Worlds hardest jigsaw vs. puzzle machine (all white)

This project was so hard it almost broke me.

"If at first you don't succeed, reduce your expectations until you're a success" what a line

As an automation engineer this blew me away. Keep doing crazy stuff like this!

Damn I cannot even imagine how stressful it must be to make these projects. Devoting months to these insane projects that could very easily end up failing, all to entertain strangers on the internet. I have mad respect for that.

[soul_maestro]

seeing that Mark Rover just released a video about making a likewise robot that took him and his team 3 years to built having yours avail. to "get inspired" if they wanted, just made me get even more respect for you as you did all by yourself and only took a couple weeks or months to complete it.
and on a lower budget more likely as well.

mad respect for all the stuff you come up with and create.

IMPORTANT TIP: Having spent a decade making laser cut jigsaws I have learned that if you cut it UPSIDE DOWN the slight bevel caused by the tapering of the beam focus works with you to iron out slight misalignments when assembling it.
Wonderful, wonderful work and a joy to watch.

Looking forward to part 3, where the expectations gnaw away at your soul until you have no choice but to revisit this project until it's fully automated.

The only YouTube channel I immediately play when a new video comes out. Absolutely insane discipline and commitment. Always motivates me to keep up my own learning.

Retired programmer here. I would have debugged the process with a much smaller puzzle first, but you got there in the end. Kudos.

The thing I like about this channel is that you have an idea, you scurry off and do it, and then post what you've done after it's all finished. There's no hurry to 'feed the algorithm' at the idealized pace, or keep up with current events. It's just good content, delivered after its actually finished and properly documented. I admire that a lot.

I think we can feel your pain building this robot and having to tone down expectations. Thanks for making this it's amazing.

Anyone that knows anything about automation knows how ridiculously hard of a challenge this is. Your projects are all so intense dude, love it!!

[syedabdullah]

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, my mind just went bullocks looking at how Software and Design Engineering has Integrated and how you solved the problem sequentially, Mechanically I suppose you can do way more precise movements, but what you have done has just peaked the whole project!! Love to see such videos, I get inspired to learn and get to enjoy Engineering!!

I know you are slowly going totally insane but as much anticipation and excitement that I've had awaiting this second part must be immeasurable to the feelings you've had for this project. With relocating on top of the emotional and physical -torment- tribulations, you still completed it. Congratulations, and thank you for putting in the hard work (and fun little details).

“It is, without a doubt, THE hardest project that I’ve done.” I love how this is how he feels after every project. Shane rules.

[Mikeztarp]

A lot of people try to mix educational and entertaining, but no one does it quite this way, and rarely this well. The originality and ambition of your projects, the little jokes you have to pay attention to notice... I love this channel.

I don't know if you'll see this comment in a sea of 12k comments, but I really really really REALLY appreciate how you showcase your successes AFTER a series of failures. Code bugs are a part of the process, and I so appreciate your willingness to share those. There are many other channels that filter out the failures. Awesome job. 🙏

[BlackDreaded]

what I love about Shane is that he also shows the fails - engineering is hard and a lot of trial and error - but succeeding like in this video feels great

[RADRazeKX]

Loved how you were like "Luckily, I only have to do this 1 time" "2 times" "3 times" . Video was fantastic! I love your content!

[alexkfridges]

The fact that you didnt build and test the software witha tiny small control puzzle to find all the issues first is why youre an absolute legend

[Hello-oyzz]

I love it. The "I'm slow going totally insane" spelled out in different fonts whenever there was a shot of you speaking at the computer. Thank you for going through 32 hours of taking pictures for the project
