You're right! It feels like mom was preparing him for all these years. Preparing him to make the most out of those 30 minutes. For those crucial 30 minutes of ABSOLUTE WAR.
Fun fact, wasps hate quadcopter rotor noise. The rotor blades are strong enough to survive collisions with insects. Wasps target the rotors, get sliced, and more come looking. Rinse and repeat until local wasp population either leaves or gets rekt. $400 for a decent quad with fpv capability, some cleaning supplies to get the guts off your new friend, a fun afternoon of aerial carnage 😂
Been on a robotics team for three years, head engineer, all that and it’s still amazing when the robot drives, literally every time it’s like “holy shit that worked?!”
I'm a director of engineering leading teams of robotics professionals, and I personally have like 15 years of experience. *It's still like that!* Love this field.
Now, not robotics but i was tasked to build a DC-charger for vehicles and every time the process worked out i nearly jumped in the air. It's a great shame that i wasn't able to continue on the project due to it being cut. But that was the most fun ive had with programming... ever!
well I guess us men do share some things in common. no matter how much experience we have, when the things we're working on just work, we are and will still get amazed by it like it's a miracle
this is an insane undertaking if this is your first build. holy hell man. this is the opposite of a "beginner project". usually people start with a kit or a 3D printer or something. fantastic work my guy. you should be very proud. i can't imagine how much you've grown as a person from overcoming this
Most of this is most likely already on the Internet. I will bet my bees nuts he didn't write the code himself and or just magically do it all by himself. Look up tonystark or project sentry gun. You're going to find this is nothing new. The challenge here is the calibration and fine tuning to hit small objects as well as leading the target perfectly. OpenCv among other libraries have been utilized for this.
Pro tip, don't buy wasp killer. Soapy water in a spray bottle or a water gun works just as well. Soap removes their water resistant coating and allows the water to clog the pores they breathe from. Instantly downed and dead within seconds. Tbh changing the airsoft gun out for a watergun setup would probably be SUPER effective.
The fact that the first story with clear facts and motivation, is all worth it; and it shared amongst all stung by wasps throughout the world, is insane!
This tech is OLD look it up. North Korea has had this for years. Not to mention motion detection and engagement has been utilized in paintball sentries made by Tony Stark and project sentry gun years ago on UA-cam. Tada he's not a genuine genius you think he is. Smart but also had to get code from them and using the bs chatgpt claim seems like it's a false statement. I could be wrong but I doubt it. The code written for Project sentry gun is on GitHub and I'm sure that's what he used. If not I would be surprised.
The mosquito fence idea can still do with some development. A few attempts have been made but we need a cheap open source system that can protect a small house.

Absolutely wild to see you go at this level of build with literally zero experience. This is the kind of project I would expect to see on an established robotics channel - you accomplished so much with so little. Making a copper sleeve for your motor gear and pounding on the shaft with a hammer really made me smile. Great work. Great build. Can't wait to see V2 where you decouple the camera and gun to avoid that camera shake on firing 😉

Bro, if your PC fails like that and you don't know why, just take it to Micro Center, this isn't even an ad, I have more faith in them than my own slapdash hardware skills. And if they can't save it, it probably can't be saved for less than the cost of a new rig.

Just saying they are helpful when they can be. They also have some deals on open box stuff and a pretty good hobby electronics and toys/gadgets area. Wish they would get back into FPV drones.
Even easier way to get rid of wasps, is to make the area wood bore friendly. Wood bores will hover and guard the area from absolutely anything that flys. I've seen them go after airliners a couple thousand feet up. Don't swat at them, and you can just Walt right up to them and carry on your business. But if a damn wasp gets spotted anywhere, the wood bore will go unalive it in mid air, then go right back to its hovering guard duty.
This hits home. This really hits home. Nothing makes me feel more "tony stark" than sitting at my workspace, 672 lines of code up on my laptop, and wires and misc tools and components strewn across it.

