Ben Heck's Intel Galileo Bar Brawlin' Bots

[@azyfloof]

Ben said "ZX Spectrum" properly? Felix is hamming it up in a sketch? The world has gone crazy!

[@Zhylo]

Zed-X Spectrum is the proper way anyway, as it was a british microcomputer to start with.

[@azyfloof]

Indeed, "Zed-X". Not the "Zee-X" Ben insisted on calling the thing when he built it :P

[@b4ux1t3-tech]

The fact that it comes from England has nothing to do with pronunciation when it's literally the alphabetical symbol, not the word "Zed". For instance, British people say "Dragonball Zed" when it is, technically, "Dragonball Z". It's a letter. Not a word. DISCLAIMER: I really couldn't care less about Dragonball Z. It's a crappy show, but it's the first and only thing that popped in my mind when I was thinking of for instances.

[@trisymphony]

Christopher Pilcher technically it is a pseudo-english name written in funky japanese characters that make no sense if you read them out, neither to the japanese nor to the english. so it's all wrong, everybody loses

[@NaokisRC]

Christopher Pilcher I'm british and I say Dragonball Zee. Just to add to the contradiction ;)

[@MetalHermit83]

this project needs more work, its such an amazing idea, and would be cool to see fully finished!

[@Neceros]

I'm not very fond of your... skits in the beginning. You're a fucking genius, but not everyone is easy to watch.

[@thebigirishpotato]

But that's what makes this show so great.. You'd miss the skits if they removed them

[@trulygg]

Agreed, he is clever as hell and nice to listen to but the skits do ruin it a bit for me.

[@EnigmaNL]

The skits are so bad but that's what makes them good.

[@buggsyspam]

But that's Ben. If all you wanted was dry technical information, there are less successful shows on youtube. It's Ben's show, and I wouldn't want to turn his show into a dull, humorless job for him. Most of us do that 40 hours a week. If I could have more fun at work, I would totally do it.

[@PowerSports]

Haha. This skit made me want to make an abortion joke... I'm a terrible person...

[@WalcomS7]

I don't care how many episodes it takes, I'll patiently wait for the day you do something crazy with a Nerf blaster.

[@SdudyoyO]

Ben, you seemed overly happy with these robots, I love to watch people be happy and have fun, so this was a fun episode!

[@dominickmiller4089]

Being serious here but I am no genius but I do believe that with a little time and programming you could build an app with buttons and sliders for specific functions and the slider to turn and add a hit counter or health bar to show how much you can take and some sensor to tell when you are punched instead of relying on unreliable drunk human minds

[@145tak]

If the Rock Em Sock Em patent you are talking about is from 1963 then it's public domain now. The patent office grants 20 years then anyone gets to practice the invention without having to license it. Designing around patents is also a good strategy when needed. Good work.

[@mrafayshams3089]

Can you please make a cool and interesting projects with the Intel Edison because it's an amazing product by Intel and would be great to integrate it in your projects. And we can learn too.

[@Sony_08]

Yay, Felix is in a sketch =)

[@intelX1000]

Ben Heck: All the up to date animal-memes.

[@LaughPlayLive]

As usual; I laughed, I learned, I left inspired. Thank you guys!

[@OrangeHarrisonRB3]

He's having the time of his life on this one.

[@3gsFreak]

Love the video! I'm surprised I haven't seen these videos. Was watching 'Junk TV Repurposing!' and Ben mentioned he did battle bot builds. Absolute love this.

[@chartle1]

Should make it a Tesla Edison death match.

[@AmazingDingo]

One minute in, and this is already the best Felix episode.

[@diete103]

Hahaha, I literally burst out laughing when Felix ran in to stop the fight. It reminded me of Boogie bear. I never woulda thought he could act so much better than Ben. Seriously, good job, Felix!

[@xirtus]

super thoughtfully designed as always, I hope you have some siblings to test them on -- I'm curious to see how long it lasts

[@DoomRater]

The way you're controlling the bots reminds me of The Bilestoad actually!

