful for because it's big enough to get a finger in so I can pull the grate out of the robot. It's too tight fitting to do it any other way. Lucky me! Lol
Oh man, this is gonna be awesome!
Thanks Niek! Nice updated avatar by the way.

@jstarne1 I really appreciate the level of detail and step by step method you use when you post your projects. I always learn a little something.
@antron007- Thankyou for the positive feedback antron , I try to take pics as I go along and more videos than when I first started. I want others to not only appreciate what I did but learn and apply it themselves.
I'm super happy my YouTube channel hit 7000 views this month.
