Join Me Live Every Friday! - Weekly Jugglebot Updates

🤖🎥 Join me live every Friday for an exclusive peek into Jugglebot's journey!
I've been working hard behind the scenes, engineering and iterating, to bring Jugglebot to life. From tweaking linear actuators to perfecting precision controls, there's a lot happening that doesn't make it into the final videos. But I want to bring you along for every step of this robotics adventure!
🚀 Weekly Livestreams - What to Expect:
Project Updates: The latest developments on Jugglebot, raw and unfiltered.
Live Demos: See parts of Jugglebot in action, live from my workshop.
Q&A Sessions: Ask your questions, share your ideas, and let's geek out about robotics together!
Community Insights: Your feedback and suggestions are invaluable. Let's discuss what you want to see next!
⏰ Set Your Reminders:
Every Friday, starting this week, tune in at 11 AM AEST. Grab your coffee (or beverage of choice) and settle in for some robot-building fun.
💡 Not a Livestream Fan? No Problem!
I'm still working on traditional, polished videos. They're coming soon, and I can't wait to share them with you.

These weekly updates are something I've been thinking about for quite a while now and I decided to not wait any longer to start doing them. Is there anything you'd like to see in this week's stream? Let me know your thoughts below!

[@harrisonlow]

@eblman5218 Yep I agree 100%! My thinking is that this (hopefully) shouldn't be an issue for these weekly livestreams because even if I hit a roadblock, that roadblock is what would be covered in the livestream, allowing all you wonderful (and knowledgeable!) people to weigh in on the issue.
Seems to be working well so far, though I'm absolutely going to keep burnout in mind as we move forward 😊
Cheers!

You can use square carbon fiber tube !!!

This is badass

[@giantbee9763]

Hello, just discovered your channel! Awesome project! Subscribed and watching :)

[@harrisonlow]

Cheers for the support 😊

Will the recordings of the streams remain uploaded? I know a lot of streamers on youtube keep their vods as unlisted videos and save them to a playlist, which works quite well.

[@harrisonlow]

Yep! These streams will all remain uploaded and you can find them on my Channel (under "Live") or in the "Project: DeepBlue Juggling" Playlist 😊

It goes without saying that I would've made a radically different design, which is not necessarily a good ting, but given the ground rules I do have a couple of observations/suggestions.
Have you considered that these rods, wherever you get them, are most certainly not particularly precise? Have you considered making a lathe kind of setup with abrasive or similar, to ensure they are actually round and the right dimensions?
As for the bearings, have you considered that it might be advantageous to have 3 layers, each with two opposing bearing? Really, you could do as many as you like, and could even get away with not having opposing bearings, lowering friction, leading to less wear and tear, Or how about tilting the bearings a bit, forcing a slight rotation of the rod, presumably leading to more even wear and tear? Or how about hexagonal rods?