[@TheRunefox]

Wow, Ben is so into the end result, it's almost scary.

[@AwesomeGames56]

While great in theory the device seems to have a lot of quirks and problems that need to be ironed out. Maybe adding some sort of hit detection as well. Excellent prototype!

[@element14presents]

awesomefriends56x2 Yes, it demonstrates the theory, but needs more work to be a fully functional game.

[@AshleyJeudy]

Ah the skits! They never get old.

[@MexieMex]

Overjoyed to hear the correct pronunciation of ZX Spectum ;^>

[@tetsujin_144]

"Shiba in you"? That's dirty!

[@GreatOak99]

Ehh only if your Korean

[@cosborne2000]

You mentioned that you wanted to avoid the patents of the old game. Wouldn't those patents have long since expired? I remember playing "Rockem Sockem Robots" in the 70's so I can't imagine there are any current patents.

[@ndr4684]

Regarding the skits, they're awesome. Anyone who says otherwise has an unrefined sense of humor! Anyhow, love this show.

[@musclecar2891]

It would be awesome to connect the Bots to a kinect and use the motion controls to actuate the punch.

[@MatthewAllisonSouthAfrica]

evrybody suggest this to him

[@FlameSoulis]

Considering it is running a linux kernal in the background... assuming strings are pulled right, I could see the USB port being used to do this since the Kinect does most of the backend stuff.

[@banama1758]

it would be awesome to get 30 different star wars movies too

[@blink11101]

Why not add bump sensors to keep a hit count. Easy and cheap

[@BreezyDefrag]

It may have taken a little extra logic but if it were possible set up a two buttons for the punching and then use a slider to control the base pivot. But that is just me. Love your show Ben I have actually learned a bit from just watching ^^. Can't wait to see more.

[@BrightSpark]

wow, such Intel, very robot, so Heck, wow

[@kaneto88]

This will be even cooler if they run around on threads in a ring. One slider can control the direction (turning around), and another - the forward and backwards movments. This can be done with pairs of buttons too.

[@samseide]

sheild? You didn't run spellcheck on your whiteboard!

[@juliankorfdegidts14]

You are all great actors...

[@jcurtis858]

Alyson, you need to create a montage of every time Ben blows the dust off of something. He does it quite often! You can sync it to the Benny Hill theme song. There, now get to work!

[@zaneyoumans2923]

I think you had a bit to much fun at the end there :) cool project

[@garmir]

You should add a pressure sensor to the faces and a counter on top to keep track of the "points"

[@moebiusx373]

Should add hitboxes on the face for score and add webcams so ppl connect and have a fight online.

[@AntiGooseAction]

It's not a shibe in you, it's a shibe inu (japanese for dog)

[@Mudux]

it's shiba, smartass...

[@Ronke01]

Inu is the Japanese word for dog, but the origin of the prefix "Shiba" is less clear. The word shiba usually refers to a type of red shrub. This leads some to believe that the Shiba was named with this in mind, either because the dogs were used to hunt in wild shrubs, or because the most common color of the Shiba Inu is a red color similar to that of the shrubs. However, in old Japanese, the word shiba also had the meaning of "small", thus this might be a reference to the dog's small size. Therefore, the Shiba Inu is sometimes translated as "Little Brushwood Dog"

[@Ronke01]

donpalmera thanks, I did my best ;) But I allready knew inu was actually dog and forgot what shiba meant, which is why I just copy pasted this ;) I am trying to learn japanese on my own tho...

[@FozziesRandomReviews]

That's one nice SeeMeCNC Orion Delta 3D printer you have there!

[@RAMChYLD]

They still make Hulk Fists?

[@BenMelling]

Great video. What software do you use for designing the arm?

[@chartle1]

That was Adobe Illustrator.

[@BenMelling]

Thanks.

[@b4ux1t3-tech]

I believe he uses Adobe Illustrator.

