Watching someone younger than me doing this kind of thing makes me question my existence.
+Jeni San then stay away from the asian kids...
+Rasec Hills Sorry to go against your well thought comment, but I'm an Asian as well. I'm even a Filipino like this techy guy.
Jeni San well.. if it's any consolation, the original toy was made pretty similar, so maybe he just rebuild the original idea...
+Rasec Hills so your actually jealous because this sister is appreciating the boy
Ahsen Jabbar yeah, sort of... :/

"How to make an Iron man suit from things at the dollar store"
this kid is a genius
ill be waiting for that
+OnlyDavidWould not dollar but its really strange to understand, that in my timepiece everyone can MAKE HIS OWN DRONE 0)0
50 episodes later how to make a flying car
+OnlyDavidWould How about how to make a Star Killer using only paper mache...and rule the universe!
+OnlyDavidWould no doubt lol
The genius of this is its simplicity & using equipment that is avalible.
DUDE! You're insanely talented! Not just as an engineer to figure all this out, but as a filmmaker too! I'm so excited to see what you produce in the future. Good luck!
+ftEmmett Thank you! Much appreciated man!
TechBuilder No problem! I'm psyched to see more!
+Maria Araracap As much I love to. That would be illegal and would go against Disney's copyright license.
+TechBuilder You could make them and sell them secretly,I'd pay you $500 to make me one Bro
+Michael Guzman - Taking into account the cost of the parts, programming, labour, etc, at $500, he'd probably end up makiing about $2/hr. Then there's the copyright.
Finally a tutorial that doesnt tell me to use my 3d printer, like if I have the money to buy one. Thanks for the detailed tutorial I will start to build a BB8.
welp im waiting......
Aaron Supertramp soooo
Aaron Supertramp lol right those cost an arm and a leg and take hours to print 1 thing
True
How's your BB8 going?
He’s currently working on a life size fully functional Millennium Falcon. Lol
o
Wow bro that’s so funny I forgot to laugh
Let's wait for the death star now
Omg yes!
Nasa please! Hire this guy!
Wow, man! Beautiful work. That's talent right there!
+tutvid Thank you! ^_^
+TechBuilder I envy you kuya!!haha proud pinoy
I have grown up in a body shop and for those of you who attempt this, when you peel off your masking, make sure you form a "cutting edge" with the tape. You do this by pulling a bit of the tape off then holding the loose edge of the tape pull it back on itself, as though you're making a "V" with the loose and adhered tape. That should allow you to have a much cleaner paint edge. As the way it pulls allows a neater removal process.
Just an FYI, I hope that helps.
+Corey Carnes I don't work in a body shop, but have done a little rattle-can painting in my time. Shouldn't he have used a spray-on primer in between the wood putty and two coats of white spray paint? Especially considering how much wear the body is going to take, literally rolling around on the ground.
Oh, and another thing, anyone who attempts this should be careful using a power sander on the wood putty. It makes it much quicker and easier to sand down to the next level (which is bad), and depending on your sander, you might leave some unwanted swirl marks.
+jpoolerdom the white spray paint may have been a primer, some primers are just white. Even if it's not primer it might be ok as long as he painted properly, I would recommend lots of light coats to build strong layers
jpoolerdom That's all very good advice, yes. I wonder if they make a clear coat designed to wear better than what a car would have.
+Corey Carnes Shouldn't you apply a clear varnish after the painting is done? Should make it more stable when rolling over the floor
Dylan Burford I recognized the can, Rustoleum white spray paint.
Him: I don’t have the budget to buy a foam cutter
Also him: shows sphero bb8 and electric sander
Probably used the budget on those prior to the foam cutter
Every dad has an electric sander right?
I tried to replicate your robot, I dont know how I ended up with an r2d2 that doesn't follow commands. Just takes off until it crashes or battery runs out

