  • I built the world’s fastest Roomba! After finding that the few fast Roombas online weren't exactly the real deal, I decided to build my own. @Make Cool Stuff did build the real deal and that was the benchmark that I set out to beat. I used a 10 year old iRobot Roomba 630 and added some high tech motors, electronics and radio control gear to bring it all to life. I CAD designed and 3D printed parts in @3Dfillies PLA and PETG to fit all of the gear to the Roomba. It turned out to be a handful to drive, but very fast and a lot of fun.

      Just had an idea. Would be nice if Roomba had a camera and a sentry mode while your out. Plus the ability to “take over” control from the auto computer to drive with a phone so you could check your house out when away. Other idea. Linear actuator to lift front combined with tank tracks to climb stairs.

    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!

      Would collect all kinds of crap and potentially jam if not clean surface, but there is ways around it, just that those demand space. I would probably attempt on instead of that build in servo the adjust the angle of the wheel based on gyro values as kinda thrust vectoring in a plane steering type of thing, but it should be lightning fast to response and have more weight on the wheel, so it can self correct chance of direction when no input is given and maybe adjust those steering values based on its speed so it steers less in higher speeds.

    I agree with Maker-Mindset, a suspension system of some sort should help with the impact problems. I also think a small gyro in the steering control would help with avoiding collisions in the first place. It would need to be as close as possible to the centerline of the Roomba, and would take some tuning to get it working right.

    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

    Some form of a suspension system can help a lot with the harmonic bouncing that is likely the culprit in breaking the wheels.
    Also, i think with this design i would implement spherical tires as method to prevent the wheelie. These dont force the roomba foreward like a cylindrical wheel does. I'd also make sure that the chambers that these spherical wheels are placed in have suspension too.

    Really impressive job m8!
    Some thoughts that may help you develop it!
    You're dealing with high speeds, considering the project size. So, if you want to go faster, you should try to add some weight to it. That will provide more grip to the rubber wheels. Or (but I don't think it's worth because again, the project size is small) try to improve down force or reduce air resistance as much as possible.
    Also, the wheels. Try using a softer material, that is shaped like a proper rubber tire, hollow inside. The rubber tire plays a big part of the suspension system in modern vehicles, and considering that you're using electric motors, that transmit power and accelerate without delay at all, a subtle force is transmitted directly to the wheels, that may or may not be too of a suddenly for stiff rubber... Thats why top dragsters have soft tires... so, it's a good ideia to avoid losing grip.
    Another important thing is that the project doesn't have any kind of shock absorbers, like suspensions or dumpers. So what happens is that all the reaction forces that hit the wheels are directly transmitted to the chassi itself... And considering that you added a lot of 3d printe parts, all this undamped energy will damage these 3d printed parts.
    That being said, adding a suspension and the arms mechanism will definitely raise the overall height of the project, something that we don't want... For this reason you should also redesign the power train itself. The current system connect the motor to a planetary gearbox set and a wheel, all in the same line/plane. Keep the current location of the motors and the misalignment created by the new suspension mechanism and the wheels can be corrected using a dual universal joint. Kinda like in this image: images.app.goo.gl/wdp5oSmsmAtZTY15A
    Also, if you're ideia is literally "make the fastest vacuum cleaner robot of all time" because fuck it, let's put this thing in the Guinness world records because YES, power delivery should skyrocket m8... Drain the batteries in seconds if possible, delivering the maximum energy possible to the engines for the maximum nominal RPM possible (before the motor blows itself)...
    Keep going!

    Alister this is AMAZING! How did you do all those sweet looking colored light flares? I saw some on the 3-roomba battle and some on the lipo foil label. I hope everyone appreciates just how much time he put into making this video so entertaining and visually stunning. Great background music too. Subscribed and can't wait to see what you do next!

    I think machined billet wheels would help handling and durability due to the added weight. Also have u thought about using a gyro to stabilise it? Some Rc drifters use them as a kinda cheat to maintain slides. Also maybe worth concidering a 2-1 ratio gbox for less torque so less wheel spin with the 4s lipo. I love odd ball things like this.

