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.

Nice work Josh!
Very cool. Post a video!
Sure will! Ive just been so busy shopping and wrapping for the holidays. I will get the little guy moving autonomously and take a video soon..
Extra Robie Jr just arrived! Since squeegee is meant to be dedicated to one room it only makes sense that he will have a sibling. Some parts may be swapped but for this robot I may leave some things like the bumper switch so it may get closer to objects when cleaning. Anyone need a good Robie Jr remote?
Im not sure if I will make another build thread... well see.
Nice Josh...you are a robot man man!
Thankyou sir! The robie jr tires are in rough shape so im casting new ones in blue silicon
It takes 2 -4 hours for a tread to fully cure. I would have matt make me three sets but I cant afford him. So I just gotta do it myself for about 2 dollars a set.
For anyone repeating this on a larger item the thicker / deeper the silicon the longer it takes to cure. 3 to 5mm is 2 to 4 hours. Twice the depth give twice the time. Silicon is soft in comparison to 60 shore rubber so it has plenty of grip even on smooth floors.
In the morning... the first blue tread
I went ahead and filled the mold for a second tire
