What it does
Use an Android app to tell the Roomba where to go.
How I built it
Java for the Android phone and server. Python script on Raspberry-pi.
Challenges I ran into
Hardware was all new to us so we ran into a lot of issues trying to interface with it.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
We now have a Roomba that can be controlled by an Android app!
What I learned
It is diffiult to get multiple hardware and software systems to consistently cooperate in order to accomplish one task.
