Building a Lego Frisbee Launching Tank

[@joyfuflower]

I love how the videos start as actual engineering iterations and then devolve into chaos, the egg frying was the perfect end card for this journey

[@kola544]

egg frying? you mean deliberate testing procedures

[@panampace]

Why engineer anything if you can’t shoot at eggs and take sweet jumps with it

No waste

[@j.q.higgins2245]

But also a bit sad, as I suspect the cat was already very much hoping for the egg... 😿

[@Anamnesis]

I don't know what's more amazing: how you dream this all up, or where you get all the spare parts!

[@JoelSmiley]

I was thinking the same thing

[@donovanellis1533]

Lego sets and/or Bricklink probably

[@abeybladesensei5015]

actually they aren’t spare parts (atleast i don’t think they are) they are bought from a website individually

[@r.rezkiansaputra3138]

😇😊😍

[@donovanellis1533]

Same way I get my parts. It's amazing the things bricklink makes possible, even more so the 3rd party products lego would likely never make like the Buwizz 2.0 (which is what this build uses) and 3.0, Sbrick, the amazing Brickstuff lighting system, the Aquabrixel hydraulic pumps made by Hyact, etc. It pays to be open minded.

[@nayuki-rn]

Every video is a treat. Your engineering, editing and humour are all greatly appreciated. I especially enjoy the ASMR segments

[@BrickTechnology]

Thank you

[@SeraphimKnight]

Oh man those disks! They came with the motorcycle-lookin bionicle precursors. Loads of memories of those things.

[@Datavore]

I think I recognize Throwbot discs :D Still got the first 8 in their little spaceship boxes in storage

[@cameron7374]

The motorcycle ones came between the disk shooting ones and Bionicle. And then they brought the disks back for Bionicle at one point.

[@rapidemboar4625]

Two times, in fact: The McDonalds Matoran from 2001 threw discs, and the Metru Matoran from 2004 had disc launchers as well as Toa Vakama that year.

[@chrisedwards9543]

@@rapidemboar4625 You forgot the Vahki, they all came with a disk.

[@red13emerald]

@@Datavore Throwbots? I knew them as Slizers. Just looked it up, they were called Throwbots in North America and Slizers in the rest of the world.

Till the end of the video I thought "Wow. Simply wow." But then the end got me. Cheers, mate!

[@lamtungle5510]

The world needs people who never run out of ideas like this guy!

[@jmobley6]

Tank was quite unhappy with the tinfoil test haha. Absolutely beautiful work!

[@Green24152]

fun fact that's the same test LEGO themselves use to see if the launcher is a threat to eyes

[@robhead22]

My son sent this to Me! We did many ‘invention projects ‘ when he was a kid! But nothing like this!! You are a master!!! Thank you! Made my day!!!

[@RognisVornel]

Those clicks when the pieces latch together are so satisfying.

[@SelfProclaimedGorl]

My favorite part of all these videos is when his cats come in and try to make sense of whatever this man created

[@canrex7540]

This is why I love Lego. Granted, it's not 100% stock, but so much of it is that this could easily be an official set.

[@VintageCR]

as a 30 year old guy i find this absolutely amazing! what a beast :)

[@lederkneter756]

best moment from 0:00 - 8:04 👍

[@MasterZenII]

Throwbots disks! Man what a throwback!

[@BrickTechnology]

These are the discs from my childhood throwbots. I am happy they had their comeback in a video.

[@sheriff4amstan]

I love that the disc hopper went from not feeding at all, to feeding perfectly and at a decent rate

[@joinslayer]

Cutest cat i've ever seen

[@quantumblur_3145]

Finally, a cheap and easy way to properly weaponize all my spare kanoka disks.

[@six_buck_dlc]

Listen, I only understand a quarter of what’s happening, but the builds are sick and innovative and all-around chaotic. I love it, thanks.

[@BigUziVert2190]

This is so impressive, I need to know how you figure this stuff out honestly. Your ability to just see an issue, and come up with the exact fix for that issue on these builds is insane. I couldn’t build half of the mechanisms you do if I tried haha. Keep up the great work!

