Hello friends! I thought that it would be fun to do some live streams for you all to teach more about things that I hold near and dear. I assembled a few options that I think would be interesting below. Let me know if you'd be interested in any of these! Also I'm open to suggestions.

Maybe give "helpful" tips about how to make your robot dog better at dispensing beer in a reliable way.

stuffmadehere

I think you have me confused for someone else :)

Andrei Salagean

How about some insights about how you prepare for a new project as soon as you have the idea. How do you split your work? When do you know an idea is good or bad? How do you decide if you've spent enough or too much time on something?

Eric X

I hear you. But I meant... if you had a robot dog, how would you make it better? As a way to poke fun at someone else's project in a viral and playful way.

I would really like to see how you design the folded metal components you use. I can see how they can be much cheaper and faster to make. I've been designing machined/printed stuff and that seems easy but not sure if I can wrap my head (pun intended) around folded parts.

Rob C

Seconded. I don't do any kind of work remotely close to this but your channel is the only one that seems to talk about this technique at all.

I've been interested in how you always seem to find nice mathematical models and/or other simpler solutions for any given problem. How do you discover and enumerate the possible solutions for a particular problem? What resources do you use? Once the solutions are identified, how do you evaluate them? e.g. is it merely in terms of practicality, the tools at your disposal, etc?

Hi Shane, i am on the opposite end of spectrum from you, i see your bookshelf and you've lot of intimidating books, i think i've noticed books on assembly language ,compiler (have really finished those books?), from your experience and skills if you've start over again which skills you would pick in which order?. i am learning programming any tips?

Rino Kaufmann

I'm quite up to date with 3D design and machining, but it'd be sure fun to hear (and see) of some fails and success stories and to learn about your general approach to a problem.

Dennis Weddig

I definitely would love to see either a programming related stream or integration of programming and controllers. Your python code has me seriously curious.

Nick Travis

Programming and any test methods you use for your code would be cool

Vedant Mehta

programming would also be awesome

Super curious about your design process for SLA printing; for work I usually design weldments or aluminum billet stuff, and for home I only have an FDM printer, so working with an isotropic material in plastic is a foreign concept for me. I'll also echo others' curiosity about your sheet metal design process, while it's not as accessible to the masses, it's still very interesting from a uniqueness of design constraint perspective.

Miki

Really interested on this as well

Justin Tar

I agree, programming would definitely be super cool to see more of, maybe just for simple stuff as you mentioned the complex stuff tends to get cluttered.

Thanks for all the good suggestions everyone. I'll add them all to the list. I'm planning to make these streams patreon only, though theres SO much good stuff to talk about you've inspired me to just start the second channel already (although TBD when anything will go live on it - I have my work cut out for me in the next 6 weeks or so) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNlBbEpwffgWefkbRm73xxQ

I definitely haven't finished all textbooks books, though I have spent time in most of them (a few are reference only). When you say skills do you mean programming skills or engineering in general?

stuffmadehere

I always have a hard time showing programming. I think it would be hard to do in a way that isn't super confusing / boring. A lot of what I'm doing is thinking then writing a line of code which is based on a lot of stuff that went on in my head. The problem is that a lot of it is hard to verbalize since I'm a visual thinker

Sanveer Singh

In simple terms would you learn programming first and plus which math field (linear algebra, calculus) ?? [i think i can learn programming own my own from internet not sure about math]

stuffmadehere

For the type of stuff I do: - Computer vision - Computer graphics - Design of algorithims - Robotics especially things like path planning Math: - Linear algebra (solving series of equations, transformation matricies, etc) - Calculus / DiffEq is super useful for engineering doesnt come up as much in programming - Statistics

Sanveer Singh

Don't worry about boring stuff, BTW your channel has grown really fast, what were expecting and how are you feeling, because m sure you wasn't expecting this? What are the thoughts going through your mind.

Joshua shires

Not to be an echo, but I would love to see you go through what software tools, and strategies you use to interface with hardware. E.g. How and what did you use to work out the trajectory of the basketball. What vision system was that etc? Totally get the issues with the YouTube algorithm though. I was thinking one way to film it in an entertaining way is when you get a problem or a bug. Film the issue and then go and work it out off camera. And then film and explain how you fixed it. Obviously this might ruin your workflow and you never solve problems hahaha. Just an idea.

Jason

My $.02 - On any project that you're tackling, consider getting an expert to come in. I see you doing a lot of things the hard way (which is REALLY really cool that you're willing to tackle such things, but you could save yourself a LOT of trouble and time (and show the audience how professionals do some things) by getting someone who has spent their careers doing what you're trying to (and succeeding at) learning in a few days.

Monito

I would like to see more details on the programming side. How do you find the correct formulas to use how do you implement the code? I'm particularly interested in the pool table setup. A slower pace and a lot more details on the code.
