Trapped in a Room With a Combat Robot - Safety Third 87

[@NHRL]

For clarity that’s not Weird Al, it’s Henchman Sam

[@dandischinosvarietyhour1655]

Nice try Mr. Yankovic

[@ac.creations]

Having Weird Al Yankovic as your guest is huuuge.

[@illiteratebeef]

audio finally sounds good, so obviously they fucked up the color grading instead.

[@abergail]

real

[@dogdjinn]

it's just recorded flat and they didn't color grade it

[@Gadalac]

They didn't use a color space transform on their log footage, the n00bz. Switch the color science to managed if you don't wanna worry about csts

[@artiumromanov9798]

Damn Nilered's hair has grown sooo long whilst he was absent from the podcast

[@korbinadkins2610]

was this the pod cast of 87?!?!?!??!?!?

[@okayreche]

That was the exact thing I thought when I read the title. Like wtf lmaoo

[@slashbat2375]

The lost media wiki has been searching for this one for almost a decade. Glad it got uncovered

[@InspiredChaos]

Punkin Chunkin probably should have been scaled down too. Throwing 10" diameter gourds almost a mile is a very high barrier to entry and involves some terrifying quantities of energy stored in homemade prototype devices. As we used to end every Chunker safety meeting, be safe and have fun!

[@mrsteamie4196]

Holy crap! I remember loving that show whenever I came across it. I had completely forgotten about it until now, wow. You competed?

[@joshuawargo6446]

and who wouldnt want like.... a medieval category, and have desktop size pumpkin catapults O.O i fully support this

[@sincereflowers3218]

Every time a new episode drops I watch the first episode again.

[@Noah-lj2sg]

I watch every episode n! times where n is the current number of episodes

[@dubiouspissdrinker]

exponential episode watching... damn

[@Superwoodputtie]

Will telling the story of being helpless watching the guy stuck in the cell with the activated battle bot, is the same thing as a person describing a PTSD episode. Like you could feel the emotion and the sictuation. It sounds like a intense sictuation for 20 y/o William.

[@chrisvandergriff504]

As a dude that recently had his fingers ripped.off in an industrial accident, I felt weirdly targeted this episode.

[@someguy3717]

Dang, sorry to hear about the injury. I hope overall you are ok!

[@ian562ADF52E]

Holy fuck Chris, I'm so sorry! Any life changing updates like that are hard to process, much love and hope you're doing as well as you can.

big Peter fan here. There are DOZENS of us.

[@slashbat2375]

I was ready for william to accidentally stumble into omegaverse porn if he actually had googled "omega male"

[@Ixidora]

I am curious yet strangely aware that it would probably be a bad idea... No enlightenment required, you've already provided sufficient information. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

[@willphillips2522]

Having been on a college NHRL 30lb team for 3 years yeah testing is a pain in the ass

[@MechaBorne]

Looks like William stood in the X-Ray machine at the airport too long, his camera has radiation poisoning

[@alystair]

Maybe they accidentally used RAW video without color grading it?

[@Laundry_Hamper]

That Battlebot Will was talking about was called Hella Chopper, just in case anyone is googling helichopper and not finding it

[@forceofwillgaming8475]

I think it was actually battlesaw because they had to test Hellachopper in the battlebox

[@Laundry_Hamper]

@@forceofwillgaming8475 Search for "Robot Gladiator Hellachopper spinning test" and listen to the voices at the beginning of the video

[@GerinoMorn]

All my childhood on local cable the guy selling the "premiere bulletproof windows" was airing a spot where he stands behind his window and another fires at him, quite a lot. I have also seen few other guys that did it from other countries xD

[@napalmholocaust9093]

I need a construction foam spraying battle bot. Co-release an accelerator with it. Are captive bolts allowed? I think they are classed as flares or something legal wise. Not a pew-pew proper.

[@CrackyCreates]

watching william try to comprehend the sigma brainrot spectrum is wild

[@JKSSubstandard]

When I built my first robot, the goal was to have either me or my opponent explode. That's it. Now that I'm moving up to 3 pound, leaning more toward opponent, but it's still the same. Winning is a bonus

[@ashleysmith38]

Naming all my favourite lost media please do your own junk yard wars parody

[@TjinDeDjen]

Looked up the Hellachopper; first video I found was of the test William talked about where it started to burn at the end. And you can even hear him talking to the team at the start of the video

[@Noah-lj2sg]

I think they forgot to colour grade their log footage, the colours are so flat lol I love it

[@jonb4952]

I love it when they dont link anything about the guest in the description. GJ.

[@MudakTheMultiplier]

I'm super excited about combat robotics now! I'm nowhere near CT but there are apparently some events a few hours from me that I might have to go to this year.

[@TheFireMaker117]

38:05 literally battle bot gulag. Fighting for a second chance

[@mrhenk007]

YOOO! Peter on the podcast! I was thinking when they gonna get Peter again.

Hot Dog Launcher Bot vs Flame Thrower Bot.... accidentally turns into a low key, chill kinda cookout.

[@JobiWanKenobi804]

I love how they are still holding the mics, even though there are stands next to them I know its part of their brand, watch the Vsauce episode for more context

[@JKSSubstandard]

I think combat robots could benefit a lot from getting more eyes on plastic ant class fights. The class where a dad can spend $100 on a 3d printer and make a robot with their kid and show up on Saturday.

[@Pinfari13]

PlAnts are great, it's where I got my start. It's pretty low-stakes since you don't need to invest in a lot of metal fabrication, which lets you very rapidly iterate.

[@JKSSubstandard]

@@Pinfari13 and it's just as destructive.

William hasn't heard of Hebocon?? Poopy robot competition? Mine had a frame made of a block of uncooked ramen noodles, I called it Mad Maruchan

De silicio puro

[@kristjanveski]

The sigma male trope has its roots in stoicism and the philosophies of Marcus Aurelias. Basically, it's about being a strong, calm, more reserved man who doesn't seek attention or validation like an alpha male, and naturally attracts women as a byproduct of these traits. It's based on personality traits and a natural demeanor, so those who try to force it because they like the idea, or claim to be sigma in order to get girls, have ruined the concept and thus it has become a meme.

So you guys gotta do a think that's kinda like charades, but it's you trying to convey something in pop culture with only items from bad dragon

yah - I saw that episode of star trek too

[@dandischinosvarietyhour1655]

One of the least cursed things about hellachopper...

[@epicthief]

Better than the Freight Railroad who puts safety 4th

[@madmarble0601]

you guys should surround your bot with babies instead of hotdogs. Now, the opponent cannot damage you without committing infantcide 😊👌

They should cut it to HRL. NHRL is too many letters, but also you don't want to be mentally associated with the United States. The upcoming generations are not too keen on the entire notion of nations and borders in general.
