“I lost my finger” Man, I dig how you incorporate all these dif techniques into your builds! Thanks for having a plethora of talents!

@reforzar 6 лет назад

Push it real good.

@wesley9735 6 лет назад

so it's a sex toy? Ist it soft touch with a lil tenderness

@PossiblyNic 6 лет назад

Can I rename Alexa to "Kronk" and have he pull a lever instead? I just need an excuse to yell "PULL THE LEVER KRONK"

@reforzar 6 лет назад

Spelled Right Samurai wrong lever!

@randyrodriguez4643 6 лет назад

Why do we even HAVE that lever?!?

@sheroqueer5651 6 лет назад

"The ping pong table isn't responding" thank you science

Le monde de Léah MacBunny mmmmmmm

@robbiet9531 6 лет назад

That was silly and imaginative. Very creative. The possibilities are endless with those combined.

@connormccarter9581 6 лет назад

Bob..... I think this may be the coolest thing I have seen all month... Dude keep it up and thank you!

@vincentferrari 6 лет назад

Bob is becoming more random than The King of Random :D Seriously love this idea. It's goofy, yet has tons of hidden practicality in it.

@SNBoggs 5 лет назад

I love this video! I got an Echo Dot for Christmas and have been doing lots of research on automation. I love the creativity you used to solve a problem. Keep up the good work Bob!

@ashutoshswain4342 6 лет назад

You have got so much creativity. I am pretty sure your kids and your family are very proud of you.

@mariah4451 6 лет назад

Still giggling at your reaction to your epoxy thumb. So funny ;-)

@ericosterhout7564 6 лет назад

Bob that was awesome. I can only imagine the conversations that would come up in an fully automated home using fingers that activate everything. Great work!

@CuddleStories 4 года назад

Well made tutorial. Finally a true professional! I've been through so many videos that are poorly made that are always missing some very important part.

@nitchmakes7550 6 лет назад

Bob how do you come up with such creative ideas? It’s amazing what ideas you come up with!

@MakeSomething 6 лет назад

I LOVE THIS!!

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Thanks dude!

@AnthonyRose 6 лет назад

Hi Dave

@BillCookmagic 4 года назад

I just got my Glowforge yesterday. This will be my next project. There's nothing taxing about walking to the machine to push the button, but three times already, I've walked over to check out the cut, and I hadn't pushed the damn button. So. Thanks, Bob. You're gonna help fix the problem.

@harvesthunt 6 лет назад

Love this project. Will have to look through your stuff some more to see what other electronic projects you have, specifically automation! Thanks for sharing

@colemanbecker1392 6 лет назад

You started my day off right. Thank you Bob!

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Excellent!

@BenDE37 6 лет назад

Judging by the title, I'll go ahead and mute my Echo just to be safe

@Ledcke 6 лет назад

I love the outtakes! Very cool. Thanks for making automation easier to understand.

@nicolasetheve 6 лет назад

The key part in this project is clearly to make the actuator look like a finger. Great video

@The_Linux_User 6 лет назад

It's one of the dumbest, silliest things I've ever seen, but it serves a purpose, so it's good!

@FigmentsMade 6 лет назад

One-handed ping pong skills for the win! "The ping pong table isn't responding." 😂 Awesome video and I love this project! 👌

@bleenpaper3390 6 лет назад

Well, if you play ping pong with two handy You and me really have to worry! :D But even though, it was with his left hand :> (He isn't left handed, right? ^^)

@FigmentsMade 6 лет назад

I don't know about you but I certainly couldn't catch the ball while holding the paddle and then manage to serve!

@bleenpaper3390 6 лет назад

Ahhhh :D Yeah, now I know what you mean - your right :-]

@FigmentsMade 6 лет назад

Bleen Paper 😁👍

@jeremyhaugen273 6 лет назад

Of course, you want to find a way around the safety precaution... love your stuff, Bob.

@seansysig 6 лет назад

Bob this is a great project. You provided good detail to complete the project successfully. This project would be a good intro for getting into home automation using an Alexa controlled device.

@WatchMeDIYIt 6 лет назад

Had to lower my volume. Too close to my Echo! Nice video, Bob. 😁

@GeneJordan 6 лет назад

Watch Me DIY It - I changed the activation word on my Echo devices to help avoid that.

@PaarthGuptaYT 6 лет назад

that’s funny so hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :)

@davidrobbinsjr.3848 5 лет назад

Haha same here!

