    Nice work for what you've shown. Unfortunately, you haven't shown it working, other than someone pushing a wad of paper under the robot, wherein the robot makes it shake a bit. I have to agree with jfeord14, we need to see it in action. Hope you get a chance to post a new video on YouTube. I'd love to see RoboMaid operated by a driver.

    That is a very cool robot. I would recommend that you switch the physical button pressing with a transistor. This way you would make the robot more efficient. Other than that good job.
