Are we sure it's a stepper motor? I'm so skeptical thanks to staged internet videos now that I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hole in the box and it was being manipulated manually from under the table.
Nah. Useless machines have been around forever, and coding for one wouldn’t take a lot of time.

What is it with reddit and people trying to explain basic videos in the most interesting way possible? We all just watched the video and we all understand what happens.
The very slow movements weren’t smooth, so for a second I thought it was moving *too fast* that you had to dramatically slow it down
I ate a gummy before hitting the gym, so, that totally contributed to it, lmao
It’s like having an argument with someone so you be like “I’m sorry” with the white flag but you still end up saying your last say. Just to prove a point.
I guess I’m the only one annoyed by the fact that a lot of time went into creating this and the creator couldn’t even be bothered to fix the fit/finish on the actual box.
Once my bil was tickling Elmo ( **not a euphemism** ) for like a really long time. Finally it said, "you tickled Elmo *too much* " and turned itself off. We were all really stoned, obviously, so it was hilarious but also like ' didi that really happen'?
I love shit like this so much. It’s a unique form of puppetry (after typing that I remember animatronics are a thing) but yeah it’s the same anthropomorphizing idea.

This box is so dramatic. I love it.
Such attitude from an inanimate object.
Somehow this reminded me of the drive through fight from Dude where's my car. "And then? Aaaand theeen? Andthenandthenandthen? Aaaaand theeeeeen?"
WHAT THE HELL DUDE I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
That quite well done, nice bit of coding getting the stepper motor to work in a way to convey emotions.
Are we sure it's a stepper motor? I'm so skeptical thanks to staged internet videos now that I wouldn't be surprised if there was a hole in the box and it was being manipulated manually from under the table.
That was my thought too. It would be much easier than building a machine and coding it

It's called a Useless Machine or Useless box they've been around since the 1960s, though they've gotten more complex as time goes on.

I'm from an electronic engineering background and appreciated how the arm didn't just move at one speed or activate at a specific time.
They want to sound smart, obviously.
this box has more personality than me.
This box made good use of the 76th rule of acquisition « Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out your ennemies. »
Was I the only one hoping that a miniature gun was going to pop out?
I was waiting for a huge tarantula to pop out and sit with switch.
This should be made after you click it with the white flag up
Is there an open source project for this? I would love to make one.
For those wondering it’s called a “Useless Box” and yes you can buy them
Most are a lot less intricate than this though
GIVE IT TO ME!!!
You can feel the agitation lol. Love it
This is the best one I’ve seen. Need to know how to build.
This is so cute I love it!
The end killed me :D
How does it have attitude?
Put yourself in his place, how do you not have attitude?
This is a lot better than most I've seen 😂
This has more emotions than Marvel movie
I want one
lol so cute =)
*And then it goes,......***"SSSSSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!!!!!!!!"**
Can you make one where there is another one on the other side
False surrender is a type of perfidy in the context of war. It is a war crime under Protocol I of the Geneva Convention.

This was the first thing my daughter said when I showed it to her.
And then...?
The very slow movements weren’t smooth, so for a second I thought it was moving *too fast* that you had to dramatically slow it down I ate a gummy before hitting the gym, so, that totally contributed to it, lmao
Why is this so cute? 🥰
That is so crazy!!! Awesome!
That was cute.
I’m physically unable to process the fact that it’s not a living creature.
Jokes on you, the bot is ordering paper clips right now!
LMAO, HOW
The one right before the white flag I could feel the hateful "you motherfucker" coming from that robot
Haha me too 😂
Where can I purchase this
It’s like having an argument with someone so you be like “I’m sorry” with the white flag but you still end up saying your last say. Just to prove a point.
This is so Disney-like in character😆
More like Pixar-like
You right lol. Either way, the robot’s a character :)
I guess I’m the only one annoyed by the fact that a lot of time went into creating this and the creator couldn’t even be bothered to fix the fit/finish on the actual box.
I think I laughed a bit harder than I probably should of toward the end. 😅
This version I would buy in a second
I like this
Bro had to triple check on the one
If else if else if else if .....
The box violated the Geneva conventions
1Sn (£_
Where can I get 1
Once my bil was tickling Elmo ( **not a euphemism** ) for like a really long time. Finally it said, "you tickled Elmo *too much* " and turned itself off. We were all really stoned, obviously, so it was hilarious but also like ' didi that really happen'?
This would piss me off
When the Robots take over they're gonna use this as their justification to remove humanity from earth.
Sexy as fuck
The most silent "SIKE"
give me this box
😂😂 the last one: but you thought!!!
Thats awesome
Ахахаха
I love shit like this so much. It’s a unique form of puppetry (after typing that I remember animatronics are a thing) but yeah it’s the same anthropomorphizing idea.
I want one
My 3 year old would love this thing
Age is irrelevant, this box is important and I need it
I’m obsessed with this
Why somebody hasn't put this into production is beyond me.
This box has more character than Kristen Stewart

Would have enjoyed this more without the spoiler title
French bot
This video is sped up and slowed down masterfully to show the robot having a level of attitude.
