Been going a bit mad with the Nimbatus videos like this over the last week, but It's just so addictive! I recorded and quickly edited this when finishing off with another video, so expect Terratech + From The Depths to come out very very soon!! Hopefully Terra today, Depths tomorrow! :D Enjoy this very hastily put together video of walking and skipping bots!

[@geerbox0015]

Lathland 👍👍👍🙏THX

[@Enragedivy]

Lathland what happened to avorion lathrix? Did you just lose interest in it? And thanks for something other then nimbatus ha

[@Doggoe12]

Hi I love these vids and your content in general

[@danielbotha7241]

hou do you get nimbatus

[@NukeSiliconValley]

make an air drone that drops a swarm of them

[@lemonhead1571]

I feel like you could make a jump mechanism if you attach boosters to the feet.

[@godsdonttalk597]

I love those little soldiers, they're freakishly adorable in a way.

[@attrition2379]

Lathrix play They Are Billions!!!! It's a strategy RTS that involves a steampunk town that you build up and defend from the zombie apocalypse. Lots of other youtubers started to upload it and they're really popular but they aren't that good at it and I'm sure that you can make a series and stomp on their records!

[@loermansw]

i fully support this, lath play.

*ROMAN STYLE*

[@stuchris]

Lath, you can put the hinges closer, move them right next to the main hinge, then the one on the left up by .5, and the one on the right down by .5

[@red_baronthefirst4245]

Hey! Tiny humanoid designer here :) To cancel the friction between the two motorized hinges, my trick is just to put them diagonally (or somewhat inclined), since it adds a little more space between them. Cool video btw also i'm very flattered that you used my design. =D

[@Lathland]

Ah, that makes sense, just never crossed my mind at the time to try that - blame recording at 3am haha! Great to hear you were one of the first to come up with this idea/specific build, I was sent so many variations of the idea over the last week! Glad to have done it some justice. ^_^

[@LordJuz]

All I've been doing for the last few days is bingewatching all your Nimbatus videos... I just find them really interesting.

[@avi8aviate]

You never fail to amaze me, even at the very starts of videos.

[@Dextergec413]

Ok, this video had me in stitches watching that drone try to walk 😂😂😂

[@kayvalencia2223]

Lathorix...YOU ARE THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD

[@Valeria-du3ho]

Theoretically you could make auto turrets by placing lasers on a motorized hinge with a hostile tracker on the gun part of the turret (Gun)(detector)(hinge)(craft)

[@Qoride]

(deetector)

[@elliotlea5457]

For one thing, detector is spell detector, and for another thing, yes you can make those and they're quite good.

[@Valeria-du3ho]

i thought assuming there is little to no tolerance on the detector

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

[@MrNight-dg1ug]

@@elliotlea5457 *, yes, you

[@taylormoore5098]

So, an idea I had looking at your build. You have two legs attached to the same rotating hip. If you had a series of hips that each had one leg, but the starting position of those legs were staggered, it might work better. Basically, have it look like this: 0 0 0 0-0-0-0-0-0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 Where 0 is a motor hinge and 1 is the leg strut. Then it will move more like an actual caterpillar, in theory.

[@brandonclark5385]

For steep hills you could add a jetpack kind of thing. Press a button and it give you a boost up or something along those lines

[@milesmossa-kohler699]

The rods between the rods are transparent(things can go trough them, not that they are see-trough) so you could have the foot go between the hip and the opposite [knee?] allowing the legs to be a lot shorter.

[@jtfroh]

And there Lathrix goes again, posting at 1AM. :P Get slome sleep, Lathrix!

[@Krovx]

jtfroh yes!

[@DanielBohnen]

umm time zones

[@kayvalencia2223]

Haha it's 8:00 in Sydney and I'm just brushing my teeth

[@jtfroh]

Daniel Bohnen That would make it like, 5am where he lives, unless I have my time zones messed up...

[@darkenergy3742]

Yes

[@nicolaswolf6045]

Hey latrix use jumpJets activated by detection rays to avoid obstacles in an epic way, and thankyou for all your amazing videos and voice acting!

[@dianheart2243]

Awesome, I hope they add suspension!

