The Most Viral Marketing Strategy of 2022 (A Remote Controlled Car with a QR Code)
Просмотров 7582 года назад
This is how my friend Ryland and I created the funniest marketing stunt my school has ever seen. Using just an RC car, cardboard, and paper, we were able to get over half the school to scan the QR code and read about our club. More videos on the QR code car (or as I like to call it, QaR), may come out soon, as we experiment more with driving it in different locations :) If you saw the car at sc...

How I Built My Own Basketball Scoreboard (From Scratch!)
Просмотров 29 тыс.2 года назад
Hi again! This is a video showcasing one of my older yet more ambitious projects; a fully functional basketball scoreboard! Because professional scoreboards are incredibly expensive, I decided to build my own. It turned out quite well in my opinion, and features almost all the qualities of a professional scoreboard for less than a tenth of the price. Hope you enjoy! :) Music Used: 0:40 to 5:05 ...
DIY Affordable Track Timer
Просмотров 12 тыс.3 года назад
Hey everyone! Because my track and field season is rapidly approaching, I wanted a way to record and track my progress and improvement throughout the season. Conventional track timing systems can cost thousands of dollars, but with a few parts lying around and some more ordered off the internet, I was able to build a system that can time me accurately and easily, for just shy of $100. Music Use...
A (not so) Electric Bike
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
This is a submission for the Arduino Day 2021 Challenge. Since I’ve been biking a lot lately, I wanted to add a system to help me better communicate with cars. I added a brake light, a front light, a turn signal, a horn, and a GPS speedometer to my bike. All of it is powered by an Arduino Pro MEGA and displays its info on two 1.3 inch screens. Because I do cross country and soccer, I usually am...
How a Computer Works (In Simplest Terms)
Просмотров 3604 года назад
Learn how a computer works! This is an 8 bit computer I build based off of the design created by Ben Eater. Stay tuned for more videos about this!
Hey Collin I'm not that savvy yet to build this. How much would you charge to make me one?
Refine and monetize quizza and take it to y combinator. Also you can look into building a remote oild change startup that helps people get car oil change at home without having to go to a dealership. This also can be taken to y combinator.
very good video
I love Makers Portfolios to watch, Love from 3rd world country 😅🤣
Hello. We are from Latvia. I am very interested in the Track Timer you have created. Can you please send the specification? Can I understand what things you have used. It would be useful for us in training and mini race I hope for your answer
Hi! I've responded on instagram :)
Wow, what a great project, I'll soon do it, greetings from Mexico👌💪
Hi Colin : I managed to build your track timer. It was working for a while but the the time has stop working The clock will not run when in sprint/ manual mode. Also when in lap the clock will run but the lap time will count without any anything passing the sensor. Hope you can point me in the right direction. Many thanks. Lincoln
Hi Lincoln, usually when this happens it means the two modules are not correctly connected to each other. Make sure the start module is receiving numbers (distance in cm)
Collin, I wasn't able to find the parts list in the link from a few years ago. Is it still available? I think my boys might enjoy making one of these.
Yes! Sadly the Arduino page hasn't been working for a while but the project and parts are still up on Hackster www.hackster.io/collin-w/easy-and-affordable-track-timing-system-dcc6f9
@@CollinWentzien Except the schematics to print the box have been deleted. Help!!!
@@Datasciguy99 Hackster always says that for some reason, you can just use the download button in the top right of each file to download them and they should work fine
What SAT score you got?

Ciao ho ripreso in mano questo progetto, e secondo me hai fatto un errore nello schema, stai alimentando NRF24L01 a 5V, questo modulo va alimentato a 3,3V non a 5V come scrivi tu.
Hi! The nRF24L01 module I used has a converter built in to decrease the voltage from 5V to 3v3. However, if yours doesn't have that converter then I would suggest running it straight off of the arduino's 3v3 rail.
Very nice system. I want to do something like that for cycling races.
Thank you! Good luck with your project :)
Does anybody know which PC case he is using for his PC Build?
Yes! It's the ThorZone Mjolnir :)
@@CollinWentzien Thanks
Hi Collin, congratulations, thanks for sharing the project. In your opinion, is it possible to do a similar project using infrared sensor (E18-D80NK)?
Thanks! Yes you can use that sensor however be aware that its range only goes up to 80 cm or .8 meters, which is slightly less than three feet. Keep that in mind as it will work for running right next to the sensor but not for the further out lanes
Hmm, can this be used in motorsports timing?
I don't see why not!
SOOOO, you need a job??
