Building a LEGO Robot Arm, to Help Me Build LEGO
I built a LEGO Robot arm like the one Tony Stark has, and it's probably 20% dumb-er than that one.
and I call him... Hand-E

I think if the base is heavier i think it can maybe hold another camera for panning shots haha!! That aside, the editing and story is phenomenal! Even for someone like me who don't really build technic it was an enjoyable ride from start to finish

Then what's the point
Can’t wait for a part two! Great work. Try worm gears, they give great torque, slow the motors down, and it’s basically impossible to make them slip Also for the turntable you could add a ring on top of the wheels like a mechanical sandwich to make it less wobbly
Nicely done man!

Great project! This reminds me of a school project I once had where a friend an i programmed a robot to build a lego house ;D I think we had around 5k code lines for just a 10x10 cm house with 4 walls, a door, and a window with a prebuild roof that the robot had to place on top. So seeing you struggle with just the first brick placement really brings memories back. Looking forward to seeing the updated version ;D

Inverse kinematics would've made that a lot easier.
Yes, this definitely need a part 2
This is really good! Part 2 please.
Wow, thats amazing! I think now, you should make a brick storage unit, and have a brick selector screen. you pick a brick, and the machine gives you the box! (can be integrated onto your stash in the back)
I love your videos, well done
This guy is like Tony Stark with Legos! I'd love to see a working Lego claw machine game, maybe the prizes could be polybags and Minifigure packs

Try using wheels for the bottom of the robot. Also part two
That click clicking editing is dope, Btw I think some multiple mini hydraulic hammer pushing down the bricks might be cool 😉
Looks super cool, you should make a robot that can bring you whatever you tell/program it to say!

"Building lego to build lego"
I'd love to see another round at this. Pretty awesome build and entertaining video. 👍 Maybe have the base wheels with rubber on them (I think someone else mentioned) and connect them underneath the large circle so it adds stability when the weight of the arm is extended or if it lifts something heavy. Also cool wrap built around it but this adds to weight and slows motion down too. Maybe strip it down get it working as best you can and add minimal panels to make it less heavy for the motors. I have seen some claw designs where there's a corkscrew in the middle that could help push out what is being held as the claw opens so maybe that can help it build too. Just brain-storming for you. Blown away by what you presented though. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll get it! 😊
You need weights (the battery box for example) which you place on the opposite side of the moving arm to compensate the wheight.
This looks SICK! You are so underrated.
Definitely needs a part two.
I’m surprised this wasn’t done with any LEGO Mindstorms platform! But then, I have an overwhelming bias toward potentially fully autonomous robots, which probably wouldn’t be useful in this case. I’d love to see a part 2, if one hasn’t been posted already!
how is this guy not at 1m subs yet? he has the coolest builds on KZread

I know like how does he not have one million
🔥🦾 Amazing technical feat! all you need is an appropriate controller, or even better make an ia that can follow instructions! may i suggest, for the rotation of the base, to check out the bag n° 6 of lego 42082 set? (a red crane). Maybe it could inspire you to come up to a more solid design to prevent the crazy wobbling
need to use the bananna gears to make the base rotate solidly. Also, you've got that curved wall with the drawers, have it bring the drawers out. you could use a mindstorms colour sensor at the end of the arm, and little stickers on all the drawers so its knows which one is which.
my suggestion would be to add some sort of pusher as well as the pincers, so that you can grab the piece and push it down instead of having the pincers slide off
Although the functionality of the robot isn't much, the arm is quite impressive nonetheless.
Looks awesome, you've got great programming skills!
I believe one of the tutorials I watched for power functions said that there is a way to set an absolute position for the motors. So you could give yourself a button that positions the arm directly over the same point do that it's easier to stack the bricks
Not sure if you thought of it. Or would consider it, but Rollercoasters have wheels and supports on more than one side of track. Perhaps turn the base swivel into a cage bearing. Make a frame and attach another ring track on top. Might make it stronger and smoother than just making it wider. Very top heavy as well. Add weight to bottom. Alot, if you want it to press bricks together
+1 to keep going.
this man spends so much time for our entertainment, thank you

this truly is such a great feat of lego tech, amazing work. cant wait till you make a version that's foldable or create a 100 square foot factory with it (and then upload it in a week like SERIOUSLY YOU PUMP OUT GREAT CONTENT REAL FAST IT'S UNBELIEVABLE)

I was wondering what took u so long to make a video but I'm not even mad it was worth the wait I wish I could do this
Is it me or is this man progressively getting closer to being iron man
So it can hold an Iron man mask, but what I really want to know is if it can use a fire extinguisher.
Pretty please do part 2! I'm really hoping to see it.
My hands are shaky too I need this
I think it'd be cool to see how you improve this thing. I'm definitely looking forward to a part 2.
Transforming a Technic lego set into a robot arm... This is a brilliant idea
The fact that you could even make the motors work is godlike, i would literally give up within a minute.

