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.

I filled the holes and wet sanded the front of the torso.... now all the painted parts of the robot are in the oven for an hour.
I did a test fit and found the battery is in plain view so I painted the bottom half to help clean up the look.
Squeegee is together for the first time! I will need to replace ti base but no problem because I bought the spare robie jr. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5W6Cgve3yE&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Because I cut up the base so much and reglued it , the base warped a bit. I will cut the battery box off the spare and move the caster bearing over so it is a farely simple fix.
I brought him to work to brain storm how to connect a sponge to tohe bottom and the microfiber cloth.
He looks awesome Josh! What about velcro for the sponge?
Because so far ive used velcro for everything else right? Lol the hard part would be sewing the velcro pad to the spong and shammy which I would sew by hand. Im considering gluing magnets inside the base and the shammy and let magnets do their thing.
Ooooh tiny idea here but I have 4 unused roomba brush motors and gearboxs. Maybe I could install one or two and just put the brush mounting screw through a washer and screw it directly to the gearbox. Then maybe it would having a spinning / scrubbing action.