@@davesguitarworld2296 what
More than a tech video, this is a showcase of a truly talented and passionate kid, and his wonderful supporting family. Well done everyone!
Going into this video I was like "I'm going to do this!," then seeing how much work it was I changed my mind real quick.
Sigh. Maybe one day.
+DubstepEditzz One day, I will build this :p
+Nadia Becker I've already started
Same
+Alana Panny and when that day comes, kids would be making flying cars as a project. xD
same as soon he started talking about The stuff we need I was like... "Whaaa

This man is a genius.
This kid is awesome, I bet in a few months he's gonna make a video called, "How to summon Jesus Christ with only 3 pieces of cardboard"
Ikr 😂😂😂😂
LOL SO TRUEEE
Michael Van Camp that's a little overboard
Fresh egg and two small sticks is all you need really. Or three small sticks and 4cc of mouse blood if you want the gory option.
I have to say I am over joyed to see a younger person taking on a project like this and I am even more thrilled that your Dad and your family was helping you. That is an amazing thing to see. I hope to see a lot more projects from you. Keep doing what makes you happy!!!

So amazingly impressed with your work. It's one thing to design a working BB8 on a large scale budget but to pull it off on a shoestring budget and make a great instructional is just mind blowing. WELL done.
What I love about the channel is that it uses Arduino, and is Filipino friendly!
wtf this guy is a genius
hes definitely smart but knowledge is pointless if you have no drive, will, and ability to apply it
+worlds worst gamer 17 True
+worlds worst gamer 17 make it first like him. And then say that
Jamil Ahmed first, i made 2 of those, and second, that was in no way in insult, it was a compliment
cool
Impressive, must be a manly smelling BB-8 too

