Go to Post Team spirit is not all about the tools/noise makers. The Tigertrons didn't have any sort of noise makers. Consider other aspects of the award by making signs, mascots, cheers, and how you interact with other teams. - team222badbrad [more]

I just bought a discovery off E-bay to do this! I can't believe I got beat to it!



How are you driving the motors with Victors? Your not using the vex motors are you? Maybe I will be the first with a CMUCAM on a Rumba


Good work I appoint you skillz points.

Sorry Adam, we must have the same mindset... and if I had a CMUCAM layin' around, I'd try that too. Currently I'm planning on puting a webcam on it so we can control it from long distances completely remotely.

and what I did to control the motors was just take out the control boards of the VEX motor modules and resolder the leads from the Roomba to them.

The roomba has a fully documented serial interface that provides access to everything from its motors, to its speakers. The todbot blog has many examples hacked roombas, including a trio of roombas Christmas caroling
