Yep, laundry bot 2000 does mine. Evan's bugging me for a front loading washer so the last step can be taken out. Each room has a colored basket, laundry bot is programmed to collect a basket, go to the garage door (I refuse to install dutch doors in a rential), go down a ramp, load the washer, turn it on. wait. manuial step is loading dryer, if i had a front loader it wouldn't be needed. then bot picks up the dried clothes, into basket and returns the basket to the room it came from.
We tried to figure out a way to make it do a load in the washer and one in the drier from 2 rooms, but that was a bit too much for it's processors.
Who did the codeing!!!!!!!!!!!!! And what program does it use? If i rember right it uses a lego robot processor right?
ETA:
Your boys could be rich i would sooo look into patending that
Evan did it with a little bit of help from dad. It's a hacked lego mindstorm kit and a shop dog (the roomba designed for garages) that they boys found on
ebay used. Since none of the tech is properitary only way to make cash off it is to sell the program, and expect others to chop a lego and a roomba together (if you don't have them used, that's a $300-400 drop right there).
That's what scored him 2 weeks scholarship to space robotics camp, this year he's doing the first robotics chalenge with a local group of homeschooled kids.