That's it, I'm building my own BB8 XD This kid is going places :D Proud Filipino
*ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE - IF YOU ARE ASIAN*
your right
True
Nils Johansson he's Philippine
since when are Philippines not in Asia?
That's good for mee
I love your design and creativity. Thank you for your part in making UA-cam a great place to come
By far one of the best builds I've seen so far! Amazing job!
+zacharymitchellchannel Thank you!
You know he”s in the Philippines when ACE is located inside the mall
Your youtube videos helped me get through depression
Even if this breaks after a few days, at least you'll have a life time supply of deodorant
this vid was dope...but when u got ur dad to help, that was some gangsta shit...dope as hell ya pops was getting busy on it..and he hooked that shit up....tell him a real street nigga said props!!!
+RomeoProductionz Thank man! He'd love to hear this! ^_^
Omg, This Kid is a Filipino...
His Dad is a filipino...
Mabuhay!!!!
I want this because of reasons.
like...
Mohamed Maxamed
Because it's mother f*cking BB-8.
...is that a code for kill? yup am outta here.
Mohamed Maxamed
I just want a droid. HE'S SO CUTE ^_^
The Nerd Council who is cute tech builder or bb 8
I was typing “but the droid’s head is fixed-“ but before I could finish it, bb8 just moved her head :P
His* head
Such a nice video. Not just because of what you are building, because of the bond you have with your Dad. This video has an emotional factor. :-)
Brilliant well done. You have a future in special effects. I bet the cost of your build was a fraction of the one made for the film. It’s certainly on my build list for my grandson!
13:40 so cool how you played the USB cable shot backwards backwards to make it look fluid, i love these details!
That's more than awesome!!! Amazing work!
+Radoslaw Biernacki Thank you!
saw it from your tiktok,.😁👍
Expensive materials or not, the best part is to have a brain like that, so creative.
+TechBuilder also a filipino and a robotics enthusiast! Amazing Video
Great video, used it as a reference when I started building mine. I put together the main body and got all the electronics working. Didn't make the head or do the BB-8 paint yet. I might just leave it as a big Sphero-like ball instead. I would recommend if you want any sort of distance from the thing, using a RC controller instead of bluetooth to be able to get some better distance (and yes that is a little bit more expense but worth it if you are planning on using this outside), that is what I did and can operate my ball just short of a 1/4 mile away. Also speaking of RC parts, get some beefy motors to make it really pick up speed. The ones he has are pretty nice but at first I tried to use some out of a cheaper RC car I had and it was not that great, and if you do go for speed make sure to also add a pretty hefty weight ballast to the bottom of your platform to keep it in position.
I also made my ball a bit tougher, I did the fiberglass and bondo method to make it tougher. It also made it heavier, which might be why the original RC motors I had seemed under-powered. You can find a bunch of videos about using fiberglass and bondo to make the body. It won't be as tough as the sphero bb-8 I have, since apparently the sphero ball can take a shotgun blast and be fine, but it will take a crash into a wall or tree with basically no damage and you can always bondo, sand and repaint any areas you might need to.
And one other major upgrade I did was how to charge the batteries. I installed my batteries on the underside of the platform to help keep the weight on the bottom, used zip-ties and hot glue to make sure they stay in place. I then cut out a trap door in the body to reach a cable I have attached to the battery packs. I have the cable attached to the platform using velcro and I just have to pull the cable out, attach it to the adaptor I have and plug it in the wall. I might make another ball to improve on this design because right now I only have a tiny plastic hinge in place and it is already feeling like it is about to break from opening and closing, but I had to keep it small and as flush against the body as possible, but I am thinking I can maybe get a better hinge and sand down a section inside the body to countersink it into the body to make it flush.
All in all, not the most in-depth build I have ever done, (once again, not completed since I only have the body done) but still a fun time and can be done over a couple weekends (or just one weekend if you only do the body like I did and already have all the parts handy).
Amazing and keep up the good work. I hope you reach far with your dreams :)
+MilkANDMagic Thank you!
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly
This came in my reccomendations
13:41 That has to be the smoothest USB insertion I've ever seen
this guy should be the secretary of the DOST , yung naka upo kasi ngayon eh nakaw ang priority
+Mu Long LOL
Could you do a demo video? Maybe a short 2 minute video of BB-8 rolling around? If love to see how it looks while it's running!
+illuminati No, he can't because it doesn't actually work. You can see that someone is moving the head around in the beginning, if you look closely you will see a hand.
+Davey Fraser someone's jealous lol
+Davey Fraser It is working as far as I know (it was seen on bts). I think the head was moved by a hand in the beginning since you have to move the whole body just to move the head. He didn't program the head to move really, he only placed magnets on top so that the head wouldn't roll with the whole body but to maintain being at the top. Still is an amazing build.
+Davey Fraser That wasn't a hand. LOL! It was a peice of canvas hanging at the back of the head. The inertia and momentum of the rotational movement made it swing.
Dude, that's pretty awesome. You solved the main 3 key components of a spherical motion system with a magnetic 2 degrees of freedom attachment. All of it for less than 60 bucks, Kudos Sir!
I wonder if someone build this following this tutorial,. It's impressive but... it's not for me to do it. I watch and enjoy you making it ;)
Yea man ... This is amazing. I have respect to you so much
This guy must be an hospital, he has alot of patience!!!!!!!!!!!

This video is truly amazing!!! I am 12 years old and he did such an amazing job at explaining and everything else that I was able to make it by myself. If you want to make this I would say just go out buy the material and start making it.
He needs a memory of his own now tht is call artificial intelligence...
Jfc this kid is a fucking genius, I feel so useless now
Guys I did this
IT was kinda easy, if u have all the parts. Though the design process and how he figured out to make this is amazing.
Dude your only 17and go to collage and even make robots 😱😱
+Kazim Khan ^_^
After 6 years, pinapanuod ko ulit tong video mo.. What lacks in this version of yours is the weight distribution para hindi sya masyadong wobbly.. You should have added more weight on the lowest -center part (where the arduino is located) of the board inside the body.. Me and my workmate is planning to build one pag may oras na kami this year kaya napabisita ako ulit dito. This is the first (and only) video kasi na napanuod ko on how to make BB8..

