[@angryzergling7832]

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]

@@angryzergling7832 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.

Excellent build! Tank track and suspension spot on. As an addon I would try for a laser pointer, and try for some stabilization of the card thrower chassis. I noticed as it is throwing it rocks back and forth a bit (I believe caused by the wheel weight as it catches just briefly to throw each card) causing a bit of "bobble head" action.
