A Youtube Channel Called Reel Robots

So what is next? As some of you know I've been throwing around the idea of a robotics Youtube channel. The notion of giving back my knowledge to the community via YouTube is intriguing. At the very least, the channel will result in a repository of videos showing current robot technology, 3D tools, and how I to use them to build robots. The channel also allow me to explore the hundreds of robot ideas in my head. Every robot build will consist of several episodes to complete (approx 6 to 8 episodes) and will be released bi-monthly. The channel will be rebranded as "REEL ROBOTS" ("REEL" as in a movie reel, as most of my robots, will look as though they stepped out of a movie) and will launch in May 2020. Robots are expensive to build as you all know, and support will be paramount. The success of this endeavor will in part be by interest, viewer participation, sponsors, merch, affiliate links, and Patreon members.  If you are not yet a subscriber, please stop by my YouTube channel and subscribe its free! .

All the best,

Will

Update..lol...so I had a "oh noooo" moment today, that has put me behind a bit. I was hoping for a Tuesday release, but looks like might be a few more days beyond that. When I started this robot build I was three weeks ahead on my episodes, but the arms (which I had not yet figured out) turned out to be a beast to design and execute in the small spaces I provided myself. LOL. I managed to pull it off but I am many months behind. Hopefully all the other robots will be fully envisioned before I start adding episodes to YouTube...and probably should not have started with a 6 foot 3 inch (190 cm) robot! Doh!

I just watched episode 4 Will. and it is exceptional.  I  put a notice at the Imoov facebook site,although your next video may attract more interest as making inmoov robots with autonomous capabilities has a lot of interest for inmoov builders.  Your design capabilities has me floored, I wish I had just a small amount of your talent.

Thank very much!

YAY ! Loved watching that. So many cool parts went into building those arms. Which 3d printer have you been using? I see the Robo3D one in the back ground, is it any good? So wish I had more time to make such cool improvements in my current design. Looking forward to next time:)

Great segment, great work, a true robot builder :-)

Are you using the same setup as Dave for the voice / lights?
