Grinding through the remodel in the basement. A production team uses the Robotics Lab to shoot a rap video. Ynos starts on the phone system. And we turn Junque into parts.

The more of these videos I watch, I'm wondering if you can have a camera man follow Ynos around while he installs all that hardware? I think Ynos would be a wealth of information in terms of teaching people how to set up enterprise level hardware.

Nothing complicated, just have him explain what all he is doing, how it's hooked up, and how to do a basic config on each item.

What are your thoughts on something like this? A lot of the stuff he is doing you can only absorb via actually doing

@snyperbob Ynos will be doing a whole series. It's already in the works. :) He's quite clever and very good on camera.

How much are you looking at per window to replace them in the basement?

[Physicsduck]

@amfan12 Roughly $500 or so per window was the price for the upstairs. The lower windows are slightly smaller so I hope they would be a tad less.

each video shows me more of your lab. soon i will donate to help you. where does that door at 31:58 go? clean rooms are better for you work.  servo motors are neat. yes this video is fun.

yes i read the disclaimer. :)

@Balarick That's a wall, not a door. You're watching the camera pull back through the door from the boiler room into the supply room. The "door" you see is actually the open door of the boiler room pushed against the wall.

Oh and Chris, i recommend tell your minions to bend from the knees not the back. most people don’t know this but the muscles in your back are strong enough to damage your spine. when you consider your entire upper body weight is being supported by your lower vertebrae when you bend over like that the last thing id want to do is add more weight to it by picking something up.

Glad to see you got those balloons, I read on the forums that someone was sending you some, and was wondering what happened to them... I am intending to launch a space program myself within the never few weeks... I will post all the info on the forums [=

Someone needs to play Turn Turn Turn by The Byrds when Moose is turning stock on the lathe... :-)

@Physicsduck, I have few more of those current transformers,I'll send them your way. I ordered them thinking I would use them for something they were not designed for. That didn't work out...I have more casters,bumpers,and more. Look out ! Have you ever heard of the show "Hoarders"? If I didn't like giving stuff away, I could be a featured event ! LOL ,Thanks again for the GG vision !
