This guy is awesome. I can't wait for the inevitable news story showing him riding atop this thing after upgrading it with a flame thrower, terrorizing whatever town he's nearby.

Kudos to the guy for his effort and accomplishment so far! Is anyone else wondering why someone who has the ability to build a frikkin' robot doesn't already know that brown/blue/green = live/neutral/earth? Or am I making an assumption based on UK plugs being that way?

Edit: Don't want to seem like a jerk for questioning what I thought was obvious - this guy appears to be self-taught and it's amazing what he's done so far going by this video.

I believe you are assumptifying. Where I come from (Canada) its black/white/green = live /neutral/earth.>> ^Reefie:

I don't think you understand what ADHD is. If this guy really couldn't stay focused on a topic, do you think he'd have gotten this far?

Yeah, OCD seems more likely

Big upvote for the ridiculously uplifting 20 seconds after 8:10. This guy's great!

I have ADHD. So yeah I do know actually. It doesn't necessarily mean you cannot focus on anything, Your focus is just more receptive to certain things, and can be associated with creative genius http://psychcentral.com/news/2010/02/25/adhd-may-be-associated-with-creative-genius/11713.html. Also fun fact Kurt Cobain was ADHD.
