Now that you’ve got mini skidi 2.0, you should do a whole series of mini construction equipment! How about a mini excavator?

[@PranayBhanushali]

Make this comment the top comment!

[@DrNabeel20]

YES.

[@clintfledderman8077]

yessss

[@piggasauros]

Or a mobile crane, that would be awesome

[@Evilslayer73]

Excellent idea!:)

[@jana171]

Finally someone is not just making more of those 3D figurines, impressive as they might be, they do get old. THIS kind of 3D printing, combined with cad drawing and RC electronics, is just so freaking cool, it should be available in any Toy/RC/hobby-store globally 🙂

[@elonmoishkrl8981]

Agreed!

[@kylelacour8607]

I love the idea of a series on mini construction equipment. My kid would go nuts over it. Well me too lol.

[@BQAggie2006]

Nice subtle shout-out on the auger. Not sure I have the time, but time will tell.

[@modhail6908]

I love these 3d printing and electronics/robotics projects! I'm just apprehensive about the electronics and rc parts of it, as I have zero hands-on experience with it.

[@mimade5700]

Just did 1 and 2! I think a desktop crane would be really cool to load my mini snacks into my mini skidsteer. Love the content!

[@andrewmcphee6825]

Amazing! Construction equipment is such a fun project series! Now you need a dump truck for the mini skidi!

[@professorboots]

i actually just finished the dump truck, I think you’ll like the video😂

[@crnlbwlawson]

Flipping awesome!!! This could be my winter project!

[@cnc-maker]

T-Rex Mini-Skidi Picking up the box sort of looked like a stop-motion video, which was really cool.

[@michaelmontgomery4748]

Would love to see more construction equipment! Maybe a dumptruck or a dozer Would like to see these in V3 A quick disconnect from your servo on bucket so various attachments can be used, forks for pallets, a stump grinder, auger, etc. It would than be helpful to use a servo wire extender and make a permanent servo connection point at the end of the lift arms for the second servo where the current wires come out. This could than be useful when switching implements so disassembly isn't required to rewire things. Love this project cant wait to see what else your cooking up!

[@banditboy1]

Building onto the quick disconnect, correct me if I’m wrong, but couldn’t you just add a magnetic connector so that if you had the bucket disconnected you could just back away from it and it would disconnect?

[@scottcarpenter6443]

I noticed that pretty early in the video myself, and I actually have the files pulled up right now on my computer looking at what it would take to add that to the arm and possibly a version of SSQA

[@michelefantini9414]

Dude this bad boy is cool, next step is substitute the shovel with the big brush for street cleaning! Btw amazing job!

[@Arthur-ky1nc]

Since I’m used to drive this thing on my parents’ farm since I was a kid, I would actually looove a series of tractors and trailers

[@Josstrigaming]

Honestly with all your electronics knowledge, it would be awesome to see you design a 3d printed 1lb combat robot.

[@noahorr3480]

Growing up i really wanted a Rokenbok set - this is so cool!

[@DavidAMcC]

You could add some peel and stick tire weights inside the rear hatch to counter balance the arm. The full size skid steer has a weight back there.

[@JankyEngineering]

Would love to see more construction equipment in the same scale as the miniskidi!

[@RutgerJonaker]

Wow ! A perfect autumn project for me. For future you might want to add a snow blade that can either be folding or just turning right or left

[@joshuamahon260]

I really want to do a mini battle bot. One you could use to battle with your friends! Great vid my dude! Keep up the good work.

[@user-de5co4sr6p]

Amazing work! Would be cool to see a big dumper truck so you could load it up with stuff using the mini skidi!

[@install_complete]

This dude constantly smiling. I love it and the mini Skidi. As a small town boy, how about a mini tractor or backhoe? If you do a tractor it'd be cool to see a hay bailer or something you pull behind!

[@salspec3381]

When I was a kid there was a cartoon called Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors. The toys were all these weird, but cool vehicles. Your skid with the claw reminded me of that. Those vehicles would be cool to reproduce.

[@adamhale6672]

I am going to jump on the construction equipment bandwagon and suggest that you make more mini toys. I have always wanted to print toy equipment for my nephews. I have one that is obsessed with garbage trucks, so add that to the lineup.

[@Austin-fc5gs]

I've already done 1 and 2, so i'd like to see an fpv version of this mini skidsteer. so cool!

[@kencccgs]

Was about to ask for the same stuff.

[@jacobswann7121]

Absolutely love the fact that this channel is fun inspirational and teaching is new thing KZbin needs more channels like this. Would love to see you build a ant weight battle bot

[@professorboots]

Definitely on my to do list!

[@jacobswann7121]

😁

[@timothychristensen2205]

I've been designing my own 3d printed rc car and your journey has taught me several things.

[@carexe51]

It's a very nice build, takes a lot of time and was worth it. I bet he made it to take some things off his mind.

[@nevenlukic]

Sir, that is a certified sick mini skidsteer. Wheelie's lookin nice. Amazing video!

[@professorboots]

😂 if it isn’t Mr. Wheelie man himself. Thank you!

