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.

Yea I couldn't fit a standard servo so it was literally just what I needed. Color? Hmm im really not sure. I love red but it also looks great white. What do you think? I will make a second robie jr robot I believe but im not sure if it will be just like it or not. I may do a different drive system. I really want to buy a rover to do somthing with.
Ok im pretty sure im painting squeegee white tonight using my favorite rattle can brand. Rustoleum. Its 5 dollars a can vs 3 but ive always had a great finish that resisted chipping , peeling , and light scratches. I will do this in a mono color and I believe ill make a vanity cover for the ultrasonic so the paint color matches as well.
Painting begins.... first I had to sand down the water squirters because the finish was horrible.
Sprayer on the left is prepped with 600 grit
I sprayed just the sprayers and dropped them in place to dry a while. I took this pic to show how bright and clean this finish looks over the original white.Dude, you've been busy
Squeegee is looking good, can't wait to see him in action
Yea super busy lol..... more pics
I want things to match. I got the bright idea to paint the case and antenna of ez cam. Once I did that I figured I would paint the servo and ultrasonic too.
I carefully cut circles from tape and covered the grills of the sender and reciever on the ultrasonic rangefinder to protect them. I only sprayed the front which Does not have any open electrical tracings. I would like this robot to be clean and neat as possible.I took the wheels apart and the outside half of the wheels I sanded and sprayed as well.
