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.

Chiefavc's My Recent Projects After Getting My 3 Dev Kits
Pacowang's Delta Vs Quad
So its time to dig out of this winter mess down hear in Obamaland. I put the Quad Scout up until I try out a delta...
Chris9's Jd's Adventures At Microsoft
Our Microsoft team recently picked up a few of the EZ Robot Developer kits as part of an innovation project exercise...
I think I found the pump I want. There are a few reasons it is ideal. First is that it runs on 6 volts , second its very small just a inch wide and third is the pump is submersible so I can mount the pump inside the water tank to save room.
Ok revamping the sketch. Pump is inside the tank and cam readded.Tonight I may start modding the base.
-cut original battery box out -glue battery door in place -cut out the caster -cut out the rear slider and fill with epoxy -slice the damaged tire off
At this time I am considering using 4 continuous servos and 4 of EZ Robots tires to replace to old loud drive system. Lucky me those can also run at 6 volts. Two wheels on each side means the robot no longer is balancing on one wheel on each side. I will update the sketch of more smaller wheels to reflect this idea.
I like the mods. Your goody box is shipping out tomorrow. Box includes: 2 - continuous rotation servos with 2 tires Cooling Fan 2 - HC-SR04 sonar 1- PIR sensor (adjustable range) 2 - TIP120 transistors (for making the switching function on EZ-B Digital Port 1 - 6V LED Battery Monitor 1 - Lazy Susan Bearing (acrylic) some 18ga heat shrink tubing 1 - mini servo 1 - rubber boot 1 - miniature gearhead motor 2 - long shaft dremel bits for shaping/removing
Thank you brett , I will make good use of the parts
Now comes the modding for Robie Junior Rx , I like the dome but not the face. I believe that some changes will really add to this pint size robots personality. First I must remove the face with 8 cuts using a ceramic dremel bit. I marked the areas to cut with marker.
Right after the cuts we must carefully seperate the plastic boogers and clean the cut so the parts separate.
After the boogers were cleaned off which is this pic
The part is great! I carefully removed the original radioshack stickers and fitted the new dome mount.
Cleaned the base up and getting ready to plug some holes with epoxy.
I removed the flaking bad tire of the rim and tommorow I will make a cast of the good one.
