Rodeo Simulation – Bull Rider on Spring for robot vacuum / mop

Turn your cleaning routine into a rodeo show!

This project is still a work in progress. Sorry, I haven’t had the chance to fully optimize it yet, but I will provide an updated version as soon as possible.

This 3D printable accessory features a bull rider mounted on a spring, designed to be attached on top of your robot vacuum/mop (Roomba or similar).

As the robot moves forward, spins, and changes direction, the spring makes the rider and bull bounce and sway, perfectly simulating the chaotic movements of a rodeo.

A fun, ironic, and entertaining decoration that makes your vacuuming way more enjoyable to watch.

⚙ Features

Easy assembly: just print the parts and add a small spring.

Compatible with Roomba and most flat-top robot vacuums/mops.

Dynamic motion effect created naturally by the robot’s movement.

💡 Tips

Attach the base with removable tape or double-sided adhesive to avoid falling.

Purely decorative, does not interfere with cleaning functions.

Bring some humor to your daily chores — enjoy a miniature rodeo while your robot takes care of the floors!

Extra Tip for Better Rodeo Effect

For an even more realistic rodeo simulation, I recommend adding a small hole behind the bull’s head (you can do this directly in your slicer software, e.g., PrusaSlicer, using a simple cylinder subtraction).

Through this hole, pass a thin string and attach it to the cowboy’s hand — just like a real bull rider holding on to the rope. This allows the rider to wobble more freely and eventually even “fall off,” perfectly mimicking the unpredictability of a real rodeo.

🎲 Bonus Game Idea
This setup can also turn into a fun family or party game: place bets with friends or relatives on when the cowboy will fall off during the cleaning session. Whoever guesses right wins!
