My older child is in college for CAD design and this type of video could be a required viewing as far as the design and prototyping process. I've forwarded it to them already.
Agreed. I do all kinda of hobbies. I'll micro focus on one thing for a month at a time. Only now, after a couple of years, do I feel comfortable with some of my work
This has to be one of my favorite videos you've done in a while. The collaboration with Bill Doran and the creative process between Bill and Adam was so much fun.
@5:33 "I don't have to be able to picture a full design in my head, i can just keep drawing shapes until something becomes apparent to me. Until like an idea or a theme starts to shake itself loose." As someone who is lacking a bit of direction in life, this really spoke to me.
I love the interactions between bill and the tested team it was a joy to watch them show norm how to cast and working together like this with Adam is amazing as well also I’d love to be able to get the files for this droid I’d LOVE to add lights and all sorts of different customization
Adam’s sponsored content is the best there is! They are amazing at choosing “ads” that are interesting for us fans, they always feel honest and the type of contest is always spot on! ❤
I’ve really come around to the philosophy that Adam talks about where things “reveal” themselves to you throughout the creative process, instead of trying to force something into existence. It’s affected my short story writing in a great way. It’s also fun because it makes it okay to not know the answer when someone asks you something, because it’s almost like the answer is there somewhere but even you, the creator, don’t know. It gives a particular sort of life to a world.
I like planning things out but I have noticed I get good results from either long-term planning, or picking, like, a theme or a couple words or something then trying to follow where that goes, and the latter takes less time.
Just what i was thinking. Adam probably didn't want to say anything even slightly negative after the amazing job he'd done. I bet they came up with something off camera though.
It has wheels. The only way it can passively balance is if its centre of mass is below the axis it pivots from. With the funny camber, this can only be described as "the line between the centre of the plane of each wheel through the centre of its contact patch on the ground". It looks like there's a tiny bit of the body below that, so the model boat trick (lead shot mixed with epoxy poured in) might work. Possibly a better way to make it passively balance would be to add weights which drop down to the inner side of each wheel (or within each wheel) but are rigidly connected to the wheel hubs. This gives you more distance below the axis so you can use less weight to balance it. This also allows the body to be entirely above the axis it pivots on, which makes the illusion of it defying physics a lot more convincing. Then moving the weight forward or backward by adding weight to the afterburner would only make the robot look up or down while balancing, and can't make it balance. Passive balancing would be great, because then it works as a desk model, can be driven around with low acceleration using a regular RC control system or can be driven around fast with an active self-balancing control system.
This has a very Trade Federation feel to it. The shell is reminiscent of a battle droid head and the camber of the wheels looks like the Hailfire Droid
This was probably my favorite Tested video to date! So awesome to see Adam and Bill flex their creative muscles together. As someone who enjoys 3d printing, design, and modeling... I could watch these videos all day!
I love when the universe (and/or Tested) delivers quality "on-time" information... just started learning Fusion a couple months ago and through the frustration has been delivered subtle hints of what the future holds. Then I see this master and it's like meeting the pope after graduating catholic middle-school. Love you guys. Keep it up.
When he said "one day build" sketched it out, and minutes later a full 3D model appeared, I questioned my own modelling skill and life choices. At least they clarified it was 4 days of modelling and printing at 25:22
A one day build often refers to the assembly time, not necessarily the design and planning stages. He wanted to design something that wouldn't take days to assemble like a room scale model would require.
I am sure Autodesk is happy with this episode. I first used Autodesk Autocad Version 2 back in the mid 80's for circuit board layouts. I then used almost all of their products over the next 35 years with Fusion becoming my go-to design tool in my retirement years.
@@-danR I worked on 3D engineering software back in the 90's when it was 10x harder than Fusion. I suggest going through a RUclips class but have a project in mind as you are doing it. I focus on the project and then figure out how the software can get me there.
You what I like about this design is that it looks like some in universe droid engineer/enthusiast took an old battle droid’s head and made a new cute and quirky droid for fun.
