also maybe he should get an SLA 3d printer (if he doesnt already have one), I think the added accuracy would be useful in certain cases and could make the final iterations of his projects look better
Rubber band wheels really only help with grip and the motor doesn't have much torque so rather than grip it should be harder let's say metal. Trains also use this same method to move a lot of weight with little torque
With all of the practice and knowledge you have gained, it would be great to see you reconsider the robotic ball. It was the first of your projects that I stumbled on, prompting me to subscribe.
i really love this guy i still remember when i stated following you when you had just a few videos and i just found them very interesting. hope you had a lot more resources so that we can see your ideas and imagination evolve much faster. best of luck mate and your videos makes my day a lot happier!!!
I would really love to see some of these project become a series where you refine and test designs for different applications with an end goal of actually building complete prototype devices incorporating many of your designs.
I was playing with PCBmotor at work a few years back for some interesting applications but for some reason people weren't into it; haven't revisited it since, but it's been on the list and I still account for it in some of my own designs that will eventually be prototyped. :-) Thanks for publishing your project.
I'm a big fan of your videos !! It is probably not the major problem for now but when dealing with self-balancing robots, the higher the center of gravity, the easier its is for him to maintain its equilibrium ! It is a bit counter-intuitive but think of when you are trying to balance a stick on your hand, the bigger the stick, the easier it is !
No need for long videos filled with a ton of useless BS just to please RUclips algorithm, you just go straight to the point, everyone understands and everyone wants to see the upcoming evolutions! Great work, you are always super creative!
I've made two wheel robot once, but it was bigger. Try changing the angle of wheels - it should help with stabilisation. Wheelchairs for sports have slightly angled wheels too. Btw I love your PCBs! It's awesome you are trying to make everything small, simple and compact :)
Great work as always, just couple of hints. The tail solution will work better than any balancing method. add that light tail again. make wheels out of PCB, it will be much better than 3D printed ones. add a rubber around those wheels to increase traction.
I think it would really help to add a third really small balance wheel like a tail , that would stop the body from spinning and give the wheels more control
After seeing big hero 6 in high school I started designing my own version of micro bots that I knew how I wanted to work mechanically but couldn’t decide on different motor adaptions. This would have been a great idea
really neat idea, have you thought about making a small gear reduction to the wheel to help deal with the low motor torque? it wont go as fast but hopefully you wont be stalling the motor as much and will over all be smoother and less hard on the fittings.
So you COULD make it from metal, OR you could optimize your print geometry. Some gussets between the main platform and its "bookend" PCB motor coils to keep them from leaning in, extra thickness in the bottom of the main platform to make a "wheelie bar" somehow (maybe put a mount for a bearing, to be used as a central 3rd wheel). You could also make your print thicker, after all you are adding more weight anyway. Some thoughtfully placed thicker sections around the bottom could simultaneously reinforce the corners, and make contact with the ground to prevent flipping. A little extra bulk around the bearings wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Pancake pcb motor..thats awesome..i think you design 2wd...what if just 1 set put in the middle like the ordinary car toys so it can spin both wheel stable? Can't wait next project..awesome.
If you take the plastic spacer part off the header once you solder the headers on the wheels, you'll be able to solder the chassis PCB so it sits much lower. I look forward to seeing this chooch along :D
Great project Carl as always! The shape of it reminds me of an Arduino Bluetooth Controlled Car I made a few months ago (I've also made a vid about it). Keep it up!
Very good work ! You should increase a bit the external diameter of the wheels as the PCB connectors are touching the table. Also, you should use a 2 bearing design per wheel instead of one. This will help you for the stability of the robot by reducing the tilting of the bearing. The bearings could be mounted on the PCB side and the shaft would go through the stator to the wheel. It seems that you are using PLA as 3D print material. If you stay in FDM, PC will give you better results against temperature. If you consider to change 3D printing technology, tough SLA resines are best solution you could find for high temperature and precision.
Can't wait for the next prototype

Wow your circuits are soo well integrated! Just the best!
i love this guy alot because hes always straight to the point and explains in an easy and advanced way what hes doing
So, here comes a new piece of art 🤩.
Suggestion: I think addition of a rubber band on the wheels can hopefully make it work much better😅
also maybe he should get an SLA 3d printer (if he doesnt already have one), I think the added accuracy would be useful in certain cases and could make the final iterations of his projects look better
@@___echo___ Ya. I was thinking so as well😉

First class RUclips Entertainment!
I’ve been doing electronics DIY for years, I have to say this PCB motor opened my eyes. Great content, thanks for sharing.
Mate as a graduate engineer big respect for make a channel on what you love as engineer is awesome
🙏😊
These little contraptions are amazing and I also find your accent to be charming! Great work and I'm so glad I subbed!
Just the name of the video was enough for me to like it. I hope this the start of a great creation! Waiting for what's next!
amazing ,one day the whole world will give attention towards PCB motors
Next up a Segway for ants. But seriously, interesting work!
Tal-ostja. Keep these vids coming. The concept of the motor you are using would lend itself perfectly for sealed propellers for a mini-sub.
Big fan of your work . Awesome 👍👍👍
Can't wait for the improvised version and future robots.
Amazing Work And PCB Robot 👍
Have watched you for only 6 months and your application gets more interesting day by day. Keep up the good work!!!!
Carl, your channel is underrated, this is excellent work. Very interesting projects! Greets from germany.
Your pcbs are a work of art ❤️
🙏
Right bro
Such a cool little robot, definitely could even be a marketable idea but is just plain fun regardless.
With all of the practice and knowledge you have gained, it would be great to see you reconsider the robotic ball. It was the first of your projects that I stumbled on, prompting me to subscribe.
I am working on v2 but it's still facing alot of issues which I have solved yet
Very impressive and cool! Can’t wait to see where you go next with this project.
This is absolutely exceptional.
Hand soldering under a scope is very relaxing.
i really love this guy i still remember when i stated following you when you had just a few videos and i just found them very interesting. hope you had a lot more resources so that we can see your ideas and imagination evolve much faster. best of luck mate and your videos makes my day a lot happier!!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment 😊

