Scratch Building "Clutch" The Industrial Vacuum Robot
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 мар 2023
- In this video, I scratch build a miniature robot named "Clutch" using a small engine fuel filter and other items from my junk bins. For this project I looked to one of my all-time favorite childhood toys, the Armatron from Radio Shack, as inspiration for the build. I incorporated clamp-like hands for the robot that are reminiscent of the gripping claw on the original toy. Custom weathering and distressing round out this exciting build.

Stay tuned as I scratch build more robots, and various other props and models.

Great little machine! Now to get him to clean up my dystopian desk!! Nicely done Mark ‼️
Should get in the bot bash from Bill making stuff
New robot! Thanks Mark!
Thanks Neil!
Very cool bot. I think you should have put some dust and debris inside on the filter. Cleaver idea.
Another awesome build!!!
Thanks Cerise! I'm glad you enjoyed the build!
Mark I really like Your work, its very genuine and well thought out, I am A sub.
Whay a great build. He came out so realistic. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Very impressive build. Brilliant work
The true annihilator of dust and mites.
COOL..!
Thank you!
Love this robot! Very convincing and practical :) You should definitely join Bill's Big Bot Bash
Great job on this one! Amazing weathering results...keep up the great work
Thank you Danny! I appreciate it. I'm working on more exciting projects now and hope to be able to share them very soon.
Nice work dude
Thank you!
Great! Cool idea with that filter 👌colours are 👌too
Thanks ModellbauGeschichten! I've been eyeing that filter for a while now for something like this! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪. I just want to to say I Love you creative videos 😃👍
Nice build Mark. Love the weathering. Looks great.
Thank you!
A very imaginative design.
Thanks securityrobot!
very cool great imagination
Thank you Fran!
Looks amazing! I have to admit when I saw the thumbnail my eyes were immediately drawn to the fuel filter as I've owned a few VWs back in the day and those little fuel filters were a bit of a bane to me from time to time. A much nicer use for them in this little guy! Great job!
Thanks EncouragingThings! Glad I was able to leave you with a positive impression of the filters! 😁 I would have to agree that I also prefer this usage of them myself given my own personal experiences! Glad you enjoyed the build and thanks for sharing!
Very cool build
Thank you Robert!
That is just awesome , l imagine this vacuum bot on a retro Sci-fi film cleaning up in a boffins workshop 😄 👍
Thank you! I didn't start out with a vacuum robot in mind. It just kinda happened and so I ran with it! 😂
WALL-E's long lost cousin!
Yes Deborah! I didn't plan it that way but I can definitely see the resemblance!
Nice vac bot. I have a armatron, now I want to dig it out of storage. (I hope I took out the batteries).
LOL Iscog! Yes, I hope you took out the batteries as well! If not....you may not be able to get them out! I loved the Armatron, so much so, that I've considered buying one on Ebay just to have one again. I wish I had never gotten rid of mine, but there are only so many things that make it from your childhood to adulthood, and unfortunately, I'm not even sure what happened to mine. It's been a while! Glad you enjoyed the build, and please do let me know if you were able to get your Armatron out of storage!
Vwdy nice service bot, kind of got Wall-e vibes with this little guy (a service bot still going strong years after civilisation has fallen).
I've always thought see-thru filters like this one were cool and wanted to work one into a robot design, but never thought to make it the body. Very creative!! Love the gripper claws you made here...definately stealing this design. 😁
Thanks for sharing and keep on keeping on!!
Thanks Earl! I'm glad you enjoyed the build and I'm definitely getting some Wall-e feedback on this robot, although I have to say, I didn't plan it that way this time! Feel free to copy my design! I'm honored!
Nice! Woulda really have liked to seen the weathering process on this. I have a little trouble with mine.
Jeff, I'll do a video soon where I go into more detail with the weathering so you can see it step by step. It's taken me a long time to figure out (and I still have a long way to go) but it's not too difficult to achieve the weathering that I do once you get the hang of it. I'm happy to try and help you with your weathering techniques if you would like. Just let me know where you are getting stuck, or have challenges, and I'll see what I can do to assist.
Also, if you haven't already, please check out a couple of my other videos where I show some of the detailing steps. I show some of my process in this one: ruclips.net/video/CJ6Qm_x2OuE/видео.html
@@makingwithmark thanks. Keep up the great work.
@@jeffwalters7404 Thanks Jeff!
@@jeffwalters7404 Thanks!
It's VACUDROID!! Awesome build. I don't want to be picky, but are you using baking powder, or baking soda? I've heard of the soda being used, but not the powder. (Plus, baking soda is cheaper...😁) Thanks in advance!!!
Hi Alan. Yes, it's baking powder! I've been meaning to try baking soda but haven't so far. I may give it a try and do a comparison video for anyone interested. Glad you enjoyed the build.
Love the Vacu-Droid model. Could be used as a robot in the Wall-E movie. Love the whole construction and design. Never heard of using baking soda / powder. What for effect gives that on the glue?
