  • BB-8 replicas continue to impress us! We meet up with droid builder Mike Senna to take a look under the hood of his newest BB-8 robot replica. Mike, who first made a fully animated BB-8 in time for Star Wars: The Force Awakens last year, has now built a static model that is more practical for display and convention appearances. Here's how it works!

    My son and I love watching your coverage of these. Norm, you really do your research, and conduct great interviews with experts - one of my favorite things to listen to/watch on Tested.

      Norm does his research? I have to disagree, he gets nearly all of his facts very, very, very incorrect.

      @marcfielding2460 4 года назад +3

      Err not really, this build would allow me to connect a camera and AI to an Rpi inside the body, James's whilst awesome relies on magnets to hold the head on which means we need another power supply and processing unit to add cameras and rpi

    • @Afeeq1011
      @Afeeq1011 8 лет назад

      Brendan Chambers what i meant is i knew people are going to mention J.Bruton whenever there are bb8 videos. I've seen it before, surely it will happen again in future vids.. M.Senna's bb8 isn't bad, he's better than anyone who hasn't build a bb8, that's for sure..

    • @PHeMoX
      @PHeMoX 8 лет назад +3

      +Brendan Chambers Actually, that's what happens when the fools over at Tested misrepresent facts. Burton's BB8 droids are all better than this one, even more impressive is how back then he didn't even quite know how the BB8 in the movie worked, yet he tried to make a moving one anyway.

    To all the people talking about the other guy's BB8... Seriously? Why are you trying to bring someone up by putting another person down. "So and sos is way better!" "that other dude's moves" people seem to have missed the entire point... this is a STATIC replica. Mike has already make fully-moving versions. And I'm sure the other fellow appreciates you using his name to put this guy down even though you clearly know nothing about this guy's work.

  • @wyattmedley2426

      @TATTIEPICKER 8 лет назад

      James Burton never gave up on the full moving working version.
      he is on his third version of BB8 and making it better every time. I don't think he would settle for a static BB8.

      @TheMikeSenna 8 лет назад +8

      Yeah Wyatt. Neither James nor I can figure out why people feel they have to take sides on RUclips. We both are just trying to show people what we do in different ways. We are not using each other as a gauge for success. And although I am continuing development on my driving BB8, why do the people commenting here even care if I am or not? Thanks for your support and all the rest of the positive commenters support too!

    I can see how a stationary BB-8 would be a nice display; however, I would like to see someone build one with a good drive system. James Bruton has come the closest to get it right so far, but I think we still have a long way's to go.

  • @Adnegoo

Even just to have someone take my idea and make it real would be great but I have no place, money or contacts to make that happen in any way.

  • @allluckyseven
    @allluckyseven 8 лет назад

    Nice work on the elbow/servos mechanism. Still wanna see a fully funcional BB-8, though, if that's possible!
    I've seen James' (and commented on his channel, been following him for years now), but his isn't there yet. He convinced me on the necessity of the flywheel, but I don't really like that banana-shaped rail design, because it makes his BB-8 roll back and forth only, not in every direction, as (I believe) it should.

    Why is everyone saying James Bruton's BB-8 is better? His fully painted MK 2 looks like pretty bad. And you can't compare his MK 3 yet, because it's not painted. It might look better when it's painted or it might look weird like his MK 2. If people are saying his is better because it moves, then they're forgetting that Mike made his version move, too.

    • @nopechucktesta9506
      @nopechucktesta9506 8 лет назад +9

      +GEONE I agree James Bruton's version is kinda shitty looking. His fully moving BB-8 is pretty cool, though. But not better than Mike's IMO.

    • @rogerjohnexperience
      @rogerjohnexperience 8 лет назад +3

      It's not about how it looks (I have no problem with how xrobots' looks) it's about the functionality and the video series is about building and coding it not so much about the finished product.

    • @byeforever
      @byeforever 8 лет назад +3

      +GEONE I think it's a bit unfair to compare Mike and James' BB-8's as they cater to different audiences. Mike is super detail oriented and makes his replicas very screen accurate, where as James doesn't care much about accuracy as much as he does exploring the mechanics and solving problems. One thing I notice about Mike (and find kinda irritating), is that he is very secretive about his solutions. He even says so himself in this video. Granted, we did get a look inside this time, but he keeps his moving replica mechanics under wraps. James, on the other hand, walks us through his entire build and provides resources on his site for anyone who wants to build along with him. I find that super interesting even if his replicas aren't all that clean looking.

      @TheMikeSenna 8 лет назад +7

      +elfurioso I get that people would like to see the insides of my driving one, but I'm on version 4 and they don't work well in my opinion. Too many people would buy parts and find out they spent money on a design that does not work. This is an actual issue with the BB8 Builders group right now. The members are buying parts on drives that are not tested and do not work. On the R2 side all my work has been tested and therefore all my designs are released to that club. There is no one in that club that has provided designs and let anyone who wants to copy and sell them as they like. I have done this. I constantly have people over to explain the R2 build. Until my design is solid, I simply do not like to release it. It's an art form to me, like a painting.

    any plans on building working parts that come out on the static model? ? As wouldn't be as hard opposing to the moving one.

      +Frank Smith Yeah, it needs the lighter!

      +Cody Ward excellent idea :-) that would've be so cool seeing working gadgets even his little grab arm coming out.

      +Cody Ward Yes! Unfortunately the panel for that is on the bottom side of my build. The build was done before the film. My future static build (lol, not even started) will make an attempt at that feature and have better body detail! Thanks for watching! :)
