A question for all of you fantastic robotics enthusiasts out there:
I have to do a final year project next year, and I'm getting a head start on
designing it. I've been told that I can do pretty much what I like with a

Currently I'm only looking at an ultrasonic ranging sensor, but I want to
have more. My idea is a wheeled robot which can navigate around engineering
building unassisted, possibly vacuuming, xferring messages and the like. I
really can't go drawing lines or running wires etc...
Any suggestions?
thanks
Adam
