Thank you! This is exactly the situation I have. I appreciate seeing the whole prototyping process and the investigation of different slopes. I don’t have quite as much space, so may try something closer to 20 deg.

This is so much fun. Little known fact, vacuum robots are cute 😂

This is worth the money🌼 my favorite household item by far. I only wish I had purchased it sooner!

This is just what I was wanting to know...shopping for i7...good job on the video! Thanks.

Perfect. I built a ramp last week, but this was a much simpler solution then what I did. 👍🏽

Will try to build something similar for one step. Thanks and greetings from Germany!

Exactly what I was looking for! I'll try to replicate this for my Roborock S5, on a single step stair. Thanks!

That is awesome!! I need one for a single step for my Neato D7

Thanks for this! Do your vacuums actually use the ramp when they are “doing their job” now? I have a single step from my great room into the rest of my main floor and I’m trying to figure out which Robot Vacuum to buy and how to get around that step and not have to pick up the vacuum because I keep seeing you aren’t supposed to pick them up but it would be really annoying to only be able to use it in one room when it’s still technically all the same main floor of the house just separated by one step. I was like “oh I wonder if they could do a ramp!” And your video is the only one I could find with roombas and ramps.

Perhaps carpeting the ramp (e.g. with office carpet tiles) would give the robots more grip and allow a greater angle.

You should get commission because I may finally get a Roomba now

Thank you for this video. I have a single step i need my 6i to navigate and i plan to use this video for that. I will update comments with my results. again thank you

My cats LOVE the ramp, so ironically, the ramp needs the most vacuuming ... hahahaha.

Very well done Jason. Thank you. I too have an i7+

Cool idea !

So far so good with this vacuum. kzfaq.infoUgkx8ISPQRRAfpAaX4msGjyodObTBnlj4T5g I was a little concerned to find it seems to be all plastic, but the reviews were good, so I'm hoping for the best. Very easy to assemble Recommened, and only attachments I've used so far work well, and are easy to use. Doing a good job on the new carpet in my bedrooms and stairs. Works well on the hardwood on my main floor too. Reasonable weight and cord length. I already knew from an earlier review that it wouldn't fit under furniture, but I can use my Eufy for that, so no problem - the high traffic areas that need a stronger suction was really what I bought this for. If it continues as it's started, it will be a good buy and well worth the money. I have had two Shark Rocket stick vacs in the past that are super easy to use, but the motors just don't last well, even with scrupulous cleaning of the filters. I'm hoping for better with this Bissell.

Great idea. But will it go back up an already cleaned surface?

good idea!

Amazing

Great advice

How wide is your ramp path? Why did you choose to construct it wider than the max width of the vac? Would it not go straight down otherwise? Just curious if you found that it needs wiggle room to maneuver properly.

How does the i7 handle mapping this? Does it get confused when under the ramp?

Curious - test #2 looked okay at 20º on cardboard, why did you end up opting for 10º?

Interesting. I am about to make a ramp for one stair. It occurred to me that a thin carpet runner material would increase friction. Also, are the edges necessary? It shouldn’t fall off anyway.

cool vid

That is kind of cool😎🥶

iRobot should really make a official ramp that the roomba can detect easier.

I made a ramp for the Samsung Jetbot, it will go down but not up. The ramp is 12.5 degrees.. is there a solution to tune the tilt sensors or adjust the software?

How did u get the end of the ramp that it didn’t get hung up on. It’s smooth to the floor?

the floors are clean now there is a giant Ramp in your house

Did you actually keep this in your house?

Very interesting. Its too bad I can't build one of these for a full flight of stairs.

Next evolution of these things will have to include legs.

My J7+ (two months old) has stopped avoiding things and no longer shows me obstacle photos. I have gone to the map and reset obstacle sensing with no luck so I did a factory reset with no luck. It's like the camera is not working. Do you have any ideas I can try?

Nice

I was wondering if this was going to be possible. In the past I’ve always had to physically lift and move them the 2 steps up and down my main floor. Family Room 2 steps down on East side, Living Room 2 steps down on west side. Now I’ll try building 2 ramps and see?? Thanks 😊

How wide is it?

Can’t you pick it up to put on next flight?

oh wow

Now you need to make a ramp for two flights of stairs.

Roomba i7: Too smart... Roomba 650: Not smart enough...

@t - High quality ramps made for vacuum cleaners

maybe put carpet on the ramp more traction for it to climb

It was on the first floor and one to go to the second floor how would you do that genius

How long is your ramp?

Why not just use the two on different floors?

I just got a shark and want to try to build something like this for it.

i love how the roomba is trying to find every single way to not cooperate with the video lol

How about a ramp for the other stairs

I tried this a year ago, but it didn’t really work. The Roomba fell onto the ground and broke.

Almost like Error 9

maybe just build a little elevator instead? xD just kidding, very cool :)

OMG. I love this video. I am working on my dissertation discussing robots and the environment. Your video is a wonderful case for my reseach! I would love to put this case in my dissertation if you grant me permission.

would roomba 980 handle this? nice video.

why build a ramp if you have 2 roombas?

1:06 that is not a 950. What do u mean

That roomba 650 is a random navigation robot

My 960 just gets upset and goes to its dock

Lol “robot torture”

ramp for the robots slip n slide for humans

The 650 is so dumb. I wish we had done more research before buying it. My house is too big for its baby robo brain.

Defect....couldn't fix

Roomba vídeos kill me

ふ

Weeeeeee

Romba 650 Bad Roomba i7 Good Robot

Now make something so that the braava doesn't get stuck on fucking 3mm floor transitions. ffs this bot is inept

Trdw

Con todo el respeto,como se suele decir están los bobos y luego vas tú

Amazing
