as a lego kid, the snap and click of legos is peak satisfaction to me. every time a piece pops into position it's pure dopamine in my brain. these videos are both audio and visual ASMR for me

[@unedited8204]

This is absolutely amazing! When I had Lego technic 20 years ago it was still so much more limited, plus I had nowhere near the abilities shown here. It's absolutely incredible what you can do with Lego, and the most amazing thing of all to me is the sheer power (and accuracy) of the firing mechanism. Well done!

[@BrickTechnology]

20 years ago was my time for lego technic too and that is the reason why I got back into it. I would miss out on so many parts and the new strong motors. And now I can afford to buy the parts, 20 years ago I could not really :)

[@angry_zergling]

Yeah I myself never got into lego technic (not sure why this channel shows up in my feed every once in a while actually but it I'm glad it does) but I can still appreciate that some serious talent is on show here. Especially with keeping the turret aiming in the same place and stabilized while the tank body is rotating. Modern-ish+ tanks do that but they do it with gyroscopes and computers and stuff so it's really neat one can pull off the same thing with lego. Guess you can stick something equivalent to a Raspberry Pi on technic stuff and inject code into those things? At least that's the only way I can imagine doing some of this stuff - maybe I'm overthinking it.

[@unedited8204]

@@angry_zergling That's really interesting, I wouldn't have known any of that but what you say makes sense. To be honest, I COULD be wrong but I think this is just good old (or rather new) Lego Technic mechanics and whizzy-whirring cogs and wheels here. I suppose, although I'm not an engineer so maybe I'm wrong here, on a smaller scale (than life-size tanks) there is more scope to achieve physically stable and functional systems without any "intelligent"/code-driven inputs... But I don't know! I do know they use AI and stuff with Lego for some purposes, e.g. to run Lego machines which can solve a Rubik's Cube, for obvious reasons. But I got the impression in this video it was just extremely sophisticated mechanics and wires and basic controls.

[@SolarFlareAmerica]

At first I was like "haha I'd fire it at my wife, friends, and kids!" But then I saw the cards stabbing shit and I was like HELLL NO Also live how you succinctly demonstrated why suspension on a tank is so bloody important.

[@LloydTheZephyrian]

Just curious, how much damage could that do to a person? Honestly, I'd like to have one that doesn't shoot the cards so violently so it can be used for card games.

[@FdMBIOSat]

@@LloydTheZephyrian not that much since our skin is pretty elastic. one summer i had too much time on my hands so i learned throwing cards. it's actually pretty easy to get them stuck in styrofoam (or in one case a case a cactus). just don't shoot somebody in the eye ^^ (or still just dont shoot at people)

Thank you so much for this built. My son was mesmerized and now tries to replicate some of your techniques. I fear for my life should he succeed. He lacks many technic pieces, though.

10:45 I was surprised to find that ~3500 RPM was enough to pull the rubber of the wheel! Why did you use chain instead of direct gear meshing here? If I've understood correctly, the friction loss is higher with the chain.

[@pwnmeisterage]

I think the plastic would be too soft, the Lego gears would strip too easily when the tank bumps into resistance. A lot of power loss and seizing after just a few teeth fall out, a lot of time to rebuild, a lot of money to buy more Lego. The chain pieces are made of the same plastic but they distribute the load over surfaces instead of concentrating it on small parts of small parts.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@pwnmeisterage I would assume that the little studs holding each chain piece together would break much more easily but it makes sense that if something breaks, it's better to break a single chain link than a full gear.
