The BALANCING BOOMBOX ROBOT you always wanted | with LG XBOOM Go Speakers

[@madscience76]

A lot of KZbinrs do sponsorship stuff, but you knocked this one out of the park. Pretty sure the overlords at LG are pleased with their investment, they should be. Brilliant robot!

[@vincierobotics8607]

most KZbinrs would just mention the product at the beginning and at the end of a video but he made a two-part series building a robot practically from scratch!

[@Marci124]

I wonder what parts of the agreement came from LG and what parts from James. If it was some PR person from LG that started it, they have a keen eye for promotion. Also note the general lack of dishonesty.

[@samuellockwood9518]

@@Marci124 may I ask how is he dishonest .

[@vincierobotics8607]

@@Marci124 I bet LG wanted James to just make a super simple robot but he took it a step further. James seems like that type of guy.

[@BryceSchroeder]

I propose a change to the KZbin TOS: that all maker channels receiving sponsorship shall be required to build the sponsor's product into a robot.

[@JohannesLauesen]

Simpler than your normal builds but surprisingly appealing, the speaker as eyes really works well.

[@clydesight]

Your best robot EVER! You have GOT to take it to cosplay or other conventions, people will love it! And LG should be REAL happy with your robot too - it shows off the speakers brilliantly! Great video!

[@tomthebadasscat]

LG most probably owns the robot now for their promotions. Not positive but more than likely.

[@hajmola7605]

Have you watched opendog?

[@samuellockwood9518]

He usually does take all his creations to conventions

That's the best speaker advertisement ever

Looks like the robot was having fun

[@3DigitalCooks]

Best AD ever, dont need a speaker, but kinda want one now

[@mooj0101]

This will instantly become the heart of any party 😀

[@samuellockwood9518]

Surely it will

[@Aristo12]

The robot got some moves!

[@turutzi]

The dancing scene at the end remind me strong at the dancing scene out of Short Circuit.

[@Ladytron]

James. This is your best design! I like it a lot!

[@samuellockwood9518]

Basic but i like it

[@dafoex]

I have an old game from years ago, Star Wars Droidworks, and for whatever reason you could make your droids dance. I so wish I could see this dancing to that music from the game. Nostalgia would go through the roof!

[@dafoex]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKq7q3VsiriKr8U For reference

[@Getwright-]

You know, I can honestly say This really makes me want to buy those speakers more than any other kind of advertisement would have lol. Hes like a cooler, smaller Johnny-5 hed be great at a party.

[@Mikesukes]

The magnetic attachment panels are brilliant! Great idea James.

[@mSparks43]

My favourite project so far.

[@garagemonkeysan]

Your robot dances better than John Travolta. : ) Clever shoulder joint. Great video. Cheers! : )

[@Fagorio]

For normal youtuber this would be the build of a year for James it's just another friday build. He make like it's casual X_X

[@MarcosSRibeiro]

the robot dancing was amazing kkkk

[@HugoPeeters]

This robot has better dance moves than I have...

[@lokthelok]

It would be cool to see if you can tune the PID controllers (proportional gain perhaps?) to increase or decrease the back and forth oscillation frequency when there are no control inputs. You could use a mic with some DSP to find the beat, and have it rock back and forth in time to the beat!

[@samuellockwood9518]

That be amazing but not sure if he will

[@MollyWi]

The more I see this robot, the more I want those speakers!! Damn! I am susceptible to advertising after all... damn you LG!!

[@hasancakir8932]

Do the robot party at the end of each project!

[@dogastus]

Congrats on making such an excellent way of showing off those LG speakers - they must be well pleased with what you have done.

[@CrashDy]

LG should hire someone to drive this robot around in their office and at conventions.

[@martine9868]

I honestly think this is one of your best projects and I could actually see it becoming commercially available. Excellent job James.👍

[@24-dinitrophenylhydrazine29]

the disco dance part is hilarious

[@ThingsMadeOfOtherThings]

PLEASE do a video with the Boombox robot, Robot-X and openDog all dancing to disco music!

[@tanmaywho]

Sir you are GENIUS.

[@smh1448]

It looks nice at the end. I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!

[@Will_Huff]

Not sure why but this is one of my favorite robots you built and it seemed like a fast build. I’d like to see you build more balancing robots.

[@wilezekiel5773]

Just as the bot balances on two weeks, this project balances on two episodes

[@mixedreality7699]

Love the ending (shades of Short Circuit in there) - superb build!

[@Dale-sj6ru]

Having flash backs to the dancing with Bender episode. ;-)

[@10p6]

I like the LG advertisement, I mean Robot LOL. That's a lot of 3D printing. Now if you only add a 'Follow me' mode, and it can carry luggage, Gold clubs or shopping :-)

[@machine2747]

Best balancing robot I've seen. Awesome job!!

[@vladthe_cat]

4:07 OMG BIG RED BUTTON I WANNA PRESS IT

[@spikekent]

In a word Epic!. I love this and would even like to build it one day.

[@1894db]

Put a tray stabilized to always be level on its boombox head and you'd have a robotic Alfred LOL

[@j.r.qwertz]

Finally an awesome and working project!

[@ivanmarvilla7143]

Wow :o arm magnet !!

