    The correct name was “Bot Ross” I’m afraid.
  • @zoenelson3340
    When Evan said "A tiny hand job" I almost choked on my food lmfaaooo I was not expecting that in the slightest 😂😂😂😭
  • @pbales8951
    I always wondered how Picasso got his distinctive look in his portraits... turns out, he was using a robot arm with a game system controller.
  • @TheRealAlpha2
    Katelyn realized quickly how to adjust to Ramsey's quirky art style. Evan was determined to fight through it for his own artistic vision and you can see the conflict. These portraits tell a story for sure.
  • @online_monster
    What if Ramsey tries a Bob Ross painting? Or would he be more a abstract type of guy?
  • @PeregrineDee
    Ramsey is the definition of “Ive been given hands and paint, I will now make this God’s problem.”
  • @xyzcreate
    Evan & Katelyn: We are not that type of channel Also Evan & Katelyn: "Any other tiny hand jobs that you want us to tackle"
  • “Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.” Dr. Ian Malcolm...
  • This was a very important project, a robot that paints bad and can hold tiny hands WILL make a masterpiece, love it
  • no one: absolutely no one: ramsey: 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
  • @brycehotchkiss
    I love Katelyn’s confidence and utter disdain for Evan’s incompetence and how it evaporated immediately as soon as she put a single stroke on the canvas 😆
  • @carolinac36
    You guys 3d printing a little beret for the robot arm made me remember why I'm subscribed 😂
  • @stephdagie7086
    I've never laughed so hard in my life. Katelyn painting Evan's eyebrows 😂😂😂
  • @urkince26
    I'd just like to say that I'm glad the Evan Boop scene transition is still going strong after all this time.
  • @Amanda-zn7ox
    I think Ramsey's calling is more of a pixel art form by the way he dabs the paint on the canvas.
  • @missmeowsby
    The end where Katelyns painting literally faceplants it on the table had me in stitches lol