Loved the first song! 😆
Yay.....he's back.....most artful and informative video on RUclips..😃😃....keep doing tinier project😊😊......eagerly waiting for part 2.........
I'm a big fan of your videos !!

Love the music. Perfect touch.
Genius like you are changing world
I'll bet your cat loves your projects -- almost had me swipin'. Exquisite stuff, sir. Two bearings per wheel may be in the cards.
I've made two wheel robot once, but it was bigger. Try changing the angle of wheels - it should help with stabilisation. Wheelchairs for sports have slightly angled wheels too. Btw I love your PCBs! It's awesome you are trying to make everything small, simple and compact :)
That's a fantastic idea and would make a very cool spy gadget when it works and has a camera and microphone on it. Like an FPV drone.
You always great & excellent on your experiment, which leads to learn
You amaze me, good sir! I wish I can grow up and do what you do someday.
Yes yes i love all the stuff you have been doing wth flexar but the potential for pcb robots are why i am here.
I would love to do something like this some day
Great and amazing, you have lots of patience
You should consider adding another wheel on top that drives a small reaction wheel for stability. See if that helps
Super cute robot 😀👍!
What an awesome build. Looking forward to the next update
Congrats on 100K!!!
Thanks! 😊
Great work as always, just couple of hints. The tail solution will work better than any balancing method. add that light tail again. make wheels out of PCB, it will be much better than 3D printed ones. add a rubber around those wheels to increase traction.
Nice dude really it provokes my mind to make something
Hi Carl I received the Flexible PCB (x10) i am from Singapore.-Thank you.
Amazing Work.
Really nice made! And you're almost at 100k subscribers! :) :)
Well done man, this is super impressive!
Thanks 😀
Genius! Can’t wait for the next video.
Very cool idea, thanks for sharing your work
I'm studying electronics engineering, and I wish to have the same level of innovation in electronics as you one day.
That's actually more useful than some might assume. Small spaces like conduits and vents are pretty much inaccessible to anything but a snake cam.
You smashed it 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Wow. So good. Well done
Cool video, excited for the redux!
I think it would really help to add a third really small balance wheel like a tail , that would stop the body from spinning and give the wheels more control
You would make a killer flea weight combat robot with this.
Just 2k more until 100k!
After seeing big hero 6 in high school I started designing my own version of micro bots that I knew how I wanted to work mechanically but couldn’t decide on different motor adaptions. This would have been a great idea
Man i love this kind of vid
Menakjubkan...jadi pingin tau tutorial pcb transformator/ travo
Try ordering SLS parts. Milled will come out heavier, while titanium or such 3d printed parts will do the work perfectly
really neat idea, have you thought about making a small gear reduction to the wheel to help deal with the low motor torque? it wont go as fast but hopefully you wont be stalling the motor as much and will over all be smoother and less hard on the fittings.
I love your works❤️

Some thoughtfully placed thicker sections around the bottom could simultaneously reinforce the corners, and make contact with the ground to prevent flipping. A little extra bulk around the bearings wouldn't be a bad idea either.
you should use gyroscopes and a pid controller to keep the robot upright perfectly and to make it go in a straight line
looks great for micro robot actuators
Speechless
great project! thanks
You are very creative 😉 and hardwork.👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I hope you ,best dream.
This is so awesome
You are a genius. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Super cool
wheels are also slipping for instant torque.
BTW, cool as always.
A robot made exclusively out of PCB board would be cool
Excellent work! I think you should consider the stability you would gain from mounting the wheels on a single straight shaft, if that is possible.
you really should try the Loctite GC paste. Room temperature storage, no drying out and always perfect results.
Pancake pcb motor..thats awesome..i think you design 2wd...what if just 1 set put in the middle like the ordinary car toys so it can spin both wheel stable? Can't wait next project..awesome.
Impresionante tío lo que haces eres un grande enserio

Great Scott.
Nice and quite inspiring!
Congratulations for 100 k subscribers 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
🙏😊
I think you are a legend
This is the homemade future of nanites
Impressive stuff!
nice work
SUPERB IDEA!!!!
I believe you should try making wheel axes at slight angle to the main board, that would probably stabilise whole thing a little bit more.
Great work. Clicked that bell 🔔
Can't wait for the next video!
Amazing!👏👏👏
Cool idea 💡👍
So cool!
Nice friend!! Realy nice!!!
Great project Carl as always! The shape of it reminds me of an Arduino Bluetooth Controlled Car I made a few months ago (I've also made a vid about it). Keep it up!
Wow just quality bro ♥️♥️😍
Good to add gyroscope sensor to balance ❤️

Absolutely awesome! But wouldn't everything be easier if it all was way bigger and with 4 wheels?
