MegaBot VS Backblaze (CRUSH IT!)

[@Drakefance5]

Hey Yev from Backblaze. Nice to see you around the Internet still. Hopefully this channel gets back on its feet, I don't wanna see this project fail. I know you guys are looking for investors but have you thought about cross promoting with other content creators here on youtube? Investors might be a little more willing to invest if they see the viewership rise abit. but then what do I know, I have no background knowledge in marketing or anything. Either way, best of luck Matt.

[@backblaze]

Yev here -> we had an absolute blast doing this, highly recommend it to anyone who's wants to see something they love (or hate!) crushed!

[@yourboidatboi7390]

They should try and get into contact with colin furze!

[@randomspectator39]

Wait who's the real yev

[@dmitrykofanov1966]

Destroy and promote - good slogan!

[@bigsoupes]

A little destruction is always a good way to start the week :)

[@GoGunCo]

Coffee and destruction go hand in hand over here. Hope you Crush it! this week :)

[@Grim-Griffin]

WE RAN OUT OF MONEY !!! SO NOW WE COUCH THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF COMPUTER PARTS. I had faith in a robot fighting league ..... shit not from the battlebot boys they really don't know how to spend money .

[@0meat]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO WHHYYYYYYYY NOOOO NOOONONONO WHY :_: :_: But seriously robots are cool. I wantz serverz.

[@Zermillion]

"What if we just pile the pods in a big mound..." Stop there... just do it. lol

[@unclebenis2540]

Children in Africa could of eaten those servers.

[@Rodenburgw]

I could have used the old servers to help out the local animal shelter. They are running every thing on old desktops an USB storage device as backup. Far from ideal. What I would like to see is companies giving away their old servers to charity instead of just destroying them. Only the harddrive contains information that is sensitive the hardware itself is good to be repurposed

[@natebit8130]

it seems all our science fiction dreams we had over the centuries is happening now. We have SpaceX with the Big Falcon rocket, You guys with the Mechs and other companies creating what was only dreamed of many years ago.

[@fenrir639]

I don't know why I though Black Blaze would have a flamethrower or something like that

[@mattparsons2045]

Any news on if youll be able to fight another mech again in the foreseeable future?

[@ninjacat230]

Unfortunately there aren't many people in the world with giant robots, and even less that would be willing to transport it to another country just to have it torn apart by someone else's.

They were all broke. In the first place and are not functional

[@magicmulder]

@@johnphetchareun8835 The enclosures themselves look fine, you could've built your own system from scratch in one of those. And they are not cheap, either, even without a single piece of electronics in them.

[@psychobeam99]

So how much money does it cost to build and maintain one of these bots?

[@darkshadowsx5949]

Depends on material cost and if you can do all the work yourself. Hiring a team increases price ten fold. i believe they had around a million from kickstarter to build this one. then went broke shortly after the first fight. on your own no crew my estimate is around $150,000 to $250,000 just to build it because attachment like the claw arent cheap. cant remember how much the tank tread half costed.

[@GoGunCo]

Cheapest is Iron Glory. About $300K to build.

[@psychobeam99]

@@GoGunCo Damn.

[@psychobeam99]

@@GoGunCo Id love to see one eith rockets and machine guns all over it.

[@michaelbeard5749]

@@GoGunCo I would think these designs could be used for heavy labor in a construction aspect. If it's only 300K to build a loader bot like these then why not outsource specific worker class mechs? Or are these unfinished products?

[@alexanderarnold4810]

When I was a member of the Robotics Team at a School, the opposing team wouldn't agree to terms for competition, I then negotiated price on the "World Wide Web" to "win" against the other team, ultimately though, seen+limited countermeasures were enough that we later furthered the agreeing to terms with all teams before all Robotics competitions. Separately, and as always, the money used should and always should be strong so all prices can be attained.

[@collinmayberry109]

So when are they fighting a robot

[@tiagotiagot]

You need to work on a waldo-style rig for the arm control, and adjust the design of the claw to make it more like those giant cutters they attach to diggers that can pickup eggs without cracking the shells but also cut thru structural steel beams in buildings.

[@finnhanke]

are these 45drive servers?

[@backblaze]

No. They are Backblaze servers! The 45 Drives servers are based on our open-sourced storage pod design!

[@homeishere2089]

i NEED them to put an actual gun on it

[@FatheredPuma81]

I wonder which is worth more. Those servers or that robot. I should probably say it's a joke as i'm sure some people will take it seriously... the servers are only worth around $4000-$6000 total and obviously the bot is worth more than that lol. So essentially they turned $4k-$6k into $50-$100.

[@amazingsportscarsmotorcycl1664]

End is near (robot taking over the world 🌍)lol

[@Wortlethal]

Oh shit

[@randomspectator39]

Use chainsaw plz

[@darkshadowsx5949]

agree the claw is boring. seen it before. its same video but different object.

[@xunk16]

The Punching was cool though. Something that ask for a little bit more piloting skill. Maybe there will be improvement with experimentation?

[@minibuscus2]

critical role needs their Yev back(blaze)

[@YevP]

Hehehe. I can be in many places at once you know! Movie Magic!

[@robm6726]

I wonder if in the future this could be a viable weapons platform for say mobile rail guns on the arms or a good option for heavy lifting things, any ideas where you would go with this technology @megabots inc since as cool as boxing giant robots is that's sadly not viable.

[@GoGunCo]

The annual budget for a Formula One team is around $50M. $1M boxing robots are viable as long as they don't have to get completely destroyed each match. We just need to hit scale.

[@robm6726]

@@GoGunCo sounds good you should do some cross promotion then with a few other KZbinrs or find a game developer who is working on a mech game and see if they can sponsor you, I'm sure you already thought of all that though I wish you the best of luck and I'll be watching from here on out. You can do it if you keep trying :)

[@ibizenco]

This is awesome. Now build tens of thousands of such machines, replace the human pilot by evolved AI's (and evolve they will), and Judgment Day is close at hand... Imagine at 0:40 being an AI driven megabot and a human...

[@BlargleRagequit]

I would've donated those :\

[@sodapone]

These servers were storing personal data; probably not best to give them away Besides, they were under very heavy load due to being constantly in use, so they wouldn't have lasted much longer in another person's hands

[@reddragon5169]

no data on them harddrives pulled. it was a wast of good teck.

[@sodapone]

@@reddragon5169 Deleting the data doesn't mean it's completely gone; deleting files on a computer actually marks the space they take up as available, meaning you can still recover the files

[@reddragon5169]

thay did not Deleting the data thay pulled the hard drives out of the servers. only the power supplys, motherboards and fans left in the case.( no hard drives)

as someone who's restoring an old motorcycle. make sure its not valuable and scrap before hand. you can make a few thousand off restoring an old bike if you get a good one. otherwise crushing it for $500 is complete idiocy.
