Some questions about the Turtlebot & the Create irobot
Question, can I use a different iRobot then the create to make a turtlebot,I've found a few of the irobot vacuums that are reasonable in cost. or is it just better to buy a Create?
The 2nd question would be, if another iRobot will work, is it better to "play" with it without adding the Kinect sensor at 1st, to get a feel how the robot is different, or does that matter any at all. I have most of the parts that are used for the Turtlebot now, I am missing a iRobot (which is probably the most important thing :-) ) But have the kinect, and an aspire one I can use for this project.
Money's tight, so doing this as cheap as possible is going to be the key for me. And this will be the 1st time I've used ROS, but from what I've read/seen this is what I want to use for my robotic projects.
Thanks for the help.
