LEGO Electric Skateboard in 360° | XRobots | James Bruton

① GENIUS

No MacArthur grant yet. But while I’m still waiting by the phone for that call, maybe you might patronise me with your Patreon-age. Or, if you’re all out of digital cash just comment on one of my hilarious Instagram pics, pop me a Tweet or generally yell in my direction.

② XROBOTS

Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.

XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

③ MUSIC AND SFX

[thenumbergaming]

this is the coolest video ever! awsome job

[tobyCornish]

You are definitely a better skateboarder than the hacksmith ;)

[chex]

Omg I've been waiting all week for this

[JiriLajcok]

You definitely should show or even send the board to Braille Skateboarding Channel!

Well done 360 video. I quite enjoyed turning to view the front of the skateboard while you were riding it so I could see where you were going. I was hoping for an Easter egg or two in the different directions, particularly when the title card was up at the end of the video. But just getting this edited in sync with the flat video must have taken some time. Kudos!

360 cool and all bet its annoying as ducks... I just wanna watch, I dont wanna frame the shots lol... glad your getting out side for some fun thou James!

[nigelfenlon]

4:07 That red legged walking robot is alive!!!1!1eleven!1! O.o


on a serious note:
It's very interesting to actually see the surroundings the videos are shot in

[nexong.]

omg... the video looks awsome with a gear vr...

[KevinLarsson]

We can see your entire room, currently trying to inspect everything

[Morphexe]

Hey James, an idea, why don't you add a FSR resistor to the board, so you can actually controll it with your foot?
Should be fairly trivial to implement and it would be better to control I think.

[timlandscheidt]

Must be an odd feeling sitting alone in a quiet room looking at a camera behind which about half a million people are watching :-).

[DopeCoolGames]

4:34. Do you see it? looks super weird lol

[mysticwaffle]

ti make the ride better i suggest long-board wheels and possibly better berrings

[Diablpl]

What is the maximum distance of this board?

[jazperruedas]

i never seen a edited/cut out 360 video

[jasonhendricks]

If you increase the length of the front axle it should reduce the radius of your turning circle.

[christopherrapczynski]

wow I never realized how hefty the lighting was

[FantMod]

the 3D View need only 2 things more.. a Crosshair and Birds ( Targets ) XD
