Fellow robot experimenters,
I have been asked by many of you if I could find a Robot Vacuum cleaner...

DUSTBOT is now available for US$14.99 plus $5 shipping and handling, I
have ten of them in stock right now and can get more. It is a very good
design that could be scaled up if anyone wants to build a larger version
from this example.  It has sensors in the wheels that detect cliff edge,
and steer it away from danger.  It has a stall/torque sensing for obsticle
avoidance. Battery operated,  I can sell you rechargable batteries for it too.
