Botmatrix Youtube Channel
Hi Guys & Gals!
I wanted to let you all know that after a long hiatus I'm spinning up my Youtube channel again! I'm shifting over to my new alias: Botmatrix. From here on in the channel will be dedicated to this awesome community and will continue to be a place where I share my electronics and robotics side projects. The content will be mostly hardware related with a lot of ARC & ARC (mobile) interaction.
I have a number of Project Showcases in the queue that I'd like to share and a few tutorials I'd like to do (I still owe someone an RGB LED tutorial ;D ). I'm very open to requests and ideas for videos if you have any suggestions. Also, if you'd like to be added as a featured channel, please let me know! I've already added ez-robot and a few of our community members to the list.
The link to my channel is: Here
Please subscribe and comment if you're interested!
I'm working toward to getting a custom URL for the channel, A new logo design, and a few other changes. I'll update this thread once the changes start happening.
P.S. I won't be able to get this channel going again without your support and involvement. There are too many distractions out there for me. This community is where I belong and where I receive the most genuine satisfaction, and I really desire to be more involved.
Hehe...my wife is an artist too, I know this problem!
I chose one of those YouTube tracks for that timelapse of building the printer, I actually never gave it a second thought on how often those tracks might be used in other clips...but it is a good point! I am also interested in finding good sources of royalty free music, and will share the sites if I find any!
If you get bored of YouTube, you can also check on Soundcloud...

Also there are a couple of apps which produce music...this one is for iphone

Lets keep this topic up, I do not have much time for robot building or video editing at the moment but I hope this will change at some point...and I truly believe that putting stuff out to YouTube is a great addon for this community, lets try to get more robot builders into it!
Thanks @Mickey666Maus
Yesterday, I actually found a copyright free playlist from Soundcloud/Audio Library on YouTube that had some great tracks on it, good thinking!
I like the idea of creating my own music but I'm not talented in that area at all. For those who are musical I think making your own music with your phone is an awesome idea. I also know that electronic music making software: ReBirth is now open source and free to download so that's an option too.
I definitely agree that us robot builders should be utilizing youtube as much as we can, every video is an inspiration to the community!
My idea at this point, to make everything faster, is to film and edit with my phone. I will use the iMovie app to do the editing and add in music.
You are so right...I tend to overburden myself on editing stuff because I want everything to be perfect, but sometimes it is better to cut some corners and just put something out there to move on, rather than spending more and more time on a thing and not getting it done!
We are always learning, which anything we produce we get a better routine. And there is so much that can be done on the go with your phone these days, while still maintaining a good quality...I like this idea!
I did some proof of concept exploration with @Justin's idea of creating an EZ-Robot style Johnny 5. I think it turned out pretty decent. What do you guys think?
I like it...its a good way to visualize a concept! If you had written a long post on what you were trying to do, probably it could have been harder to understand... This is a quick and easy way to get things out there, we should all use YouTube more!
@Jeremie, WOW! I've got goose bumps, that looks awesome! Is it using all 3 motors? Is that a standard Rolli belt?
Thanks @Justin
Yep, that's a standard Roli belt and I'm just using 1 motor in the standard Roli configuration but with 2 idlers. I was thinking that the track setup looks perfect for an Revolution style Wall-E as well! I'll keep exploring
I actually think it looks better as a Wall-e base. Johnny-5, the top idler is more set back from center (although this is a great way of working with the space available).