[@thedlc7784]

This was awesome. A dump truck for the skid steer to load would be awesome

[@dwang085]

So awesome! Kit ordered! Would love to see an overhead crane

[@zachwood473]

I think a articulated dump truck would be really cool. Of course a bulldozer too

[@viko207]

Great stuff, looking forward to your next project. Forklift is something that comes to my mind.

[@avrprograms]

Dude, nice work with the new version and dedicated Idea. I had a fantastic learning experience.

[@Pedistrarian]

Neat, can't wait to see what kind of other mini construction equipment you come up with.

[@JF743]

What I'd love to see is a V2.1 with analog controls using a drone receiver and paired to a 4+ Channel radio.

[@truehybridx1]

Mini or larger excavator would pose some interesting actuator constraints to work with… plus plenty of room for the core electronics

[@sambuildsstuff]

Awesome project and super inspiring! As a next project you can make a dump truck to go with the SkidSteer!

[@sebsafari]

Would like to see a ski lift! Maybe for a holiday decoration?

[@aiden5899]

I think the next project should either be a dump truck (like on of those articulating ones) or a digger. That would be pretty cool to see

[@asphaltjunkie2373]

A Mini front loader would be awesome as well as a mini tractor with a trailer to carry the stuff you pick up

[@jk_2023.]

I think that a video where you create an underwater rover that can clean a pool would definitely be pretty sick

[@toddsampson3389]

This is exactly what I was looking for. Ordered your kit!

[@leeretzlaff909]

Now you need something for the skid steer to fill! A mini dump truck would be really cool! An interesting challenge would be the lift cylinder.

[@bellbo45]

RC DrillTank or RC Submarine!! Brilliant

[@Trex76us]

I want to play with the little skid steer! Good job on it.

[@ryan.graham]

A 3d printed robotic arm would be cool, like the ones you see in car automation factories, but like a desktop one to hand you your pen or a coffee or something!!

[@yettifpv4866]

Version 2.0 came out great with some quality improvements. I agree with a lot of other people that we need more construction equipment. Either a dump truck or an excavator would be sweet

[@minzatcatalin6196]

So cute! Make a cutie little tractor now. A classic one

[@danielsetzer9295]

Get some lead car tire balance weights and stick them on the back for counter balance. The real thing uses a huge solid steel plate, but small lead weights in that rear hatch would sure help alot.

[@Tee-np1fc]

Great vid! Love the mini skiddy! Needs a dump truck and trailer to go with it.

[@lightningboi8802]

I really like the new range of motion with V2.0! For the next iteration, you should make an algorithm to allow automated tasks like digging or moving stuff with a programmable path and task.

[@ub_tv3745]

Just the project I was looking for! Really like the channel, keep the projects coming.

[@izaaks3213]

Your Visio is amazing. There isn’t a lot of rc heavy equipment so it is great to see one you can make yourself. I think it would be really cool to see an rc backhoe. Once again great video.

[@KohleCoke]

I think a really cool challenge to do would be some railroad Maintenance of Way equipment. A hi-rail excavator would be a good start!

[@hendr13x]

Thats pretty awesome mate. well done! a self charging and emptying robotic vacuum would be a good challenge for net time

[@andrewmo49]

Amazing project. Can’t wait to make this with my grandson

[@alexsgocart]

KZbin recommendations freakin deliver. This is so cool! Subbed! Can't wait to see more!

[@rty0m]

Really cool video! Hope your channel gets the recognition it deserves

[@alaskaboy14]

I know it would be super hard but a backhoe would be so amazing. This project is awesome, thanks for sharing.

[@major751]

First time finding you. Awesome video and project! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next

[@bowieinc]

Another idea. Create some 3D printed objects for a “trials course” and define an official boundary size so we all could compete for best times.

[@bowieinc]

I’m bummed, I re-read my comment you ❤’d above and I noticed I put “object”, instead of “objects”. I edited and fixed which caused the comment to loose the heart you gave. Now I’ll have to find some other way to get validation today, lol. Side note, I ordered a kit from you. Very excited. I’m sure you are a little overwhelmed, but don’t sweat the back order times or any jerks. You are doing great, try not to over do it to where it’s no longer fun and you get burnt out. Comment ending, I’m removing my “dad hat” now:).

[@FlyingWalrus100]

I agree with the comment about making a series on mini construction equipment!

[@semmoney5686]

Make something based of Caterpillar machines. they have a big inventory and you will forsure find inspiration to build for the future projects. Maybe like a 3D crane with cables to like lift the skidsteer onto a lego building top. Would be really cool a downscaled crane with 3D parts and small electronics. Also because a crane is bigger than the skid, you can easy fit multiple strong servo`s and other tech to make it work and performe with power. All the best for upcoming projects ! Good channel

[@sarge1178]

I imagine RCSparks would be interested in this...

[@buyingvlog]

Like it. Cad program looks nice as well.

[@438fpv]

would be cool to see a trailer and maybe a tow rig, to take the mini skiddy to the different jobs

[@Yourcarrot-xc5ru]

When I heard you say your doing a give away for 3000 subscribers I thought I misheard you because this content is just as good as big creators like RCtestflight and the editing of the video is amazing.you deserve way more. also you should make a dump truck with work dumper so you could use the mini skiddi to pick up sand and pour it into the dump truck and it could drive away

[@jadentalks5068]

I was scrolling and this came up it is a work of art.

