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
Hey everyone. Just an update on this thread. I am rebranding the channel "Reel Robots" instead of remarkable robots. Since I build robots that look like cinema style robots i've used "Reel" as in film reel and actual real robots that do something.
I broke my foot over the holiday and am behind quite a bit. Prolly won't be until February before first episode is done.
....picking Perry. I am being nagged by the bot to pick a 'resolved question' and Perry was first to chime in. I so dislike this nagging. I say either create a discussion part to this forum, or include the option for questions or comment when creating a thread.
Hi Will, Sorry to hear about your foot. Hope you heal quickly. Thanks for the update. Your Reel Robot title is great and does fit your style. I look forward to the series. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year.
Will, I love the new title and the play on words. I'm really looking forward to the start of your production. I know it's a big undertaking with lots of prep and production work. However this show biz stuff is now in your blood after all these years and it's apparent that you love it. All the better for us. LOL.
OUCH on the foot man! That had to hurt. I hope everything heals straight and true with little pain.
You've hit on one of my (few) peeves about this forum. No real way to start a basic discussion thread. I agree, it would be nice to be able to have a Discussion topic added to the few choices in the "Short Cut" list.
I am also sorry about your foot, but try not to kick robots anymore, they can Hurt.

lol, Big tall bots made out of metal really can hurt, esp when they fall on you...
Sorry to hear about your foot. Hope it heals quickly. Regarding the discussion section of the forum, I brought this up months ago (I think in the Synthiam introduction thread, although can't locate it now). DJ's answer was that it was such a small percentage of the total conversations that it wasn't worth having its own section, but maybe if we all ask we can get him to change his mind. (I also still wish we had private messaging. Sometimes you just want to tell someone something out of the public eye. I put my email in my profile for that, but not everyone does).
