World's Fastest Roomba Gets Upgrades

A little while ago I modified an iRobot Roomba 630 into a high speed radio controlled vehicle. It was fun and fast, but there were quite a few design flaws that made it difficult to drive. In this video, I'm fixing up some of those issues by 3D printing stronger parts, adding aero and fitting some different electronics. Then I hit the track to see how it performs.

CAD design was done in Fusion 360. Shot on Canon EOS M50, Insta360 Go2 (RIP), Insta360 One R and Sony RX100 V. All parts were printed on a Bambu Lab X1-Carbon using their PAHT-CF filament. More project info is available at electrosync.com.au/2023/08/06...

Honestly, one of the most impressive things about your videos that I've seen so far is that you discard very few parts when refurbishing this roomba. Most videos want to make everything shiny and perfect looking, but there's a rough perfection to having your finished piece be scuffed here and there, more natural looking. Gives me Borderlands weapon vibes.

@skinnyjeanis7177 10 месяцев назад

Since you'll be building a custom chassis for the Vroomba, you might want to move the wheels further forwards to move the balance backwards and rest more on the third wheel. This will also make the splitter scrape less. I think part of your instability is caused by just that- the driven wheels being totally centered with a high speed application. Makes for a lot of room for wobbles. You may not wanna do this if you still want to be able to spin in place, though.

@electrosync 10 месяцев назад

Thanks! Good suggestion, but I doubt it would help. I don’t think it comes across in the videos, but this thing has so much brutal power that it just can’t get to the ground. Plus it’s heavy which works against it. That’s why I’m working towards a light weight Roomba for the next version. It won’t vacuum or be a ‘Roomba’, but I think it will be very fast! Thanks for watching.

I think guniness should give you the world record, they dont appricate the engniners/hobbyiest enough. I have some suggestions for v3, try printing the front arrow/splitter thing out of a tough (98A) tpu or tpe. This will act as a bumper and prevent some damage when you run into things. My second idea is to use drone parts like the flight controler, esc, and motors. This will allow you to have the gyro, wire in a gps directly into the flight controler, allow a fpv camera so you can drive first person, use the esc from it, and use super powerful drone motors. Realy nice project I hope you make it even faster.

@samuelpierce2.088 10 месяцев назад

If you’re planning on building a custom chassis for the Vroomba, I’d suggest looking into using tires that are wider and thicker; they may help absorb more of the impact from the rough tarmac surface and provide significantly better grip. (I’d also suggest looking into trying out different tread patterns for the tires as well; Most R/C vehicles use slick or semi-slick treads that provide better grip on the road surface.)

@electrosync 10 месяцев назад

Good suggestions. I think I'll have more freedom with my own chassis and different drive system (without those massive gearboxes to work around).

I'd also point out that if it no longer performs the primary function of the original device, calling it a "Robot Vacuum" probably won't be accepted by them either.

Amazing additions, I would add a steeper wing angle however, the current wing may be massive, but it doesn't have much angle to increase downforce, if you are going purely for speed though, you might want ground effect thats fan assissted because it would not produce as much drag. These are great to see! Love it!

This reminds me SO much of my Super Fast Traxx toy from Tyco I had as a kid. I had the upgraded (bigger model) that was black with pink highlights just like the Vroomba. I had such a great time with that thing until the tracks started to come apart completely. Previous to that my dad had repaired it with nylon fishing line and a sewing needle several times. Eventually it just got too dry and brittle. That was a sad, sad day for little me.

I think you should make something like a middle mounted wing, centered to the center of mass and relatively high up to get clean air instead of dirty air coming of the roomba, like a Cooper T86B F1 car from 1968. Another suggestion is to use dive planes instead of a splitter, since that could be causing instability in the straight-line runs. Dive planes (again much like the Cooper T86B) reduce drag and add some limited downforce.

At some point there needs to be an RC Roomba Racing series. It'd be neat to get a whole RC club in on this kind of thing, but there needs to be some ground rules on what still has to be stock. (I figure the chassis still has to be able to convert back to the original parts?)

@vanselmeer5347 9 месяцев назад

I imagine, that since it will be defined by "Roomba", it'll at least need to be able to perform the main task of a Roomba, namely being able to vacuum at whatever the top speed might be. Though, I'm not sure at what level of effectiveness the threshold should be, as it's gonna be unrealistic to expect a model tuned for speed to perform as well as a stock Roomba. Or just call it something else than "Roomba", like Guinnes pointed out.

@KeithThedfordII 10 месяцев назад

Very late to the party but the Roomba is a vacuum, do you think there's a way to use its vacuuming abilities to generate downforce? I've seen it in other projects and I think it would be hilariously fitting for a Roomba (my apologies if you wasted your time reading this and it turns out to be downright unfeasible 💀)

@electrosync 10 месяцев назад

It's definitely feasible. It was suggested on the first video. The standard vacuum motor is underpowered and wouldn't be effective, but you could actually add an EDF on the top middle of the Roomba (which has a direct path down to the ground). Add the right skirts, etc. and it would work. Not sure how well though.
