Today we make a Star Wars Roomba Cover, because you know, if you are going to have a droid that cleans the floor it may as well look like a droid from our favorite universe right?

I have a few of these as well and have always wanted to do something similar. Having had them running for a few years though, I am not sure it is practical. As you mentioned, they often go under things (which is great for getting dust bunnies) but without an extension for the bumper, the Roomba doesn't know it is that tall and will just smash into things. While this may not seem like a huge deal, the Roomba actually gets going at a decent speed (enough to move furniture) so I suspect there would be damage on wood or the robot parts. The second thing you'll realize if you've had one of these robots for a while is that they love getting stuck. You'll often hear, "Error... I've run over something stupid again." and you have to move it and press the button on top to start it. While the magnets are a good idea to access this, it would have been better to have buttons on the top that can be pressed. You'll also have those days when you just want Roomba to shut up and go home, which also requires a press of a button. All-n-all this looked awesome, but I think it is a project I'll pass on as to me it introduces issues that I don't think would outweigh the cool factor.

Love it. Came out way more sinister then I expected. Very imperial. But still awesome. I want to make a Roomba droid if/when I get a Roomba. But I think I'll go for a friendly looking droid and add a speaker loaded with astromech noises.

This was very cool and inspiring. The only a few major changes I would make. I would be to make the EL wire and the LEDs sound reactive. I would add a soundboard and a speaker so it is truly interactive as it cleans but it would need a voice on and off or a remote (droid caller) so it would not be flashing, beeping, booping, and chirping all the time. I would also add a laser scanner that sweeps the area in front of the droid as it cleans just because that would be so cool. If not a real laser that sweeps back and forth then a Cylon-style scanner eye. And who knows a silver mohawk..... LOL

Dork = Socially inept Nerd = Academic Geek = Enthusiast They're get mixed up because of the bullies of the 80s and 90s using them interchangeably. Plus you can be a combination of two or all three. But they have different meanings. For example I am a Star Wars and a Batman geek, because I'm so enthusiastic about them. I'm a computer nerd because I studied them at college. But I'm a both when it comes to music, because I studied music at college (making me a music nerd) and I love listening to and creating music (making me a music geek). I was also a dork back in primary school (British elementary school) because I was quiet and awkward. But I came out of my shell and became quite social. So I'm no longer a dork.

Love it! I'm trying to figure out how to do mine as well. I have a Neabot cleaner that has the rotating LIDAR on top. Any suggestions on how I should not block the LIDAR ? I was thinking something like half inch or 3/4 inch thin metal supports that are in line with the laser so that they don't block the laser at all. Do you think that would work ? I am also trying to see if I can swap out the sounds on it and replace them with Mo sounds from Wall-E.
