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.

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.

He looks awesome Josh! What about velcro for the sponge?

#127  

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.
