Great video. I am actually approaching this from an artistic standpoint. I am interested in doing robotic character designs, but I am a “ground up” person. This is part of my search i to robot “anatomy”. My big question was “how can these tiny servo-motors turn these huge arms?” And while it is very intuitive, especially the way you’ve explained it here, it was not obvious how a gear is essentially a lever, squared. Very nice presentation. Also the “how much do you weigh?” joke from the Michael Keaton Batman when he asks Vicky Vale how much she weighs before using that grappling hook. And she lies. Easy math, Mr. Wayne. The fact that the hook did not even struggle tells me that he had WAY more mechanical advantage than he needed, and he was just asking to flirt. Anyway that’s my imagination! Thanks again.

Thanks 🤖

When you will complete module 3 ...and module 4....still waiting

Would you recommend any book related to this topic? If so which one?

Actually, no - books have gone so far the way of the do-do bird that the only book I can think of was from the mid 80's! I can't even remember the title, but it was a great book specifically about hardware hacking robotics. Everything has gone to KZread now. It kinda saddens me just a little to say that there is no book that comes to mind to recommend.

if you see your teacher deviously laugh about the evil mechanic monstrosity he is building, then you know you are in the right place to learn some excelent mechatronics with fun...

some late information. at 11:55, you have chosen to not make clear, a couple things. there are just two differences between a first-class and second-class lever: What they are Called, and whether there is, or is not, a change in the direction of motion.!!! at 12:29, since the Radii are assumed to be known (or easily measured), just Compare the RADII !!!!! at 17:05, in other words, a 2nd-class lever, that never stops turning, becomes a driven wheel or gear or pulley or sprocket. consequently, a LONG (large radius) rotary 2nd-class lever/gear/wheel can be used to Convert (high) rotation rate at low torque to greater Torque, at a lower rotation rate. aka reduction-MA. AND, the reduction in distance travelled, associated with a Simple lever, ceases to be an Issue.!!! because, the metrics Change: to rpms and Torque (however you want to measure, torque as Force.).!!!! if interested, see my channel for the OBVIOUS implications. cheers googletranslate
