    Brilliant. The "angry" vibrate is a nice touch.

      Haha, I just thought it was a dodgy servo.

    • @Engineer9736
      @Engineer9736 Před 7 lety +14

      Not the servo, probably just something steel that's vibrating from the mechanical impact of the servo.

    • @alexanderl7491
      @alexanderl7491 Před 7 lety +22

      No, it's a servo. I have built many RC craft, and servos sound like that under load.

    would have been funnyer if after 30 seconds the arm came out nervously looking if all switches are still off.

    • @n0ame1u1
      @n0ame1u1 Před 7 lety +83

      I believe he meant the machine would physically hit its own off switch with its arm, which would be pretty funny

      @kirasmith1147 Před 7 lety +16

      attack125. Listen. He did not suggest that it does what the machine does already, he was saying if the arm came out and pressed it's own power switch.

    remove the limit switch, and install the power library. After 30 seconds, the device only checks every 8 sec. arduinos can last for over a year if programed properly.

    • @supercables251

      it depends, on 2-4 AA you should get over a year standby time. You could sue a voltage regulator to allow more batteries, you could even upgrade to Li-Lon. what i'm saying is the current method of power saving is weak and can be improved.

      Are you trying to tell that a machine with the cognitive ability to specifically turn itself off once it's been activated is also able comprehend the concepts of "want" and "privacy"? If it can comprehend skepticism, self-thought, and it's surrounding world, as well as many other things, then it would think twice before attempting to turn itself off.

  • @yankleber
    @yankleber Před 3 lety +18

    Nice! I think that it could have an improvement though. Instead of simply memorize the sequence and disable it the same order (boring and TOO robotic) it could push the ones that are near first. If you push levers 1-5-2 it shouldn't disable them in 1-5-2 order but 1-2-5 that makes more sense. Also it should always start with the lever which is closer to its current position.

    @peterbaum8804 Před rokem +4

    I like some of the suggestions here. Also, how about varying the delay before the robot turns off the switch... hoping the human will go away. You could also add a sensor to detect if a human was present, and turn off the switches when the human was leaving or gone.
    I think I remember a first version of this device (decades ago) that had a hand that turned itself off (a single switch that started it up). In some sense, one switch is more to the point.