[@drkreuzer670]

hey lathrix try Uncrewed, its a real-time strategy game for the PC with the ability to design units from scratch. Unlike in more traditional RTS, units obey the laws of physics, making design choices especially important. i bought it personally and its very fun to build some types of units like gunships and landships there are waters which you can build hovercrafts (not like robocraft its more like the traditional hovercraft there is today) but sadly there are no huge vessels that kinda makes me sad ofc you can build as big as you can but... i would like to build a mothership but eh its early access maybe they will implement bigger updates for bigger units but i would like to see your first impression to this game called uncrewed and it would make me happy i may not be the dev of this game but.... i would still be happy anyways cause its a game that i hope gets popular like robocraft and from the depths :D

[@user-yq9vf2gx2s]

Ga-damn you're the most giddy person ever. Anyone else see him as an innocent version of Lucifer from the tv show Lucifer

[@NeoAcario]

For combination of stability and to deal with uneven terrain.. you want 2 sets of legs. Either 2 or 4 legs per set. You can't do 3... due to it being unstable. It's unstable because of the 90 degree grid system not allowing you to pie off thirds.

[@Qoride]

Make the walker on the left walk the same direction as the rest so it's like covering the back while the two drones escort the main robot.

[@tallyho836]

Haven't even seen the video yet but LATHRIX THE ENGINEERING MASTERMIND

[@damienw4958]

What a nice surprise to wake up to :)

[@LoPhatKao]

AT-ST and AT-TE, Lathrix style :D

[@roguegamer4699]

LoPhatKao don't forget the at-at

[@caelodevorago608]

I believe they were referring to the bipedal walker and then the clone wars 6 legged walkers

[@iplaytrombone7618]

And at-pt

Oh! Just thoughts of this! Make a bomber plane or a *ridiculously* fast fighter jet!

[@keremhakyemez6343]

00:12 Lathland:well its going to be shorter Me:ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT İT İS 20 minutes

[@Victini0510]

Once you master legs, I'd love to see an AT-AT. A massive, 4 legged walker capable of carrying drones in the main body and having all the lasers attached to the head. I think it would be awesome.

[@thefirstprimariscatosicari6870]

Use the fixed shotguns for the automated walkers!

[@foxxowoxxowillow7855]

I imagine someone on the planet looks up and sees your giant drone deploying space ship and they're just like "ah no what does he have for us this time?"

[@nekoali2]

I do love the creativity in builds this game inspires. Send in the droid army! Roger Roger.

[@danielbetu]

Great idea!! You are a genius!!

[@redstonecreeper2711]

now imagine this with the new factory blocks dropping bombs

[@Tyler-jo5fs]

Oooooh it would be cool to make a centipede-like drone OR a starwars AT-AT or another walker... So cool

[@redify9758]

This is so awosome I think you should try making an ATAT walker

[@pyroball602]

More like Lathbot...

[@E.K939]

If you lengthen the distance from the "hip" you can shorten the legs themselves.

[@Corvothing24]

More! More! More! (Plz I'm begging you Lathrix)

[@kittycatlover3976]

Lathland i love you channel it’s really inspiring it helped me play games and build awesome builds every time I try to build in my terratech I get nervous about it and I build something just stupid one time I wanted to try and replicate one of your builds and I ended up just making a tank with uzi’s I was trying to build your missile tank i really like your channel it taught me how to build stuff in terra tech and I’m sorry if you a little mad that I tried to copy one of your builds in terratech #I’ve been subed for a whole year

[@omerZauber]

Also, you could make a sensor with lazers attached that would flatten the earth infront of the robot,limited to the height of the robot.

[@boo6767]

Lathrix, do the land vehicle but make it tilt downwards on a key and stick giga drills on the front.

yay 3:27 am time to watch this video

[@ramendude4062]

When that neutrality dies I'm going to miss you lathrix

[@noahhuffstutler2686]

We'll be fine. Net Neutrality is so big that it will get resolved very quickly if it ever becomes a real problem.

[@ramendude4062]

Noah Huffstutler unfortunately the man behind the government branch of Internet is a company lap dog and is going to Congress on it on December 14

[@omerZauber]

Only at the start of the vid, but i would love to see a chain formed by these skipping drones

[@sillysaili]

Build SPOODERMAN! AKA a walker that can walk on walls via thrust keeping it on the wall

[@jamwheeler]

Could use drills to alter land and make it more walkable

[@dangerousewe5349]

Good job with this video couldn’t stop laughing

[@jonny11995]

I tested this after a while it walks up walls to :) although reversing the motors doesn't work to great :P

[@Keleksos]

Use motorized joints as a tool for making a non-turreted gun turreted

[@firelesskiller4714]

maybe you could use some truster to get a faster leg-movement

[@dmdizzy]

But what about an array of guns+distance sensors on the walker drones so they attack semi-intelligently?

