"The dude gave me a complete setup for free". Yes! That's oldtimers giving the youngins the push they need to get their own barn full of scara's. Awesome! What a great dude!

this video is a year old, but half the comments are from 3 days ago... I found this on the home page. I'm glad good material like this is getting picked up more by youtube.

That friend from New-York is a legend

Ah yes, the “I contacted someone to ask about buying something and ended up getting it for free” strategy. I also have experience with this. It’s a very odd feeling, but I am extremely thankful for it when it happens. I got a no longer produced pack of Fuji FP-100c this way, and then proceeded to screw up the first 3 pictures because I didn’t understand how it worked… 5 pictures are left and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to use this awesome film and will be saving it for very special occasions.

I bought an Epson Vt6L from a fairly prominent high end vise manufacturer having no idea how to use it. The process of getting one of these things and learning from nothing is such a rewarding feeling. Getting it, sending it home for the first time, getting your first motion commands and talking to IO ports. It's especially helpful having people who are willing to lend a hand in the process. For that, I need to shout out the guys at PSC up in New York, they are an awesome crew.

A tip for anyone looking for a short. Replace the fuse with a low wattage light bulb. If shorted itll glow. if already shorted itll glow until you find the short. good work on the robot!

I am so glad you found a mentor that helped you on your adventure

Oh cool! I inherited one of these arms and also came across this same guy. He mailed me the hard drives and other things I needed to get it running!

Ugh the most maddening controllers ever, I’m so glad adept controllers aren’t made anymore. I just threw a bunch away. Glad you got yours working well though!

love it, i so love seeing the next generation of engineers and DIYers taking the internet by storm

This is fanstastic, I’d never seen a robot arm like the kind you showed here. Excited to see more!

That old dude is frigging insane, in his life achievements - the equipment he has and his generosity.... If in his position with a keen newcomer I'd totally be giving them stuff to be internested.

Really cool video and a great story. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!

Hey man, this is super cool. things like this take time and I appreciate it!

cool vid and good job on the troubleshooting. Always remember though this is industrial equipment and therefore dangerous. Even though it's small it can still malfunction and swing around and hit you, possibly ending up in an emergency room visit.

Extremely impressive! I can’t imagine all your hard work that went on behind the scenes..

That last bit got me to sub. I love it when people new to the industry pay proper respect to the old timers.

Really like the video and info! Keep going man. You gonna grow up as Chanel quickly 💪

That man is an awesome man, makes the whole vid wholesome

Aaah, this story reminds me of when I went to the local electronics shop to buy a replacement fuse for my 3MP (!) digital camera, a very small surface-mount fuse mind you! I mentioned that I was not exactly sure how to solder it, and they kindly directed me to someone who might be able to help me. Turns out the guy was a retired robotic electronics guy, but he was also constantly getting pulled in to new, small jobs since he was the only one with the right knowledge. Also he did the soldering of my camera fuser for free! :)

Awesome guy giving you that stuff. He clearly wants you to succeed.

amazing video, i just suscribed. over here in mexico these robot arms are not only hard to find but impossible to get a way to learn it.thanx for sharing your story

I needed this video today, thank you!

So cool. and Sooo generous of that guy. Talk about looking after the next generation. Hat's off to him, and to you in your pursuits. I think you may have found a new subscriber. :)

this was randomly recommended to me, idk why, but hello, and I hope this comment further helps in the algorithm boosting this great video :)

Bro love your channel

May you keep the legacy of the friend who gave you all the needed equipment! What goes around comes around

Awesome story! Thanks for sharing.

You can use blender to calculate all your joint angles and be able to use inverse kinematics because it is animation software

Awesome, i wish i could have these toys at home too, It would help alot to study automation and robots. I have an old télémécanique testbed which was used by a school, its old but very interesting

Just got to find another guy who specializes in robot legs.

I had the chance to work with a ur3 robot for a paid project and got to keep it. these robots are so fun to work with !!!

this is so cool. keep going!

oh GOD you've been blessed. I wish you a happy journey in the robotics field (^__^)/

Awesome video!

Awesome story!!!

FYI, compared to a lot of industrial hardware, robots don't have much used market value, beyond just parts and replacement units for existing (but older) production cells. They're a bit like CNC machines in a way, since they inherently get less accurate over time. Not by much, and often not enough to actually justify selling them for scrap value. Robots are pretty much the same, and in a way do lose their reliability rating and accuracy over time. But again, not by much, and certainly not enough to justify selling working units for scrap. I work in machine building for medical device production, so high value stuff. But it kinda feels wrong to use a brand new Kuka arm, requiring all new software, calibration equipment and training, when we could've just bought the same robots we were using 4-5 years ago second hand, and probably get better results.

id love to set one of these up to automate my print farm, you could setup a track for it to run forward and reverse on to go up and down an isle of printers to clear prints and bin them.

Awesome video I found this searching up seven aziss robot

I grew up next to that plant and ended up working as an electrician there

I have that exact robot arm at my job and it functions as a screw bot (it's usually down for repairs though)

Excellent

what a legend

your video is just awesome! lol

Would be great for sorting items passing between them if it has a camera and basic ai deciding on rhe item

THATS AWESOME

Your work shop looks just like mine only cleaner and more organized.

this story reminds me of cyberpunk stuff, becoase of how robots have become common enought for common poeple to have thier own robots

Are you sure you can run both at the same time? It could be a safety feature that this is not allowed. If arm1 ist static, arm2 can do it's path planning and does exactly know where the allowed area is. Otherwise they would need bidirectional online path prediction

Nearly every successful person has a mentor.

I want one

A true nerd on nerd interaction with the guy from new york. Just in it to make cool shit not fussed about money.

What's with the shot of a plate with an egg on toast and a half eaten sausage on it? at 6:03

This is proof that with money, determination, and time in mommy's basement, you can make anything in this world.🥰

Just start selling merch and you'll really get a robotic arm for free

Let’s beard more

can you do a pizza cutter next, ty

Kinda wish you kept him more anonymous, but I suppose its inevitable we figure out how you found him, if you tell the story.

interesting

Let me guess ... you got them from an arms dealer

Do you have his EBAY link?

whats his ebay store? I want to buy one!

🥺❤

why has youtube been recommending me this video for the past week now, not a bad video but im curious as to why this

the dude friend is a freaking cool dude, not program the robots to give you a handie

Egg sandwich 🤗

i would have no use for them

This is great and all but who "Just has" free stuff given to them. Another thing, who has a complete shop set up to drill, mill and machine parts? Videos like this are just a huge load of BS to normal people who do not have an outlet like this. Total BS

How is $314.18 free? tired of all these disingenuous youtubers. If you have talent you shouldn't need clickbait!
