Video Description

I built the world’s fastest Roomba! After finding that the few fast Roombas online weren't exactly the real deal, I decided to build my own. @Make Cool Stuff did build the real deal and that was the benchmark that I set out to beat. I used a 10 year old iRobot Roomba 630 and added some high tech motors, electronics and radio control gear to bring it all to life. I CAD designed and 3D printed parts in @3Dfillies PLA and PETG to fit all of the gear to the Roomba. It turned out to be a handful to drive, but very fast and a lot of fun. *► Join the electrosync team on Patreon to access design files, extra content and more: https://www.patreon.com/electrosync* Thanks to AndyMark Robotics for the great gear and advice they provided: https://www.andymark.com AndyMark 775 RedLine Motor: https://www.andymark.com/products/andymark-775-redline-motor-v2 AndiMark 775 Cooler Motor Heat Sink: https://www.andymark.com/products/775-cooler-motor-heat-sink SPARK MAX Brushless and Brushed DC Motor Controller: https://www.andymark.com/products/spark-max-brushless-and-brushed-dc-motor-controller Other parts used: MAXPlanetary System Kit: https://www.revrobotics.com/rev-21-2100/ Thanks to aoun_animation for the concept animation: https://www.instagram.com/aoun_animation/ Thanks to Seeed Studios for the XIAO ESP32C3: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Seeed-XIAO-ESP32C3-p-5431.html FDM parts were printed on a Creality Ender 3 Pro using 3D Fillies PLA+ and PETG filament with a 0.4 mm nozzle.
