Hello everyone! In this instructable, I'm showing you how to DIY a Vacuum Cleaner RC Robot

Intro

RC Vacuum Cleaner

Not only a Remote Controlled Vacuum Cleaner, it also includes 3D CAD, Programming, Algorithms, Mechanics, PCB CAD and Schematics. You can definitely edit or alter and make it better. All files are here, free to download. I posted some codes as an example and please feel free to play with. So here is the RC Vacuum Cleaner, good luck for making this one.

Problems:

1. Vacuum cleaning is so boring!

2. Traditional Vacuum Cleaners are attached to wall outlets!

3. Wires get tangled up! Such a mess!

Solutions:

1. You can Remote control your Vacuum Cleaner. Let the VC do the work!

2. It is mobile and wireless, once fully charged it works 40 good minutes.

. You can limit noise level by controlling airflow

4. Last but not least, it is so much fun