[@leinine1834]

Call it SOLID SNEAK :D

[@mr.pickle6487]

War of the worlds... if you get the reference. Plz do it lathrix

[@machitoons]

this game looks ridiculously fun! When will it be out/fir what price?

[@candiedskull9841]

I'm actually hear [somewhat] early (like first 20 min). First time in forever. Hiiiiiii!!!!

[@blubasaur9053]

Amanda Glace here*

[@alunarnova]

I've been to a video (specially Lathrix's mostly, oddly enough, must be the time he uploads,) earlier then 10 or even 5 minutes tons of times.

[@zackschrup3656]

Nice

[@Rotem_S]

lathrix I love you, you had the exact idea I had and it is perfect

[@billywatt3473]

What would happen if you put a not gate if 1 isnt pressed press 1 and then attached that to a coloured LED???

[@equinox1667]

what a great video haha... very funny

[@TeReaper]

NOW WE NEED ATST'S AND ATAT'S FROM STAR WARS

[@finuelakeren8814]

William Intemann YES!!!! EXACTLY!!!!!!!

[@Nanolis]

Wouldn't the guns also kind of destroy the terrain ahead of them, making it harder if not near impossible to traverse? :}

[@yerp1554]

Challenge : make a drone that literally goes straight through a small planet in less than 5 seconds

[@Elemental-pk5kq]

Lathrix why don't you make a mouse controlled swarm

[@zebo9636]

use those jump thrusters to make it jump

[@level98bearhuntingarmor]

You can make QWOP :p

[@supersoldier8629]

Lathrix please make an AT-AT from Star Wars

I dont care if they are not your ideas, you will always go about things in your own unique way.

[@heathera.1909]

OMG L0L ITS WALKING DRONES!! NICE!

[@loermansw]

now make it with more joints, where the legs bend with every step >:)

[@mrlefthand2348]

Make a fleet of really basic ships and have them. Roam the planet and gradually destroy it

[@Barbapapa___]

this is some good SHIT!

[@thelazyredpanda1668]

*Stand by for Titan fall* [This creature drops from the heavens and laser beams everything]

[@_zerohour_]

Now add controllable arms

[@collin2097]

if you make a robot that works you can make it so that as it walks it will destroys the ground on the left

[@4hands456]

now all we need is a tracked vehicle

[@void9252]

13:25 when i see a spider

[@shuvva-1960]

ITS ALIVE! ALIVVVVEEE!

[@anyonecancook9515]

What if you made this except with factory blocks on a flying drone to make an unbeatable army of little soldiers?

[@fritzkrieg7206]

is it just me or does that walker look a bit like three leged droid thing from star wars 15:37

[@darkenergy3742]

You need to strap this to a jet pack that can be released

[@jacksondavis6043]

549th, loving the Nimbatus

[@jorge8596]

Now we just need a fully operational AT-AT with lasers and shit

[@tokythegod]

Make a spider with that

[@5peciesunkn0wn]

Make an invasion of the LEGION!

[@OneHellofaDragon]

Anyone know how to get the latest version of nimbatus?

[@herbertzielinski8505]

Lath it really triggers me when you use two 2 or 4 single fuel tanks when you could easily replace them with a double or quad fuel tank. It happens with power batteries as well, so is there a reason for this?

[@Lathland]

The single fuel tanks are conisdered by many to be the best fuel tanks in the game, though they lack in capacity (Which only really matters in sumo.. kinda) They have a MUCH greater automatic refill rate, which also occurs during use - there is almost no reason other than stability or to cut down on part numbers (Again, only in sumo and battle arena does this count) to use the larger variants of the fuel tanks. The double fuel tank can't recharge at all and becomes dead weight VERY quickly as other fuel tanks can't feed into it. As for the energy cells, the smallest is a good medium between the largest and second largest as it has 'ok' capacity and 'ok' recharge with recharge being the most important, the solar cell is heavy with a much greater recharge rate (Hence my use for it on all larger craft, just look at the satellite!) but since it is heavy and hard to place sometimes it is easier to default to the smallest variant just for testing. The second largest energy cell once again has very very poor recharge but great capacity which is pretty worthless in any testing or mission completion. Hope that clears it up a little! ^_^

[@herbertzielinski8505]

Thanks for letting me know Lath! You seem to know a lot more about the technicals of Nimbatus then me ^_^

[@hyperchicken2973]

Try to make a drill cube 😀

[@aerbon]

try making a bot with wheels on wheels on wheels

[@draggoandfriends282]

You should make a vehicle that drills to the core and destroys the planet