Well, this is more than talent. It's GENIUS.
Two questions! Do the batteries have to be lithium or can they be a different kind of rechargeable batteries? If they don't have to be lithium then what are the voltages and amperages? Thank you
This guy is pure genius Great work best of luck for future
You are a genius! You just earned a subscription!
THFP Studios ya
when will we see BB8 V2 build? Great work!
Gotta give you props, you got mad skills.
So BB-8 is actually made from:
Wood
A globe
News paper
Deodorant
Magnets
Bluetooth boards
and several Christmas ordainments
That’s so cool. The sounds it makes and everything bout it, watching from Malaysia
I have a questoin can we fix a wireless camera and see in mobile and also can control is it possible ????
Avijit Kurmi yes I have tried
Good job, Angelo Casimiro. KUDOS to you!!! And congratulations also to your entire family who helped out, especially your Dad. What's so special about this is that you used ordinary items that are readily accessible. Not everyone has a 3D Printer or familiar with Fiber Glass manufacturing (like all the other videos posted on DIY BB-8).
Maybe I could endorse your story to Spencer, Director of Consumer Insights at Lucasfilm in their exclusive fan base feedback group of "Obi Wants To Know Me"? Or maybe even feature you in an article in Bantha Tracks c/o Mary Franklin for Star Wars Insider Magazine? Even a direct "snail mail" to Kathleen Kennedy thru Bob Iger of Disney will probably do. If you want to send your story, yourself, the address is: Disney Studios, 500 S Buenavista St., Burbank, California 91521.
NOTE: They do reply with "snail mail" that is properly documented & officially sent (as compared to e-mail). And when they reply, its enclosed in an envelope with Lucas Film Limited insignia, using a stationary with official letterhead, and properly signed by the current President of Lucasfilm (although the CEO of Disney will be the one designated in the U.S. Mail receiving copy).

i watch video's like this and then i realize i am a dumb f@ck
You’re a genius and I hope you find the right opportunity to develop more your creativity, applause to your father for supporting you in your goals by helping on your projects
If you had a large budget:
-use a strong metal material
-create an AI for the Droid
-make every part of the Droid work
Im not planning on making this but im still watching it,,VERY ENTERTAINING BRAVO😂

8 years ago. still hits hard.
+TechBuilder what kind of engineering course are you studying right now?
+ Jimuelle Balin I'm studying in a Premed Physics course, with specialization in medical instrumentation. :)
not in robots?
+TechBuilder can you please send me the measurements of the wood outs. email is allarena47@gmail.com tnx hope you will help me . I already make the body of bb8 .
Could you make a tutorial o the wiring of the BB8 i'm doing it as a school project, and i can't figure out where the battery wires go. Or just take a photo of the board from a bird eye view and put in on the instructable website please. If possible can you do it soon, the dead line is 5 weeks from now. Thank you
+TechBuilder I can't get the PDF of the website, do you mind sending it or putting the link in your description? Also, I have tried to figure out what the materials are, but can't, do you mind as well putting a list in as well??? Would be MUCH appreciated. BTW, I think you are AWESOME!!!
Disney: The CGI for BB8 will cost 11 million dollar.

BB 8: beep beep whoop whoar
Me: yes sir!
Wow! ur family is so genius.. I'm proud of this tutorial and my kids is also a fan of bb8. Great! Talinong pinoy!👏👍
ATTENTION TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO BUILD THE BB8: DO NOT BUY THE BEACH BALL HE LINKED IN HIS INSTRUCTABLES (the link in the description), IT IS MUCH SMALLER THAN WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE AND WILL NOT WORK FOR THIS PROJECT.
Kid,, your awesome, thanks for the simplicity of this build
Hold up, first he said he was 17... THEN he said he was on Christmas break and was in a hurry to go back to COLLEGE!?!?!? OMG BOY YOU ARE GOING PLACES! I'M IN LOVE ALREADY!
Hi you came as a special guest at my school (St.Joseph's Academy) And they said your mom and dad graduated there
And also i love the BB8 replica you did it was SOOOOO COOL DUDEEE
Now BB-8 will both move smoothly and smell even better!
You're amazing! Im trying to convince my teachers to make this as a project for school!
@Zoom nope they never did🥺
