Portal 2 | Wheatley's Chassis and Stewart Platform

Alright alright, let's get down to building Wheatley IRL ok? Personality Cores, Spheres, etc, are essential robotic stewards of Aperture Labs in Portal and Portal 2 and are required to modify GLaDOS's unruly behavior. I've already built a prototype of her head, so cores are the logical next step! They're plausible mechanically, but I will have to make some compromises so that things aren't floating and clipping through each other. This is the second video where I explain the elements of his inner eye and his eyelids.

Tried a longer, more casual format for this video. What do you think about this editing style? What parts would you like to see more of?

[@alfonsoromero659]

This editing style is definitely more dynamic, I really like it, keep up the good work :)

[@thatmidlerfgamer5069]

I like it it’s beautiful

[@Doorjelly]

Much enjoy the longer video

[@jockdouglass3824]

I would like to see tf2 stuff.

[@mooney9690]

I liked the longer video

[@EchoFoEvah]

I'm waiting for this series to go from this to "Building a giant underground Aperture science lab from portal!".

[@CloudyyKots]

can't wait 'til he buys the salt mines!

@@MrVolt lol hey if you ever need a programmer to make you a wheetly ai. I'm your guy hit me up

[@endersquid1132]

not sure how many abandoned mines are for sale but I'm sure he could find one

[@dristosreadingcorner8966]

I love how this is like a prototype Wheatley that’s based in the realms of reality. I think the excuse for Wheatley having impossible things in him like his eyelids disappearing and such can be chocked up to Aperture being crazily advanced.

[@TimoIvvie]

Valve: Wheatley’s eyelids are impossible!!! Don’t make him!!! Literally everyone: no were doing it anyways

Wheatley moving his eye in, and out looked like he was dancing, and it made me happy.

[@gromblereal]

I swear this guy is cave Johnson’s grandson

[@IndependentOreo]

It’s midnight but I am okay with staying up later for this

[@randomplayer7798]

Same here

[@lmsproductions7400]

I think one of the reasons he’s shaking around a lot is because of where he’s mounted In the games he’s either on a rail with the mounting point being on the very top or the whole back of him is fixed to the glados body Still overall loving the build and the best of luck with the project going forward

[@kowhaifan1249]

👍

[@KIA-qv7ez]

Once its done you should do a "glados meets wheatley" video

[@MrVolt]

For sure!

[@Davedarko]

Just had a day dream, where you had a booth at a maker faire and I'm there too and yell "yeeeeesssss!!!" and everyone is looking at me and then I can say "I know him, he's a friend from work!"

[@MrVolt]

Haha, this WILL happen. I also love that you made yourself Thor in this context :P

[@Davedarko]

@@MrVolt you're the one being chanted for by the big crowd ;)

[@kiwicat1]

So Wheatley can run doom, but the real question is, can he run Crisis?

[@tubbyqueen]

Can Wheatley run minecraft?

[@NinjaFCL]

One thing i know for sure, he can't run Aperture

[@Ethan_zox]

@@NinjaFCL Nice one

[@booderso]

Spaaaaace!

[@Doorjelly]

The algorithm gave me the last Wheatley video and I binged the rest of your channel and subbed. Keep up the great work 👍

[@MrVolt]

Thank you!

[@memor22]

„WOOOOHOOO im huge! Im blody massive its not just me? I am masive!”

[@stekra3159]

So that VESA mount is basically his management rail adapter

[@SugarsnapCaely]

That's really fascinating! I didn't know about a Stewart Platform! I'd always assumed the "poles" (what I've seen them called in the community before) would be impossible. It's really cool to hear they actually based it on a real-life thing! I'm always excited to see a new episode, and I look forward to more in the furture! ^^

[@MrVolt]

Glad you could learn something! Thank you!

[@opaiescents]

i'm SO excited to see updates on this lad, i've been hoping for a real life animatronic wheatley since... practically the release of the game now o_o i'm so stoked to see the progress continuing, keep up the fantastic work!!!