    AndyMark makes amazing products. I used them for the years I was on a FIRST Robotics team, as well as for the years after that I mentored. Always high quality, amazing customer support, and they're always innovating to make new and better products. If you ever get the chance to meet their staff, they're all wonderful people who are passionate about their products as well as helping kids explore the STEM fields.

    could try 3d printing stainless steel wheels from JLC PCB. That thing is fast.

    • @electrosync

      That would be a great test! The forces are definitely too much for the positive offset rim design and plastic FDM printing.

    • @infiniteoffset
      @infiniteoffset Год назад +1

      I'm not at expert on this, but looking at JLCPCB metal printing prices I think that it would be better to just have them machined out of aluminium block. Also while broken wheels are annoying, the drivetrain does have to have some weak point where it will break in case of impact, otherwise the plastic roomba body will break.

    As a lifelong rc enthusiast and mechanic I’ve found this very entertaining! and I’ve got some suggestions, for the wheels and tyres how about 1/8th scale buggy tyres or some bsr foam or even Traxxas xo1 wheels,and how about a gyro for stability a combination of gyro location and tuning along with center of gravity adjustment should see it dead straight but the biggest gains will be in a semi pneumatic tyres or Eva or hypalon foam giving it some suspension keep the chassis rigid and simple suspension could work but adding suspension with huge unsprung mass would not handle as well as just tyres with give

    this is my first time seeing your channel so i dont know if youve implemented it before, but using a gyroscopic stabilising ecu should help keep it going in the right direction, and adding ribs inside the wheel for bracing so long as you have room.

    • @usmanejazz4797
      @usmanejazz4797 Год назад

      Gyroscope stabilization isn't always the best, in somecases, (70+ kph), it adds unstable woble. But it's a good suggestion.

    • @Metallica4Life1995

      @@usmanejazz4797 that's what PIDs are for. Also most modern ECUs can adjust the stabilization down as the speed goes up.

    If you want some flat metal parts, my favorite way of going about it is buying the raw sheet/plate metal, 3d printing a guide, bolting the guide to the metal and using an angle and die grinder to cut off the excess. You can drill one hole freehand, bolt the 3dp part through that hole, use it to pilot a second one and it's fully constrained with an additional bolt.

    @brisingrxm6022 Год назад +4

    I think some toe-in and a basic suspension would dramatically improve the straight line stability if you can work it into the chassis. Also, try two wheelie wheels spaced apart with a hair of toe-in as well.

    @reverse_engineered Год назад +1

    I built a combat robot with a similar shape and speed to what you are using (scaled down). One thing that really helped with handling was adding in a heading control. I used a micro drone flight control board that had an onboard gyroscope. I wrote some simple software to read the amount of yaw commanded by the RC receiver and compare that to the amount of yaw measured by the gyroscope, and with a basic PID controller, adjust the difference in power to the left and right wheels to try to keep the measured yaw equal to the commanded yaw. It worked great for high speed attacks on uneven surfaces with an imperfect chassis.
    Another thing that might help is torque control. By limiting how quickly the power to the motors can rise, you limit the amount of torque supplied to the wheels, avoiding slip that would cause you to lose control. This also limits your rate of acceleration, but you're aiming for top speed, not a quarter mile time.

    You could try adjusting the infill pattern and amount to try strengthening the wheels against the lateral and jolt forces that keep breaking them. Maybe replace the solid wheel with more of a compliant mechanism able to absorb more of the impacts as a spring.

Would be pretty cool. Look up kirby sanitronic vacuume those are the super old style ones. Or actually could you make like a super powered vacuume that like sucks up everything. I always wanted to put a crazy powerful mottor in one of my kirbys to like tripple it's suction 😆

    If you put an accelerometer horizontally across the Roomba and coupled it to motor controls, you could get some rudimentary stabilization, fixing some handling problems.
