She is the daughter of Caroline Giertz, novelist and TV host, who Giertz describes as a "ghostbuster" due to her mother's work on paranormal reality TV show Det Okända. The Giertz family surname is of Low German origin. She announced on her channel in 2020 that she now lives in Los Angeles. From 2016 to 2020, Giertz lived in San Francisco. Giertz lived in a houseboat in Sweden from 2012 to 2016. In June 2020, Giertz voiced a cartoon robot named CGO in Adventure Time: Distant Lands. In August 2019, Giertz traveled to New Zealand to work on a mantis shrimp costume with Weta Workshop. She was subsequently invited to the unveiling of the Tesla's official pickup truck, the Cybertruck. The accompanying parody commercial and 31-minute video describing the build process went viral and received significant news coverage. The truck was built in response to both wanting an electric vehicle to avoid ever owning a gasoline-powered car and a pickup truck for practical reasons, but not being able to wait for the at-the-time only proposed Tesla pickup. In June 2019, Giertz announced that she and various other YouTube makers had converted a Tesla Model 3 into a pickup truck. She encouraged people to ask questions through creation, illustrating her ideas by presenting her own projects and robots. Her presentation was on "Why you should make useless things". In 2018, Simone Giertz presented at a TED conference. Around this time Giertz had abandoned the concept of the "shitty robots", later explaining that it was no longer something she wanted to do, as she felt that the joke had played out. In April 2018, she created a robot to promote season 2 of HBO's Westworld. The basic premise of the show is that the hosts invent funny creative solutions to everyday problems. In 2017, she hosted the comedy TV show Manick with Nisse Hallberg on Swedish TV6. In 2016, Giertz joined, collaborating with Adam Savage on her first project, the Popcorn Feeding Helmet. Giertz showcased several of these robots on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. When building her robots, Giertz does not aim to make something useful, instead coming up with excessive solutions to potentially automatable situations. Giertz's creations have included an alarm clock that slaps the user, a lipstick applier, and one that shampoos the user's hair. Giertz brands herself as "the queen of shitty robots" and runs a YouTube channel where she employs deadpan humor to demonstrate mechanical robots of her own creation to automate everyday tasks despite working from a purely mechanical standpoint, they often fall short of practical usefulness, for comic effect. Giertz's interest in electronics began in 2013 she made a toothbrush helmet for a children's show pilot episode on electronics, which was uploaded to YouTube after not being picked up, starting her YouTube career. She started creating "useless" inventions after studying at Hyper Island in Stockholm, where she was inspired by the local open-source hardware community. She studied engineering physics at the Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan), a research university in Stockholm, Sweden, but dropped out after a year. During her stay in China she also made an appearance on a Chinese sitcom called Huan Xi Long Xia Dang ( Chinese: 欢喜龙虾档, the Happy Lobster Restaurant), where she played Catherine, an American girl who married a Chinese man. She stayed in Hefei, where she learned basic Mandarin.
Īt the age of 16, Giertz spent a year in China as an exchange student. For others this has been a welcomed break from their day job to learn new skills and do things they love.Giertz named the Disney cartoon character Gyro Gearloose as one of her earliest inspirations. For some they have left behind former jobs to focus full-time on making and creating. This is 250lbs of mean crab fighting machine!įinal Team Members (who put in a lot of time the last 12 days):Īs a community 757 Makerspace continues to take on increasingly more complex projects together with our members. May I introduce Team 757 Makerspace and our Battlebot design for “The King Crab” courtesy of a rendering by our good friend and amazing artist Juan Solorzano! Well we are happy to say we formed a team, created a concept we love and made it happen. We had adults, robot enthuasists, college, high school, middle school and elementary school students join and feedback from friends, engineers, developers and more. As a community the space continues to grow and evolve and we put out a local call for people to get together. Those are fighting words! and it got us inspired to put together a team. 12 Days ago LJ comes into the space and says “We should build a robot to fight in Battlebots, what do you think?” “Submissions for the next season are 12 days away”.
