This is a simple project that hopefully I wont over complicate. Since he Squeegee needs to get as close to furniture and the toilet and bathtub as possible this my be a challenge. After all we spend most our time trying to get our robots to avoid the objects in the room. Im giving new life to a radioshack robie jr rc controlled robot.

Well all those are is high grit sandpaper wheels and rubbing compound. Those kits are pricy so I think I will just buy the pieces individually I need. I headlight restore kits at walmart were 40 dollars wow these poor customers getting way overcharged.
What about the dome off the other Robie Jr. you have? Or you could cut a slot there for where the camera pans.
Noooo slot cutting thats tacky (no offense ofcourse) I will just fix it the right way. 2000 grit wet sand , buffing compound and polishing compound. Anyways I brought the little guy with me today to work to brain storm how I will mount some stuff and wire things....
Oh yes , wet sanding and polishing at my desk... dedication
And a tolerant employer... that is very nice to have!
Lol long as I get my job done!
Yep, and if you do sales on the phone, then it is either polish or knitting
Ugh ok a few tests and I ive come to the conclusion the dc blower is not an efficient use of power. It would use more than any other motor or pump in the robot . On the bright side this increases runtime and makes the robot more quiet than with the blower running. Not having a blower will also improve the battery and ezb mounting options. I was very upset when I did the tests , but after I sleep it off I will look at the bright side tommorow.