I would love to see a little puppetry and lights added to this build to really bring out the personality. What a fun project! Maker tech is amazing these days.
This process was so straight forward coupled with Bill Doran's technically perfect execution in Fusion makes for a satisfying video to watch and learn from. Being a Blender user I'm starting to create models to 3D print from and this video def helps! Thanks Adam and Bill!
I could see the glimmer in Adams eyes as the ideas started running through his head with printability tricks like print in place, alignment dowels, shadow lines, tabs etc. I feel like maybe well see more CAD from Adam going forth.
It's a treat to see the process of someone who knows how to work within the constraints of 3d printing, the assembly design was just as impressive as the droid's design.
amazing timing for me, ive spent all day in Fusion 360 learning how to use it. i just got a CNC, and CAM/CAD is super new to me. very exciting to see it here in such a fun way!
7:15 - I love that as soon as I saw the 3D CAD render, I immediately knew the physical object that the "exhaust pipe" was from. I have that same physical object.
DUDE! You did not just casually design and create like... my favorite thing I've seen you make on this channel!?!? Ok no I did love watching you machine that revolver. But there was something so utterly organic about this creation process it's inspiring. I LOVE that you approached it from this mindset of... well just try things out and see what kind of ideas I get FROM doing that process. It feels so impersonal, so without ego? And yet imbibes the project with so much clear and evident heart and personality. The way this toy is moving around is just genius. Like, I actually *want* one. I want to see 6 of them roving about, too!
Quit nicotine simply by staying occupied working on projects thanks to inspiration from Tested & Adam (and of course watching the amazing content they deliver).
I was expecting a single piece static model but the result was truly impressive, this is one of most incredible videos on the channel, i can imagine a full working prototype made with all tested team like the star field series it would be amazing developing all the parts and fit the electronics in there. For those who wonder how much a 3d print shrinks it depends of the printer itself, the band, the model and the type (if it’s a resin, pla, nylon, etc), but as I’ve measured various models over the years the average shrinking distance it’s 0.02mm, it could seems a trivial thing but on small models and precision tasks like tread a bolt it can be important consider make slightly bigger holes on your model
You know its good content when you click off at the end of the video with a smile on your face…. Thank your for an amazing childhood and thank you for continuing for continuing into me having my first child(you already know im going to raise her on tested and mythbusters) THANK YOU!!!!
Honestly, looks like the front end of an old tractor, they can have the wheels that tilt in to avoid crushing crops. This is why missions to moon and Mars will certainly have 3-D printers as being able to produce replacement parts or tools will be priceless.
I like that the little guy has sepeperate suspension for each wheel so he can LEAN into a curve when speeding down a hallway or over a road like real cars tends to do. Lean into the curve to take it faster and cleaner. Really nice attention to detail. Sincerly, a car mechanic.
Loved that. I would love love love if Bill could do a quick overview start to finish of how he build the 3D model. Even just going through his timeline. That would be amazing. Thanks so much for sharing. Really enjoyed this one.
Adam, glue a counter-weight in the underside of the rear nacelle or in the exhaust fairing so the little guy balances on his own. Also, like to see some patina, distressed coating details, and definitely treaded wheels. Droid designation: "TAL-N" (talon) full sensor array clandestine stalking operations.
Please give us a ODB where you paint and kitbash this guy! I love him and I'd love to see all the little details and story elements Adam adds to his pieces!! Thanks for sharing :)
I love this little guy, I really love the self balancing wheels concept and for some reason I was think that those wheels could shift horizontally and become small hover propellers giving the droid a flight mode
Having played around with Fusion360 quite a bit for tiny home projects and 3D printing, it's awesome to see it applied to the process from sketch to actual physical model. Turns out I'm doing a lot of things right already, still I love the stuff I learn in your videos Adam! Thanks for the inspiration
fantastic video! love the part where you go back to old school lead and parchment and sketch out the main features of your droid. also the fact that you spend your time making sure to get the character features right is so important to convey personality is wonderful! it's just a shame the competition is only open to US residents and not elsewhere, would have loved to entre this, but it has inspired me to design my own droid non the less! having 3d printers is amazing doing stuff like this too!
