Comment on The store that sells them is not dumb enough to use them

I’ve seen 3D printer files for the case. What else do you need besides some wheels, some circuitry, a battery, some lidar or ultrasonic rangefinders, a microcontroller, and some code?
Doesn’t seem too difficult if you know how to solder and can find instructions. The hardest part would be programming it, but if the code already exists…

I found this: github.com/alvitawa/stofzuigerrobot
but it’s a 7 years old unmantained project
I also found out about oomwoo
github.com/makerspet/oomwoo
Some people say that it’s made with AI or smth so be aware (and it’s not even complete yet)

I want one but with a frame like R2D2, and it will communicate through a series of beeps and boops. Maybe binary or ternary except the bits are determined by tonality, with modulation to express emotion. And maybe little extendible arms that can fix space ships and hack battle stations and zap enemies and