Ok i have to be honnest. I enjoyed the video a lot. As i watched, some of your stories felt like they were trying to make a point, and they did in a lotteral sense. For example, working with what you have and possibly buying proper tools. But then i got to the end. As you talked about fearung death, about having the right tools, etc, it clicked. And that moment just blew me away. The fact that you can include suck a profound moment in a video is amazing. Keep it up.
Awesome video! I like what you said at the end. "If you didn't have to fear failure. If you didn't have to fear death. If you had all the right tools, and you mustered up the courage to try. What would you accomplish?" That is so true! I wanted to build a car, but I didn't think I was capable. I didn't want to face the financial repercussions of failure. But I dove in and have really surprised myself. Here I am with a car I assembled from a bare frame to something nearly street legal. You are capable of more than your mind leads you to believe. Break down those barriers and surprise yourself. Achieve what you didn't think you could. The only failures are the ones who don't try.
I don't think anyone should say that this is or isn't hard, easy, or anything else on a platform like this. The level of difficulty is based on the ability, background and experience of the person attempting it, however easy it may be for you doesn't matter, and really, nobody cares. I'll never understand comments like this. A project like this would be very difficult or impossible for most people. Building something like this would only be simple to those that are experienced with electronics, code writing, robotics, components, and the resources to find relevant information involved. There are things I can do that none of my friends or family could, and things they can do that I can't, its all relative to experience, background, and ability, I would never say " this is easy, or not hard". The comment "not hard" is like telling someone that can't change a car tire that its easy to swap a motor in a car....may be easy to a seasoned mechanic, but not to a person who has no experience in automotive repair. I can easily fix my vehicles, lawn mower and snow blower, repair broken copper or pvc plumbing pipes, repair or replace a roof, build and fly RC planes and helicopters, fix cars, and home appliances, but my friends wouldn't even know begin, nor would they even know where to start to diagnose an issue with their vehicle. See my point? Comments like that are honestly stupid and mean nothing. Congratulations on this being "not hard" for you, its "not hard" for me to build, program, and test automated valve assemblies that go into G.E.'s off shore sites, or to install a fire suppression system's in a large data room, or diagnose and repair my furnace or my car when it breaks. Thats because I have done these things many times, not because its "not hard" to do. Even with my experience with the above listed things, I would struggle to build something like this FPS wasp killer because I haven't ever built something like this. I guess my point is people should think before they post things on platforms like this. And clearly I'm not the only one who agrees with this, I guarantee there were dozens of others that may have wanted to leave a comment like this, but just chose not to take the time like I did here.
Wrong he copied Tony Stark and or Project Sentry Gun from their paintball sentries made years ago. This is nothing new. Then clearly saying tonystark in the video is poking at he knew what he did. Not a genius but smart to do it. I've done it. It's not hard if you know how to build things. Look up Tonystark or project sentry gun two different channels from UA-cam years ago that did this minus the wasps shooting. So it's good to know ppl are giving credit to the ORIGINAL CODE WRITERS FOR THIS INSTEAD OF CLAIMS IT'S CHAtGPT... OH WAIT HE DIDN'T GIVE CREDIT.
As a filmmaker myself, this video is a cinematic masterpiece that told a story with emotion. The lighting, storytelling, the music, and the failures and progress sent shivers down my back. Giving context of your fear of wasps and letting us sympathize with your fear, make shifting tools to solve a problem, and showing us not to be "deathly" afraid of our fear shook me to my core. "If you didn't have to fear failure, if you didn't have to fear death, if you had all the right tools, and you mustered up the courage to try, what would you accomplish?" -Nick, Basically Homeless, Zetta
It boggles my mind how there are people on UA-cam who are not subscribed to you. The content quality is so high, every single video feels original , and somehow you manage to make an RC car, FPS gaming, wasp killing robot inspirational. Awesome fucking creator.
