If we can get it running... the possibilities are endless! Fire extinguisher duty. Extra camera man. Can pass tools. Could turn it into a large-form 3D printer, or even a robotic CNC machine. Could give it a sword. Could turn it into a VR simulator... so many options! Comment your ideas below!

Jarvis for ironman

you could slap on a MIG welder make some software and do metal 3d printing

the Hacksmith give it a fire extinguisher for you iron man hands

teach it to find the perfect elasticity for a pink dildo to flip it and stick it to the wall

Teach it to play chess

...GLaDOS?

On your left

It's 29 years old

Dum-E from iron man

Looks pretty beat up.

That a Huge Ctrl box!

Are you guys still giving the pubg mini pans

No... That contest ended sorry!

Hey! It's dum e from iron man

I think those are air raid sirens

WE’VE GOT A HULK!!!!!!

I was under the impression that 480 V only exists as 3 Phase wiring? On the other side: your american wiring is somewhat strange. Why would anyone find 110V acceptable, I'd be worried that my vacuum cleaner would melt the wiring ^^

the Hacksmith Had to do some conversion there. For normal sockets 1.5mm^2 gets used, for sockets at which a washing machine, a dryer or another high consumption device will be plugged in 2.5mm^2 gets installed. 1.5mm^2 is about 15 AWG (is that GA?) and 2.5mm^2 should be about 13 AWG. I didn't know that at 110v there would only be 16a. I always thought that the low voltage would be balanced out by a higher amperage.

+Jan Kühnemund Thanks! 480 is typically 3 phase, but like we said in the video the controller seemed to accept single - might not have worked with the robot attached though! Just curious though, what's standard wire size in German for 220v15A? Everything here is 16ga for 110v15A

the Hacksmith I honestly didn't expect an answer. So thanks for that. While I normally abhore it when people tell YouTubers how much of a fan they are if they get an answer, I have to say that your and your team's work is very inspiring for me (I'm currently studying computer science in Germany). Hope that you get that jetpack going! And yes I do understand that 110V is the standard over the pond, but I don't understand why, considering that copper has become a rare Ressource (and insulation hasn't)

110 is standard in Canada

It’s my birthday 🎂🍰🎁 yeeeeeeeeek awesome dab dab

seen those arms being used in combination with an extruder to make the ultimate 3d printer the one i've seen was in haarlem the netherlands https://www.3dmakerszone.com/eng2.html they might actually be able to help you converting it to run an say centroid acorn another option is to use it as a cnc extention for say a lathe holding the bit working the metal like a woodcarver would

Jarvis was like. “Oh look what my human dragged in”

At 2:40 the videos approval ratings just went sky high. Nothing better then random cattage

Honestly if I passed a person on the highway with a fucking robot arm on the back of their truck, I would give them a thumbs up.

Was it me seeing things or were the cables coiled up inside the control box I thought I saw a connecter

Hi is there any hooking space on top of robot to carry it with crane by hooking to anchor?

he kind of looks like a young Wolverine. Cute.

Make Thor's Hammer!

do you live in ontario

He Really looks like Wolverine doesn't he ???????

What the heck is "Cagigi" ?

+Mitch Ramey kijiji

you could make a crazy good forklift

ok i still think you can still make some really cool things with it

+Sam Kindl it's payload is only 30kg

HES IN CANADA?!

you need to change your garage or your work place

I didn't think about that

Why? Do you know how expensive it would be to get a bigger place?

You should be able to use a transformer to step up from 240 vac to 480 vac without any issues. During robot zone mod builds my company typically powers 4 to 8 robots on one 240 vac to 480 vac transformer

Yeah, getting a transformer is the easy part =P

I must have missed the part you said you only had single phase

+anthony knapp still need 3-phase though

I was going to say they like iron man to much when I saw the Jarvis cat, then I remembered my puppy named Leia

2:08 song name?

I remember that Mana potions channel made a trebuchet with one of these I wonder what you guys could do with it if you were evil

Love that jackets. They're great

Can you please build a robot that can fight

robots take over da worlllddd

OMG Jarvis is sooooooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The idea of having this machine is more exciting than thinking of what to do with it.

