About

One part. One robot. Every episode.

miniRobo is a series about building mini robots from off-the-shelf parts — the kind anyone can order for a few dollars. Each episode is centered on a single part: what it is, the bare minimum you need to use it, where it came from, and everything I wish I'd known when I started.

The goal is simple: take the intimidation out of robotics. You don't need a lab or a degree — you need an ESP32, a couple of servos, a motor driver, and a willingness to let a little magic smoke out now and then. Every build on the channel uses cheap, common parts and pairs them with 3D-printed brackets you can make at home.

Want a particular part covered, or built something from an episode? Drop it in the comments on YouTube or post in the channel's Community tab — that's where the conversation happens, and it's where I pick what to build next.
