I walk inside and forgot what I wanted to change in the 3D model. So I write it down & leave the paper in the shop. Then I write it on my hand and finish machining the part. I look down & my plan is already starting to fail again. 😂

Turns out my little shop buddy really loves watching the tool changer, so I had to make it a little easier for him. I also thinks he likes being between me and the camera. He made a cameo in the latest video!

I did this to teach my kids how generators work. We did this years ago and the kids still talk about it. No one was required to use it, but they loved it so much they actually unplugged the Wii and plugged in lightbulbs to see who could make them the brightest.

Let’s start a list of engineering related book & movie recommendations. Bonus points for true stories. Some of my favorites- Nonfiction- Skunk Works, Spy Craft, the perfectionist, today I started failure is not an option. Looking for more problem solving stories!

Statistics are fascinating & dangerous if misunderstood. Changing the question slightly leads to vastly different results. For example the odds you will win the lottery twice is tiny. The odds someone will win the lottery twice is actually pretty high.

I have decided to check it out. Let’s see what happens.

Significant operations are in progress. Stay tuned.

It’s nice to have someone keeping my leg safe. Sort of…

Two years ago I built an industrial robot and it almost killed me. I am finally ready to try a new robot. The video is live right now! Please join me for the journey. This little guy is quite the challenge. youtu.be/SoJjSXVe8jo

I need help - I am designing a robot (not WALL-E) that will track an object & point the camera keeping the object in frame. I am considering Open CV on a raspberry pi? What would you use and why? I have never used Open CV so whatever I use it will be new to me.

✅ Jeremy Fielding refused to build my camera robot design, but that's probably for the best...

New Video is Live! This was integration Hell times 2 with many failed prototypes. Please don't enjoy my suffering too much! youtu.be/MXVGelQXSbc

Finally making progress on WALL-E’s tracks. They a bit more complicated than I originally planned 🤣 but here are most of the parts machined or printed! Now on to the welding and adding actuators and track segments!