I gotta say, this video moved me. Never would I have thought a Mr. Humus video would leave me reflecting on life itself. But here I am, wiping a tear from my eye, basking in the realization that I have made excuses for the past 8 years as to why I’m not being the gigachad I was born to be. Thank you Nick, I am grateful for the entertainment you have provided me over the years. I shall go forth and ask dumb questions in the pursuit of building cool shit
I have to give praise to the wife who must have a tone of patience with all your projects/dreams. She must be a true blessing. Loved the video that I received randomly on my youtube feed. I'll have to share this one with my brother as he is deathly afraid of wasps as well. He is not allergic, just terrified of them. Nice work, enjoyed every second of the video.
I (15) actualy tryed this with the help of my 3d Printer and coding skills i got the gimbal and car moving but completly underestimated actualy putting it together. respect
I know I’m a couple weeks late, but if you modified it to shoot like rock salt using compressed air it would scatter a bit more and accuracy wouldn’t matter as much - you could just hook a giant hopper up to it as an ammo supply, but im not sure about quickly releasing pressure
I forgot how much pain robotics was at the beginning. I am a 3 year FRC student and I love your vids. I run all the programing and it can be def challenging. I think this was your best vid yet so far. Continue the good work!!
Starting a project as a maker that is so above your skill set, one that seems impossible, but you and actually pull it off? Well that Sir, it is one of the greatest joys of life. Well done!
I’d do almost anything for a microcenter in my city. I used to live next to a couple and it was amazing. Visiting microventer as a kid was like walking into a magical land. I miss it so much now that I move three states away.
I have a feeling that modifying a go-to telescope mount would have made things a lot easier. They're super easy to interface with and are generally constructed to hold v heavy telescopes on them
Such a great Video. Also your talking about getting over fear and don't get limited by thinking I don't have the right tools is soo encouraging. Thank you :)
It’s good to ask questions and you can never ask a stupid question because if you don’t ask, you won’t know it’s all about the little things that you know to paint the bigger picture.
Don't trigger with a servo, use a solenoid. Use a MOSFET to trigger the solenoid. Don't forget a freewheeling diode. Also ask someone, a human, to walk you through specific parts that make sense. You also probably don't need dual video encoders, just compromise on resolution and tack together two video streams into one side by side. Steppers work but they can get upset by too much back torque, i think what you want here is an Odrive kit for the gimbal, i mean, you're sponsored anyway and have "unlimited" parts budget.
Yeah, people often act like this guy does everything on his own, but having a unlimited wallet and no 9-5 job or boss is a huge weight lift. I mean, if the prices he showed are true, he easily spent over 10k on this robot. I make 100k a year and even I dont have disposable 10k, at least not easily.
I have a fear of abandoned cars, went to retrieve a frisbee, and the car it landed under had a damn near engine bay sized wasp nest, got stung A LOT, my parents gave me Motrin and I had an even worse allergic reaction to that (lifelong ibuprofen allergy yay!) and actually had to go to the hospital at that point. All of this was relayed to me in the hospital after I woke up so I know exactly how Mr. homeless here feels
@chriswilbur1356 damn! That's a series of unfortunate events lol. I'm luckily not allergic, but when I was very young I got stung twice by the same wasp playing on a playground and a couple years later stepped on a mud wasp nest and saw one crawl into a hole in my crocs and sting me. Can't stand them, they're mean 😂
love the video and I'm proud of you that you managed to make the device you just made, not just that I also love the camera angles, the editing, and that amazing calm music that suits the video well. Great job at your project keep it up!
… wasps… there wasps… let’s not be killing any bees now… we like bees… mostly. Also can we have a nuclear option for not just wasps, but mosquitoes too?
This is genuinely one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve watched in a very long time. From the story telling, to the cinematography, to the idea itself, incredible. This deserves waaaaay more views. I’ve never seen this channel before, but this earned my subscription 🫡.
No joke. Rebuild the robot in unreal engine and go around the neighborhood shooting wasps and other pests. If you shoot the cat the game reports you to the aspca and uninstalls itself.
