Honestly the most smart things are usually simple. That goes for most things. It’s just that most people aren’t able to be creative enough to make even simple things
Redstone is simple. It's a bunch of repeated patterns to achieve the desired result. The difficulty with redstone is that you need to fit it into the designated space without interference. Of course, when everything is accounted for, you'll still need to a lot of thinking to make it work. So it takes time to work it out, which is really where the difficulty is. It takes time.
Cottidae I know that. I’m no stranger to Redstone myself. It’s just that is the thing redstone youtubers say when explaining something the ordinary person sees as magic and witchcraft.

No, I know plenty of fully fledged career engineers. They are not this. This guy is truly a special human and he makes the rest of the engineers in the world look bad.
I think a big part is his hobby is making stuff which just gives so much more experience in the skills he uses for videos then the average person who might be spending their days off playing video games+having 10 years experience with cnc and developing a 3d printer are all elements
He's a very accomplished engineer, software engineer/programmer, and machinist wrapped into one. Mark rober is also a fully fledged career engineer but he dosent fully fabricate the stuff he designs on his own, nor does he do this level of software for the most part.
It's honestly insane how good that guy is. He can write anything he wants and he can actually create it from his own house. And not only that he puts in SO MUCH time into his videos it's more than a full time job.
Stuffmadehere's robot is much more complex. They both use 3 degree of freedom movement, but Stuff's robot does it using 2 motors instead of 3, which already makes it quite difficult. The differential control to tilt the hoop is very clever I think is actually quite tricky to implement without something breaking (which we saw happened multiple times), especially considering the mechanical contraints of the belts. Stuffmadehere only glossed over the ball detection, trajectory calculation and prediction, but that's also more difficult than he made it seem. The surgery robot is absolutely impressive, but from a robotics perspective it's simpler than it looks. The motion detection camera directly gives you coordinates in a 3D space which you can just immediately push into the surgery robot. No extra mathematics really required, apart from converting spatial coordinates into motor input data, but that is quite simple as well. The end effector of the surgery robot also moves in a straight x-y-z-coordinate system, which is also very simple to control with the 3 motors he used. Though I think the mechanical design he used to construct it was splendid! I think from this video we can tell that Michael hasn't had a lot of formal mathematics and robotics training (I think he's mostly a programmer), but I believe he's studying it. I think with every video he's just getting better and better. Can't wait to see his skills in the future! I think both Michael and Stuffmadehere are very impressive and sort of complement each other well though. Michael is an amazing presenter, and Stuff is an outstanding engineer with lots of experience. Would be cool to see them collaborate on something!
Michael is known to be sociable and knows how to network with people. A collab is not an 'if' but a 'when.' Pretty sure he's probably trying to contact StuffMadeHere. I am suddenly reminded of that time he sent Toast a dm before they met but never got a reply.
That feeling when you actually understand the system of equations and how to solve them using matrixes is amazing. I just learned how to do that 2 weeks ago! Great timing, and it makes me feel that maybe there is a point to actually learning all of this stuff.
Did sone research: his name is Shane Wighton, 2012 graduate of UNC Charlotte with BMSE of Mechanical Engineering. He leads a team of 40 engineers at Formlabs NC, where he designs and builds 3d printers. Cool dude!
Him at 7:22 : "I did re-write it and fix some of the bigger issues and it did take me several days of straight programming, too bad it makes for boring video" *doesn't show it* Michael Reeves: "this coding is boring but im gonna show it anyways because of that sweet sweet video length!"
Cicolas Nage hence why I personally prefer SMH. I’m excited to see how his channel progresses. No shade on Mark, his channel’s good and a lot of what he does is very impressive, but I’d take funny over charismatic any day. Plus, the kids thing creeps me out a bit.
Judging by the way his workspace changes over videos and his appearance, I am going to say he has a fair few projects he worked on over the years just laying there ready to be shoved up, like how Destin from SmarterEveryDay does it, he probably just does this because he genuinely enjoys it, he isn't retired, he's just became his own boss. ;)
Michael talking about this guys upload time made me laugh... Michael: talks about uploading in 4 weeks. Me: looks at Michael's last upload. Also me: looks at current date.