It looks like a classic tractor! XD Modernized and with the aesthetics of the Star Wars Droids... I imagine it as a Droid that repairs agricultural machines on a peaceful Star Wars planet with large farms! :)
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen! Even though I currently have zero experience or knowledge of designing I hope to one day learn and love making even a fraction of something the quality you put out!
I love the droid and I can't wait to see the extra greebles and added touches and paint/weathering. Also between this and the Homeworld ship I am having so much fun watching this channel. Keep up all the great builds.
This is one of my favourite episodes in a while! Love you both. Great little droid you managed to create in such a short timeframe! And Bill… modeling in CAD is my happy place too!
This feels like a true in-universe droid that could be marketed tomorrow as a toy for the consumer market. So cool! Sign me up for the first round of sales!!
I don't know what it is, but your voice got me excited about creating stuffs. And I got carried away trying to make a clay model for the first time. Maybe it's the energy you give out.
This guy Fusions. For a piece of software Im not too happy Im paying for (mostly because of the feature decreases/price increases) this is a great ad for it. Outside of the Electronics section it really is intuitive useful software.
im imagining an upgrade to this that makes the wheels flip up and contain rotors to fly like a tilt-rotor. which feels very scifi, this little scout droid zipping around on the ground and suddenly hopping up into the air and flying over some obstacle before collapsing and zipping off on the ground again.
Submit your own design for a droid at www.autodesk.com/droid !
I don't want to make my own, I just want one (or two...or five...) of Adam's!
Looks like a pristine opportunity for lighting and other effects. Maybe tooling coming out of the hubcaps.
Any chance you will release the 3d files so we can print our own?
@@theHardChargerVids I know it's so adorable I love it. I have a lovely metalic gold I got as a sample that would be perfect for this.
@@theHardChargerVids I'd totally make an army of these if the files are made available!
Thanks so much for bringing me in on this project. It was a ton of fun! =)
My older child is in college for CAD design and this type of video could be a required viewing as far as the design and prototyping process. I've forwarded it to them already.
Any chance you guys will release the 3d files so we can print our own?
Will this be added to your website within the Free STL's?
Now make one that fully functional Arduino robot.
Outstanding work on the mechanical functionalities, definitely inspiring
I really hope we get a painting, detailing and weathering pass on this little guy! I love it!
Yes please!
Maybe even an aluminum machined jet engine
Yes 100%
“I’ve spent my whole life sketching and only felt okay at it in the last few years” - a reminder I needed today
Agreed. I do all kinda of hobbies. I'll micro focus on one thing for a month at a time. Only now, after a couple of years, do I feel comfortable with some of my work
This has to be one of my favorite videos you've done in a while. The collaboration with Bill Doran and the creative process between Bill and Adam was so much fun.
Goodness! Thank you!
This guys problem solving is unbelievably impressive. Hes solving problems before they start.. im beyond impressed.
Now we need an RC version that balances itself
James bruton colab maby
If he implemented that following technology they use with drones so it follows you around , that would be truly cool
My dumbass waited the whole video waiting to see the electronics 🤣
@5:33 "I don't have to be able to picture a full design in my head, i can just keep drawing shapes until something becomes apparent to me. Until like an idea or a theme starts to shake itself loose."
As someone who is lacking a bit of direction in life, this really spoke to me.
I LOVE how excited Adam is throughout all of this. I wish we all had shop teachers with this much enthusiasm about our work
I've never wanted to print something so badly in my life please drop the link for the model in the description !!!! It would mean the world !!!♥️♥️♥️
I love the interactions between bill and the tested team it was a joy to watch them show norm how to cast and working together like this with Adam is amazing as well also I’d love to be able to get the files for this droid I’d LOVE to add lights and all sorts of different customization
Adam’s sponsored content is the best there is! They are amazing at choosing “ads” that are interesting for us fans, they always feel honest and the type of contest is always spot on! ❤

It would be cool to have a ballast container in the afterburner so that you could hide washers to get the Droid to balance perfectly
Just what i was thinking. Adam probably didn't want to say anything even slightly negative after the amazing job he'd done. I bet they came up with something off camera though.