[@professorboots]

Why thank you!

[@jellybeanpowder]

This is my kind of engineering! First time seeing one of your videos. You've earned yourself another subscriber and buyer of your stuffs.

[@jeremypalmer5695]

This is a super cool project. Reminds me so much of my Anki Vector Robot that is now brain dead because the company went bankrupt. I always loved his ability to use a charging pad. Not sure if autonomous vehicles are your thing, but with your skills you could make a really cool little desk pet that is maybe solar powered and seeks out light to charge itself. Also I used to have an RC forklift and it was loads of fun to play with and this project brings back memories of that fun time. Looking forward to your next upgrade/project.

[@babeloebie]

So cool! I would love too see you try to make a mini tractor with mower equipment😊

[@facundoalberro4791]

Next project should be a mini excavator to complete the fleet! Great work!

[@davidpodeszwa7010]

youtube just recommended me this video out of nowhere and i loved it. i just subbed and i have to say, you deserve more subscribers

[@logan_kes]

“I’m a seasoned mini skidi driver” I think you mean IM MINI SKIDI CERTIFIED

[@JamesGames.]

Cool project. Would be neat to see other construction equipment. If you want a really challenging robotics project, make a vehicle that transforms into a robot.

[@PauliJuppi]

Amazing project! Very well documented and displayed. I think I need to buy(or win ;) one for my son next birthday. Keep up the good work 👍

[@madcrazy69able]

Mini construction equipment. That would be amazing.

[@KEMBOIVICK]

Amazing video not to mention educational too picked up a few pointers keep at it may be an autonomous version if possible 😁😁

[@ttpechon2535]

Extremely cool! Just found your channel and it's awesome! I'm in the process of making an RC BRDM. (Btw, skidsteers are really fun to drive)

[@219nate]

This is sick! I'd love to see a little desk robot friend!

[@kholdsworth27]

I'd like to see mini tipper to go along with this little beast. Something like mining truck proportions. Great work, and keep iterating

[@KiyoshiKatu]

Just need to add some ballast to the bottom/back of the Mini Skiddy to get more lifting power out of it! Very cool video, glad I clicked on it. Awesome to see you so excited about projects like this. As for a future robotics project, I think it would be neat to follow the theme a bit and do more construction equipment, but with the twist of making some of the very early cable driven heavy equipment, like an old steam shovel, just to mix it up a little! Can't wait to see what you end up making. Keep it up!

[@neilyboy]

Fantastic! Continue this series with a forklift 😊

[@marcuspagel]

So happy to see this channel growing! A project I'd love to see is you starting to get into water/underwater craft. You have already covered air and land. Time to move on to water! (then fire 🔥😈 )

[@gibsonf06]

I’d love to see a robotic boat or submersible project! Would definitely be a challenge on a small scale I tried to build a mini skid steer from scratch and it didnt quite go to plan, this thing looks very polished!

[@Badminkey7]

This is super cool!! The modular possibilities!

[@GJToken]

So, suggestion for version 2.1 - some kind of hollow "backpack" to add ballast/weights into to counter balance heavy loads on the bucket - a electronics cover that simulates a drivers cab

[@JeffreySiler]

I love your videos Man I’m so happy that you shared them all with us 💶💶💶🔋🔋🔋

[@MrFox_Adventures]

I would love to see more on the controller side of things, like how to pre-program set tasks for the skiddi or how to make it work with dedicated controllers instead of the phone. Overall love the channel and look forward to whatever you make next.

[@Ryan_Tidwell]

This is super cool. Idea for a future video: Small fighting robots that have targeted points that disable parts of the robot. Epic robot battles would be awesome!!!

[@fdtank81]

Very nice Definitely making one of these

[@MrWayash]

Great video! A simple remote that can control the skidsteer would be awesome imo!

[@banditboy1]

I’d love to see a front end loader, I don’t believe it would be very hard since it’s very similar to the functions a skid steer has just larger. I work in construction and have printers and would love to see a full set! I am going to print this and add it to my semi truck and trailer I designed so that I can haul it around! Thank you for all you do!!

[@tinyduck3195]

I love this new design, it would be cool to see a bull dozer in the future!

[@GSpacmanvice]

I'd love to see a 3d printed mini arcade cabinet. It's something I'm going to work on once my 3D Printer comes in!

[@willl84]

Just ordered a kit! Time to start printing!

[@paco3346]

Now I want a POV camera mounted in the cab and a desktop application with joysticks so I can do yard work from the comfort of my A/C.

[@professorboots]

Now that does sound nice

[@Rongoooooooo]

Such a cool project. I think a 3D printed submarine or boat would be really cool and a gun challenge.

[@retrotellephone]

A tracked excavator would definitely be cool with all the joints and rotation.

[@timohueff6828]

That is auch an awesome invention. I would Like to see you make some vehicles with tracks Like an excavator or a Tank that is relatively capable Offroad . 👍

[@drawin4753]

Now you should make something like a JCB Pivoting Dumper, could be cool
