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.

Glued in the topper insert that the cam will eventually mount to.
Wow, that sprayer works great! Have you figured out how much run time you will have on 1 tank?
I will test constant run time before I go to bed. My idea is to pulse on and off the pump to save water though. I fitted the head with the ez cam and made a video. Lol had a tiny accident.

Water tank duration test - I ran two nozzles full blast at 6 volts to the pump and it maintained a steady stream for more than five minutes continuously. If I use pwm to slow down the pump or pulse it on and off I should have plenty of water to mop with. Best part is the pump is silent!.
Servo successfully installes with 4 screwsLOL... best line... "Robot seizure" then crash
