I fought my friend - Life Size Rock'em Sock'em Robots Part 4
Over the last several months, I've been building my own version of the classic toy Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots. Because I like to overcomplicate and overengineer everything I do, I decided to make mine life-size and controlled by pneumatic cylinders connected to an air compressor. I invited my friend Will over because this game requires two people to play. Before we can have our fighting robot face-off, there are a few things that I need to finish first.

There's more than one way to skin a robot! - Life Size Rock'em Sock'em Robots Part 3
Просмотров 3,8 тыс.4 месяца назад
I'm making a version of the classic toy Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots, but my version is life-sized! I'm using an air compressor to drive pneumatic cylinders for the punching arms. I'm also including some electronics that will detect the punches and keep track of who's winning. In part 3 I build the second robot frame but run into all sorts of problems when I go to put the skin on both robots. Digi...
I invented Chow Check to help my negligent friend
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
My friend often forgets whether or not he's fed his dog, so he asked me to help him build a device that sends him a message when it's time to feed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I used a Wi-Fi microcontroller and illuminated RGB LED buttons that light up and send notifications when it's mealtime.

I am building a life size version of Rock'em Sock'em Robots, and I'm using pneumatic cylinders to make the arms and head move. In this video I print the arm and head pieces and secure them to the robot. Everything was going smooth until I jinxed it by saying that out loud. Fortunately I was able to solve all the problems that came up and by the end I demonstrate what this robot can do for the f...

    Why would you soldier directly to the buttons and joystick? These are wearable parts and at some point, will need to be replaced. Just use crimp on connectors. It will save time in assembly and down the road when replacement parts are evolved. Other than that great build.

    First let me say the hands on part was awesome 👍🏻 😎 I haven't done the calculations but the nickel plate strip may cause a heat issue depending on the current draw. Always opt for pure nickel if you can. Though that spot welder wouldn't be able to do .15 pure probably. Did you check your AMO draw and your ends where the main positives and negatives are located? May need a nice 12 awg copper wire at each end where the current ends and passes

    Hi question for you. I am currently in the middle of this project. The button kit that I got requires 28mm holes for the buttons and a 24mm hole for the joystick. Did you buy specific drill bits for this? I am having a hard time finding hole saw drill bits for these sizes. Also, what router bit did you use to make the cut out for the joystick?

    I purchased an EBike with an unusual seat battery housing, so when the cells die, I'll have to replace them inside the housing because I doubt a replacement battery pack will be available at that time. I have good electronics experience, and this will help. Replicating the layout of the pack should make things easier.

    When handling your signal wire like shown @6:40 make sure you are isolated and have no connection to ground. Otherwise you will close the circuit by just touching the exposed part of the signal wire and potentially hurt yourself. I recommend to use a button on the breadboard to test your relay and not do what is shown in this video!

  • @randomyoutuber4500
    @randomyoutuber4500 Месяц назад

    someone with electronics knowledge pls explain this... Why do we need a MOSFET and all those ? if we just amplify the signal to around 4V and use the 'NORMALLY OPEN' port with the common, switch will be closed when the signal gives a 4V & Switch will be opened while the signal gives below 4V. that way you don't have to deal with that reverse logic. I think there was a reason why you didn't do so. if someone knows it, pls explain...

  • @ScamstinCrew
    @ScamstinCrew Месяц назад

    I agree with others. The lack of real "Punch" undercuts the experience. Also In the Game they move. So you can move your guy in and out of range. Its also the heads that you are trying to hit. Not count body shots. I think put the IMU in the heads and change you 4 bar linkages so they strike towards the faces. Then put them on linear rails (Most likely double v wheels will be good enough) so you can move them in and out of range. also allow some torso swivels so you can aim the hits better. I know it took a lot to get to this point and They look awesome but could use some refinements and tweaks.

  • @famousamoso7
    @famousamoso7 Месяц назад

    Great build however I feel I must address the giant elephant in the room that the Robots dont really make contact with each other which to me is a great disservice to the game. My suggestion would be to design the fists to have some sort of "springyness" in them so when they make contact you're not damaging any components. You could also design the chest piece to have some give to absorb the impacts and make it much more realistic to the original toys. I would also make it so the robots can rotate slightly and slide back and forth slightly just to give the user more "control" of the robot fight.

    • @Robothut
      @Robothut Месяц назад

      I agree. Bumping fists is not what the game was about. It is totally cool what you have done so far, but if you could make some changes so the fists can hit the other robot's chest or better yet the head like in the real game that would be fantastic. Thank you for sharing this project with us.