MAKE A SWORD ROBOT

(also your cat is cute)

you should be in the next iron man movie

I see a AI in that thing in the future

If you can't get it working that would be one hell of a shop "mascot" with a little soap and maybe paint.

you rock man. I subed you at a thousand and now it's close a milion

1 more step to becoming tony stark.

Can I have a Jarvis please? :D

just starting to watch your vids and they are really good so i am going to stay up all night just watching your videos

Omg I live near the lowes where you were at beside the Walmart omg

looks like a giant dummy from ironman lol

It needs a name

He looks like Tony Stark and Thomas Logan's love child....

Put wheels under it and some heavy dc motors or wait Does that giant ass power box have to be in range? Well in that case shit

CANADA BITCHS

Make it the fire extinguisher robot from Iron man :3

going across the America-Canada border with that thing must have been SO much fun...

it looked like you went to america to buy the thing, then came back through the border. must have mistaken something else for it.

Why do you think we went across the border... we are canadian lol

I actually program these robots for a living, I've personally traveled to Toluca Mexico and programmed the Nachi robots for the Fiat 500 back in 2010. For such an old robot you have there... all i have got to say is good luck finding parts, and yes there is a ton of safety in the controller but if it is anything like the newer models like the ones i have programmed, they can easily be jumped out. I haven't touched a Nachi in years so I do not remember much about them, I mostly know Fanuc robots now.

You only paid $500? Dude that is a steal.. The cheapest I have seen older ones go that are used was like $3000 and that was for some really banged up looking ones....

wolverine anyone?

I love your cat!

Your Canadian me too !!!!

he looks like non muscular wolverine

w e

Could you make a giant robot with a cockpit

You look like wolverine 1:34

Congratulations to tha channel!

Who would have thought that Christmas can come this early? It's not even a month yet!

Use the servo motors to make a giant Battlebot !!!

The cat called Jarvis :D Nice

Good luck! Looks like a beast, would be awesome to see it operational.

Wait, if your cat's named Jarvis, what are you going to call the arm?

Thanks for the clarification. Keep up the good work!

+Ewolf 7 Tony's AI is called Jarvis ;-) His arm is DUM-E or his nickname for it "butter fingers" :)

"i dont know what to do with my hands" - Ricky Bobby

I used to deliver pallets to that plastic company. With what I know about how hard they run their machines, I'd be amazed if that piece of crap even works. They were probably selling it for a reason, and that reason most-certainly was not because they were upgrading lol. That very forklift that put the pallet on your trailer almost took my head off when it lost a drive wheel a few years ago. If you want any helpful advice, in the future, whenever you go there, make sure you stand where nothing can hurt you, or one of those dumbasses will see to it that you get hurt. You have no idea how many people die every year, in North America, as a result of forklift accidents. To top that off, most people who die in forklift accidents are not the operators themselves, but the people who get crushed/pinned to death when the operator fucks up.

Wow! Great to hear that you got such an exciting finding! Good luck! If that power issue cannot be solved by hacking, you can also use temporary a diesel generator - if you know somebody which got one.

ok got i got the 12016 thing

Perfect minion, could bake cookies and stroke the cat...love it guys, great video, really thought it was going to end in tears towards the end :)

You mentioned in your comment that it could possibly hand you tools and put out fires, just by a controller. Although a cool idea, I feel as though in a real fire accident, it would take too much time to grab the controller and put it out. Is there any possible way you could use a raspberry pi program to have a simple voice activation script attached to it?

+the Hacksmith *facepalms ugh I'm such a moron lol, well whatever you plan to do with it I'm looking forward to it!

+bootlegged_cake hate to burst your bubble, but the fire extinguisher part was a joke ;-) We'll do it for a funny skit, but this robot isn't saving the garage from any fires! :P

imagine the things you could print with that.... then again, imagine the amount of filament you would need......................

this is sick i want one

Wait, you haven't hit a million yet, but you have an industrial robot arm?! HOW?!

@the Hacksmith I did watch the whole video, but still! That's a huge robot arm!! And, um... Nice job on the thumbnail. (I spent about 3 minutes laughing when i finally noticed the dunce cap.)

try watching the whole video...? I bought it for less than scrap value... out of my own pocket lol

That's bad ass but in watching the whole video...it might be easier to just build your own from your own design vs restoring that thing! Looks like a nightmare project even with a team of people on it.