I really respect your understanding of life and the world, you can’t convey such accurate morals without having learned them yourself, loving the videos bro a few years ago you were playing siege with a Wii remote and now you’re making movies with your wife and children, nothing but the best for you man
Last year I had a wasp infestation in my walls. They were mainly by my desk in the basement. Over the winter as they hibernated, they were feasted on by spiders. Now I have a spider problem. I'm boutta hook up axe spray and a lighter to a Jetson Orin with LLM control ... Not really. Hehe....he....
As a long time airsoft and FPS player I could give some pointers for a potential V2/3/whatever one you're on now. HPS was the right idea, as it provides the highest fire rate with the lowest recoil, however the recoil was still impacting your accuracy in ways that could be mitigated. A good HPS rifle would do a lot of that job while still being fairly lightweight and small. The main thing you want to look for with HPS (and take this with a grain of salt I'm not an HPS player) is barrel length, pressure, flow rate, and feed rate. Barrel length will change your accuracy and recoil, pressure will change your ROF mainly, flow rate will change all of those, and feed rate/capability will change how consistently and reliably the gun feeds and shoots which can affect accuracy. Actually, on top of that, I've completely forgotten hop, BB weight, and density, which entirely change how your BB flies. Just being a bit of an airsoft nerd myself I saw your flight patterns and said "those could be entirely flat and straight and you should be hitting your target" Don't just think of airsoft as a surrogate for firearms. As someone who's used both, they're incredibly different and you should absolutely treat them as such. You'd be surprised to find how much detail there is in the dynamics of airsoft. BB's can fly straight as an arrow, or bullet I suppose, given the right conditions. You've proved yourself someone who makes things as a result of learning. Try airsoft and you might learn a bit more :)
I told my mom about how you thought you could breathe out of your butt when you were a kid and she’s been giggling for a while lol. Just thought I should remind you that you told us that.
What is up with your editing my dawg? Like the music and the lighting and the inspirational quotes/speeches. Got my whole hand over my mouth in awe 🫢 on my lunch break. Exceptional.
Since it helped so much, it's only fair to now write a program that lets ChatGPT try controlling the robot. Feed it images from the camera and define text commands that let it actuate motors etc. If nothing else, it would be a really good demonstration of why AI safety needs to be taken very seriously right now.
As someone who went through the phase of deathly fear of wasps and hornets, thank you for this. Now I didn’t need to wast- SPEND that much time and money to get over the fear, but I appreciate the effort. Try watching some of the hornet kings videos
I don't usually comment on sponsors but micro center is my dream store lol. Best buy is already dangerous (so is hobby lobby for those who know that place) and microcenter is a more nerdy much larger best buy. I just wish I lived closer to one! Closest ones in Milwaukee Wisconsin which is hours away. 😖

What would you accomplish?" That is so true! I wanted to build a car, but I didn't think I was capable. I didn't want to face the financial repercussions of failure. But I dove in and have really surprised myself. Here I am with a car I assembled from a bare frame to something nearly street legal. You are capable of more than your mind leads you to believe. Break down those barriers and surprise yourself. Achieve what you didn't think you could. The only failures are the ones who don't try.
Welcome to robotics. It is hard and expensive but, very rewarding.
Not hard
@@PortalAuditor🤓🤓
I don't think anyone should say that this is or isn't hard, easy, or anything else on a platform like this. The level of difficulty is based on the ability, background and experience of the person attempting it, however easy it may be for you doesn't matter, and really, nobody cares. I'll never understand comments like this. A project like this would be very difficult or impossible for most people. Building something like this would only be simple to those that are experienced with electronics, code writing, robotics, components, and the resources to find relevant information involved.