[@MrVolt]

Thanks Opalescent!

[@teh_supar_hackr]

I've been wanting to see one more accurate to the game mechanics wise since the game came out too. I remember seeing this Wheatley puppet that looked exactly like in the game that you could move with your hand and other things.

[@Andraszingst]

Fun fact : aperture employes neded to work with Computers from the 90,s and its impresive they even made robots with them

[@tydshiin5783]

Humans can accomplish so much if they really tried I guess

[@lexiisntthatsmart]

[@128Cores]

Bro you edited your comment.

[@thathappyguy152]

1:39 as a star trek fan i love this lol

[@troenxer4139]

The fact that makes channel great that he actually puts a lot of effort in these videos , and doesn't throw random painted plastic pieces together. I'm very exited for project, Keep it up!

[@Her_Imperious_Condescension]

That was the most refreshing sponsor segment I've seen in a while. Just a short, sweet, "go buy their stuff".

[@LittleBiscuit]

God, I wish I had this skill. Genuinely incredibly thrilled to see Portal content come to life other than the portal gun valve sold awhile ago. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@hirathemedicbird523]

I love how in the game In the director's commentary They say that's WHEATLEYs design is physically impossible saying that theres no where for the eyelids to go etc. Glad we got someone to prove them wrong

[@rcmac206]

I love seeing all these CRTs in the background, I have an absolute love for these things

[@Hyperion_640]

When they are all completely finished you should make glades and Wheatley just randomly start arguing with each other

[@oswaldhomolka]

These videos hit the perfect spot between high budget and low budget for me. Not quite Logan Paul (Thank god) and not quite a crappy vlog made by a seven year old. Too high a budget can easily make a KZbinr feel artificial but this feels completely human. All the little mistakes in speech or the part where he tries to explain how the frame goes together while holding the camera just makes it feel a lot more KZbin. This doesn't feel like a tv show and thats a good thing. Fine job, my man.

[@MrVolt]

I reaaaally appreciate this feedback. This is exactly the balance I want to strike and it's impossible for me to tell on my own :)

[@trashcantyoutube2089]

When you’re done with this thing you’re probably going to be featured on Daily Dose of Internet.

[@MrVolt]

That would be cool!

[@shadowbot6727]

You did well on the design on Whitley chest and inside I wonder what part 4 is going to be

[@realtimestatic]

I hope your channel blows up so you'll have more money in the future for future builds. It would be amazing to see you build this stuff full scale

[@evanpie711]

I am so glad Os that I saw this on my notifications. also, I am so excited to see the project keep it going :D

[@megabyte2711]

Actually you should do it like in portal which is GLaD

This is so cool and i love the star trek refrance

[@ovecka17]

Personally, I like these longer project videos in addition to the recap video at the end, and I'd like that to be the format for future projects, but obviously I can't speak for anyone else on that matter

[@pnwscitech1589]

Thanks PNW SciTech! That would be awesome.

[@deadlock1125]

I like your "вместе мы сила" poster on the wall

[@wetgymsocks8739]

I would love to see you eventually do something with the turrets from both of the Portal games, I love them to death. Like, you know those Pop'N Step toys? And the easter egg of the turrets in Portal 2 singing with each other? Imagine the possibilities! (P.S, I've been binging your videos and it's criminal how low your sub count is, your robots are really really cool! Excited to see Wheatley in action once he's complete!

Here’s a project suggestion/ request: The Poltergust from Luigi’s mansion! It doesn’t matter which of the 3 versions, because I know that the g-00 is ambitious, but then again, you built freakin’ GLaDOS. Mad props for that.

[@InevitableRob]

Bro this looks sick!

Thanks Jimmy! 100% Mr. Volt design. (well, I made it for the Element14 Presents channel), but it is my own. This one has a camera and is just static. I need to update it to be motorized though!
