I may have jinxed it... - Life Size Rock'em Sock'em Robots Part 2

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

Gosh, this brings back so many memories for me! Love the project. The insertion of the rail during the print is pretty cool. Gives me some ideas.

[@bytesizedengineering]

I have enjoyed watching your videos over the years

[@PatrickHoodDaniel]

@@bytesizedengineering Thanks!I can't believe I was not served your content as this is exactly what I love watching!

[@bearsstuff]

This was so much fun. Reminds me of Stuff Made Here. I can't imagine such large prints. Looking forward to the next one.

[@BruceAUlrich]

It is pretty funny when the head pops up. ha ha. These are looking really cool!

[@JonathanRansom]

Those flute parts always crack me up. 😂

[@bytesizedengineering]

I need to expand my repertoire. I only know that one scale. Time to start practicing

[@JonathanRansom]

😂

[@September_Stretch]

Looks like a fun build! Can’t wait to see it complete! I also enjoyed the Peter Piper bit.

[@SatansLtlBaby]

points for flute gag

[@TheIronHeadRat]

That’s great, thanks for sharing 👍

I’m doing a rock em sock ‘em myself as a project for my school, where the movements are translated from a gyroscope/accelerometer that the user manipulates in a gauntlet. I’m building the thing and would be super handy to have the 3D model of the robots

[@buildersmark]

Is there a BOM and code for this project? Would like to build this for fun.

[@cameronreid8383]

It looks like the 3d printer was able to bridge that gap no problem. I'm not totally sure the extrusion actually did anything there

[@CaptM44]

Do you think the IMU will give false readings from its own punches?

[@bytesizedengineering]

You know, I hadn't considered this. I'm hoping to be able to distinguish between punches by looking at the data

[@famousamoso7]

Love your videos. Something with this project I noticed is the punches hit the chest area vs the original where they are more upper cuts. Will you be changing the design to mimic that or keep it the same?

[@bytesizedengineering]

You know I thought a lot about this. You are correct, on the original toy the punches are more uppercut style. From what I can tell most of them land on the chest, but if one hits the chin it pushes it back just far enough to release it from the clip and the head pops up. Ultimately, I decided that I want my punches to hit the chest because I can make that more robust. I don't want heavy punches hitting the head because it will bend the rod in the pneumatic cylinder. I'd rather avoid that expensive failure!

[@famousamoso7]

@@bytesizedengineering Makes sense to me. I look forward to the next video. :)

Leak checking pneumatics - water with some dish soap in it is your friend. Pref in one of those squeazy bottles with a nozzle. Put a bit of water around the interface points and if it bubbles up you got a leak.

[@bytesizedengineering]

That's exactly what I did! I used a syringe cuz it's what I had on hand. Great tip. Thanks for sharing!

[@CBWP]

I'm confused if you want to appear professional or not. You didn't have to show that clip of tapping the extruded end, but you did. You didn't have the part clamped so you could use the tap with both hands and you were really wobbly... I'm just curious about the impression I am supposed to have. I don't care. Wobble away. Whatever works I still like what you do. I was just wondering.

Who else’s has seen the show Prototype This?

[@bytesizedengineering]

Awesome show

[@FortisVoluntas]

i wonder if there comes sometimes a Video, wich is not a hole advertising show for Digikey with this stupid invideo Placements every 2 seconds , bambu ect ect ect.
