Man refuses to go to therapy, builds a tactical robot.

The fact that your mom only let you play games for 30 minutes and the battery only lasting for 30 minutes also feels a bit special

[Sparkie]

Mr. Homeless "I wasn't even smart enough to grab a can of Raid"
Me: I am scared of the wasp on the can of Raid.

[Mr.Melon-]

8:10 “They usually let me drive the forklifts” 😭🙏

[ron_sr]

I think this is the first time i see someone use 48 FPS in a YouTube video

[blacklight]

"I confronted my biggest fear"
Me looking at the title: "you're afraid of first person shooters? Or are you afraid of frames per second?"

[marshallerickson]

Been on a robotics team for three years, head engineer, all that and it’s still amazing when the robot drives, literally every time it’s like “holy shit that worked?!”

[dulesipu]

I’m not usually a fan of motivational speeches, they’re usually unbearably cheesy. But that ending really got to me dang

[jombii-]

Forget Elon Musk and his Neuralink. This man will be the first to create Sword Art Online in real life

[RicanSamurai]

incredible storytelling and production here. I'm proud of you dad

[TheGreatMilksteak]

You made a wasp CIWS at home, Jesus christ youre a genius

[NigelMelanisticSmith]

I love when some YouTuber's ideas scope creep all the way up to ARPA project lol. Mark Rober's egg is another example.

[TaiKniOFF]

you just created a real Camera rig right here

[JotaroKujo-wfty]

the haunting sound of it every time the motors turn, like a machine locked-in and loaded, ready to strike fear to those who'll get hit. Especially the A10 Warthog fire rate. I am currently studying Electronics Engineering, and you're one of my favorite channel when it comes to building random stuff

[Rushil]

“Actually feels like I’m playing a video game”

Buddy you just stumbled onto the secret behind our massive drone programs

[segment]

Welcome to robotics. It is hard and expensive but, very rewarding.

[eunaosouovasco]

I don’t know why but I love this kind of silly stuff

[Cosmic_Corpse]

Big dumb man is unironically big dumb genius consistently.

[mrndnns]

This hits home. This really hits home. Nothing makes me feel more "tony stark" than sitting at my workspace, 672 lines of code up on my laptop, and wires and misc tools and components strewn across it. All there really is to say is I love making. Creating something that works is one of the single most satisfying feelings in the world. Kudos to you, good sir. You built it, it worked, and its yours.

I gotta say, this video moved me. Never would I have thought a Mr. Humus video would leave me reflecting on life itself. But here I am, wiping a tear from my eye, basking in the realization that I have made excuses for the past 8 years as to why I’m not being the gigachad I was born to be. Thank you Nick, I am grateful for the entertainment you have provided me over the years. I shall go forth and ask dumb questions in the pursuit of building cool shit <3
