How hard could it be to build an arm that punches? - Life Size Rock'em Sock'em Robots Part 1

I have used pneumatic cylinders in past projects, so they were the perfect choice to use when I decided to build a life sized version of a toy from my childhood. In this video I prototyped the punching arm mechanism and tested it out by connecting it to the air compressor.

New videos are uploaded as soon as I finish them!

If you're like me you have creative ideas and sometimes they get trapped inside your mind. Here on Byte Sized Engineering I make project videos that get you excited about unleashing your inner maker and making those creative ideas a reality!

You should also subscribe to byte sized, and consider become a supporting member through Patreon or YouTube memberships. Supporting members get access to behind the scenes content, free project build guides, discord community server, early release videos, and monthly hangouts. Thanks for taking the time to watch this video, I look forward to seeing you next time!

The genuine excitement at the punching motion was fun to watch. It's always awesome to see something that was once in our head work in real life.