There are things I can do that none of my friends or family could, and things they can do that I can't, its all relative to experience, background, and ability, I would never say " this is easy, or not hard". The comment "not hard" is like telling someone that can't change a car tire that its easy to swap a motor in a car....may be easy to a seasoned mechanic, but not to a person who has no experience in automotive repair. I can easily fix my vehicles, lawn mower and snow blower, repair broken copper or pvc plumbing pipes, repair or replace a roof, build and fly RC planes and helicopters, fix cars, and home appliances, but my friends wouldn't even know begin, nor would they even know where to start to diagnose an issue with their vehicle. See my point? Comments like that are honestly stupid and mean nothing. Congratulations on this being "not hard" for you, its "not hard" for me to build, program, and test automated valve assemblies that go into G.E.'s off shore sites, or to install a fire suppression system's in a large data room, or diagnose and repair my furnace or my car when it breaks. Thats because I have done these things many times, not because its "not hard" to do. Even with my experience with the above listed things, I would struggle to build something like this FPS wasp killer because I haven't ever built something like this. I guess my point is people should think before they post things on platforms like this. And clearly I'm not the only one who agrees with this, I guarantee there were dozens of others that may have wanted to leave a comment like this, but just chose not to take the time like I did here.
Bro comes every once in a while. Cooks, eats and leaves no crumbs. I really enjoy these bangers
You made a wasp CIWS at home, Jesus christ youre a genius
Close In Wasp Splatter
Feel bad for anyone down range 😂
Wrong he copied Tony Stark and or Project Sentry Gun from their paintball sentries made years ago. This is nothing new. Then clearly saying tonystark in the video is poking at he knew what he did. Not a genius but smart to do it. I've done it. It's not hard if you know how to build things. Look up Tonystark or project sentry gun two different channels from UA-cam years ago that did this minus the wasps shooting. So it's good to know ppl are giving credit to the ORIGINAL CODE WRITERS FOR THIS INSTEAD OF CLAIMS IT'S CHAtGPT... OH WAIT HE DIDN'T GIVE CREDIT.

Brrrrrrrrrt
As a filmmaker myself, this video is a cinematic masterpiece that told a story with emotion. The lighting, storytelling, the music, and the failures and progress sent shivers down my back. Giving context of your fear of wasps and letting us sympathize with your fear, make shifting tools to solve a problem, and showing us not to be "deathly" afraid of our fear shook me to my core.
"If you didn't have to fear failure, if you didn't have to fear death, if you had all the right tools, and you mustered up the courage to try, what would you accomplish?"
-Nick, Basically Homeless, Zetta
Possibly the best video I’ve ever watched
It boggles my mind how there are people on UA-cam who are not subscribed to you. The content quality is so high, every single video feels original , and somehow you manage to make an RC car, FPS gaming, wasp killing robot inspirational. Awesome fucking creator.
some people prefer watching logan paul/sneako brainrot.
@@s.sradon9782 How does bro go from basically homeless to "logan paul/sneako brainrot" ❓
I gotta say, this video moved me. Never would I have thought a Mr. Humus video would leave me reflecting on life itself. But here I am, wiping a tear from my eye, basking in the realization that I have made excuses for the past 8 years as to why I’m not being the gigachad I was born to be. Thank you Nick, I am grateful for the entertainment you have provided me over the years. I shall go forth and ask dumb questions in the pursuit of building cool shit
First you need to get sponsors to pay for everything, makes the job a lot easier.
The fear the day I make someone mad and they build a tactical robot with a 5000 round drum mag that drives itself up to my house
Yea...that's why there's some major regulations on this type of stuff. Beware
I have to give praise to the wife who must have a tone of patience with all your projects/dreams. She must be a true blessing. Loved the video that I received randomly on my youtube feed. I'll have to share this one with my brother as he is deathly afraid of wasps as well. He is not allergic, just terrified of them. Nice work, enjoyed every second of the video.
I don’t know why but I love this kind of silly stuff
NPC comment go brrr.

Oh, yes, he'll build the super death ray from "Don't build the Super Death Ray"
And with the help of chat GPT 😂
I (15) actualy tryed this with the help of my 3d Printer and coding skills i got the gimbal and car moving but completly underestimated actualy putting it together. respect
How has NASA not hired this man yet
because they don't do actual science.
