Would you be interested in adopting a man in his 50s? Nice project.... Dad.

[@PhilBusby]

One of the most beautifully crafted and thoughtfully designed hobby projects that I have seen. Congratulations.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks! :)

[@santiagodsl]

Wow, you have some of the best content I've seen on TH-cam.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks man! :)

[@mauriziob5944]

That's because he doesn't need ad money to build this stuff.

[@eliaszweifel8271]

Dude this project is so cool love your Channel ✌🏻

Thanks Fishy! :)

[@thejesuschrist]

This is by FAR the best Build-Project I have seen on youtube.

[@ahmethamdicelik1277]

thank you for being such a cool dad! I will definitely build a rover for my children in the future.

[@harryman01]

AMAZING WORK , and what a great dad you are

[@BabaG]

I am not sure how I stumbled upon this channel. But wow. I am envious of the tools you have, the passion you have, the skill sets you have and of course the creative talent to pull it all together. Wonderful work and thanks for sharing.
I wonder if you would be kind enough to share with random strangers like me your skill set and if one were to go about learning stuff without having to go pay at some school to learn your skill sets what would you do.
Maybe you shall share a video on your tool shop as well. Awesome mate.

[@mh1066]

It makes me giggle whenever I get to see you do things like these. I guess the whole point of this commnet is to show how enthusiastic your work makes me feel!

How so cute and happy child.

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

So how long before you’ve made the adult size version? This is amazing and you’re one fine engineer. I admire you greatly for your knowledge and abilities.

[@Tinkerlog]

Excellent! Love it!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks Alex! :)

[@NewZealandScenicExperience]

Great job

Great job!!

[@glenkeating7333]

Hi. Love this design! Just wondering. Did you ever consider using wheels with a bigger diameter?

[@7LivesCycling]

Me adota aí? Nunca te pedi nada... hahaha! Ficou ótimo, parabéns!

[@gabrielxavier2676]

How are you not enormous on this website yet? LOL I'm loving your channel

[@jonah4196]

When your wife tells you to spend more time with your child instead of doing projects in your garage, so you slap a seat on one and call it good.
jk. But for real though, this is awesome. Keep it up.

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

I know, right? Next video, a new grinder... for my kid...

[@TechnicalNikunjThakar]

Awesome bro

[@jamesbarratt593]

had you had the front wheels on the back too, I think you would find going over rough terrain even smoother. Maybe as back wheels rise the front tension to compensate. Well done though. Looks great. Your sons a lucky kid.

[@OFFRoadWheels]

I would like to build a eltricwheel chair fram with this design using some kind of hub moter for the driving moters then stepper servos for the rotation of the wheels.

[@dolata000]

Worlds coolest dad !!!!

哇，好幸福的的小孩
Wow, a happy child.

[@jamesbarratt593]

Im very interested to find out how your milling machine is cutting. Are those 750w servo motors up to the job when you use a big cutter. I have just bought my grounded steel planes with hewing 35mm rails. Building a mag drill first then making the cnc milling machine.

[@Via.Dolorosa]

Your little child is super lucky

[@ChristianBarrientosIchaso]

You are a genius congratulations

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

:) I don't think so, but thanks!

Spectacular

so awesome

[@memd777]

my car cant do that much offroaing like his rover can! good work.. its all terrain

[@derekfinch9586]

I'm guessing you had some CIM's over from a FIRST robotics team and wondered what to do with them. Very nice!

[@mekhanopoios]

Just got into your channel and i'm curious. What do you do for living? As an graduating engineer i'm inspired in following your steps

[@glenngoodale1709]

What a great video

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks Glenn!

[@stanpak007]

Congratulations! Nice metal skills and original idea. How long did it take you to complete the project? Did you use any particular software to design your rover?

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks, took me +- 3 months. Mostly I use Fusion360, but i just winged it for this project. :)

[@Rouverius]

Do you want your son to be driven by curiosity?

It helps that I'm an electronics hobbyist.

[@ChristianSchmid]

This is so super!

[@KrisTemmermanNP]

Thanks! :)

[@TheSaheasy]

Should add an XSR Receiver so you don’t need a controller cable!
The Arduino code that you use for it is pretty easy, and you have a choice in controllers from FrSky.

[@JensAndree]

I'd prefer a wired solution if I'd put one of my kids as toddlers on it though... Just saying ;)
