Meet Squeegee , The Flooring Mopping Robot , Modified Radioshack Robie Jr

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.

Unlike epoxy fiberglass polyester resin will shrink about 1 percent. So pouring this into the area is fine. When it hardens it will have a couple millimeters gap all the way around. I believe I will sand this a bit too. I can use ca glue to adhere it later.

THat looks cool. Where do you get that stuff?

Home depot , lowes , walmart , autoparts store or even boat supply store. Its polyester based for general fiberglass work but you can use it for other small things too. You gotta put liquid hardener in it. Its a liquid version of bondo..
