I'm making a version of the classic toy Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots, but my version is life-sized! I'm using an air compressor to drive pneumatic cylinders for the punching arms. I'm also including some electronics that will detect the punches and keep track of who's winning. In part 3 I build the second robot frame but run into all sorts of problems when I go to put the skin on both robots.

If you're like me you have creative ideas and sometimes they get trapped inside your mind. Here on Byte Sized Engineering I make project videos that get you excited about unleashing your inner maker and making those creative ideas a reality!

You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to take complex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.

If you want my recommendation on what you should watch, I put together this playlist for you. youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8Udln1nmXVBEdorJ2xU5VnXn1nfmMM--
