We Used Evolution To Create The Superior PAPER PLANE!

[@thenight8796-c2j]

Finally! The "evolution" part of the channel moved from Trailmakers to Scrap Mechanic! Edit: I'm going to ruin this comment by writing "Thanks for al the likes!".

Nice new set ScrapMan! Congrats on the new house!

[@johnrogers1752]

You should create a measuring surface you can weld to the ground. That way you can just paint the block where it ends without worrying about the block getting in the way.

[@SecureGM]

Really enjoyed this one. I kind of remembered the first video I have watched on this channel, which was evolution of glider cars.

It's been so long since the last evolution video , thank you for bringing it back.

[@maxdenor1459]

Ok so you could do somethig like this: You have like a currency and every piece you add costs you X amount. Each of you start with like 30 currency and when you finish the round you get more depending on how you performed, but the amounts go like this 3rd gets 20 2nd gets 15 1st gets 10 This so its constantly leveling out the competition

[@warbadger8292]

Fun fact about 15:30 in ww2 the painted b17 bombers would survive much more then the unpainted because the paint kept the bolts in place even after getting hit by flak

[@WhitzWolf92]

Another fun fact about paint in aerospace: the NASA space shuttle's distinctive orange tank was left unpainted (after the very first mission) to save weight, its color was just from the insulation.

[@CallMe_Kaioh]

Finally, a backwards evolution video in scrap mechanic

[@mattie8162]

I love your new house the background looks amazing

[@MrMattkid]

I think keeping with the wing mod theme, try a helicopter lift challenge. You would have several different weights, I would include different grip points, slats on the bottom for a kind of pallet like grip, rails on the sides for a clamp, and a top loop for a hook. Each participant will need to design a helicopter to lift the weights using which ever grip they prefer, however the helicopter that can lift the most weight and carry it to a drop point in the least amount of time for each weight. You will need to lift off from a landing pad, fly to the load and pick it up, then fly the weight back to the landing pad and land their helicopter. Of coarse because you will be using the wings mod you will need to use rotation of the wings rather than thrusters to make it fly, this is for a real challenge both in terms of user control, but also in build functionality.

[@SpaceSoups]

I dunno about that, a helicopter is very difficult to make.

[@MrMattkid]

@SoupinSpace all you need is 2 counter spinning props, as long as there is 2 spinning in opposite directions the rotational force cancels out, then it's just tilting the props for forward, back, left and right.

[@jampacced3708]

Should definitely do more evolution stuff it's my favorite at least

[@mitalmarek8432]

Yeah, its been months since any evolution video and closest thing to evolution races is this series of races when everyone improves just their design

[@SkyReaperOne]

Should have done two straight winglets and the three middle wings with a 5 degree incline. Just to have those middle wings catch onto the air kindof like a sail would to help the plane fight against gravity a little longer. The winglets would just help at keeping it level, though they might not even be needed.

[@brendanfoley5591]

you know that is my favorite type of MM, its just so enjoyable to watch.

[@mr.person5209]

The same concepts used in planes to give them natural stability work in scrap mechanic, so if anyone had thought to give their plane dihedral wings and balance their center of gravity, it would have been really good.

[@irrelevantsafety]

I think I understand, but could you explain in simple terms?

[@mr.person5209]

@@irrelevantsafetyplanes are usually made to be stable. In most planes, there is a slight upwards angle in the wings to do this. When one wing tilts down, it is now essentially flat which makes it generate more lift, flipping the plane back up. As far as center of gravity goes, planes have their center of gravity forward of their wings. Their wings act as a fulcrum of a lever. To balance the center of gravity, the horizontal stabilizer generates negative lift. It is often a symmetrical airfoil angled down. This slight angle (because of its further distance from the ‘fulcrum’) balanced the center of gravity. When the plane pitches down, that downward angle of attack is intensified, resulting in a pitch up motion. When the plane pitches up, the horizontal stabilizer has a lesser angle of attack which lets the center of gravity pull it back to center. The vertical stabilizer also provides stability based on varying angles of attack.

[@takakatsufr1172]

Hi Srapman, is it possible to try to do a plane race or an aerial battle (cardboard plane) or make remote controlled planes if not continue like that ?

