Using Evolution to Make the Best Catapult Car!

[@AchillesRightNow]

i like how moonbo goes from forgetting the engine twice to a literal railgun

[@0ans4ar-mu]

i think itd be neat after the placings at the 5th round if yous had a non-competetive exhibition round in which you have significantly more time and are allowed testing to bring the final designs to their 'final' evolutions and show off the limits of the design strategies you each went with during the match. feels like itd tie things together in a fun way

[@GummieI]

They actually kinda did, if you watch scrapmans video of it, kinda odd that kAN didn't include it though yeah

[@mammalianmolasses4724]

Watching Kan chase scrapmans vehicle made me think of a challenge idea. Basically set something fast off across a flat map with a bit of a head start, then race vehicles you’ve made to catch it.

[@faceboy1392]

yea that would be cool, could be either a prebuilt "runner" vehicle or maybe they could even each build two vehicles, a runner and a catcher to include in the competition

[@jonathanmacdonald9609]

That would be awesome

[@AlRizz187]

tthat would be a neat video

[@nehpestthefirst]

Level 1: negative scores Level 5: M A X I M U M Y E E T

[@TheFluke32]

As Moonbo was about to hit the barricade, I thought to myself: "You know, the top part of now looks like a pistol's hamm-". My thoughts stopped as I laughed seeing Moonbo shot out like a bullet. 🤣 🤣

[@MadMikael]

The early fails were hilarious, and I love how you guys just laughed and soldiered through them to exquisite results in the end. Very entertaining!

[@bjrnfrederiksson2505]

I just love that Moonbo got launched I just laughed hard and damn. I'm impressed by his build.

[@mkachen87]

Moonbo's catapult is the definition of a sleeper :D

[@awesomnality]

0:17 the casual diss at Scrapman’s creation got me 😁😁

[@Dinkleberg96]

You know this is trully a great evolution when the video it's half way and there's way more negative scores than positive 🤣

[@TheQuickBrickWalker]

I'm only half way through the video and this is already the best Multiplayer Monday I've seen in years!

[@AT4Engineer]

Pretty bad, ScrapMan made it 😂

[@jonathanmacdonald9609]

🤣🤣

[@AWriterWandering]

Wedge power did not come through this time.

[@renaepayne4988]

Dich

[@AstraOG]

And then he ends up losing the challenge

[@MrDustyn3]

😂😂

[@Fragnado]

So glad you're evolving your own creations and not just picking whoever comes first. Can finally start seeing something different than the same builds over and over.

[@alexwynn4434]

Way to go Moonbo!!! I love seeing him win because he's always so happy and wholesome no matter what happens!

[@chriscrane1482]

This was great. Moonbo's last run was hilarious. Kan's had an expected trajectory. Moonbo not so much.

[@Omlet221]

I think the formula is: Heavy weight High mechanical multiplication Medium speed Slightly above level launch angle Also it would be good to have the seat disconnect early with a scoop behind it

[@leonzspotg]

definitely agree with the last one, to just prevent it from moving in the other 3 directions

[@lucidocelot]

Round 3 was…. Interesting. Now I want to see a challenge where you make a car that’s supposed to catapult itself on a hook like scrapman’s did. Lol

[@Gnordlan]

I feel like the final round should have a 10 minute "make it the best it can be" round.

[@venomplayerita189]

15:19 I got dieing from this table turning scene 😂😂

[@SirNobleIZH]

In round 5, kAN had a solid 11 SECONDS of airtime DAMN

[@-Phoenix_22]

That scrap man diss at the very beginning was so funny

[@Austinn72]

Quite the Kantraption 25:35 😁

[@Brianchase010]

Really loving the evolution videos!

[@awesomnality]

Damn, this whole episode was hilarious 😁

[@ZhaojuEphastine]

I think that this video portrays how a lot of science experiments were made, especially in aeronautics x} You think of the "simple" theory, then you build your first proof of concept... And it fails dramatically. Then you spend the next attempts enhancing the initial concept while forgetting some of the parts that were functioning in the initial design. And then, after a few tries, you're starting to get the results you were expecting generations of your product ago and even if they can be slightly below your calculations, it still brings you a lot of joy to see your thing works. It also is how developing in general works, but especially in games.

[@luvrunnin12]

Idea: Instead of hitting a wall, place sensors in line forming your starting point. Something like end zone pylons. Something tall that would activate the sensors on the end of your battering ram. Assuming that would get rid of the jankiness of running into a wall.