@GALAXIE262 5 лет назад

Same here lol

@free2run06 6 лет назад

It's midnight here in South Korea and I have to be up in 6 hours. Sure RU-vid, I got time for one last video.

@Froudd 6 лет назад

Ho Bob, that awesome and hilarious at the same time. It's your funniest project so far in my opinion. Good job Bob. And also super idea the Bits series.

@EFHmusic 6 лет назад

I have a loft bed, and I actually have a stick with a foam hand on the ene, which I use to turn off the lights. It also has a little hook on the end, so I can drop my glasses down. Now I see the most perfect way this could possibly be made. Great vid.

@MakeThings 6 лет назад

Bob, will we be seeing robot Bob (full body epoxy) doing future videos with you calling out commands for Alexa in the next room? Another good one Bob!

@brianzandt4857 6 лет назад

Had a pretty long day, then a notification popped on the screen with your video and that made my day again👌🏼

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Great! Hope you have a great rest of the day!

@crystalsoulslayer 6 лет назад

Awesome. Stuff like this can be genuinely very useful, especially when working with older systems that can't be retrofitted with smart controls for whatever reason. Also, it's objectively hilarious.

@MaltandMake 6 лет назад

That code sounds great, thanks for sharing it. I'm going to try and use it to make my old intercom/door opener 'smart'!

@carloshenriquedamasceno8990 6 лет назад

I loved it Bob! Good job guy!

@MakerProjectLab 6 лет назад

Great project, Bob!

@vincenzoguglielmo230 6 лет назад

Those boards are really cool! I got into it a while back when looking for some sort of pranking device and made mine into a wifi jammer. Cool/funny project!

@theom402 6 лет назад

Love the electronics projects! Excited for more to come

@CjHAnderson 6 лет назад

Totally useless, totally pointless, totally crazed, TOTALLY BRILLIANT! Thrash- on Colin!

@umbertodebernardo514 6 лет назад

After a long hard day at work you absolutely made my day with this :-)

@secretagb 6 лет назад

Love it Bob! Fantastic silly functional build.

@ecrusch 6 лет назад

O man, I was cracking up ! You're awesome Bob ! I absolutely HAVE to think of something to use this tech on. Thanks Bob You rock.

@HumanCreativity 6 лет назад

Hahahahahaha Bob you did it again!

@TheWoodLab 6 лет назад

So awesome - so glad you found your finger! - Jim

@JD_JR 9 месяцев назад

Amazing! Exactly what I was looking for! Excellend work, creativity, and documentation!

@colbuhlemann3378 6 лет назад

DIY home automation is a great thing to tinker around with, especially because commercial products can be a bit expensive. Sometimes a cloud finger is the best way to go! Really enjoyed the vid.

@CheekyD21 6 лет назад

That's ridiculous...ly awesome!!

@AlecSteele 6 лет назад

:O SO AWESOME!!!!

@mikejeskin7420 6 лет назад

Alec Steele u should make a collab with Bob

@binaryteddybear8741 6 лет назад

Hey, great to see you here! Is there any chance of a colab between you two? That would be the best!

@howlinger8610 6 лет назад

Hey alec! Nice to see you here!

@DoItProjects 6 лет назад

Those outlets are crazy! It's a great merging of high tech and low tech. Great work.

@silbosch9927 6 лет назад

This project has everything i like about you and your channel, this is GREAT

@holm5413 6 лет назад

Rediculously awesome!

@Certawin 6 лет назад

OMG! What a riot. Yeah I agree funny and disturbing at the same time. Are you sure Alexa needs to push it real good? Lol.

@felixfromnebraska8648 6 лет назад

What a fun project Bob... Great job!

@bigguy78246 6 лет назад

The background during the add was great. And the end bloopers are always a favorite. I lost my finger

@furthernorthfab 6 лет назад

So nerdy-awesome, Bob.

@MrWhiteDevil619 6 лет назад

Best ping pong gameplay

@suraj-ram7488 6 лет назад

This is a great video that explains how to integrate the ESP board with the fouxmo library.

@real_ryansama 6 лет назад

dude, while watching this i came up with at least 4 or 5 ideas for Smart Home/PC Set up related things to this. Epic!

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Great!!

