I just got this little gem today, bought from ebay for $29.77 shipped:) Its an original Radio Shack Robie from 1984, clean with a unscathed dome:) Not even the talking one either, this lil guy has two functions: forward and turn in reverse, the arms are just for show...and I didn't get a controller with it. So, he's a blank canvas
The idea I have is to mount him on a roomba to house the ez-b and a camera, build a couple of arms and have myself a retro looking cleaning robot with an attitude lol
Damn, this thing is small; I have a Nintendo R.O.B. that I converted to R/C with a C6C 6 channel controller, and Robie is smaller than that. Stay tuned, this oughta be fun

THAT ws a high price to pay for a roomba ,but aleast you got one,i could easy sell you one of mine for less then $30 with shipping
but the video looks great
He's so cool! I love him!
Your selling functional roombas for 30 bucks?
Whoa, I'm gonna assume you're talking to robotmaker lol. I bought my first one on ebay for $40. Since then,I've found 3 at the goodwill in seattle for$30 each. Of course they have bad batteries and no charger. Now I have two 400's , a first gen roomba pro, and a roomba pro elite. They all had the same problem, they just needed cleaned lol...but I'm not selling any of mine lol
YES JOSH,but depends on what you wanted extra ,like a deck mount,or second battery upgrade with charger design or upgrade motor with double the torque ,i have 50 4200 series roomba's right now 12 inch round deck is from zagros about $10 i mounted it for $12.50 total
Baby steps here. I added pan and tilt to my camera and added a light. I have the personality generator running to give him random head movements. I also set up a couple scripts so now the personality generator is paused whenever tracking is acquired. Lovin this new software update:-)
Ha ha ha. , I happened to watch you video while visiting my mother. She said she liked your robot riding the other , Yeehaw!
This is one cool little bot!