[@Astrolex12]

I've been watching old scrap mechanic and trailmaker challenge videos and I got a cool idea but I suck at modding What if you had a ballast block to help make submarines in building games like this? The ballast block would work like this: it's fillable with water (but in reality the weight just gets adjusted) so in essence it transforms from a buoyant block to a sinking block. Like bubble blocks, ballast blocks would float by default but to sink, you need to add enough ballast blocks to overcome the natural buoyancy of your vehicle. For user friendly interactions, the ballast block has 3 settings: empty (float) full (sink) and neutral buoyancy where they automatically fill with juuuuust enough water to make your creations neutrally buoyant. Of course you can divide them for manual fine tuning and so on. And the center of mass would have a cool effect. Putting full ballast blocks under empty ballast blocks would naturally keep your submarine upright. It's a very niche idea but I think this would make a cool mod for anyone interested in making this a reality

[@770tim]

Low-key miss the OG Scrap Mechanic vids (the 2020-2021 ones) but I get it, we all evolve to new things and I think it's good y'all are still playing* it but also exploring new horizons :) Man we are in 2023, time just flies...

[@jean-pierreolivier8806]

How about you combine these creations with your paper planes and see who can launch their plane the furthest, epic series btw keep it going

[@N0V-A42]

The mechanism of your and Moonbo's creation is fascinating. I'm curious about how it works.

[@jordananderson2728]

It's a Class 1 lever that, instead of operating like a seesaw as a normal catapult would, converts the impact and linear motion of the ram into the rotational motion for the catapult. When the ram hits the wall, it pushes back against the bottom of the lever, which causes the contraption to pivot. Because of the way Moonbo and Kan designed their levers, this created an immense amount of velocity in a very short time, sending them flying into the heavens.

[@Blaster_Unity_UB]

@@jordananderson2728 pretty simple, of you ask me.

[@jordananderson2728]

@@Blaster_Unity_UB It's super neat because it uses the energy of an inelastic collision instead of tension or gravity. Definitely not how I would have thought to do it, but it worked fabulously.

[@SlushyVeX]

"this ones pretty bad ... Scrapman made it..." 🤣🤣🤣

[@Gn8Lif3]

What a mess of an Episode My teacher would have said Well at least they were present

[@Vinraymi]

I made one inspired by yours and it launched me from the middle of the map to the world border xD

[@Pyrrhist]

Mm idea make thin dart cars and drive them at a thin wall. Whoever glitches the furthest through the wall wins

[@AWriterWandering]

27:24 i can’t wait to see this from Moonbo’s perspective

[@hackerkun9346]

Moonbo going Mach jesus on the 5th was funny

[@jaunusender6166]

I'd even enjoy 5 more rounds of this game.

[@NIKOtheMONKEY]

You guys should have 3 attempts, i think testing going normal run then fast vs slow would made alot of diff in this evo

[@bobisha772]

Multiplayer Monday Idea: Create a "cow" vehicle where you hop in the seat, throttle up all the way, and then disconnect the seat to make a runaway vehicle. The three of you have to design a vehicle to chase down the "cow" vehicle and immobilize it. The person who does it the fastest wins.

[@Bohnson.]

Suggestion: Use these kind of vehicles and play boule with them

[@ScottaHemi440]

lol those where great xD i wonder how yours would have done with a backboard?

[@peanut88abab]

That was a great idea

[@alexanderdemont1104]

I'd enjoy to see the if you each had one "steal" where at some point before the modification stage you could steal someone else's build and then make your own modifications to it yourself

[@peterisaacson6953]

The music for the building montage is like an angel singing

[@digitaltoys.]

nice video and I recommend you to play Catapult Legend

[@senpai_mangue6141]

imagine a setting on the engines that automatically stops the engine when a seat isnt connected

[@AlechiaTheWitch]

Could have tried dual plungers

[@_miobrot_603]

Lol kAn placed the seat correctly then deleted it and replaced it so it is attached to the spud gun 🤣

[@bobbertbobbathon3322]

now I want to try this with my advanced technique of overengineering and overcomplication

[@BeanLord03]

You could try a hover craft evolution, say start with just 5 thrusters and move up from there.

[@frogsecretaryofswamp452]

too bad he didnt use the max evolution like scrapman did

[@clayfuller5547]

Nobody:________literally nobody:_____kan's car: I CRAVE VIOLENCE!

