Huge thanks to my Patrons, without whom my standard of living would drastically decline. Like, inside out-Farm Foods bag decline. Plus a very special shoutout to Lulzbot, Inc who keep me in LulzBot 3D printers and support me via Patreon.

HARDWARE/SOFTWARE

Below you can also find a lot of the typical tools, equipment and supplies used in my projects:

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.

Someone has put A LOT of thought in to this product. Very impressed.

Nice video.

[eggspresso]

I'd really be interested in a teardown of one of those rotary modules. Motor+reduction+angle sensing+a slip ring in a tiny ball like that is pretty wild. But I still think the real star of the show is the level of polish on the software. Interactive tutorials and being able to pick joints and angles through a graphical interface is incredibly cool.

the instruction of how to build is incredible

[GadgetAddict]

Very cool for quick and lazy prototyping

Would like to see the manipulator and suction cups.

[StormBurnX]

This looks absolutely incredible and I hope they update the app to use the 'brain' IMU data to orient the robot correctly on the phone display, that would make it massively better but even as it is, it's functional!

[SmokyFrosty]

Very impressive system really, understandably expensive but there really is alot going on. Would have been great to have as a kid!

[misbooon]

stick it to the ceiling and you've got yourself a GLaDOS

[sidneylavoie]

Let's just take a moment to appreciate the hardware. Back-driveable motors, addressable modules (which seems to be unique as they can provide a feedback of the robot's state), camera, range sensor, pressure sensor, what seems to be a pretty beefy wi-fi enabled mircontroller... All in a "kids toy". I SO want a SDK for that!

[kbdsm]

This seems really cool, but I've looked into it and there doesn't appear to be a real SDK yet. They need to get on with releasing it, then I'd be sold. It has about everything somebody who isn't entirely familiar with electrical engineering, but is a programmer (me) needs to get started on something fun, and it looks quite polished and nice.

[ArtamisBot]

I really like that as an introductory tool, it would also be really easy for me to control

[MarinusMakesStuff]

The only thing I'm interested in it the repeatability and torque ;) But it's a great tool for kids to learn more about how these robots work. I mean, in the near future these will become more common goods and hopefully they will also get a more useful application.

[andyspoo]

I thought "that looks checks site...."ah, yes".

[azyfloof]

Can't wait for the Stephen Merchant voice upgrade :D

[davisdiercks]

Gotta be honest I didn't think I would like this, since I normally avoid the "maker" toys with only one way to do it right since that kind of defeats the creativity imo. However, this is just incredible! Just like Legos you can follow the instructions or make it up yourself with infinite ways to build and program, assumedly infinitely expandable (within the current rating of the battery), and overall just BEAUTIFULLY polished in every aspect. As soon as Bac came to life I was very impressed with the motor speed and precision especially combined with the animation, and it didn't stop there. Definitely something I'd consider getting my future kid.

[wolfe]

Very clever, great way to get kids and adults into robotics, will have to wait for a cheaper version to come out though

[Scott_C]

1K(usd) for the box he demonstrated really seems like a good deal for what this is. I would hope the devs would release a kit for it. Kind of want to put it on a rail system mounted to the walls and ceiling let it move about. Also needs an "Alexa" or "Hey Google" interface.

[deano]

Well, now my kids want one. But I must admit, it’s very cool.

[dheerajg.]

Is it just me or does this robot really look like it comes from the game Portal and Portal 2?

[Convolutedtubules]

Just what I needed to skip ads for me when I'm just trying to listen to some music.

[EngineeringSpareTime]

Cool concept!
I started building a 6 axis robot arm with servo drives - you might enjoy watching it :)
