This LEGO Machine DRAWS BETTER Than YOU (probably)

This LEGO machine can draw everything, based off of a picture.
It can also be used to track hands and draw whatever you draw in the air.

The mindstorms is programmed using ev3-dc:

Hello everybody!
I made a new robot, and this time I made an automatic Lego drawing robot!
This is probably my most complicated machine yet, so make sure to let me know what you think of it!
Do you have any ideas for what i can make?
Leave it down in the comment section!

at 1:30, the reason technic frames have bumps is because a sideways technic beam is very slightly shorter than an upright one, and since the frame combines upright and sideways beams, they don't line up.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Oohh I didn't know that! It would've been nice if they filled in the edges tho.

[@AstonishingStudios]

I liked how much of your personality came to light as you were drawing your face by pinching your fingers!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

As long as my personality is a positive thing, thank you!😆

[@Brick_Science]

AMAZING!!!

[@CGR_CALEB1NH0]

howdy

[@EthanNguyen-rq1xi]

Yoo it's Brick Science

[@EverythingbrothersYT]

Nice very high quality editing!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks! I actually went back and slowed the entire video down by adding in some frames between sentences, because believe it or not: I found it too fast, even for youtube!

[@3DPrinterAcademy]

This is so impressive! Great work!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you, Steven!

[@keanorobotics9219]

Amazing build, coding, and even more amazing editing. Keep up the good work

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you for your kind words!

[@TurtleLegoProductions]

Very nice job on this! I love the incorporation of a little extra coding to make it more interactive.

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! And on top of that a 'battle' is more interesting than a test.

[@Creative_Electronics]

Echt insane!! Gewoon al supercool dat je in de lucht kunt tekenen?! Dat concept/idee heb ik nergens anders gezien (buiten een 3D Pen dan) ! Heel nice, het resultaat ziet er ook echt supergoed uit!!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Erg bedankt! Nou vraag ik me wel af of het lucht-teken-resultaat echt zo mooi is... ;)

[@UltimateLegoMachines]

Nice!! Great editing!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks!

[@DrMindstorms]

You deserve so many more views and subscribers and stuff, you make the most amazing and complex machines!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

I appreciate it! They are welcome😄

[@smorensmigginsB]

agreed

[@Legocoolstudios]

Really awesome!!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@thebrickfightingchannel]

This is amazing. Keep up the awesome work

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks! I wasn't planning on stopping any time soon!

[@BrickBarny]

This looks amazing 👍

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks man! Congrats with your great succes the past two months!

[@BrickBarny]

@@CreativeMindstormsthanks 👍😁

HOW DOES THIS VIDEO ONLY HAVE 380 LIKES its 381 now

[@george19850915]

The project is amazing. I really like to know how you draw by motor, how do you get the coordinate, are you transform the image to SVG file?

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Glad to hear you like it! I use OpenCV to convert the images to drawings. You can learn more about that process on this website: medium.com/sicara/opencv-edge-detection-tutorial-7c3303f10788. To get the coordinates, OpenCV has a function called "cv2.findContours". When you for example insert a Canny image (also generated using OpenCV), it generates coordinates for the contours. The digital drawing you see on screen is actually a drawing from those coordinates, using another function called "cv2.drawContours". You can find out more about this on the opencv website: docs.opencv.org/3.4/d4/d73/tutorial_py_contours_begin.html If you have any more questions, let me know!

[@DrMindstorms]

This is so cool!! Can you make a vault like i did but more advanced, idk with an eye scanner or something?

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thanks!! I noted it on my list with many ideas!

[@DrMindstorms]

Thanks, looking forward to when it may come!

[@smorensmigginsB]

I LOVE your videos kept up. also what do you use to code your machines and how did you learn to code?

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you SO much! I code with python in Visual Studio Code. There is this library called ev3_dc that you can use to control your mindstorms. As for how I learned to code? I guess I watched one 'Hello world' tutorial and then just started. I just started with the 3D printer, which in hindsight might not have been the best choice, but it worked out allright. 😆 Basically everything I wanted to do, I just googled and somebody had always already done something similar or asked a question on stack overflow. You look at their code and learn from it. If you have any more questions, let me know and good luck!

[@smorensmigginsB]

@@CreativeMindstorms Thank you i will look into it.

[@tojuforblame]

So underated

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you Kadee! I'm still happy with all the nice comments I get!

[@LEGO_CREATOR_IDEAS]

Hi creative mindstorms! Can you tell me your this programming language? I dont know it because im new at programming and im your new subscriber

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Oh wow thank you for your support! I use Python for all programming, using the ev3_dc library. I actually do recommend watching a tutorial that's a couple of hours long to begin with and go from there. I hope this helps!

[@LEGO_CREATOR_IDEAS]

@@CreativeMindstorms Thank you!

[@Thehotglueguy]

dude, you make videos better than some youtubers with MILLIONS of subscribers!

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Thank you! This is a HUGE compliment! Although I'm not sure whether that sais something about me or them 😂

[@flarethetitanpea5358]

Mark Robert would be proud🎉.

[@user-ep1cz6vk2b]

can you share the code please

[@gielv_o8456]

wow

[@arthurpareyn6271]

mooie robot (tekent ook beter dan mij) ;)

[@arthurpareyn6271]

maak je ook video's waarin je Nederlands spreekt?

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Dankjewel! Dan is het wel een heeel hoog niveau! Ik maakte eerste video's in het Nederlands, maar dat doe ik nu niet meer, omdat meer mensen Engels praten. Ik heb bij deze video wel Nederlandse ondertiteling toegevoegd.

[@rensjuh]

Loike video

[@Ilove.Luffy12345gear]

Ben je Nederlands???

[@CreativeMindstorms]

Jazeker!
