FDM parts were printed on a Creality Ender 3 Pro using 3D Fillies PLA+ and PETG filament with a 0.4 mm nozzle. CAD design was done in Autodesk Fusion 360. Shot on Canon EOS M50, Insta360 One R, Insta360 Go 2 and DJI RSC2. More project info is available at electrosync.com.au/2022/10/10/building-the-worlds-…

The fact you actually did a aerodynamic simulation of a roomba cracked me up xD
-
In my humble opinion, you don't need stronger wheels. What you need are rudimentary suspensions for your Hot Rod Roomba. I believe that new suspensions would also help with the handling problems. A more flashy painting would look good, too! 😉
-
I just imagine you spill something in your house, pull your phone out to mark the spot for the Roomba to clean and then this F1 sounding Roomba comes flying down the hallway taking your feet out from beneath you. This whole idea is just fantastically funny.
-
As an r/c hobbyist, I love seeing things do things they we're meant to do.. I hope you continue this project.
-
Fantastic job! I’m pretty sure the world needs a jet powered roomba, or maybe a nitro powered one
-
This is awesome to see. I am a member of my high school’s robotics team, who is a member of FRC (first robotics competition) and we use all components and suppliers you used, we also use many of your same techniques. This is awesome to see
-
This feels very old school Colin Furze in the best way! Take something stupid, make it stupid fast! Simple and awesome!
-
You definitely need suspension to keep the wheels on the ground. Rebound is very important in a drive layout like this because of one wheel has even slightly more traction it careens out of control. You want the wheels to hit small bumps and immediately spring back down into the road. Suspension isn’t just about a smooth ride, rebound is arguably more important!
-
Amazing. Just imagine how fast it can clean now 😁 Seriously, great project.
-
Awesome seeing FRC parts being used!
-
I love this cute little puck flying down the road, shaking and scraping around. It's awesome.
-
Great job on this, one idea i have for anti wheelie v3 is to basically have it like an old ball mouse, so it can spin around with less resistence and improve the durability of it
-
Thinking about it now, did I make a fast vacuum or a combat robot minus the combat bit? Hmmm, combat robot...
-
The self destruction during the initial test in the shop is violent and hilarious 😂
-
Make a course with bits it has to collect and avoid collecting? That was so fun seeing one of these go flying.
-
Such a silly project. I LOVE it!
-
I would love to some day see a robot vaccum that actually retains some of its robot-ness. So autonomous navigation and at least some pro-forma vacuuming capability.
-
I loved the video, the edit is so clean, a lot of the thought process is explained and we follow your progress through the construction. 9.5/10 (a longer video would have a 10/10)
-
Your nuts! Keep going! A track racing room roomba with instead of a pit stop a cleaning stop! Notes for improvement Survivability - dampen the vibration or upgrade to aluminium or steel mounts Control and grip have your 3d printed wheels just be hubs let the urethane make the rim and the tyre making the rubber both soften the blows to the chassis and provide more grip with more flex But most of all Have fun doing it!
