New Upcoming Project!

Introducing Stabby the Space Roomba!

The idea of Stabby the Space Roomba has been going around Tumblr for a long while, and about two years ago we decided to made this little guy out of a broken 1st Gen Roomba. There won’t be a long post about his creation because it basically consisted of forcefully ripping out the vacuum parts and screwing a rc car on in their place. 

We are excited to begin our process of upgrading him to a walking, talking, stabbing, controllable Roomba! Progress updates will be done the same way Wheatley’s were, so stay tuned to hear about Stabby’s progress!

Note: Please don’t use real knives on your Stabbys; that’s dangerous. Real knife is for photo purposes only because we temporarily lost his plastic one.

I was bored and decided to make a thing. I like to create these things for teams I make, so here’s one for Team Despair! I’m still not sure if I should include a female symbol on Airy... Airy is female, but Celebi is genderless. Maybe I should. I’m not planning on actually breeding this team or anything.

6th gen sprites obtained from the Smogon forums. They have projects going to create sprites for both 6th and 7th gen pogeymans over there, which is neat. I think it’s just so they can use them in some battle simulator, but still neat.

Stabby the Roomba Project Plan

These are the current ideas for Stabby the Roomba. Some of his ideas deviate a bit from the original internet concept of Stabby, but his ‘normal’ setting will stay true to that image. However we proudly enjoy looking at something and going ‘but what else can we make it do’ and so Stabby will hopefully be able to do all of the following:

Speed:  Top speed of about 4.5MPH, faster than a good walking speed.  A bit like the following:  https://www.roboticsbusinessreview.com/rbr/hacked_roomba_is_the_worlds_fastest_robot_vacuum/

Voice:  Four selectable options

Mute – the basic Roomba that does not complain

Talkative – Complains when it hits something, but G/PG

Pissed – Progressively get more pissed off every time it hits something.  See video:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvz3LRK263E

Hunter/Killer mode – plays the theme from Jaws

Lights:  Fully selectable lights under the outside edge of the Roomba.  These would change with the voice options

Mute – Either no light or a nice cool blue or green

Talkative – Blue to White as he runs into things

Pissed – Blue or White progressing to pulsing Red as he hits more and more objects.

Pulsing red like a heartbeat

We may able able to color code the little battery light on top to indicate mode

Control:  Remote control using a Wiimote with nun-chuck

Joystick - Speed and direction

Button C - On nun-chuck, Voice without hitting anything

Button Z -  On nun-chuck, selects Voice & Lights mode (1, 2,  3 or 4)

Button C+Z - Would make him shake back and forth or spin in a tight circle at high speed

+/- on Wiimote - Volume

Blue Leds on Wiimote -Indicate which mode Stabby is in (1,2,3, or 4)

When Stabby hits something he will stop and turn 45 – 90 degrees. We may want a standard mode when he keeps moving slowly until overridden by the joystick.

Needed parts:

Pi Zero 

Arcade Bonnet (to interface bumper sensors)

Two 600 RPM motors and mounts

Two 2.5” skateboard style wheels

 Motor controller

4 cell LiPo battery (14.2v)

Audio Amp & Speaker

Strip of side light NeoPixel LED’s or 5 to 6 -  3 watt pixie LED’s.