@@SoonGone Probably going to drill out the back and fill it with brass rods then cover it with a decorated and painted cap. Quick, easy, hidden.
A 4mm screw would probably do the trick.
It has wheels. The only way it can passively balance is if its centre of mass is below the axis it pivots from. With the funny camber, this can only be described as "the line between the centre of the plane of each wheel through the centre of its contact patch on the ground".

They do have the hoses option.
The dome hub caps and round cross section wheels evoke the feel of old tin toy cars (plus a sprinkle of Zorg ZF-1)
Love it
This has a very Trade Federation feel to it. The shell is reminiscent of a battle droid head and the camber of the wheels looks like the Hailfire Droid
I can totally see this robot made into a remote controlled toy, with wireless camera too. The design is very practical.

RUclips keeps deleting my replies, I'm afraid. Don't know why, they aren't ornery in any way.
I've tried to get used to Fusion and Inventor but 20 years of SolidWorks just leaves me frustrated with both of them.
You what I like about this design is that it looks like some in universe droid engineer/enthusiast took an old battle droid’s head and made a new cute and quirky droid for fun.
It almost looks like some kind of flashlight droid for searching dark and small areas. I could see it being a CIS security perimeter droid.
We love it! Thanks for helping us spread the word about the contest 💛🤖

Adam and Bill collaboration is always great to watch.
The Droid reminds me of my old Gravely 2 wheel garden tractor.
Or a similar model from an old Montgomery Wards or Sears catalogue.
The front end reminds me of an old Wheel Horse riding tractor that I once pulled out of a bush.
Anyone else getting 'Batteries not included' flashbacks? Loved watching the design and thought process, thanks Adam.
Watching adam sketching and working in general honnestly changed how i do it
I'm curious if you'll be releasing the files for this little guy, I would love to print and add him to my collection 😀
This is insanely awesome! I can't believe how fast a couple sketches could turn into a real 3D printed model. Times have truly changed

This was a Triumph! , I'm making a note here "HUGE SUCCESS". It's hard to overstate my satisfaction!
I watch this channel when I’m trying to sober up, you’ve helped me a lot
Quit nicotine simply by staying occupied working on projects thanks to inspiration from Tested & Adam (and of course watching the amazing content they deliver).

I loved everything about this.
You could make a whole series of doing this with different people's droid designs and I'd eat it up.
Id love to see Adam design and build some speakers. There's so much science involved Id love to watch him work through it all.
Bill’s mic placement makes him sound like he’s on old-timer radio 🎙️
Haha!😅 lol, just what I thought! ❤
Plot twist: That's just how he sounds irl
Adaaaaaam Weeeeeeest
It's actually probably not the placement but the EQ and balance.
That is really funny.
Bill is now a real life Alastor XD
It’s always fun to see people competent at whatever they do. Both of you did great.
I'd love if you released these files so we could paint and weather our own!
Aw that was so much fun to watch. I loved watching you two nerd out over this cute little robot
That guy went above and beyond anything Adam ever conceived in his mind.
Flipping AWESOME guys! That 3D print guy is incredible!
Dude. This is literally the coolest thing. What talent tou two have as a team.
This feels more like an ad for Autodesk than an entertaining and informative video on making things from Adam.
This was an amazing depiction of the art process and collaborating with other experts in different fields to make awesome things
I love this little guy, I really love the self balancing wheels concept and for some reason I was think that those wheels could shift horizontally and become small hover propellers giving the droid a flight mode
No matter how far the technology advances ..from the days of Leonardo Di Vinci to now. Every thing starts with a ✏️ pencil and paper 📜
