Mini-Move project

I am really excited about the new Synthiam mapping/nav functions as well as the additions to the Roomba movement panels. I needed a new bot to play with so I am making............"something."

Not quite sure what this will be but I am using an inmoov body printed at .64 scale along with my eyepod design for a head. This is on a new Create 2. I spent a lot of CAD time scaling the inmoov and making sure servos fit and all the functions were preserved. If you scale the inmoov down .64 then the large servos it uses become roughly the size of standard servos, that is why this size was chosen.

Since he is a small inmoov that moves I have named him Mini-Move

I like how the lighting effects gives depth to the eye. Looking good, thanks for taking the time to share progress. Steve S

I agree @Steve S. These are some cool effects. I also love the way the head moves and how he has it in sync with the waist. Very sci-fi looking. Something childhood dreams (or nightmares) are made out of.

Would make a great starwars or Mandalorian robot, send vid to Disney see what they think!

Well now that the roomba has been fitted with brushes my wife thinks she owns it for cleaning. Ugh. So my minimoov needs a place to sit while his base is away at his day job.

OK, I think this is starting to qualify for robotically creepy.
