Hey there fellow learner! I had never even heard of "Roboforming" until I received a message after the metal stamping video.  It's actually a process called "Incremental Sheet Forming", and it's incredible!  I think you'll like this video.  I've also gone into much more detail on the second channel if you'd like to check that one out!

Destin, you get such great access to some of these companies and find out some VERY proprietary information...we need an Investment section in Patreon with company info, how to invest, trading tickers, etc. Just finished the long version of this video and it sounds like an amazing company with some long term uses that would make for a perfect investment opportunity. 😀

This video is on par with the submarine series, the previous progressive molding video, the Apollo video, and the Social Media series. Between this and last weeks NDQ episode, I think we’re the recipients of a new peak in the content you give us. I know I can get both of those for free, but if my $10 or whatever I send helps make videos like this or podcasts like that happen, it’s well worth it.

Pretty interesting stuff! Besides the technology itself, we have some Persian friends and it was cool to see Persians in the US pushing the envelope on roboforming. On a different topic, I ran across (at our church building project) this machine called a ride-on power trowel. They look a bit like zero-turn riding mowers. No doubt other people know about them, but for me it was new. One thing I've learned from Destin is to be encouraged to ask workers, who know far more about what they're doing than I do, to tell me about their craft and their machines. When you treat them with respect and genuine curiosity, they're often happy to share a bit of their hard-earned knowledge. So apparently it's like a mower but instead of cutting blades going around underneath, you've got trowels for smoothing concrete. People keep saying the power trowel rides like a hovercraft! Well, it doesn't lift off the ground, but it does seem to steer sort of like a hovercraft, turning and drifting sideways unlike a wheeled vehicle (it doesn't have wheels!). It looks like it would be difficult to control, but the operators I saw moved the machine along the edge of cement and around coworkers with a surprising amount of precision. I did some online searching and came up with some info but also several unanswered questions. Would love to see Destin look into this and make a video! My questions: 1) How does the steering and movement work? There are two "joysticks". One video just said that you push the right stick forward and the right side goes forward. Like I suppose a skid steer operates. But then I also saw a power trowel where each joystick could be pushed in at least four directions. Does the operator really have that many degrees of freedom to control each side? 2) How does that control get translated into actually steering/moving the power trowel in the desired direction? Does each "fan" (as opposed to the individual blades) get tilted? 3) There are hand cranks to change the pitch of the blades... like on a helicopter! Why? What difference does it make, and under what conditions should you use a shallow or a steep pitch? 4) Power trowels have buttons to spray retardant. What's the purpose of that? What does it retard? 5) Where can I get a 5-minute ride on one and how much does it cost? 🤣 Anyway ... I'm sure there are a million cool things to investigate in regard to construction equipment... like laser screeds... but this was one that caught my attention and made me think, Destin would do a good job with that!

P.S. 6) What are these "pans" that you can attach underneath? Are they used instead of blades or in addition? Why would you choose to use pans or just blades?

Awesome video! Shared it around my company (~170 engineers with 15 yrs of engineering experience on average), we specialize in product development, only 1 of our most senior engineers had ever seen this tech, and it was not this refined, 10 years ago. We have a couple of old projects this would have been beneficial on, and hope to find a way to use them one day!

You said you'd tolerate sketches. How about roboforming with a very extreme perspective? That way the foreground shows the tool pressing (with tons of pressure!) and the background lets the viewer know this is the tip of a robot arm. (How do I get the sketch to you?)
