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.

Yes I may spray the inside with liquid rubber sealer.
I think that's a good idea.
Tiny update - I recieved the goody box from brett that had the blower fan from s cpu cooling setup in it and I also recieved the pump. Its soo tiny!
Ok the stock gearbox works but one box makes lots of racket. Like grinding rocks but visually the gears look fine. So I found another robie and its on its way. It was just 26 dollars.
Besides the spare robot im waiting for I am also waiting on tubing and the windshield washer nozzles I will use to spray mopping solution. They will arrive Nov 9. However I can finish up the water tank since the pump arrived today
6V pump test fit. I also tested pump speed and it has much more that I need so I may reduce the voltage or add a restrictor to slow down the amount of water. Without restriction this pump would empty squeegees entire tank within 30 seconds.
Ok i have been doing some testing on the blowers for some reason I couldnt get the dc blower to work without pulsing the power. I couldnt get it to as well as I thought.. weird? So I picked up a dc blower from radioshack with the same specs and hooked it up to 6 volts. It worked much better but I felt like it might not be enough to dry a floor. I then tried the blower with 12v and. Wow what a difference! It really moved some air. Because of this I came up with the idea to jump the voltage up from 6v battery supply to 14 to 16 volts so that it has plenty of gusto to clean the floor. Here's the pic of the two blowers tried and test fits into the base between the gearboxes.
I must have ordered enough power sonic batteries to get a discount code , the code is in the picture.
