    Add a comment down below on what build you'd like to see next! Whatever has the most comments for example a dozer, forklift or semi truck etc. will be the next project. Also due to the sheer number of parts in this project I might hold off on doing a kit so I would highly recommend checking out the professorboots workshop guide which will take you through self sourcing all of the parts. Thank you so much for watching!

    I've been following this channel for awhile and I just wanted to express my appreciation for the quality and breadth of of work you are putting into these projects. Everything from industrial design, mechanical and mechanism design, controls,, electronics breadboarding, PCB design/fabrication, microcontroller programming, and presumably video editing/production. To be able to turn these projects from viewer comment suggestions into fully functional objects in a matter of weeks is seriously impressive! You are definitely going places.

    Honestly a working crane would be insane on a truck or not but that would be sick to have and it could actually pick up stuff and move it with different attachments like magnets, hook, straps, or a bucket.

  • @brandonbrown3600
    @brandonbrown3600 22 วันที่ผ่านมา +5

    So cool. Have you ever seen kinetic sand? It's almost like low-reynolds-number dirt. I bet you could excavate a hole in it and it would look very scale-accurate.
    Also as a note, I think N20 motors come in both M3 and M4 so everyone make sure you know which you're ordering.

  • @conorstewart2214
    @conorstewart2214 23 วันที่ผ่านมา

    An alternative to having to pass through wires to the base could be to try and design a mechanism that lets you drive the tracks without needing to have motors in the base. I think it should be doable with some clever gearing and control mixing in the ESP32.
    The simplest way I can think of would involve coaxial shafts and bevel gears.

    This would take some code, but I wonder if you could record some center position and then as you rotated the cab left or right, the software could limit it to like one full rotation either way. When you got to one “stop”, the motor could stop but also bounce a tiny bit back the other way so you would know why.