I know I’m a couple weeks late, but if you modified it to shoot like rock salt using compressed air it would scatter a bit more and accuracy wouldn’t matter as much - you could just hook a giant hopper up to it as an ammo supply, but im not sure about quickly releasing pressure
I forgot how much pain robotics was at the beginning. I am a 3 year FRC student and I love your vids. I run all the programing and it can be def challenging. I think this was your best vid yet so far. Continue the good work!!
Average US military industry dreams
That larvae falling out at 31:05 was insane
Did that wasp catch it as it was falling? That was pretty cool
Starting a project as a maker that is so above your skill set, one that seems impossible, but you and actually pull it off? Well that Sir, it is one of the greatest joys of life.
Well done!
Not many wasps were hurt in the making of this video.
0:22 the intro was Literally a R6 agent video

I’d do almost anything for a microcenter in my city. I used to live next to a couple and it was amazing. Visiting microventer as a kid was like walking into a magical land. I miss it so much now that I move three states away.
I have a feeling that modifying a go-to telescope mount would have made things a lot easier. They're super easy to interface with and are generally constructed to hold v heavy telescopes on them
Such a great Video. Also your talking about getting over fear and don't get limited by thinking I don't have the right tools is soo encouraging. Thank you :)
Guy at 9:10 was like: "That guy's sure enjoying himself."
why do you always have to hit me with the most inspirational stuff in your silly videos
is nobody gonna tell him about the DJI rc car with a controllable gel blaster?
Nonono! Let him cook 😂
Gel blaster is a good idea. No cleanup. I also think the salt gun would work and would have good spread.
It’s good to ask questions and you can never ask a stupid question because if you don’t ask, you won’t know it’s all about the little things that you know to paint the bigger picture.
Fantastic video bro. Your commentary makes it epic. Keep up the great work
Big dumb man is unironically big dumb genius consistently.
Don't trigger with a servo, use a solenoid. Use a MOSFET to trigger the solenoid. Don't forget a freewheeling diode. Also ask someone, a human, to walk you through specific parts that make sense. You also probably don't need dual video encoders, just compromise on resolution and tack together two video streams into one side by side.
Steppers work but they can get upset by too much back torque, i think what you want here is an Odrive kit for the gimbal, i mean, you're sponsored anyway and have "unlimited" parts budget.
Yeah, people often act like this guy does everything on his own, but having a unlimited wallet and no 9-5 job or boss is a huge weight lift. I mean, if the prices he showed are true, he easily spent over 10k on this robot.
I make 100k a year and even I dont have disposable 10k, at least not easily.
Wasps had this coming, they're responsible for too much childhood trauma 😂
I have a fear of abandoned cars, went to retrieve a frisbee, and the car it landed under had a damn near engine bay sized wasp nest, got stung A LOT, my parents gave me Motrin and I had an even worse allergic reaction to that (lifelong ibuprofen allergy yay!) and actually had to go to the hospital at that point. All of this was relayed to me in the hospital after I woke up so I know exactly how Mr. homeless here feels
@chriswilbur1356 damn! That's a series of unfortunate events lol. I'm luckily not allergic, but when I was very young I got stung twice by the same wasp playing on a playground and a couple years later stepped on a mud wasp nest and saw one crawl into a hole in my crocs and sting me. Can't stand them, they're mean 😂
love the video and I'm proud of you that you managed to make the device you just made, not just that I also love the camera angles, the editing, and that amazing calm music that suits the video well. Great job at your project keep it up!
regular microcenter customer's amusement is the highlight of my day
I built a robot to confront my biggest fear, the robot uprising.
"Now i am become death, the destroyer of bees."
… wasps… there wasps… let’s not be killing any bees now… we like bees… mostly. Also can we have a nuclear option for not just wasps, but mosquitoes too?

This was beautiful man. I loved the ending. So many times I stopped myself out of fear of failure and I’m so glad I finally took the leap of faith.
Honestly remarkable modern filmmaking and storytelling.
This is genuinely one of the best UA-cam videos I’ve watched in a very long time. From the story telling, to the cinematography, to the idea itself, incredible. This deserves waaaaay more views. I’ve never seen this channel before, but this earned my subscription 🫡.
why does this actually look like a fun game. this needs to be a commercial item
No joke. Rebuild the robot in unreal engine and go around the neighborhood shooting wasps and other pests. If you shoot the cat the game reports you to the aspca and uninstalls itself.