[@sametsancak3047]

I cant be the only one who loves the generation videos

[@evernewb2073]

I'm pretty sure on scrapman's plane the "tail fin" piece was being contacted by the launch mechanism before the body on all of the iterations, meaning it was literally getting thrown at a downwards angle. a perfectly flat toss and perfectly flat glide would theoretically be the best option in both game and real world physics but scrap mechanic can be janky enough that I would not be remotely surprised to find that you can make a thing that consistently falls up, let alone to find that gliding doesn't work quite how you'd expect.

[@zachcuster7528]

this was great love these videos scrapman keep it up

[@lordshaitan]

I would have preferred a proper evolution challenge that would have had all players take the winning design of a round to try and improve it. If they were all worse the following round they'd keep the same generation into the next round. Only a better design would push the players into the new model. Would have made for a far more interesting evolutionary change.

[@StickManO_O]

For paper airplanes the best arrangements is to put weight on the front and have negative angle of attack in the back (facing downwards), so at speed the plane would tend to go up, but when stalling the front weight would help pull the plane downwards which would give the plane more speed which the plane would pitch upwards and then balancing out the front weight with the negative angle of attack.

[@FanaticaExtremis]

Finally a vehicle building challenge again!

[@Belu6278]

this is my favourite series

[@golett0331]

A plane challenge that scrapman loses? Impossible

[@Xmar4]

okay this is a brilliant idea. Excellent video gentlemen

[@SonOfmowgef]

So, I was thinking, maybe you guys could do a challenge to see who can make an unmanned car that goes the straightest. You'd have to either make a course that's slightly raised with edges that slope down, or a long corridor.

[@thisismyusername6071]

Its kinda ironic how scrapman does good when driving gliders but not good in making paper airplanes

[@mihast3273]

You could make an autopiloting plane or car, basically robot racing evolution, Using sensors and stuff

[@omgtntlol]

Day 71 of asking scrapman to do a multiplayer where everyone starts at the crashed ship with a craftbot set up in the mechanic station and everyone has 30 minutes to build a vehicle from scratch, no glitches, thrusters allowed, after which everyone meets up and races along some road

[@foodbusters666]

Whoooooo Monday

[@0megaming]

I´d like to see a Helicopter race on the Country Roads map with a fixed maximum flight height of 20 blocks (limit that by a sensor below the seat for everyone) maximum of 1 thruster for each direction, 4 for lift, no glitches.

[@ak_GI]

Can you do a Challenge/ Evolution with a plane that is powered by thruster thats connected to a timer, so the thruster gets power only 5-10 sec. and you have to get trough a course or you have to achieve the furthest distance

[@vanrogeriiieduave9272]

Amazing! This is what I was waiting for a while now, happy to see this again!

[@therealao7]

Let’s go!!! I’ve wanted Scrapman to do paper airplanes, and this was awesome. Keep up the amazing videos!!

[@TheMRacer]

I'm surprised kAN didn't do a cool sensor system thing. Also I learned that 1 degree can change the behaviour alot.

[@FeuerToifel]

sensors that change the wing angle based on flown distance? since it was part of the rules that nothing can move one the plane besides the plane itself, it would have been cheating.

[@TheMRacer]

@@FeuerToifel ohh I see

[@Luziferne]

@@TheMRacer Yes, a sensor into a timer into a controller would make vor an easy way to tilt the wings up after the start and make up some of that lost height with it. And then its just adjusting the timing and angles That wouldn't be evolving much, but just fiddling with settings

[@Phlarx]

Intrestingly, the angle on the front wings is what caused Scrapman's planes to dip downward immediately: if you play the launches frame-by-frame, you can see the nose start to lift, but then the plane tips forward in response to all the weight being on the tail, causing a downward launch angle

[@harlyquin]

that was good, could of watched a 3 hour version of this easy

[@U_Geek]

In the first 20 views, I've never been this early.

[@serpentinious7745]

Hoping for a vehicle relay race over land, sea, & air transporting an angry haybot as the baton

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

I think it would have worked better if you attached the middle wings to a bearing on their forward center, and gave them a 3-5 degree elevation, while keeping the other large wings at 0, then adjust the small wings in the back to keep the glide flat.
