You will be so very missed. You're the face of SparkFun to me, and the fun, positivity and humour that you brought to these videos was unbeatable. Enjoy your retirement Rob 👍
Sad to see you go--you carried the torch well and even brought it to new, great heights. I have always admired your camera presence, jokes, and fun antics with your projects. I know you'll continue to do amazing things, Rob!
I missed you both. I watched both of you for so many years. Spent tens of thousands with sparkfun. You two always inspire me. Big big kudos to you both. Sparkfun is super lucky to have you guys.
All the very best to you Rob! I always enjoy the "personality" side of the sparkfun videos as much as the content. You brought a smile that shows just how much you enjoy making and learning new things to Sparkfun. Go forth and Enjoy!
Rob! You put the fun in Sparkfun! I enjoyed every video! I deny your retirement; get back to work! You made Sparkfun a more valued brand. I made numerous purchases based on your videos. Much success to and yours! Cheers!
Make people laugh and leave the world better than you found it. Nice job Rob! I've enjoyed your videos, gadgets, and crazy fun outlook on life. And your honesty in this one was heartwarming. Have an excellent retirement!
We will miss you, Rob. I loved showing Rob Reynolds videos to my middle school engineering students. Your videos were instructive, entertaining, very useful, and often hilarious. Enjoy your new adventures!
Best wishes and happy continued hacking! I always enjoyed your videos even it was for a product I wasn't personally interested in. Thank you for the entertainment.
This really was a dream job you had there, Rob. Best wishes! Make sure they let you keep your employee discount, you were the face for the company for so many years. 😉
Love your videos Rob and your sense of humour. Always was amazed how you could remember your script, especially when they contained lots of data. Outtakes were the best when you couldn’t remember. Best of luck with your future mate 👍
Best wishes Rob. Always enjoyed your videos and learned a lot from them. Your humor and enthusiasm for electronics projects really made your segments a fun watch.
What a great run, Rob. You should, and must, be very proud of what you accomplished. Your position and antics are unique among companies on the interwebs. So in wishing you Bon Voyage, I'll agree with all the wonderful things your fans have said in these comments (yes, I read every one!) and shout a hearty "Hear, Hear!". I'll also add one more accolade, which I'm surprised noone mentioned before: Your quiet humility was an inspiration to me, and I'm sure, to a generation of young, budding engineers. As a guy who is almost old enough to be your father, I'm am far from being a "budding engineer" anymore, but I learned much from your time at SparkFun. Maybe not so much engineering, but more how to be a decent human being. Farewell, and Following Seas, Rob. I look forward to learning of your continued adventures.
Rob, wow! Just wow! I can’t believe you’ll not be doing videos. You sir made things, anything, interesting! Even if you addressed a subject that I didn’t have much interest in YOU made it interesting. Best wishes in your future endeavors and maybe you’ll have the opportunity in the future to do a cameo appearance in a Sparkfun video. God bless.
No doubt you had some decent sized shoes to fill, but the shoes you're leaving behind are even larger. I always enjoyed walking past your desk to see what you were working on and admired the amount of talent and effort it took to not only show off the product but be as entertaining as you were, all for a short UA-cam video. Thank you for the years of entertainment you've created, and I'm selfishly saddened to see you move on to your next chapter.
You will be so very missed. You're the face of SparkFun to me, and the fun, positivity and humour that you brought to these videos was unbeatable. Enjoy your retirement Rob 👍
We are gonna miss you a lot Rob.
But happy to know that you continued with new projects.
Enjoy, happy retirement.

Noooooo!! Rob is the fun in sparkfun, ok I accept, grudgingly, enjoy your new life and wish you the best! 😊
This trauma feels familiar 😢. Goodbye Rob. Best wishes for the future.
Noooooo, it can't be true. Somebody flag his passport or something
Beautiful. But you know you can't retire from your passion.
Ah to work the job of your dreams if only for a while. Congratulations.
So this is the last video with a spark of fun in it.
Booooo Rob is leaving. Good for him, though.