You and Michael Reeves are the funniest tech youtubers in the world
back in my day, bro was just trying to get his damn acog back
As someone who both hates wasps and loves cool sci-fi esque builds, this is one of the best things I think I've ever seen. This is based beyond words.
The editing of this video is totally epic! Absolutely amazing edit, must have taken a huge amount of time and skill...bravo!
lol i can just imagine his neighbors going "where the heck are all the plastic bb's coming from?" lmao
I really respect your understanding of life and the world, you can’t convey such accurate morals without having learned them yourself, loving the videos bro a few years ago you were playing siege with a Wii remote and now you’re making movies with your wife and children, nothing but the best for you man
Last year I had a wasp infestation in my walls. They were mainly by my desk in the basement.
Over the winter as they hibernated, they were feasted on by spiders.
Now I have a spider problem.
I'm boutta hook up axe spray and a lighter to a Jetson Orin with LLM control

Not really. Hehe....he....
Bro, im not gonna lie, this is one of the coolest, most fire videos i have ever seen. Excellent job, Dr. Homeless. 🔥🔥🔥
This is the coolest thing I've ever seen someone do. you inspire me with every video. Your children have the best dad!
Spawn killing at the end there
Will definitely be patched in a later version from the map smh
As a long time airsoft and FPS player I could give some pointers for a potential V2/3/whatever one you're on now. HPS was the right idea, as it provides the highest fire rate with the lowest recoil, however the recoil was still impacting your accuracy in ways that could be mitigated. A good HPS rifle would do a lot of that job while still being fairly lightweight and small. The main thing you want to look for with HPS (and take this with a grain of salt I'm not an HPS player) is barrel length, pressure, flow rate, and feed rate. Barrel length will change your accuracy and recoil, pressure will change your ROF mainly, flow rate will change all of those, and feed rate/capability will change how consistently and reliably the gun feeds and shoots which can affect accuracy. Actually, on top of that, I've completely forgotten hop, BB weight, and density, which entirely change how your BB flies. Just being a bit of an airsoft nerd myself I saw your flight patterns and said "those could be entirely flat and straight and you should be hitting your target"
Don't just think of airsoft as a surrogate for firearms. As someone who's used both, they're incredibly different and you should absolutely treat them as such. You'd be surprised to find how much detail there is in the dynamics of airsoft. BB's can fly straight as an arrow, or bullet I suppose, given the right conditions. You've proved yourself someone who makes things as a result of learning. Try airsoft and you might learn a bit more :)
I told my mom about how you thought you could breathe out of your butt when you were a kid and she’s been giggling for a while lol. Just thought I should remind you that you told us that.
What is up with your editing my dawg? Like the music and the lighting and the inspirational quotes/speeches. Got my whole hand over my mouth in awe 🫢 on my lunch break. Exceptional.
At 9:10 when he grabs his box and ole buddy in the back just slowly nods in approval 😂
"The holy war against Death" goes hard
30:38 its fkn headshot
9:05 OMG WTF. i haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Bro i got tears on my face. keep up the good work!
Since it helped so much, it's only fair to now write a program that lets ChatGPT try controlling the robot. Feed it images from the camera and define text commands that let it actuate motors etc.
If nothing else, it would be a really good demonstration of why AI safety needs to be taken very seriously right now.
Okay this is impressive. Great camera work, excellent storytelling, and legendary Project.
As someone who went through the phase of deathly fear of wasps and hornets, thank you for this. Now I didn’t need to wast- SPEND that much time and money to get over the fear, but I appreciate the effort. Try watching some of the hornet kings videos

I don't usually comment on sponsors but micro center is my dream store lol. Best buy is already dangerous (so is hobby lobby for those who know that place) and microcenter is a more nerdy much larger best buy. I just wish I lived closer to one!
