    I've been wondering if I could turn my haircut robot into a pumpkin carving robot. Cutting hair and carving pumpkins isn't really that different if you think about it - both cut stuff off a roughly pumpkin sized spheroid. In this video I do just that and carve some pretty amazing pumpkins with it. This was a bit of a sprint to get done - I can't wait until next year to make even more insane pumpkins with it!

      @SharkTank There is no goal, or I guess you can call the goal fun. Most coders look for Eureka moments to become better, and creating a machine that works in the end is fun for them. OP wants to look at the software code, to make himself better at coding. Learning in of itself is fun. But if this guy plans on making machines, he'll understand the code, and maybe one day he'll try something similar to begin his journey. Then, he'll achieve the Eureka moment, call himself a better coder, and have fun. Unless he's looking for a job, then that is his goal.

    • @darkonnis
      @darkonnis Před 3 lety +32

      Because Wikipedia STEM is written mostly by people trying to be as abstract and academic as possible to show how clever they are. I'm a chemical engineer, most of the chemical engineering math is actually total shit on wikipedia and doesn't hold in the real world or is too abstract to be useful. It is the sole reason why in this day and age of the internet, chemical engineering books are still worth their weight in gold. I can't comment on all other disciplines but the ones I am certainly qualified to speak about, are usually quite poor despite being academically right. Remember, knowledge is only useful if it can be understood and a true test of intelligence is being able to explain complicated topics in simple terms, that may mean simplifications which are not necessarily entirely true, but you have to know your audience!

    I will say, I’m glad that Tormach is partnering/helping you with these tools.
    Your channel has became one of my favorite. You are already past a million, and have very few videos (compared to other channels that are close to the same sub amount).
    If any CZcamsr deserved to have a sponsorship, especially from a CNC machining company. It would obviously be you.
    You are damn near the smartest person that I have ever came across. Not just on CZcams, but anywhere. It’s amazing to see the things you can do.
    Like I said, I’m glad that they are connected with you. These companies are starting to realize that the best way to advertise is on CZcams. Everyone I know watches hours of CZcams. CZcams has even made it to where they show commercials that benefit the viewer. Because they base it off of the videos that you personally watch.
    I think it’s a great idea, especially to begin helping you at the start. So that no other company could catch on and steal your loyalty.
    I’m definitely not in need of a CNC machine. But if I was, I would definitely have to go with Tormach. Because of how I have seen them treat you.
    I would like to be able to get one some day, and begin trying to do/build the things that you do.
    When the time comes, i will definitely have to go with Tormach.

Projecting an image onto in imperfect surface is insane! Also, its not just the surface that varies, the thickness varies too. My advice for this machine would have been: Make the pumpkin rotate, and make the cutting head static in one axis. Making a rotary table rigid is easier than trying to make a rigid 4 axis head. Great job! Incredible perseverance!

    Your wife being dry and serious about anything that you do is really funny. It cracks me up every time

    I love your robot's persona. It's one of my favorite little comedic gems.

      Ah yes. I did that with my 10 cent IC earlier this school semester. I now fear frying something much more expensive.

    If you told me a group of people came together to make this, I'd be skeptical. The fact that it's him alone, insane.

    Your videos are pretty cool !!!
    You explain a bit of everything you do, it's a pretty nice thing for the watchers as they can learn something.. at least to have an idea about it... ;)

    Bruh that advance algorithm of reading a pumpkins features is something like the phones that have 3D depth maping of the face for secure unlock.
    It was difficult for me to even build a prototype just to measure the distance between the sensor and a surface. Can't imagine the pain you have gone thru just to get this working. Keep up the good work!

      I think the pumpkin is mechanically measured, much like a seismograph/seismometer, that algorithm of yours that creates a depth map with only light and digital image is extremely complicated too.

    • @blackhole4813

      Also I think the algorithm uses different orientations of the face, and then recreate a 3d model of the face, or just use algorithms to compare different sides of the face by recording it instead of taking 1 picture. Can't just take a picture of a face then show it in the camera...
