Tiny progress update - I picked up pool water pump flexible PVC hose that reminded me of the ext hose on a vacuum , I did a test fit , its very close I would need to make a silicon gasket to seal the connection , this way the power head can replace my rear two dummy wheels and run tubing up to the inlet on the canister in the back of the torso. Hows that sound?

it might work,my sister sells SPA'S and POOLS and i have little like it and looks like it will work i think on my design maybe add the swiffer only,my girlfriend i know will love that one thing i love about tile very easy to clean,but cost way to much when i had it done in every room JOSH you only have carpet or and tiles its lot easy to clean

I have carpet in my bedroom , tile in the kitchen and hardwood in the living room , my bot can keep up the dust bunnies but Jarvis cannot do it all himself. My second bot which is a regular omnibot is the one that will be a helper in cleaning but will not have a full onboard computer just batteries and a EZB.

looks like you will have a very hard time cleaning them,i have carpet in bedroom but only throws rugs where i am walking ,super easy to clean them thinking of wood in some area's but takes alot to have them refinshed and clean them,and tile is much much better with designs,kichen has under tile heaters,so easy to clean and boy does it feel good on bare feet in the morning on cold days cant use heaters under carpet or wood

@Jstarne1 Yeah mine was broken in the same place! What I did was take the same parts from the other arm and it worked.

@ robotmaker: Yeah, must have been me. I keep asking around about arm parts to fix up my robots. You all must know theoldrobots.com (which is NOT my site, BUT I have sent some information and pictures there) and might have seen photos of my collection on there (Michaels Collection). Or maybe you have seen the video on youtube with the Omnibot 2000 with 2 movable arms (which I did a few years ago for a fellow robot collector). Anyway, I am always trying to find parts for my Omnibots. Josh fortunately helped me out with his old Omnibot 2000 circuit board which is now inside my robot here in Germany. Thanks again, Josh for the "organ donation" =) Michael