[@adamshults9810]

How about a MM where you have to wrangle runaway creations like kAN had to do with Scrapmans crashapult

[@mattmays9063]

Kan, am I losing my mind, or do you need a playlist of the Multi-player Monday episodes?

[@LooTheToilet]

Any chance we can bring back some of the fan favs of the mm sm races

[@CyprustheWaruhi]

Physics evolution. Like start at the highest and lower it down to 1 like 2 at a time. Maybe a short race or something. Make one vehicle and then try to race (or something else. Races in some regards are overdone)

[@Marcus-jt2ff]

I loved this. absolutely amazing

[@MRDUALITY]

Hey guys I want to know if its possible to create functioning Flying boats BUT using a Canard wing configuration. Can maybe be a challenge 😏 maybe even have an air battle between the airships afterwards 🤗

[@tannerbibeau1928]

What happened to the cool build music? Now its just like that on hold, ring tone commercial lol

[@danlarch3560]

God I love MM, Thank you so much!!

[@paganathiest6349]

can yall do some like battle bots? like drills and saws and mounted spud guns? also i saw at least 3 different ways to improve the launcher lol

[@GRAPLE_BOY_303]

Kan: Moombous vehicle does not even move, mine doesn'd seem to leave the wall, your just seams to go on a adventure, mean while the car does whelles in the same time Kan is trying to chase it 😂😂😂😂

[@norko94]

Hey kAN do you think a timer in the time lapse could be a good idea. Like how much time is left? I would like to see it

[@maxpatthadonkaewpadung4224]

Next idea for multiplayer Monday, truck trailer parking

[@justyouraveragenerd5152]

I wanna see a multiplayer Monday where you try to cheat

[@captainwolf0117]

I miss your guys survival series. You ever gonna go back to it?

[@gooddalek304]

You should do this again but launching a glider using the wings mod.

[@williamdolson3835]

what is your build music i find it really calming

[@mohdnazimrosli8535]

Catapult Penalty kick !! using the same vehicle as goalkeeper n kicker!

[@jamesthomsen8990]

Should have put wings on the seat to glide further

[@smokey2299]

PLS DO EVOLUTION TO MAKE A LOGIC MISSILE! So all preset controls goals length.

[@joshuamns1]

insert pewdiepie meme here "its like evolving...only backwards" lol

[@jaunusender6166]

There's no such thing as consistency anymore.

[@Bobbyttfnn]

I just noticed hos timelapse music on the first one is the same a kallmekris's intro

[@Kurls.]

Trailmakers when

[@grimmstudios4041]

I have an MMM idea for you you guys trade builds with each other so you’re trying to sabotage each other’s builds or your build so then it doesn’t work for the other while trying to give yourself as much of a advantage like you each build each other a car to use but it Hass to be usable like maybe it’s slowly falls apart It’s an idea for the build or it gets more top-heavy

[@doctorstrangepants6706]

Moonbo go nyooooooom

[@Outrun_Official]

wassup :)

[@Hyperion_640]

The math wasn't matin when that car flew

[@skwirils]

Love these vids

[@thatmadengineer_5552]

Is kAN just allergic to calling it a crash-a-pult

[@theknifeconnection9571]

you should have went 3 more rounds here

[@collaredjacket6196]

this ones pretty bad scrapman made it and no one acknowledged that huge dagger at scap

[@strelokzone89]

Explosive tron boats

[@Pizza_Box_PC]

Im a og xD

[@ceroluthor]

Hi Moonbo, bye Moonbo

[@bobbob4705]

This is epic

[@Mihoshika]

Thought video title was 'Catapult Carl' not 'Catapult Car!".

[@danthiel8623]

Carrrrrllll!

[@SirNobleIZH]

*MOONBO WITH THE LINE DRIVE

[@Icym0nk3y]

I Miss Moonbo

[@dermoto5367]

Can you do a Rocketleague game on multi player monday

[@peanut88abab]

Scrap man vehicle with father than he did😆😂😂😂

[@terrarian0918]

What is the name of the music?

[@RobertJackson-vc9rk]

the v in v2 stands for version

[@technosyrup]

Wow

[@engineermechanic5051]

does scrapman have autotune active or something he sounds wierd

[@wotsits9665]

nice one

[@nickschmitt8838]

That is why it’s bad scrapman mad it

[@bread0237]

Bread

[@pascha4527]

why do scrapman sounds like an Ai generated voice?!
