Giant Robot Project: Part 33

[maZZiveAttack]

You've got the video of the drill when it was new. Tell them that!!

[frosty9595]

Cordless drills are EVIL..... The plug in ones are anoying to string cords around but for drilling holes in metal (basically super heavy duty work) a good plug in drill is awesome and they have SOOOO much power so they never lock up on a burr. I use my ancient black and decker drill like a impact wrench sometimes because its soo powerful.

[dillllon3]

dude you should join DARPA or something. that way people would pay you to make awesome robots and stuff. t shirt funding is nice, but a blank check from the US goverment is better.

[Goop023]

Sry meant to be on wideo of sexy legs

[Goop023]

im eleven and i wear size 9 mens shoes so9 BEAT THAT!!

[skaterblo]

Awesome awesome explanation..

[utubeworms]

Take a picture of the drill and email it to them!!!!

[bigbollocks69]

yeah i also watched from No 1 lol

my brain is going to explode

[McMaster]

I watched the previous videos to this one starting yesterday at 330PM...

[AtomicBleach]

Um one question or well maybe two. How are you planning on getting on top of the robot when it's finished? And how are you going to transport it off ur mountian?

[KiraKAzeGigaK]

Ma Jami u ROCK! I wish I had tht much insparanssion, patience, and skill..knowdlge 2 lol.

[JMEMantzel]

so.... have that much. You are in charge of you.

[KiraKAzeGigaK]

Thnx, I know I will. ^^

[sandberg420]

@JMEMantzel he's gotta learn to spell first

[artemisgallow]

so I just found these videos this morning (in Oz, so its 11:35am now), and have just watched through to this one. Wow. This is seriously awesome, man. I feel inspired to do something awesome now. And I love your property. I miss living in the woods like that. One day gonna get some place in the middle of nowhere and just build cool shit all day, haha!

Keep up the good work, good luck!

[JMEMantzel]

holey crap. You watched that many at once!? You're going to go crazy with that much Jaimie!

Ya, its really fun living in open space, and having few rules. :-)

[jetty1122]

you do realize that a fine generator weighs alot :D right? :D

sorry for my english im not from USA.. :D

[artistkeith3]

Your explanation on the various tensions on the pulleys was extremely interesss...zzzzzzzzzzzzz....z­zzzzzzzz...zzzzzzzzzz

Ha!  Just kidding!! keep up the good work! :-)

(yeah, right, like you have tons of time to make tutorials.)

[JMEMantzel]

ha ha. ya, I thought it might be boring! Thats why I didn't explain it all when I first put it together. :-P

[pyrrho314]

it was awesome, I understand the principles and yet it was still nice to see in practice what you built from them and how you were thinking. It aslo shows how careful your thinking is on this kind of thing... sometimes it seems, oh, jamie's just hacking together a robot... but I can see your mind is really very careful where it matters, and it shows in your work.

I'm dumbfounded you made that little robot climb, and I marvel at however the spider steering system works...

[JMEMantzel]

thanks! Ya, I'm a little goofy, and uhh... energetic when I'm building. ....but a lot of thought goes into the designs and stuff. :-)

[jetty1122]

hey jaimie i was wondering what are you gonna power it on... maybe you have talked it allready but i dont remember.. what kind of batteries are you going to use? is any.

[JMEMantzel]

Well... haven't worked that out exactly yet. I'll just stick a generator on it ar first. ...until I get my hands on some batteries somewhere.

[hellbrand]

shenannigans!!

[kiml42]

I guess it turns out Ridged were quite inflexible.

I couldn't resist that joke, I doubt I'm the first to say it.

Your robot's really looking roboty now, I can't wait to see it start walking.

[JMEMantzel]

haa haa. yes! That are very Rigid, aren't they.  :-P argh.

[Mangina9000]

This is looking great. I can't wait to see it out in the open!

[robologist]

Onward HooOOOOOoooo!

[sycmuzak]

were you hitting your angle grinder at the beginning to make it work?

harbour freight?

i have to do the exact same thing to mine

[JMEMantzel]

haa haa. Ya. Mine is kinda old. Its getting worse....

[McClover]

did you ever say lawl for me yet =(

[JMEMantzel]

I hate lawl! augh! Thats the worst conversational thing ever!

[LieutenantClone]

I agree!

[gamertecno]

have you ever found any caves were your at?

[JMEMantzel]

only tiny little ones. Nothing really cool! ...yet.

[LieutenantClone]

Isn't there like a cave thing where your cold air comes from, under the dome? How big is it?

[hobbexp]

nice, thanks for showing  5/5

[theproof7]

LOVE the pulleys :D

[Asbestos101]

this project must never go unfinished!

[JMEMantzel]

Ya.  ...if I accidentally kill myself doing it, someone must take over!

[Karpens16]

PHYSICS!

[blenderuser]

very impressive, nice explaination!

[JMEMantzel]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. :-) I thought it would be boring.  ha ha

[kukelz]

i wana see it walk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FredrikHAndersson]

Wow, that is mighty impressive!

I recognize that feeling when trying to explain ones creations. It all seems so clear in your head, but it is impossible to explain in words. Anyway, in one video you explained how you work on your projects mentaly. Could you make a more in-depth tutorial about how to do that? That would be awesome and so usefull.

Keep up the good work!

[JMEMantzel]

hmm... a tutorial about how to change your mind into a problem solving machine? I could... I think. It might be hard to explain, but... I'll think about it. Oh crap. I hope I don't forget. :-P

[DeoMachina]

Hey be careful with the grinder! If a spark hits the camera it could scorch the lens or something!

Sparks = bad. I learned the hard way :(

[JMEMantzel]

Ya, the camera was like 8ft away!

[robotwo]

Sweet sweet progress :D

good to see that it holds the weight aswell :)

[captainvideoblogger]

Do you mount it with lasers or railgun?

[Sully800]

Yay #33! 33 videos at 10 minutes a piece is getting awfully close to 6 hours.....and here we are hanging on to your every word! Not to mention all of your other sweet videos, like the dome systems and alaska trip and bees and towers. I bet a lot of us have watched 12 hours of your footage JME

[Flaringo]

wooohoo

[eddo1337]

YAAAY

[captcaveman4201]

Buy a new drill and get the paperwork for it.. then register and send them the old stuff back with the new info..

[kukelz]

excellent idea.

[DannysCam]

first comment!! do you have internet in the woods?

[pyrrho314]

I've been curious about that... doesn't seem like you are going to a cafe... you'd have no time :)

I'm impressed that you know enough about the freedom of motion those legs need to design that pully with the wafer at the right angle and everything... I know physics well enough to be very impressed with your ability to apply it in engineering.

[JMEMantzel]

ya... some of my physics gets fudged a little when I put it into real life. ...but its close enough! ha ha.

Oh, and I don't have internet at home. I go to the local law school or somewhere with wireless. Hmm... maybe I should make a FAQ video. :-P
