Building a Massive LEGO Tank

[@BrickTechnology]

I want to thank my friend Daniel, who not only held the tea cup but also helped me film the final part of the video at his house. Another big thanks goes to Buwizz, who supplied me with these amazing Bluetooth battery boxes for this project. Check them out here: buwizz.com/ This video took way too much time to make, but I wanted to build “The Lego Tank” we all dreamed of making as kids. At least, that was my intention. What turned out instead is an overengineered beast with too many mechanisms that failed frequently-especially the shooting mechanism, which took me over a year to build and failed a lot while filming. That’s why I hesitate to make instructions for my builds. I nearly broke my fingers trying to put the parts back together! Anyway, thanks for watching and reading. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! And please, don’t destroy pictures of your mother-in-law.

[@sempersolus5511]

The only reason this man hasn't used his powers for supervillainy is because this amount of LEGO already _requires_ millions of dollars, so it's an unsustainable business model.

[@abielreh]

The Lego he used to build this is not a million dollars

Uh, this probably costs at most $500 lol

[@drworm5007]

"We must allow congress to believe the Russians are only few years away from building a Lego death ray"

[@HardbrasH1]

@Maninjort kinda doubt it. If you know, one particular small detail that you absolutely need for your build, can be presented only in one obscure lego set, and theres just one detail in this set, but you need like 20. I'd bet if you want to build this tank, you should buy at least about 5000$ of lego, of course he has it through years of collecting lego, but still

Based on some things I've seen, this would be well in excess of $1000, not even including motors/ batter packs/ other electronics.

[@pauldeddens5349]

The best youll get is instructions. Which you can (meticulously) copy from the video. With cheap bricks (The motor bricks will never be cheap, 20$ minimum for each) you can anticipate a full build to cost roughly 800 dollars on the low end. And 3000 on the high end. Depends where you source your parts, if you care about Lego purity or not, and if you are okay with secondhand motor parts.

[@augustfilbert6305]

I'd love to see a followup video of the tank going over more obstacles. The suspension system looks incredible and I'd love to see it pushed to its limits.

I believe this is your most complex design yet? The amount of time to design, build, improve, record, post production...is insane. Even the custom lathe like thing to show how you built the weapon. We all thank you for this content! Decimating the diner and glass vase was too fun!

[@ohhhLuna]

I like the thought to add turret depression so he could aim the gun at the target directly in front of the tank. Overall a very cool design, I wish I had the time and legos to build like that.

[@carlosfernandez1456]

The turret is emo?

[@TexanMiror2]

Wow, that was quite impressive and technically complex. I don't see it as over-engineered even, because each complex part has a clear function necessary for remote operation without having to fiddle with anything. I wonder how powerful this design could be if you were to use actual metal and composite-plastic parts and proper RV radio systems.

[@AlixL96]

I feel like if I just had a glossary of physics and engineering terminology I could basically get an engineering degree from this. It's the same mechanisms used in real vehicles and an excellent demonstration of how they work and why they are used.

[@John_Smith_86]

Absolutely not. You are missing a lot like thermodynamics, fluids, material science, and so forth

[@pauldeddens5349]

@@John_Smith_86 Alot of those are not things too applicable to Lego however. Lego consists of 1-3 materials, mostly ABS. Legos cannot be water-tight and are assembled via friction based interlocking, which means aerodynamics and fluid dynamics are kind of meaningless at higher speeds where they become more important, the parts would just sheer off. And thermodynamics doesnt really apply since these mechanisms dont run off of combustion reactions or the like, but simple electricity. Maybe if there was a solar panel, but thats still a weak demonstration that would only show power consumption metrics. Without bricks being airtight, you cannot meaningfully make a combustive system or measure it. Potentially with the pneumatic tubes, but thats been done already.

[@BlazingSun72]

Lego literally cancelled an already in production aircraft model because they realized there were no civilian variants. The v22 osprey is solely a military craft and Lego has an internal policy to not make military/war related sets. Even tho the LEGO model was decorated like a civilian version, and even tho they had already released it, they cancelled it because of this policy/stance.

[@classiccj2569]