@trevhaydon5090 6 лет назад

Its official my friend, "Your Nuts"!!!. Which makes two of us. LOL, I think I kept up with you, right up to when programming and wifi came into the equation.😁 End result was it worked so it has to be another excellent video by you Bob, well done Sir, Keep up the great work. All the best from North London. UK.

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Thanks Trev!!

@TheAroxor 6 лет назад

i laughed a lot. thank you

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

:) Glad to hear that !

@kaaare 6 лет назад

What was the point with the gloves after you stick your finger into the silicone? 😂 (Nice project BTW, getting more and more interested in coding and electronics every time I see you do stuff with it it)

@ForeverMasterless 6 лет назад

To protect his hands from epoxy spills while he tries to get it into the mold.

@laurens91 6 лет назад

Great quality Bob, I enjoyed it!

@DixonSelvan 6 лет назад

That was a really great build video and I enjoyed each minute of the video... The bloopers at the last lol😛

@not-xygen 6 лет назад

Is that you tony?

@fernandocabette6050 6 лет назад

Alexa, push the like button.

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Ha! I love it 👍🏼

@tobarapprentice6618 6 лет назад

Awesome, plain and simple.

@elliotcapson3101 6 лет назад

@JoshMakesStuff 6 лет назад

I had to thrown my Echo out the window while watching this video. FIRST!

@nachokalibre5037 6 лет назад

The P.I. Workshop 11 Hours Ago?? ,Bob just Upload it 1 Minute Ago-ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED

@jameswixey719 6 лет назад

@JoshMakesStuff 6 лет назад

You need to redefine who "he" is.

@DanBellJr 4 года назад

I changed my wake up word from Alexa to Echo to watch this video......

@ManCrafting 6 лет назад

A robot that actually does what it's supposed to. Not as funny as Simone's but much more practical.

@burgbuilds 6 лет назад

I really liked the way his video was put together. I feel like it was sillier than normal which I’m a fan of.

@C3DPropShop 6 лет назад

That's a pretty sweet icepick you got there.... I'm almost caught up on the podcast! #154! As always, Great job Bob!

@NeoAnthony 6 лет назад

Early because I am always on You Tube! XD

@tictax319 6 лет назад

the finger is completely useless but its also awsome xD

@sjmaguirepdx 6 лет назад

Love it! One of your better build videos. Silly of course but really fun.

@landonlayton 6 лет назад

Would love to see more stuff like this!! Long time follower! Thanks, Bob!

@kvcp2563 6 лет назад

You are crazy. And I mean that in a good way 😜

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

I'll take it! :)

@michaelticchione2430 6 лет назад

Don’t watch the video with an Alexa in the room

@KevinRay_man 2 года назад

Bob tearin it up left handed at ping pong while doing an ad and molding his right index finger in a cup of silicon is such a Bob thing to do lol 😆

@dillonbrooks4505 6 лет назад

We need more people like you finding was to make a process go faster you get that time is money and wasting time is wasting money. Keep up the good work and producing video🙂

@jonahdagher4363 6 лет назад

@jaaerbn 6 лет назад

this is unsettlingly awesome, well done Bob!

@BenShoreysSmallShedWorkshop 6 лет назад

That is so awesome! Got an esp board already, trying this today!

@hugopohlak5831 6 лет назад

Your video came in just in time Bob. I was looking for another use to my ESP board other than deauthering people from my wifi. Definetely go check that out on Spacehun's GitHub. Awesome as always, keep it up! Love your videos

@DJMankiewicz 6 лет назад

Hey Bob, I feel like you were a lot more fun in front of the camera in this one. I am a HUGE fan of your straightforward, right-to-the-content stuff, but seeing your personality shine thru is nice too :) great vid as always.

@SmallWorkshopGuy 6 лет назад

So funny! As I am listening to your video, you kept saying Alexa and my Alexa kept trying to respond. Gave me a good laugh!

@paulmunro3050 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing. Food for thought!

@GM_____ 6 лет назад

This is so insanely cool; your kids are going to want to play with this thing. When I’m able to invest in smart home automation I would love something like this.

@levifig 6 лет назад

All anything needs is a purpose. That finger has a purpose. That finger is anything. Awesome work, as always, Bob! :)

@scootersworkbench6347 6 лет назад

I know you called it ridiculous, but you just helped me solve 4 different project ideas I've been struggling with. The inspirational value of this video is dope! :) Thanks!!!

@Iliketomakestuff 6 лет назад

Fantastic!! That's great to hear!
