Can We Trip an ATAT with Tiny Snowspeeder Drones!? 😲💥 Star Wars

Get some awesome PERKS by entering our code in game: FliteTest
We wanted to re-create the Battle of Hoth from The Empire Strikes Back where Luke Skywalker destroys an AT-AT walker. Using foamboard, hot glue, and airbrushing we're creating a pony-sized replica AT-AT. We then take a Tiny Whoop and turn it into a Snowspeeder so we can pretend we can shoot with blasters, then use our tow cable to harpoon the AT-AT and tie it's legs up to trip it.

[@Moondog-wc4vm]

This! I was 10 when this movie came out and the only criticism I had at that age was the 'speerder pilots would have been taken down with the AT-AT's unless they released the cables at exactly the right moment. SparrowJLT, you have my respect!

"pew pew pew!" - greatest snowspeeder pilot of all time

[@Tounushi]

"The Snowspeeder [...] is not a true flight craft, but a repulsorcraft." So if anyone would complain about the craft turning "unrealistically," it's basically a hovercraft that doesn't rely on lift to begin with.

[@kelteel]

All craft in starwars are unrealistic. They can turn and roll like real jets in atmospheric flight (and even in space rofl). Yet they lack ailerons and stuff. But he, it's a great movies so I don't complain.

[@Tounushi]

@@kelteel I don't think they've ever explained the base technobabble behind repulsors, but I think it has wider uses than just making bricks float. Speaking if which, have Snowspeeders been shown to fly inverted in any materials of the franchise?

[@Tounushi]

@@gr8gabe314 It's on Steam. I got it on N64 and Rogue Leader on GameCube/Wii. I prefer the latter, because I've lost rumble functionality on port 1 of my GC.

Man I just want to see these AT-ATs Walk and destroy mock up rebel base but have nerf gun projectiles used for their heavy cannons. And attach a pull the mid section of the hull that has Imperial Banner and Another with aloud speaker playing Imperial March as Victory Propaganda that would be so epic lol.

[@yagdtigercommander]

@@sparrowlt Also I think later Gozanti Models could carry up to 3 AT-ATs instead of just 2 but probably went through some modifications to do so. The Real Question though is what was cable of deploying First Order AT -M6s and Those Heavy Utility Mechs that towed the massive cannon in the Last Jedi aka the giant bunker walkers that moved like huge centipedes or millipedes they kind of looked silly though with all those bug like legs lol.

[@rencaelum4396]

You have to make the At-At walk and then add a mechanism that detaches the cable once Snow speeders are done tying the At-At.

[@jonhohensee3258]

No, YOU do.

[@chrismaupin]

First, the cockpit view from the speeders is so fun. Second, despite the AT-AT being made of styrofoam, the fall when it trips looks pretty real - I bet if you shot it in slo-mo, it would be pretty convincing. So much fun to watch this.

[@dinkaboutit4228]

Which category of Nobel Prize would this act of genius best be nominated for?

[@timothymccormick5208]

That was pretty awesome... though, with the ATAT's being made of foamboard, why not just have a spool of, say, 30' of fishing line (probably spider wire) on the back of the speeders, hover the speeder near the knees or ankles of the ATATs, have a needle attached at the open end of the line, and "grapple" the walker with the needle, then, as you fly around the walker, the spool unravels and the line comes out. and instead of "letting go" (as Hobbie called to Wes in the movie) the line is tied to the spool, at which point you just "pull" the walker down. --- Either way, this was a GREAT "Proof of concept"... would love to see you guys motorize the walkers for another run and try this again.. :) Man, that looks fun.

[@pirobot668beta]

Yer drone needs tiny legs to hold it off the table at launch. Weird as it may sound, having the fans too close to the table steals a lot of lift! Flowing air always has less pressure than stationary air, so any airflow under the fuselage makes a vacuum cell. The closer the fuselage is to the table, the stronger the effect. Bring it up one inch, and yer take-offs will be more snappy!

Unfortunately the AT AT Colin built is on the wrong side of the puddle and I don't think he's got it in his yard anymore (could be wrong about that). But now I'd love to see a reenactment using his AT AT and some sweet drones. Probably wouldn't be able to topple it. It's way to big and heavy for a drone to do that, and it would probably damage the AT AT rather badly. So unless the current owner was about to have it scrapped toppling it wouldn't be a good idea.
