I love all the effort you put in your videos, keep going! You deserve millions of subs

[Dsschuh]

I like your child-like curiosity and excitement! It makes your videos lots of fun. And your daughter is so cute and it is great that you are introducing her to electronics and science at such a young age.

Hey Geek Detour do you have any ideas of how I can build a robot that solves the rubix cube using arduino?

[bumpedhishead]

Seems like it needs a way to detect the edge of a drop-off, similar to how a Roomba can detect stairs. Maybe another ultrasonic sensor pointed at a downward angle? The logic would be the opposite of the forward facing sensor - it would need to detect the floor ahead, and if it did NOT detect the floor, then stop & turn.

[derekturner]

The transistor is connecting and disconenecting the BT module when the SW activates it. It is a curious but elegent solution.

[ymamguldadov]

This is great robot, want to make one, but can't find the Arduino code, can anyone help me with that!?

[SoCalRobots]

I love it when companies give you cool stuff to review! I love reviewing too and I also have this kit. Lots of code to review and learn from!

[manueldavidjeronimopaez]

Can you give me the code and the educational material please, I need it

[SentryGaming]

0:36 actually, it calculates how to move every 16 times every second, because it is clocked at 16Hz.

[Joulespersecond]

Mine arrived today and I am loving it! I think I will try 3D printing some housing for the robot to make it look like Wall-E :D

1:35 i ordered a board game from amazon and the box was a size of a treehouse 😂

[tonysfun]

I have this exact model. The robot balance fine, but I can't make the Android phone app to work. It connects and that is it. Any suggestions? Also, I found some 6-7 years old software and APP for the phone on Github. But it doesn't work eighter. Thanks!

[bjoern.molinari]

You made my day 😊👍. Very good video. Keep on going 😁
I also try to understand how it deals with the PID stuff and how it reads the sensor data.
Maybe that robot can be pimp with some S.L.A.M. functionality 😊

[sahilkumarrao]

Woah, your daughter is a grown up now, last video she was a cute little baby❤️. Time flies, hope you and your family are doing great!

[slimecat_lol]

I am planning to build a two legged robot about a meter high it will have a real gyroscope on the upper 3/4 part of it to balance it
I need help on using the pu6050 to control the gyroscope to balance the robot as it walks
Please advise
Thanks

[balaw]

Love your video and the enthusiasm you express for this product. I bought and assembled it and am ready to try some expansion ideas. But I do not know which pins the IIC is connected to. Can you let me know?

[daanenmudalli]

Hey! I have a request please! Where can i find a free arduino course to learn everything about it, specially the codes.

[demej]

I built my own with yellow geared unencoded motors and Arduino Uno. Very satisfying project.
