Interesting how someone with this much skill can be labeled a “YouTuber”, the same job description as someone who sits on their bed and talks to their phone about shoes for a living.

I was most curious about the skeleton of the thing. A fiberglass frame and LEDs are nice aesthetic touches, but how do you make the frame that allows this particular style? This video appears - from a scrub-thu - to be the one for those questions:

I mostly view the YouTuber label as a sort of value-add thing. Where the top quality YouTubers are often skillful individuals in their own right but have turned that skill into fame simply by recording themselves doing their thing.

from the video, it’s not clear that it can move at all—other than the suspension lifting up and down

Yeah, my initial question was, “does it move,” but seeing another video, it looked like it has functional parts in it, so I assumed it could. Though looking for videos of it in action, it’s apparently not at that point yet, as there don’t appear to be any. (It would be kind of funny if, in the end, the only kind of movement it was capable of was sliding sideways.)

YTMND ruined that moment for me lol. I can’t not hear it as CANAAADAAAA now.
Are those speckles in the picture because he’s blown out some of the pixels in his camera’s sensor by filming too much stick welding?