[@trmazi]

Christopher Pilcher yes

[@jvc85]

Christopher Pilcher Looks more like Photoshop if you ask me, Illustrator uses Vector graphics but the lines in the video looks pixelated to me (which they would not be in Illustrator). Or I might as well remember things incorrectly as it has been a while since I last used Illustrator anyways.

[@SLAYER9094]

Ben I want to know if you would try to make a box mod for vaping just want to see what ideas you can come up with was your technology.

[@Estabanwatersaz]

Good video. Keep up the instructional vids. Thanks

[@bramr4309]

maybe it would be cool to have a sensor at the face to detect if it is hitted, and wire up gamepad instead of the phone control.

[@SmokyFrosty]

I think the mechanism could be better. Make one servo/motor control the rotation and then the arms are pulled by that so then one arm punches when rotation one direction and the other in the opposite. This would make the control very simple and the action all one swift movement.

[@tetsujin_144]

"No, I don't hate Ben's robot. But I pity the fool!"

[@jeremiahb7975]

I like how he change the url in the browser to "cat.com" so no one could see his IP.

[@BurningSpooon]

Know im really looking forward to the next episode the charging cuircuits are exactly what i need to repair my tablet(s) :D

[@TheTechChef420]

Should have put a pressure sensor on the face. Which would send info back to the website and keep score

[@ButaneBoss]

If only BBC's Robot Wars was still going.

[@allluckyseven]

4:18 - I don't know why Illustrator doesn't keep the rotation of your shapes stored so you wouldn't have to take note of the angles. It's such a stupid thing, and although we're in version, what? 16? 17? Adobe still didn't do it. Oh, by the way, I miss the "Rants and Raves" section of your videos, Ben. Why don't you bring'em back?

[@PowerSports]

When working with the Gallileo, was it easier to program then a Raspberry Pi? Cause, I found out the hard way that a Raspberry Pi is not friendy with servo control, or just C++ in general (I hate python), and I ended up ditching the Pi and going back to an Arduino.

[@mrlazda]

If you can use arduino than Intel Galileo should be easy for you(It use Arduino IDE). But still you need to know that Galileo (and Raspberry Pi) will never replace real microcontroller, if you need powerful microcontroller then find some with arm cortex m3 (or m4) because they are meant to be used for microcontrollers (A series i for mobile phones and multimedia devices with os), Raspberry Pi have processor that is meant for mobile phones. media players and so on, Galileo have GPIO pins connected to processor over i2c and default speed of GPIO is 230 Hz except for two pins that can go up to 2.93 MHz (cortex m4 have max speed of GPIO of 100MHz). For Raspberry PI you can write in c++ it is not so difficult, I even managed to write bare-metal application for it (in c++), but i was disappointed with performance of it (most of 8 bit microcontrollers have better performance on GPIO then it)

[@oddomaytime]

ben just use the linux theory outsource the gui design to the element 14 community have a contest to make the best gui shell for your "game"

[@MonolithTyriss]

So.. how does this Galileo compare with say a Raspberry pi 3? Would the pi's wifi have worked the same as in this setup? I imagine the price point is similar, and the pi 3 has a higher clock speed so I'd figure the pi 3 is a better option in today's market!

[@cameron1665]

Out of interest, are your sketches or component lists available to view anywhere?

[@TheGomGomBoyThaiConsoleGamer]

i cant believe ben is only 39 i thought he's almost 50

[@LeesChannel]

Well he is now

[@JAH1R]

0:46 They dragged poor Felix into this, didn't they?

[@KOTR2003]

You do realize how OLD the patent for Rock Em Sock Em Robots is right? No matter how you build it there is no patent infringement... Also... omg that laugh...

[@Bladedragonlord]

The only thing I notice on most of your physical builds, is why no washers on the insides, as in wood against wood only, etc... unless I just don't see it, Ben? Can I ask apart from possibly Ben, no replies, sick of the nonsense email I get from Google with replies to my comments on any YT video, thank you in advance! :)

[@Gamewwx]

So cool robot! It would be great to try that

[@arsalan2005]

Use the built in accelerometer and gyro to control it.