You're the reason why I want to be an engineer when I grow up. This is amazing!
you know how many extra hours of sleep i'd get just TRYING to plan that?
maybe you could build 12 claws projecting radially (like a 12 jawed chuck) from 1 motor for holding parts of big builds while you work on others or mount pieces together
Your creations should be a real Lego. They’re Awesome
I think you should add some weight to the back as a counter weight so it’s more bottom heavy
4:09 the fact He has deadshot eyes to make 1 vid for us
If you wanted to use it to construct stuff you could put it on rails and make it work like a claw machine/3d printer
I really love your videos, thank you, and my 7-year-old daughter and I enjoy watching them. Do you have any tips or videos on simple basic interfaces to run lego motors? I was a Lego technic enthusiast as a child, and now I've started buying modern Lego technic for my daughter (and yes, for me too :) but the modern sets only seem to let us run the motors from an annoying app, which a) is annoying, requiring us to use my phone and touch screen as our only option to control them, and b) it even point-blank REFUSES to run the motors at all if it thinks they are connected differently to the battery box from how the set that we bought stipulated. This is totally ridiculous, because the whole point of Lego has always been (as you illustrate so well in this video here) to use the parts to invent your own stuff. My daughter and I recently built a (very simple) Lego ski lift for Lego people, super-primitive, just winding in a piece of string with a motor, basically, and I literally had to physically build it differently, with an axel fitted into a free-wheeling piece of another motor, in order to satisfy the Lego app and "trick" it into letting me just run the one motor that I wanted. I tried to look up suggestions of how to just use the motors ourselves with full control, but it seemed complicated and I don't understand what to do next.
Bro Doesn't Every Lego Fan Wanna Build Something like this
these have been some of the most enjoyable lego building video i have seen, thanks for the good stuff!
I've never seen anyone build a remote controlled minifigure, that can walk around and everything! You'd probably be the first person to do so!
we NEED part two
You've inspired my son to try this out! Would love it if you made a part 2!
it is crazy that he came up with this by him self all i got to say is that you are truly talented
To make the main arm not as wobbly is to make rotational part wider. It should fix it.
Im getting real ironman vibes with the robot arm and i think thats great
You you are the best. people do not respect you as much as you deserve. you are a technical genius especially with Legos
this dude spent like 20 days on this he's like 1 of the most patient person in the world
the amount of asmr he puts in these videos in awsome
part 2 needed!
Damn he really passed the "im not a robot test"
SO CLOSE TO 100K SUBS!!
Add some Googly Eyes Then It Would Be Cute😍🥰
7:04 it's nodding and waving :D
I never new a robot hand could be built with nothing but Lego, I love your vids your a legend
Why don’t you build a mountain railway (I have a plan for the locomotive!) Make it look like the engine Snowdon from the snowdon mountain railway, using an open gear smaller than the wheels, put a gear rack in between the rails that will mesh with the gear. Curves and points will have to be level, to keep the engine from slipping
This guy is so underrated
guess the issue is the weight in the arm, for the base to avoid beign "tilty" use bearings between 2 circular parts (those made of 4-24121) not on 4 points but at least 1 each 45 degrees (8) than as long as a gearbox could be used to multiply outputs insted of changing speed with really few efforts just use a 3 output turntable plus a sequential gearbox as a function multiplier (up to 9 functions) all the weight will be in the base.
It is really good. Part 2 please
Did that’s an amazing build, I can’t imagine me buildings this in a million years
amazing I wonder if the future humans will use lego to make full size humanoid robots
This needs to be a set
HE BUILT LEGO TO HELP HIM BUILD LEGO, GENIOUS!
A suggestion, use gears and belts when gears wouldn’t be economically feasible… and more than one motor if power or power and speed are desired…. And a hint… think back to your lego motor… and remember that not everything needs to be capable of 360 degree rotation, most of that arm needs 180degrees or less… that arm could still reach everywhere even when limiting a given axis’ total movement… (an arm can reach above it if it’s previous axis can rotate 180 degrees) if the base (using gears and multiple motors)and the wrist can achieve 360, actuators assisting gears to increase lift speed and perhaps two motors and gears run the wrist, and gears for the claw to increase grip strength…

you have made that thing for OVER 50 HOURS CONGRATS
The motors and battery boxes from the set is LEGO Powered Up.
imagine how your body is complicated when this is already very complicated
i think for the wheel that rotates everything you should put the little wheels in every direction