[@tanjiro3285]

Awesome but feeling little bad ☹️ for the static hands of the robot

[@normietwiceremoved]

I always look forward to james' power stance every time I watch a new video

[@richardbloemenkamp8532]

This is a great build. This worked out really well. Keep it up.

[@jamesbruton]

Thanks!

[@zzord]

The disco bit was epic! :D

[@BlargVison]

This is the next generation of DJ Roomba

[@ArnaudMEURET]

Perfectly wrapped ! I suspect however that the BOM for this one must be pretty hefty with all the luxury components.

[@RupertBruce]

Fantastic work!

[@jamesbruton]

thanks!

[@scott2116]

Awesome build. Please add a dynamic dance feature that is driven by the music it is playing. Hope to see this at future LG expo's.

[@Francois_Dupont]

very slick design.

[@TacoMaster3211]

The shape of the head, and the position of the eyes kind of remind me of Rosie, from The Jetsons.

[@stevenmarques3829]

James, my name is Steven, and you're a big inspiration to me, I'm from Brazil, I'm sorry English, but I hope you know that in your videos you always motivated me to keep doing robotics, programming, building things. Me and my team called: Th3 H4ck3rs, we will participate in a soccer competition, with a goalkeeper and a striker, and in the construction of the robots and the goalkeeper who is in C I was inspired by you, I am very grateful for all that have you been doing a hug James

[@willisblair00]

Awesome job James!

[@rendermandan2820]

YES!!! I love this project, I think I'm going to have to make something like this.

[@infokoolerquest2182]

Still my hero!

[@crosser1932]

Could you make a self balancing not with legs? Like Ascento? That would be sooo awesome!!!

[@richardboyce4921]

Great project, I think I need one... lol, Would be interesting to know the actual cost to build...

[@klerulo]

Last balancer I tried, I found it helped a lot to mount the accelerometer with rubber cushions. As the motors engage to react to drift, they jerk the robot and it has trouble tracking Down.

[@baurzhanakbarakov5071]

thanks for the idea, I'll try it on my project

[@crazystuffproduction]

add some leds and a defuser panel to the body to make it glow

[@makeradd3494]

Think you will make the code open for this? I would love to make one to carry my tool bag at the museum I work at.

[@steveburley3738]

Brilliant James!!!!!!

[@dco5055]

You should use the arms to help balance for a quicker recovery when it starts to lose balance from like a push backwards it extends them forward.

[@cerberes]

Great build James!

[@knightmedia1]

Would be great if those disco light emitters were actually on the robot, would add to the effect somewhat.......great video, thanks for sharing with us :-)

[@jean-charlesdumas5722]

Hi James, you designs are awesome! What bearing did you use on the shoulder hub? I was just looking for something similar.

[@matthewmillaisgray]

Dear James, great fun build and video- The many great responses is really encouraging. Absolutely enjoyed the magnetic arms and panels! Have you reached a criteria limit in your brief from LG? Is say, the idea of animating with interchangeable arms and getting the 'hands' to actually function with greater practicality perhaps wirelessly something you'd be interested in developing and packing with more servos and electronics? Would that be too much over engineering? Whatever you decide to do there' something really appealing in this project as it stands of course! Thanks mate for sharing as you do! Is inspiring. Traditional greetings from the Cape of Good Hope peninsula SA

[@seafax]

If I could buy the STL's and a set of build instructions for than robot I wouldn't hesitate for a second.

[@imbb14]

Come on James. You make this look sooooo easy to do ...lol I wondering what could be a challenge for you to build nowdays. Rocket? Gundam? Dipsy danger? Insect robot with an organic moviment.

[@bbogdanmircea]

This is your best robot ever. And I think not so difficult to make also for others. What do you recommend would be the cost of the hardware? Should it work also with some cheaper Motors and drivers?

[@My_Way.44]

You should add one more future in too it .the dancing mode

[@rhy_breadgaming6405]

James please make the infinity gauntlet

[@john914]

love it!

[@QBiks]

It's by no doubt an awesome balancing robot and I had fun watching this and the previous video but there is one thing that bothers me: Why did you use an ARDUINO MEGA for just a remote control??? You could have used an Arduino pro-micro or even an ATTiny based controller. I can see that you have a good budget and good tools so you are not limited, but despite that it bothers me.

[@34-sparshprasad8a6]

Wow its awesome... It's over or some more videos will come for this robot

[@nevernether3368]

My favorite part is when it danced

[@Gary-bf5ks]

You should have a built-in parking stand for when it is just sitting.

[@wtcamer]

Are you trying to trick James into making a sexbot? xD

[@BlaiseBarrette]

Hi James, I'd like to start by saying that you are an inspiration for all of us makers out there! I am a mentor in a FIRST robotics team. We are planing on building our on driving station and these joysticks you use look really good four our project. Could you share a link to where you found them? Thank you for your inspiring videos!

[@MrMelichor]

Is there any chance you might do an episode or two on installing a Roomba level of AI in maybe this robot or a BB-8? I think it would be cool to see some of your creations move autonomously

[@kamiellacayse8311]

Awsome channel ❤❤

[@Robothut]

Great job ! Thank you for sharing.