[@leoluchzibritannia]

How were you able to get your galileo to accept signals from your android device?

[@ndrsg3013]

Nice project to do for my 6 years old daughter

[@eliasholm8]

The question all of us ask is did Doge win?

[@kierankay100]

you make it all look so easy and i love the beginning stories ben aha The Ben Heck Show

[@sonicmario57]

I was thinking he should make them rotate and then he said it.

[@gaming-zombie1392]

I remember was a kid having them...

[@aryaanand759]

Can you make a self balancing robot using Arduino and I'd controlled by an android phone

[@Chrismettal]

I think this could be easier achieved with an arduino and actual Hardware controls Two sliders for the arms, and a pot you control with your thumb for the base. Also the robots could be "Easier to push over" so one can actually win :D

[@Sixtynine609]

Make Nerve Gear unless you think its impossible BTW its from SAO

[@jrizzlaa]

yay new video!

[@dammerel40]

Hi ben Why do you always use 2d cad and not 3d such as 123d?

[@emanuelamit222]

Can you build a touchscreen table

[@soundninja99]

I can do the same thing with an Arduino uno and a wifi shield right?

[@julianantoniolaspona5510]

That opening though... HAHAHHAHA

[@VilleMedeiros]

What model of laser cut did you use?

[@grandpaseed]

dear ben: i have a small gas scooter that 's battery goes bad about every year. i have made a replacement battery from 6 x 18650 LIO battery's but cant seem to find a 12.6 volt linear charger circuit can you address this in your next segment please .

[@warnematt]

Use an SLA charger with alligator clips

[@grandpaseed]

charging is not the issue over charging is lio batteries become akin to termite when over charged

[@WayneJohnsonZastil]

Prob should not made them so sturdy on feet! So can get a knockout!

[@01srob]

Felix very much reminds me of Tuvok from Star Trek Voyager.

[@jamiebeith1875]

"eee new", not "in you"

[@Stroid9]

can u make a transistor computer?

[@youssefdiouri2112]

it would be better if you add a sensor and detect when the punch is on the head and count them like in box and add some wheels and then it would be awesome

[@Bite0fBread]

Name of the laser Cutter and Software please thanks.

[@element14presents]

NextStopPrevious Epilog Mini. Which software?

[@Bite0fBread]

The one you used to design the arm sir.

[@bartuk28]

The Ben Heck Show One of my friends she brought to my workshop a broken microwave . I surprised her to install module and soft and in result ,instead of making simple "DING ,DING" , it plays short Final Fantasy funfares. She call me later to say that was the coolest surprise ever. Would You repeat that idea in one of Your episodes ?

[@kylecheramie3754]

How do you determine a KO

[@terrylembke8100]

Hey, Guys . That was a cool project as always . Also you guys are crazy too You may want to check your shop ventilation system . I think you guys have inhaled toooo many soldering fumes LMAO . Have a great day . Can't wait to see what you are going to do next . Best Regards Terry

[@Ronke01]

Much wow!

[@gamerwill2187]

It's shiba E knew, ( how you say it...) not shiba in you

[@mushroomsamba82]

Shiba E-NEW Shiba E-NEW

[@Aeidotronics]

Aww, no hit detection?

[@o0julek0o]

Life... after sloths...

[@user-ki2ow7if5c]

Servo'cal Pain Machines.

[@Sixtynine609]

make Nerve Gear plz

[@TheCrust333]

Hobbyking Servos FTW :D

[@DerClaudius]

Sensors behind the faces detecting hits....

[@banama1758]

felix is cool

[@oktny]

sheebah in you

[@allluckyseven]

Those intros... Horrible, but I lov'em.

[@Thezombustersteam]

that is awesome

[@stefano3809]

What I would like to have this because I can play with this with my borther

[@TommyTreadaway]

0:43 sounds like Zoidberg

[@mpg3219]

Make a raspberry pi tablet