[@codycat1544]

I love the playfulness… I see no eggs were lost in the production of this film.

[@tigransafaryan6619]

Thank you for not wasting the egg.

[@peterpop-off]

omg your cat is too precious 🥰

[@theraxy]

Cool cat man. Also loved this build, you're making what all of us wish we could

[@benfrantz4585]

The cat was adorable

[@michelekingtiger]

seeing those discs gave me good memories of the old lego technic disc flinger figures, amazing creation and vid!

[@Robert-vk7je]

I love that the egg wasn't wasted. :D

[@forentertainment3259]

I do like when the disk are moving, they travelling on the tread haha Edit: 7:31 he hates that ALUMINUM!

You should make a behind the scenes video about your design and video production process… that would be so cool!

[@mrcelsius2928]

[@greasycrab]

This is definitely one of my favorite channels on KZbin.

[@SergeantRAiN]

IT'S BEAUTIFUL I'VE LOOKED AT THIS FOR FIVE HOURS NOW

[@pauldeddens5349]

I love the use of absolutely weaponizing normally underwhelming Lego weapons. Especially with the absolutely menacing noise of that thing revving up. It makes me think of all the other tank possibilities. Mars Mission foam dart array Technic rubber dart array Flick fire missile armageddon Stud shooter / Spring bolt blaster array You could potentially get some Mindstorms parts and make a smart AI tank. Or atleast about as smart as Mindstorms can be, I would love to see the technical challenges overcame and the interesting ways you would circumvent the limitations. I have been thinking about how two brain boxes could communicate, since they arent really meant to directly. Like with two light/camera parts placed against each other flashing messages between the two "hemispheres" of the brain boxes. Or two motors ran into each other, reading their own inputs and translating it into messages. It would get really interesting with several brain boxes, and across generations. Im interested in exploring this myself since I have 2 NXTs and 1 EV3 set. and would love to see how far it can get pushed. It would be really fun to turn it into a game. Have one remote controlled "player", and a Mindstorm tank set to track the player. Probably tracking through color, and give the players vehicle some sort of way to attack the tank.

[@Rohrak]

That would be cool to extend the concept of upgrading existing Lego launchers, we have kanoka, but now, maybe he can do a zamor sphere canon or a way to mecanizing the cordak missile launcher

[@echoi7119]

Respect for not wasting food 🙏

[@MathieuPrevot]

Your constructions are the most amazing and fascinating Lego ones I've seen.

[@ristopoho824]

The last bit with the egg :D yep no food wasted. I hope the cat got some too, as royalties for the quest appearance of course.

[@arianagriffin7610]

The actual mechanisms you make in these videos are super cool to see in action. Awesome video :)

[@JadeOart]

The cat was the real highlight of the video :3

[@IchiroSkywalker]

This could definitely be considered as an upgrade to the card-shooting tank. My suggestion about the feeding mechanism is to have the disc loaded vertically in a horizontal cylinder and then have it slide down into the belt, like a P90 ammo rack. You can try to strengthen the turret connection as well.

[@stcattc]

The greatest channel on KZbin....

[@MedallionYT]

I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but LEGO's Mindstorms RCX had a disc shooting robot that was a simpler version of this (in the Ultimate Builders expansion set). I modified it to go on treads as well, so its cool to see that others had that idea!

[@pulseanimations629]

Love the use of the Throwbot disks!

[@Jake-co7rt]

It looks like your launching wheels are spinning at the same speed (though obviously in opposite directions). If they were turning at different speeds, it would put a spin on the frisbees as they fire, and they might fly straighter and further. (just a thought)

[@roboticd]

All I could think about watching this. That's what made old disc firing guns work so well, the spin increases distance and accuracy.

[@aserta]

5:44 i don't quite remember what naming you'll find them under, but online you can look for little push-in-hole rubber feet. I bought like 100 pcs some years ago, and i'm 99.9% sure that you can find them to fit inside the holes of the LEGO tracks. Usually for electronics projects, but they can be for a lot of stuff, including the small cap ends (when they don't use balls) for gel pens. Stabilo used to have little mushrooms like that, which spurred me to look for these tiny rubber feet.
