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.

Those look really nice Josh, and I love the color. That should be really grippy for those damp floors after he cleans the floors.
Ive found that the rtv silicon is stretchy and grippy. Molding them in the plaster of paris molds gives a smooth yet textured surface. Ive considered making custom tracks for rad base so they would fit tighter, but thats just an idea.
Ive made 4 replacement treads which seem very grippyOk so I wired up the ezb and a hbridge , I tried to use the Movement Panel and no luck. Firmware has been updated and I followed the tutorial video like my life depended on it. At first only the right wheel would turn then nothing at all. Any suggestions? I have been working on the little guy the past couple of hours and its late now so hopefully ill figure somthing out. Anyone think there is somthing different about this hbridge?
Hmmmmm - that's the H-Bridge I use and it works fine for me. But it did take a lot of trial and error to get my motors to do what I wanted - trying to figure out what wire went where and what ports I needed to have for what. I can check MiniB tonight and see how mine is wired up for comparison.
i got mine to work but had a lot of trial and error with that H-Bridge... I converted my robot to esc's and used the servo Movement Panel instead.
Ok im concerned there is somthing wrong with this h bridge that makes it work different. It has a stepper motor option and I believe that may be a problem. I bought 4 more standard l298n controllers without the stepper option and will swap them out.
