Same license applies to all internet platforms, so not only Youtube, also for streaming on twitch etcetera.

In this episode i am trying to make the Marble Machine X play 20000 Marbles in a row without fail, mixed results. But with some rule changes we won in the end :)

Have a great day everyone and good luck with what you are doing / Martin

The amount of patience you have creating this machine is impressive.

[SuperfluousIndividual]

This guy suffers on a daily basis to create this machine, and then the whole group goes right ahead and just put their music out there for everyone to use within reasonable limits of exploitation.
In the year where DMCA claims are higher than ever and more ridiculous than some court trials, if anything, you guys deserve massive amounts of respect.
I'm not even a content creator and I feel like I should thank this guy.

[adoxographiccontent]

This is so incredible - it's not even a step back, it's more a waltz-step. Sure, you swing back for a second, but then you move to the side and forward again while turning to change your vantage point. Keeping the sheer breadth of this project in mind is really important -- it's amazing and so are you for bringing something so unique to life.

Keep waltzing.

The fact that he's giving his license to his music for free is amazing, super dope dude

[TheBug]

He talked about being a scientist while talking about musical rhythem. He combined music and science into one. amazing

[DavidGuyton]

THANK YOU for offering your music to people. I will definitely be using some in my upcoming tutorials....but I intend to pay!

[jimturpin]

Re: the 19 marbles that missed the funnel. The drumheads will rebound differently based on changes in humidity, which may be the root cause of why they worked the first time and missed this time. To test that observation, note bounce height when the head is bone dry, and then again after it is slightly damp. Unfortunately I have no suggestions on how to control the weather. Good luck!

[kyleclarke]

I've watched every episode without fail, and watched the struggles you've been through since the beginning, but the best videos have got to be the most recent ones, since you've shown such enthusiasm and positivity no matter what problems you're facing, and you really have turned a corner with the new strategy of testing and fixing every issue until it's perfect, I owe all my willpower to you, as you've really helped show me how to succeed no matter how hard it becomes. Keep at it and good luck!

[TheLongHairedFellow]

Martin, I just want to say I think you made a great decision in moving away from a video every Wednesday. The format you have now is definitely giving us the sense that we can see actual progress made as oppose to seeing steps to making progress over multiple videos, like before. I really enjoy watching this series over the years and can't wait to see it live if you come to Idaho!

[ryanandrews]

If this machine was the only evidence of human existence, I wouldn’t even be upset.

[sid_edwards]

The best thing about this channel is that we get to see Martin's personal progress as an engineer and designer. It's not the MMX that we love watching, it's you Martin!

[jan_Masewin]

Looking forward to the eventual documentary... Wintergatan: Balls of Steel

[Nenacu]

Good guy Wintergatan, sharing music with content creators. It's been a blast watching this project progress. Makes the drafter/designer in me very happy.

[Stephan]

I must say. These new pieces with the grooves are so beautiful. All this “redesigning the MMX” process, was absolutely 100% worth it.

[clownsheep]

Martin is an inspiration to all. Not just engineers of different disciplines, but all people. Dedication, kindness, heart, soul, you’re the man!

[razmazerz]

"if you want to you could choose to pay, and I'm super happy if you do, and super happy if you don't"
This is the next level of humbleness and creative building characteristics! He's One in a million...

[Soggy-In-Seattle]

This is an excellent example of the scientific method, prototyping, testing, and data analysis.

[katjoe]

It’s good to see you seeming so happy. Been worried about you for a little while, honestly. Hope you’ve been taking time to care for yourself and not get too overwhelmed by the machine. It’s astounding how far this project has come. Such a thing of beauty- I hope also that you are able to take a step back now and again to appreciate the absolute wonder of this great thing you have built! We love you, Martin!
