Wouldn't the weight callapse it and if it doesnt i wouldn't be able to drive it because motors are to weak

You can always build it stronger and use high torque servos.

Still too heavy for the $50 Robot , you would need to upgrade the servos , but still thats really easy to do.

would i have to do anything other than change the servos? is there any other changes that would be needed?

The battery on the Roomba self discharges within a week, so you constantly need to keep it charged. It also requires being emptied/cleaned often.
That being said, I used it all the time back in the US. I turn it on before I leave for work, and come back home to a cleaned floor. :)
