Hello EZ Robot! Meet Dusty, he is a omnibot torso and I currently have the choice of robbie at head or a omnibot done where you can see inside. He will handle a few basic functions and us made more simple than his big brother Jarvis.
- He can vacuum (which is loud) with power brush and impeller
- He can "sweep" nearly silent by running the power brush at a reduced voltage and a small DC blower providing low level auction. 3.dusty will have two germicidal bulbs ,.one facing downward to the floor and another behind intake fans that not only cool electronics but it pulls air through a Honeywell two stage carbon filter. 4.dusty has 4 build in filters foam pre filter , and 3 carbon filters.
- He will have a camera on pan tilt bracket. He will be controlled by Bluetooth or wifi.
- Long runtime , 2 x 12v 7ah batteries.
Any other suggestions guys?

THAT will be hard no linux YET,i ask about it too using ROS i have 914 bot made by whitebox,its a great robot,so far i have over 70 robots and just added 5 more comming in
Thankyou hero! The Dusty robot was a happy and unplanned accident. But where there are unplanned projects there are no unwanted robots.

That is awesome. I cannot get ROS unfortunately, The program is not available, the Whitebox site is not really functional anymore (even the forum is shutdown) (. I am going to build mine like an RB5X, I talked to the owner of Whitebox in Canada 3 weeks ago, and he said I could have the body panels made for $3000, But that is insane, and they look like a Japanese car or something. I like the older cool type of look from the 80's myself.
This vacuum bot for example on this thread has a nice functional look. I cannot wait to see this this at work!
DUSTY looks like a good build if he ever gets done with it Check out his JARVIS it anoher good build he started on one i am getting is robokind by hanson ZENO version,its a high for most robot builders but for me its easy to buy it
Hey Josh, I had an idea for tracks on Dusty. What if you took a pair of the drive wheels from your donor bot and added those to the front of dusty? That way all 3 wheels on each side would be slotted for treads. Then maybe you could find a drive belt that would fit (or make one) and would wrap around all three. Add larger motors and you would have a powerful tracked bot with two wheels actually driving the belt on each side.
BRET hows your B9 ROBOT comming along havent heard much about it
Ok dusty is getting his vacuum backpack tommorow but one thing I have not planned is how to mount the UV sterilization will be mounted. Two things I want. First I want the vacuum exhuast to pass through a uv sterilizer. Also I want a light directly aimed to the floor so when vacuuming the surface area of the floor gets sanitized as well. Lastly IwI want a bright "spotlight" which primarily will be used to aim directly up at the ceiling but could also point it at things that need sterilization.
Squeegee- I learned a bit about liquid containment and spray control. I found that very easily a swiffer or microfiber pad can be velcro right behind the vacuum so dusty can do similar cleaning to squeegee though not specialized for wet work.
These are the uv tubes im thinking of using http://www.ebay.com/itm/321031585627?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Then maybe I could use one or two bulbs for the bright directional light.

Happy New Year!
