I think the work you're doing on your channel is really well done and legitimately important. You're exposing a lot of people to an intersection of mechanical and electrical engineering that they have probably never considered. Thank you for all the work that goes into making these videos, you should be proud of yourself.
Those motors are trash, no matter how you put it. Cool experiment but it is just not viable.
just use conventional BLDC motors.
@@shyne2643 I think you miss the point.
@@shyne2643 the point is to see what’s possible, not to replace off the shelf BLDC motors.
@@conorstewart2214 He made like 10videos on that and the conclusion of each is that they're just bad.
@@shyne2643 so just because something isn't as good as other solutions it just shouldn't be tried? What an awful attitude to have.
Awesome.. V2 will be self folding ;-) !
Can we launch our own rover to mars as a community?
And powered (or at least rechargeable) by a solar cell
Since the day you released the first pcb motor video I have been waiting for this. It is indescribably satisfying to see this finally come to life. Amazing work as always Carl
Awesome what you have achieved with these pcb motors.
It is phantastic to see this.
I love how you document your process and share with us the failures and wrong decisions along the way. I think that by you sharing openly we learn much more from your experience.
Thank you for your courage.
Very cool. Can't wait to see what you have in mind for the next version. Keep up the great work!
@Mr. Carl, please add the cam module for esp, if possible 🤞 So cool project 😎👌
Such a mad man Carl! I've never seen this type of electronic engineering in my life and you've just mastered it from true trial and error.
You're so creative and are great at solving niche problems that could also be applied in real world applications beyond this one. I'm so excited to see where you end up
You are amazing! Love your content and the way you push the limits of what can be done with just a PCB manufacturer. You are truly an inspiration to many engineers in electronics
Fantastic!!! Congrats Carl on reaching this milestone!! Incredible seeing this come to fruition after all the effort you have put in over the years. Overcoming that torque hurdle will unlock even more possibilities. Way to go and keep going!
Favourite tech youtuber, and I am not joking, you combine all the tech related things I watch, programming, mechanics, new never seen projects, and much more. I love seeing your videos, keep making these cool projects.
This is a project that I never knew about but always wanted to do! Looking forward to the next version!
Too cool! Seeing it roll across the workshop floor helps to put the tiny scale into perspective, astounding all that's packed into that little of a space.
But I love the fact that it's literally a one-PCB robot. Not a robot with only one PCB, a robot that _is_ only one PCB. Motors, chassis, and all. Just wow.
this is SOOOOO COOOOOL CARL! i'm really glad you'll continue to work on it! can't wait to see where it goes. maybe you can find some off the shelf rubber bands or gaskets for the tyres that might be be more grippy and lightweight while being simpler and cheaper for you.
Been a electronics bussiness man your project has an incredible amount of work and (re) engineering design. Congrats!
This is awesome. I saw a project like this done by JPL researching small space probes/rovers using flex PCBs to fold it like origami .
as a student that is interested in electrical engineering, your channel is one that I love to watch!
It'll probably be difficult to fit in that tiny wheel, but have you tried using a Halbach array for the magnets? If you can fit it in, it might just give you the torque you need to really get it moving the way you want.
That seems interesting. Because halbach is stronger mag field, that would increase torque?
Excuse if that is obvious. Still a little zonked from days of relatively tough travel recently.
@@THE_BUDDHA : Yes, that would increase the torque.
Great work, Carl. Thanks for sharing your design development with us.
im currently very stressed because of life, and watching youtube actually helps me relax. nice video mate
Ridiculously amazing work. It's incredible to see one guy have all this knowledge and drive to build a miniature little marvel. Very cool!
its really interesting following along with what you're doing with these flexible PCBs
This is amazing! I'd enjoy seeing the two side panel motors as rigid PCBs with full thickness layers.
your the first person i see to bake boards so casually, your the MVP
When I was a kid, we had these magazines that had the latest news about cartoons or movies for kids. At the end of each magazine was a thin cardboard with cut outs and instructions to build a small paper robot.
I hope for a day when kids can have the joy I had building small paper robots while also actually learning about circuits with the things they make especially since your project has a capability to be used for early STEM classes
I like the way you are exposing your videos: from concept, through design, assembly and final testing. And how you finally make it work after a lot of struggle 😂.
Awesome. Can't wait to see more.
Omg i have been waiting for this moment ever since you started doing PCB motors
Always ends up surprising us with such engineering intricacies! Amazing work!!
I'm constantly impressed and inspired by the creativity here, really love this project. One thing I was was thinking about was why you continued to make the wheels more or less solid when you scaled them up (I'm assuming they aren't solid infill but still). I think to get the benefit of surface area but maintain low weight you could pocket out the design and see a reasonable improvement or just print them with little to no infill. That said, I don't think that's a "cure-all". Really excited for the next video!
Great stuff - very thin flexible 'fingers' or flaps on the tires would increase traction on rough surfaces I think - also the extra weight of the double lipo probably helped traction (but required more torque - trade off).
Keep up the awesome work.
This project is really complex to build, and you’ve done it! Flex body, pcb motor, all wireless : amazing work Carl 👏
This is wild! Can see that as a turning point for self assembling robots and smart sand!
