You definitely need suspension to keep the wheels on the ground. Rebound is very important in a drive layout like this because of one wheel has even slightly more traction it careens out of control. You want the wheels to hit small bumps and immediately spring back down into the road. Suspension isn’t just about a smooth ride, rebound is arguably more important!

Some form of a suspension system can help a lot with the harmonic bouncing that is likely the culprit in breaking the wheels. Also, i think with this design i would implement spherical tires as method to prevent the wheelie. These dont force the roomba foreward like a cylindrical wheel does. I'd also make sure that the chambers that these spherical wheels are placed in have suspension too.

4:57 - Self emptying dust bin. All new Roomba's will have this feature. Had me dying with laughter. Cheers.

Imagine you’re going to your local tennis court then seeing a Roomba ripping around like it’s in its own world

I was shure this would be an rc car with the shell of a roomba, but you did an amazing job rebuilding the little sucker!

I agree with Maker-Mindset, a suspension system of some sort should help with the impact problems. I also think a small gyro in the steering control would help with avoiding collisions in the first place. It would need to be as close as possible to the centerline of the Roomba, and would take some tuning to get it working right.

Amazing! I never thought I would see this happen!

Really impressive job m8! Some thoughts that may help you develop it! You're dealing with high speeds, considering the project size. So, if you want to go faster, you should try to add some weight to it. That will provide more grip to the rubber wheels. Or (but I don't think it's worth because again, the project size is small) try to improve down force or reduce air resistance as much as possible. Also, the wheels. Try using a softer material, that is shaped like a proper rubber tire, hollow inside. The rubber tire plays a big part of the suspension system in modern vehicles, and considering that you're using electric motors, that transmit power and accelerate without delay at all, a subtle force is transmitted directly to the wheels, that may or may not be too of a suddenly for stiff rubber... Thats why top dragsters have soft tires... so, it's a good ideia to avoid losing grip. Another important thing is that the project doesn't have any kind of shock absorbers, like suspensions or dumpers. So what happens is that all the reaction forces that hit the wheels are directly transmitted to the chassi itself... And considering that you added a lot of 3d printe parts, all this undamped energy will damage these 3d printed parts. That being said, adding a suspension and the arms mechanism will definitely raise the overall height of the project, something that we don't want... For this reason you should also redesign the power train itself. The current system connect the motor to a planetary gearbox set and a wheel, all in the same line/plane. Keep the current location of the motors and the misalignment created by the new suspension mechanism and the wheels can be corrected using a dual universal joint. Kinda like in this image: images.app.goo.gl/wdp5oSmsmAtZTY15A Also, if you're ideia is literally "make the fastest vacuum cleaner robot of all time" because fuck it, let's put this thing in the Guinness world records because YES, power delivery should skyrocket m8... Drain the batteries in seconds if possible, delivering the maximum energy possible to the engines for the maximum nominal RPM possible (before the motor blows itself)... Keep going!

I'm not at expert on this, but looking at JLCPCB metal printing prices I think that it would be better to just have them machined out of aluminium block. Also while broken wheels are annoying, the drivetrain does have to have some weak point where it will break in case of impact, otherwise the plastic roomba body will break.

I think machined billet wheels would help handling and durability due to the added weight. Also have u thought about using a gyro to stabilise it? Some Rc drifters use them as a kinda cheat to maintain slides. Also maybe worth concidering a 2-1 ratio gbox for less torque so less wheel spin with the 4s lipo. I love odd ball things like this.

Never thought a roomba would be racing

People are crazy but you are not crazy, You are genius.

I built a combat robot with a similar shape and speed to what you are using (scaled down). One thing that really helped with handling was adding in a heading control. I used a micro drone flight control board that had an onboard gyroscope. I wrote some simple software to read the amount of yaw commanded by the RC receiver and compare that to the amount of yaw measured by the gyroscope, and with a basic PID controller, adjust the difference in power to the left and right wheels to try to keep the measured yaw equal to the commanded yaw. It worked great for high speed attacks on uneven surfaces with an imperfect chassis. Another thing that might help is torque control. By limiting how quickly the power to the motors can rise, you limit the amount of torque supplied to the wheels, avoiding slip that would cause you to lose control. This also limits your rate of acceleration, but you're aiming for top speed, not a quarter mile time.
