I like making stuff, I have a lot of ideas. Here is the log.
Robot arm Attempt 2 (not named yet, still brainstorming, help me)
status: ongoing, top priority
This is a 6 degree of freedom robot arm that I saw on youtube and I thought it looked great:
Here is the robot demo link: https://youtu.be/wI4Jh-T0Tlo?si=vhoeHxmOxjtM0asK
creator: tw2ka. He hasn’t updated or done any modification for it. The video is from 2019.

ROBOT assembly video from 2025: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zaYC444YKA
There is another one named PAROL6 but that thing is ugly as fuck, and expensive, but easier to build.
About the thing and current status: there are no instructions on how to assemble it, the Bill of Material is as incomplete as (insert something funny) and I had to watch all the available videos and just figure out everything with what I’ve been given.
Btw, around that time I learned how to order things from China and I after that I bought everything I need or WILL need. You might say, yo, everyone can order from aliexpress.
Check again, bitch, since Trump got erected, he wanted to stop Chinese ships trans-shipping through Vietnam, and Aliexpress disabled every cheap shipping option, order something for 200k VND, you will get 600k in shipping fees now, if you even get your package…disgusting.
I found a way, I was brave to try, I succeeded, good boy.
Status: I learned how to control stepper motors, now I’m trying to fix some issues on my behalf and understand how GRBL works, after that, full wiring and testing with homing switches, applying the ratios of each joint in the code so it can do the magic of moving it.
The uniqueness of this thing is when it moves, it makes this really nice robotic sound, I will demo it later. This is the main objective, make it work, make it look good, and sound good.
Sugar baby
status: ongoing, low priority.
U know her, she isn’t complete.
Fortunately, she doesn’t demand any more money, I have all it takes to fix her.
Wiring, and then learning klipper and calibrating, when?
Reaction wheels from REM-RC
status: not started

Why: It’s so beautiful, I want to understand how reaction wheels work, the math and logic behind it, i suspect it’s incredible.

I didn’t know servo motors can be that strong.
If i plan to integrate AI, that’s the thing I will try it on first.
Also tele-operation? HELL yeah, gimme that.
I’m gonna demo that bitch until it makes me super famous.
I better plug my youtube channel soon, wink wink.
I have more to write, but it’s 00:18.
Today was a good day.
