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,

YouTube is weird the way it displays/suggests videos to people. It does it by trending. Meaning, the more views your video gets the more people it’ll show it to. But that’s a chicken and egg because you need them to show the video to get more views.... ugh
The way you tubers generally work is having their videos posted externally. YouTube rewards content creators for bringing new users to YouTube. So if you can post your videos elsewhere on websites, it’ll increase views and YouTube will give you love
I’ve never focused on YouTube as being a validator for my efforts. Mainly because I’ve never considered myself having much social media influence. But, I did learn that about YouTube when I would share my videos by posting them on other websites.
for example, I had accounts on every robot forum I could think of. And I would post a video sharing the robot I made. I did that for years until my company grew and it became a conflict of interest.
so ya, I’d recommend doing that
post it on forums everywhere. The worse they can do is delete it - but why would they? Because they want content to
Once again a perfect job Will. Do you plan to use a camera to interact with people?
Will, Proteusy has a cool idea. Once you have everything running it would be wild to have it recognize the person and ask if they want the "usual". I look forward to the continuing videos. You alway share ideas which we can use on our robots. Thanks.
Yeah there is a camera in the center of his chest. I filmed installing it but it didn’t make the cut of this last video. I’ll cover it in part 6.
Use the cognitive face to recognize the person. That’ll be awesome
Here is a pic of the cut scene installing the camera.Just got back from beach house and Thanksgiving with family so now I can reply from computer..instead of phone.

Yeah I'm taking about finding print services from guys with printers in their garages. Many people set up print shops in spaces in their homes with 20 or 30 printers, forming a print farm. The 3D print Hub used to be a service to help you find such places, but later they dropped individuals from the service. Hey I found something for you to do to your empty dock area in back of your warehouse! LOL.But with my cold casting and molding system, 3d printing is not really needed beyond my prototypes. All parts are high temperature epoxy shells. Much stronger and durable compared to 3d printed parts and plastic mold injection.
Oh it did. I have thousands of emails to Robomodix asking where to buy one to prove that statement wrong. The problem was producing a version that was cost effective to the consumer. Absolutely not and would violate the last comment..."not being cost effective to mass produce to consumers." Have them send me product to test with...lol - i don't think they'd send you a free product because I know them
Darn - too bad the projects you're building can't be sold hmmm. Is it something that you're considering doing eventually? Is made a product that can sell?
