it sounds and looks like its using a roomba for its mobility.

how long can it run without being charged ?

[jamesbruton]

The 914 is a robot in it's own right, built around standard PC parts - so those are standard 5.25" drive bays in it's back and front (8 in total). It contains a mini-itx board, hard disk etc, and runs Windows or Linux. It will run for 4 hours of mixed usage on a full charge, although you could potentially increase the battery capacity if you filled up some of that drive bay space with batteries instead of CD ROM drives etc.

Sounds like an old printer when it moves around.

Back in 1984 Heathkit Hero Jr. Did the same thing.
