Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one is sponsored by Fiverr.

It was quite interesting doing something less serious this week. I might attempt one of the other designs at some point.

#AD Designed on Fiverr: Smart NERF Blaster

AD Check out Fiverr! : https://fvrr.co/JBruton Link to Fiverr Seller Im10hardik: https://fvrr.co/2VrovN3 Link to Fiverr Seller Parthsharma755: https://fvrr.co/2TRPMYo Link to Fiverr Seller Aqabutt92: https://fvrr.co/3hXUSdX Fiverr challenged me to build a design concept in real life that's been designed by a Fiverr freelancer. I used three Industrial Designers on Fiverr to come up with a concept for a 'Superhero Assistance Device', and chose the best one. I chose the Smart Blaster concept because it seemed to be the most challenging to build in real life.

There’s a Facebook group and everything: https://www.facebook.com/groups/287089964833488/ XROBOTS Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

A 20kg servo for a trigger release - I'm not sure it will be powerful enough ;-)

My grandson will absolutely love it! Are you making stl's available?

My Modix Big-60 is almost ready to fire up!

Cool project! Have you tried using one of the new Arduino Nano BLEs? They have an integrated MPU which is really handy (plus their clock speed is higher).

XRobots

I haven't tried them, I quite like the MPU6050 because it does on-board DMP/sensor fusion and the maths is better than anything I can write.

Scott Cress

Well done James! Next you need to put a camera on that ring thing to watch the movement of your eye and have the drone fly "where you look". Would be a neat addition to your smart AI/robotics repertoire. Or get a mini drone with a camera. And have the drone fly at objects you've programmed into the AI.

XRobots

I considered something better, I'd also have to track my head and the drone in space for that to work though so it gets a bit more complicated.

XRobots

That's sort of what I thought I would do, but it would fly much faster and further so it would be hard to see where it was going - it would need FPV at that point, and the whole project got rather more complicated!

I'm just curious. How much do you get paid to do a sponsored segment like this? I completely understand if you're unable or unwilling to disclose this. I hope I'm not mean to nosy.

Joystick is awesome!!! No API - no problem =)