If you have positions open I would love to talk to you about working something out, my email is collwentzi@gmail.com :)
yessss tambur!
Hi everyone! Here's a list of where I did (and didn't get into). Hope this helps answer any questions :) Accepted: Wisconsin Boulder Santa Clara University Boston University Colorado State Northeastern Cal Poly SLO Santa Cruz Waitlisted: Carnegie Mellon U of Michigan Ann Arbor U of Illinois Urbana Champaign Vanderbilt UC Davis UC Irvine UC Santa Barbara Rejected: MIT CalTech University of Washington Georgia Tech Cornell Stanford Columbia Northwestern Washington University in St. Louis USC UC Berkeley UC San Diego UCLA Currently attending at Cal Poly SLO. Keep in mind that this obviously isn't everything they base applications of, and many schools don't accept maker portfolios. Good luck!
Awesome maker. Did you get in?
I need this device how should I contact
Hi! You can reach me at collwentzi@gmail.com or my instagram @collin.wentzien
Can you make these and sell them? i am willing to buy one as long as its not expensive and with that same buzzer model
Hey! I haven't checked parts prices in a long while but off the top of my head I would say between 400-500 for parts and labor. If that interests you, shoot me an email collwentzi@gmail.com
Hello! I was just searching for a solution to support my daugthers sprint training, and I found this, after I went into the readymade solutions starting at 500 Euro…so I am not sure if I can really assemble this, but is it able to get some assembled one from you? Moreover I could not find the project on the Arduino page any more….So, getting an assembled version would be great! And maybe there are other parts available now? I really likt the idea, that you also have a sound that links to reaction speed…one could also think to place two of them along the track to record e.g. speed between 10 and 30 meters? Thank you! Best! Andreas
what is the best positioning for the sensor? because the detection is not the line but a cone
Dude we want your help
Hi! What can I help with?
Congratulations Collin, keep making stuff.
Wishing you all the best. Let us please know if you get in, bcs this is really nice maker portfolio. I’m in my sophomore year and will try for MIT next school year (but this year xd)
Good luck to you too! Don't worry, I'll post a comment after I get decisions back with the results :)
All the best Collin👏
That gps/light indicator device is so cool
Thanks! I have a short video covering it on this channel as well :)
Love it!!!
The prelude is rad
Idk why the algo recommended this, but I’d hire you in a heartbeat. I am convinced that I’d be able to throw any problem your way and you’d be able to solve them.
Fuck yeah collin
I built your track&field timer like 7 months ago, that's what got me into making stuff! I'm also a senior applying MIT, but I'm mostly making the maker portfolio for the sake of it since I don't have that much good stuff. The technical writeup is a pain. Good Luck!
That's awesome! Good luck to you as well!
Rando from the algorithm but really cool projects for sure! I hope the best for you!
I'm very proud of you Collin, keep on being a maker!
Randomly came across this with the algorithm. I think you have some really awesome projects! Keep doing what youre doing!! I myself am a eng student and If youre already at this level, I think you would kill it and hope you get into the school you aim for!
Damn this guy is pretty awesome #1 mujeriego
mit bros we are so back
very impressive Collin
Another great video, kept me waiting!
can you try making a hockey one? i subbed, can you also make one for me if that is possible? a hockey one with penalties, shots on goal, period, time, and scores with a actual buzzer?
Yes it's definitely possible to make a hockey scoreboard. If you want more details feel free to message me on instagram (in description) or email me (on yt profile)
ok
Hello, can you explain me how you applied the board to depth? I'm a very beginner and I didn't really understand what you did, I'd appreciate it a lot
Hi! What exactly do you mean applied the board?
Brilliant! Congrats young man!
Is there any delay between the two modules, and if there is, how much? In case you reply and there is some delay, how could I fix this?
Hi! To be completely honest, I did not get an exact number for delay, but I did do some eyeballing and it seems to be pretty much instant. If you wanted to fix some delay, I'd have the modules run a test when first powered on to send a packet and see how long it takes to receive the packet. In my opinion, the lack of a RTC module is more inaccurate than the potential delay haha
dude, how do you only have 255 subscribers? You are killing it!
Hey man, can I contact you on gmail or ig regarding some doubts on a similar project?
Hello
Can I buy it
Email me or dm on instagram and we can figure something out
If you were to sell this how much would it be
Parts would be $300ish and it would take a few weeks for me to make so probably $600 ish at the minimum
@@CollinWentzien Ah, Not Bad For A Homemade
How much for a scoreboard?
