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.

Update :
Ok first day on morning shift at my job has left me a bit drowsy but i wanted to make progress. I switched the base out with the spare which fit like a glove with no problems. I cut away the original bumper and modified it for a flushed in cleaner look. I learned this with years of custom cars. The bumper cover now fits tight with no gaps on the edges or the top.
If you take a look a previous pics and videos the base and bumper is poorly aligned. A hour or two of trimming and glue put the bumper and base in the position it should be...... in not having a fit about the base anymore . lol
just like it was made for it...lol
Tiny update: i woke up at 1am and had some ideas to make the front and rear pads and also include a flexible rear squegee as well. Here are several pictures. The pads are made from 4 scotch / 3m sponges , velcro , flexible rubber squeeze blade, microfiber cloth material.
The front is 2 scotch springs with a velcro backing and a stiff white mesh gives a non scratching scrubbing action on the door. The middle is microfiber fingers to catch dust particulate. The rear pad is the same sponge on the front but the front leading edge has a flexible squegee blade. I will cover the rear sponge with a microfiber mesh as well..
That looks awesome!
