(In the words of the YouTube Channel owner) "In this video, I utilized artificial intelligence to generate an animated music video for the song Canvas by Resonate. This tool allows anyone to generate beautiful images using only text as the input. My question was, what if I used song lyrics as input to the AI, can I make perfect music synchronized videos automatically with the push of a button? Let me know how you think the AI did in this visual interpretation of the song."

"After getting caught up in the excitement around DALL·E2 (latest and greatest AI system, it's INSANE), I searched for any way I could use similar image generation for music synchronization. Since DALL·E2 is not available to the public yet, my search led me to VQGAN + CLIP (Vector Quantized Generative Adversarial Network and Contrastive Language–Image Pre-training), before settling more specifically on Disco Diffusion V5.2 Turbo. If you don't know what any of these words or acronyms mean, don't worry, I was just as confused when I first started learning about this technology. I believe we're reaching a turning point where entire industries are about to shift in reaction to this new process (which is essentially magic!)."

Robot Mechanics - Downsize Your Big Hole

ROBOT MECHANICS - DOWNSIZE YOUR BIG HOLE

In working with a chassis with pre-punched big holes, and when recycling projects, it's common sometimes to need extra components for parts mounting.

Sometimes the mounting hole is too large and little holes are in the wrong place. A big loose hole is a sloppy thing to have when mounting it with your small nuts. There's a small tip to downsizing your big holes.

In the photo, the bracket covers a large hole on the top of a Boe-Bot robot and holds the Ping bracket. This setup uses the existing battery bolt that retains the battery holder. It also allows easy adjustment of the Ping bracket. The side of the skirt clip has a connection tab for other hardware. Bend this tab to make it 90-degrees to the bracket.

Buy a bag of dress clips, the kind that mesh/clip together for wearing a woman's dress or skirt. These have two metal components, one of which is larger. The larger one has a prong which can be formed outward 90 degrees and serve as an extra mounting plate. Near the center is a small tight hole, perfect for a smaller bolt. The clip actually serves as a kind of washer covering the large hole, but with the added function.

The actual use example is for a static attachment of a Ping mount to the top of a Boe-Bot chassis, as shown in the photo. Go to the dollar store and pick up a package of twenty clip sets for, well, about a dollar.
