I Made Robot Krabs in Real Life

[@anonshrimp8299]

Honestly, the fact an eye flickers makes it more accurate to something Plankton would build.

[@AustinBradley]

In that case, let’s just say I did it on purpose

I literally just realized the name 'Imitation Krabs' is a reference to imitation crab... like the food. damn i'm dumb. great vid btw

[@AustinBradley]

Nah I realized the same thing when I started this project. Went my whole childhood without getting the joke.

[@thomasharrington1477]

Stephen and the OG crew were truly geniuses.

[@MartinGames]

The colour match was great by itself but the weathering brought it into the real world.

[@AustinBradley]

I’m glad you agree with my thought process!

[@katakombejc]

"imitation krabs" is the best name for robot mr krabs im so glad it was chosen

By the thumbnail, I thought it was going to be a 3D model, but when you bumped it on 0:03 I was kinda shocked it was actually real. Impeccable work right there!

[@acolmeiafelizDT]

The way that feels like an live-action version of Robot Krabs, that looks so cool, 10/10

[@BigRigCreates]

Another banger from Austin

[@AustinBradley]

Thank you sir 🫡

[@The_Nailsmith]

Word of advice, one prop maker to another. If you go for a weathered and chipped look, take some steel wire with some silver rub and buff and use it to make micro scratches on it to make it look like there’s new scratches.

[@AustinBradley]

Awesome advice- I appreciate it!

[@jakefox555]

This is something no one asked for but everyone needed

[@SlickDiecast]

Why KZbin doesn’t promote this video and show it to more audience is beyond me. This is one of the coolest things that I’ve seen in a long time! I came from one of your reels on Instagram. Just wish KZbin would show or promote videos like these a lot more.

[@wildraheim4302]

How does this not have more views????

[@AustinBradley]

Small channel struggles 🤷🏻‍♂️ Thank you though!

[@PantfrogStudios-l2l]

maybe because this video just came out?

[@CheeseTree43]

They’ve been making those stop-motion SpongeBob specials, and if they brought robo-Krabs into the mix of those, I can imagine them going with the weathered look, too. In fact, your model looks pretty much ready for stop motion. Haha. Cool stuff!

[@Wooofooom]

the flicker of the eye helps sell the fact that its withered

[@AustinBradley]

Oh- Yes, yes. This was absolutely on purpose. Definitely just to add to the effect. Yes.

[@Sweettartgaming]

As a huge sponge bob fan, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! I really like the weathering. I feel that it makes it look better! You sir have a new subscriber!

[@ObjectoMenace]

The extra effort you went through with the sanding and then the weathering and chipping with the paint really made this dude!!! Incredible

Ok, first of all, I love nearly everything about this (outside of ai) & you did a phenomenal job with EVERYTHING! The only thing that I would different (outside of ai crab) would be to have the base be painted green to match the Krusty Krab floors. Seriously though, this is amazing!

[@AustinBradley]

I guess that’s a fair point (and it may have looked cooler), but most of the episode takes place in the kitchen, one of the only rooms with brown floors. I just went for episode accuracy on this one 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LincolnWorld]

That came out great! They have had some really cool statues, of characters from the show, at the Nickelodeon building over the years as well as custom statues made for movie premiers and special events. I wonder if you could pitch them hiring you to make a larger version of this, or something like it. I used to know Steve (the creator of show), since before he came up with the idea for the show. If he was still with us, I would have definitely sent this video to him. He would have loved it. Keep up the great work!

The algorithm took me here thinking you had like 100k subscribers, but come to find out you only have 13k?!? That’s unacceptable! You deserve so much more! This is absolutely incredible! I wish Nickelodeon could give you special permission to show us with the song…darn copyright 😩(I understand why of course, but this would have just been all cool if you could have added it in lol) But either way this is amazing! The weathered look is so well done and just gives so much more life to the design. I also never knew you could use toothpaste to add chipped details. I know artists use a masking liquid but toothpaste is just so much more cost effective lol This is an amazing design and deserves much more views! Very well done and I can tell just how much work and love went into making this! I really hope Nick sees this and sponsors you or something! I’m definitely following and can’t wait to see your next project!!

[@AustinBradley]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I appreciate it!! 😊

[@damnedtosuffer666]

you should add a voiceline to the robot for when you put in a penny to have it say "Self-destruct coin slot has been activated! Ten seconds til detonation!" Like in the original episode :P

[@josephmeluso2377]

Not gonna lie, I like the weathered look better than if it was a flat splash of color. Makes it feel like he's been developed for a long timne, or as old as the episode itself. Not to mention in "A New Leaf", Mr Krabs throws one of Plankton's traps into a storage closet with all of his other failed Krabby Patty snatching inventions, including this robot, which would certainly have wear over time and being underwater. Oh my gosh, this model poised underwater would be amazing and creepy at the same time, barring some Submechanophobics.

The one where Plankton puts the brain in the robot. Remember, "We shall never deny a guest even the most ridiculous request"

[@theplatypus221b]

I do have a question though, why did you go for an Led lightstrip? I feel it might be easier with a light at the base of the eyes, and you could possibly throw in some fiber optics for light drop off. Other than that, this is definitely one of my favorite builds on this channel. Love your work dude. Keep up the great work!
