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

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

I was thinking the same thing

[@abeybladesensei5015]

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

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.

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

[@tigransafaryan6619]

Thank you for not wasting the egg.

[@SelfProclaimedGorl]

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

[@davidhilliardmusic]

The audio quality is always fantastic in these videos.

[@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.

[@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.

[@RognisVornel]

Those clicks when the pieces latch together are so satisfying.

[@forentertainment3259]

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

[@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.

[@codycat1544]

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

[@helpmereach45ksubswithoutvideo]

[@seswaroto]

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

[@orangechannel4862]

[@jasonbargy4905]

I like the tank. Very accurate shooting. Breakfast anyone?

[@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!

[@MIKIMAHI_Ltd.]

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.

[@SmartLego-it1wj]

I'm so grateful for your LEGO Technic content. It's always a pleasure to see your new creations. You're an inspiration to me and many other LEGO fans

[@vanillagorillaog]

omg your cat is too precious 🥰

[@arianagriffin7610]

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

[@joinslayer]

Cutest cat i've ever seen

[@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!!!

[@theraxy]

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

[@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.

[@aaqibrawat3863]

Love for the slizers/ throwbots

[@ShadowKatt]

I haven't seen those discs in....decades. I remember the old Throwbots. I actually had ALL of them when they came out. Nostalgia hitting hard.

[@MathieuPrevot]

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

[@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

[@okeoi]

With the egg at the end, it's like you're slowly becoming the 'How to Basic' of Lego.

[@phoenixsixxrising]

I haven't thought about those bionicle disks in years! Great build!

[@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!

[@greasycrab]

This is definitely one of my favorite channels on KZbin.

[@Mercarious]

I appreciated the egg being cooked at the end.

[@RSKYEGaming]

7:13 - Hector when he sees Mr Fring

[@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.

[@Mr_King_Clutchy]

Sorry i missed some of your vids but im back, your vids are always really cool 😎 keep going.😎

[@codewithdevhindi9937]

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

[@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.

[@monkeboys123]

Wow... I'm Speechless... THIS IS AWESOME
