Forgot to mention in the video but use the 3D Importer on the Roblox Home's tab to import your model. When you swap objects to weight paint, blender actually resets the bone you're selecting even if it's displaying the same bone so when you're weight painting and swap over to an object that would be weight painted to the same bone (like the head and eye part of the mech there), remember to hold Ctrl and select that same bone again or else it'll be weight painted to a different random bone in the armature and mess up the movement.
if you parent it without weight paint data (Ctrl + P and set parent to bone, good for rigging something like a gun to character's hand) the rig wont be imported into Roblox, it would make it a lot easier rigging mechanical models if you could just parent it that way but for roblox you, need vertex group deformation data at all times, thats why the IK bones doesn't get imported cause there's no vertex group attached to it. unless there is a way to turn objects that are parented to bones into vertex group data..?

Thank you this truly helped
Looks really good, appreciate it, Ive had trouble rigging mechs
You could just parent the objects to the bone without weight painting as well