This is super cool, I'm glad you kept in the debugging procees
good demo with very nice ideas and perfect implementation. Thank you for this adventure of troubleshooting !
Great work! I've enjoyed seeing these pcb motors evolve
Very cool. Thought maybe it was going to independently fold itself into shape, maybe for transportation purposes. Maybe that can be a next phase. So cool having flexible boards. Imagining the possibilities
So neat that you can get a foldable PCB back like that. Nice job.
Something I like about your channel is that you share your experience with us
Thank you so much for your video ♥️
I feel like adding even really bad suspension would help a lot. The fact that it's 4 wheel drive doesn't help if less than 4 wheels are touching the ground at the same time. Super sickkk idea though. Very exciting work.
This is so cool. I Love the process!
Love your channel, the projects you make are always so interesting.
Nice Engineering work and thinking. Congratulations.
nice work
our student engineers in embedded systems really like your method of solving problems
Love your work with micro motors and robotics.
This is my favourite project of yours so far
This was very interesting and satisfying to saw building a Foldable Rover.😊 Great work Carl.💯👌
no jokes the coolest thing ive found all week, keep em coming
Amazing Work Carl , happy to see the fruits of your effort , Well done :D
I envy your dedication and consistency in exploring these sub-optimal designs, because most of them have very niche, if any, uses. However, there is no way forward and no innovation without considering non-obvious solutions.
Amazing work. Nicely done.
great concept, great documentation, and great presentation. 👍
WOW! you really outdid yourself in this one!...i LOVE IT!
Improving day by day great work. Best idea for electronic projects 🎉❤❤❤
Very creative! Congrats
You have mastered the niche of flex and rigid flex PCB. Congratulations👏
Well done, You work is beautiful and great job.
Really awesome project!!
Love how creative your ideas are!
Vera inspirazzjoni bro!
Your work is just so cool man, every video is better than the last
Excellent! Engineering is as much about the journey towards a solution as the solution itself! Good to see the successes and not-quite-successes.
Inspirational!
Use the same pcb coils but remove the wheels and use rubber band pulleys to gear down to smaller wheels for more torque. Could use lego to attach to your bot to a small wheel platform prototype.
Probably the cutest robot I’ve ever seen… Also very cool design!
Great Work Carl.. 👍
REally cool video....I think no body will do such creative ideas in such samller sizes.....Keep impressing us with your work....
You have a unique mind. Great job.
SO DAMNG GOOOOOOOOOD BROOOO, amazing and creative work. loving it
I just don't understand why this channel is not the most subscribed EE channel! Your designs are so innovative and your videos are so interesting. Maybe it's the thick accent? Whatever it is, you are doing amazing stuff, keep it up!
Awesome project!!
Your PCB design-style is so impressive
Amazing work 🔥
Hello Carl,
Beautiful channel and nice tutorials.
PCBWay is by far my favorite RUclips advertiser. If those guys ever turn off the taps, RUclips will jump the shark.
Excellent educational video, you're definitely exploring the boundaries of using BLDC motors, one suggestion if I may, is to explore if possible to use a combination of BLDC and dc motors i.e. instead of using magnets try to use another pcb connected to the M board with brushes (if you can find that small) in that way you can reduce the weight & cost of the motor + Possibly achieving more torch by switching this new pcb with different voltage polarity and phase angle. Again great to see another Maltese having a top notch RUclips channel. Proset
Your PCB motor has serious potential! Keep it up
I’ll say it again, I miss Malta so much!!! I’m English, although learned to speak Maltese while I was living there.
It has a special place in my heart!!

Man trying to find his way to NASA! Don't stop the videos please, love them!
Great job!
Growing up, we had little cars called Stompers. Loved the. They ran on a single AA battery, and they were fun. Not fast by any stretch, but fun. This reminded me of them.
wow so many cool little ideas, super inspiring man💫
yeyyyy, nice 1 Mr Bugeja.....BIG up the Maltese massive!!
this is legitimately incredible, bravo
What a great project!
You should make the next one 6WD, with the distance between axles less than the distance between wheel centerline for easier turning. The increased body could have room for internal battery leaving payload or camera for the top. It also looks like further refinement of the motors for smoother low speed operation will do well for this. Can’t wait to see where this goes!
This is great mate!! keep it up
Awesome Work...
i bet pcbway is having a blast designing these crazy pcbs
Great example of engineering thinking. Keep it up!
Well done, keep it up, thank you for sharing it with us :)
I liked the video before even started, I knew it is going to be awesome .
absolut insane, no words
great work
Awesome project! Very inspiring video.
Cool idea with sharing CLK+DATA lines... I wonder why it ended up not working.
i cant even describe how cool this is!
Absolutely genius!
When AGI will be researching youtube for how to build things it will take notes from this definitely
So cool!
Maybe adding a little elastic material to wheels for grip helps. It can help have better traction with the surface and reduce slip..
Very cool project! If you want to expand on this project, consider other shapes instead of a box. You could probably make a functional suspension out of the flexible PCB quite easily. Also, for a lighter robot, thinner wheels might actually work in your favor if all the wheels are making good contact with the ground.
@CarlBugeja you are THE Electronics God. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