How nice there cat is called Jarvis 😲😲

Your cat is named Jarvis

I just love this channel!!!!!

can you make a web shooter??

paint it hotrod red and gold

You should talk to some of the other big youtubers, like RiceGum or KSI. They makes tons of money and are always trying to find ways of wasting it away. They might be interested in giving you guys like 10k considering Ricegum blows $700 on shoes every other day. No joke though. If you tweet at them they might respond. They could also grow your channel. Consider that stuff.

Please put a dunce cap on it. please

Oh you don't know how much you just made my day.

+Tabletop Newtype check my Instagram ;-)

hacksmith i have been dreaming of making web shooters sense i was 5 yrs old so can you try to make some

Looks like you could do with a gantry crane in your workshop.

I wouldn't trust them either... buildings have to be built specifically to support an overhead crane, thats why usually a steel structure is added into the building to support the gantry. Something we don't have room for and don't really need for the amount of heavy lifting we do. Hoping to get a high-lift pallet jack at some point, all we really need in the shop :) Building #2 will have a shop crane :)

Surely the walls will be though? I would have thought in Canuckistan walls on steel framed buildings are designed to withstand pretty significant snow-loads. I'd see about attaching some rails to the walls and have a gantry that moves on those in one axis, and a winch carriage that moves along that gantry in the other.

+James Bradwell if only our ceiling could support one

I just noticed that Sergey Brin is subscribed to your channel lol

what if you got sponsored by google, then the possibilities ARE endless!

the Hacksmith 😲

Whoa... it does seem like him... :0

It is "the" Sergey Brin when I click on it it takes me to his official Google+ page check it yourself it is him https://plus.google.com/+SergeyBrin

Haha I doubt that's "the" Sergey Brin, not the co-founder of google anyway...

call the robot "Mary!"

Find a field engineer who's experienced with this type of robot and work out a maintenance contract, stat!

+aqueousone it would cost too much. I suspect this would be a few solid weeks of work even for a pro :(

Re-wind the transformers in the controller to work off of single-phase 240 or 120. I had an electronics teacher in high school who got a very similar robot arm from a local university. Initially, it did not work but then he re-wound the transformers and it booted up. A couple of us did some pull-ups hanging from it... good times.

Well once we take it apart we'll quickly find out! That would be an ideal scenario!

It would depend on the way the controller transformer is wired. If it is wye, then you could undo the wye, and break it out so that each one of the 3 core windings are fed from the same 1-phase supply (honestly, not sure if that would work, there would be no path for the flux in the core to go). You could also remove the two outer windings and re-wind the center winding to provide the voltage it is expecting. Also, the controller probably just does 3-phase rectification for a high-voltage DC bus to power the arm, so all you really need to do is feed that rectification stage by...a re-wound phase fed by 240 (preferable) or 120.

+Matthew From haha nice -- that doesn't solve the 3-phase issues though :(

I saw your captain America shield on outrageous acts of science Congrats

When are we going to see the batman grappling ascension device

what a waste of money.

+Burnt Toast hardly, we could literally double our money if we sold it for scrap metal. Besides, this video alone has almost paid for it ;-)

The way they got that robot off the trailer is really engineers at their finest 😂😂

I just saw this at the incredible AvE channel: https://youtu.be/ZqnfLHhuuUQ

Okay sorry good work on everything in the shop you should get to work on the tumbler project

Jesus man, chill

the Hacksmith what other projects are you working on

Sorry I did not want to write that

the Hacksmith pp

+Blue Beetle gaming not yet

we call it kuka

+Adam Mosonyi it's a Nachi, not a KUKA ;-)

hello my friend, all your videos are beautiful have always been a fan of yours, and now I also have a channel, sorry for my english :) follow you from Sicily you also subscribe to my channel if you like, you are great :)

TBH this could've been 3 minutes long

the Hacksmith does YouTube still factor in how much of the video you watch?

It could have, but YouTube favours longer videos.

can you make a workin spider man web shooter please it would be super cool
