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.

Hey Josh, what if you moved the sprayer nozzle further around toward the front of the bot? The natural curve of the bot should help to direct the water flow. Also, maybe you can find more of a misting nozzle so you don't use quite as much water. Just some thoughts. But it is looking soooo cool.
Ok I added the external fill cap from another milk jug I had...
I sealed the seams of the tank with epoxy and filled it up. Im now going to give it a overnight test with hot water to make sure there are no leaks and the new fill cap is water tight. I did find one hiccup.... the windshield washer nozzle broke while doing the last test and nozzle fell out... wow how cheap. Ill buy a new set.
12 hrs later great news! The water tank and both water caps are air and water tight..
You can see the water level through the cap..... I am considering making a clear strip that you can see fluid level and also a led inside to backlight it...
Looking really great Josh! You are really flying on this build.
Thanks brett! The second robie jr arrived which I will use to swap gearboxes and I may cast a copy of the front bumper...
Ok new gearboxes and tires are in place! Thats progress kids!
Sprayer mounted dead center . Possibly I may use two sprayers off center but one helps limit the amount of fluid coming out to just one set of nozzles. One nozzle was pointed straight down. Once I adjust that its all good.
