When will they make a battlebots with beetles?

👌🌝

[@defiantspirit8512]

I just saw this and was going to comment real life beetle Borg's, so glad I'm not the only one that knows about that show. Lol

[@bigevil1001]

I came here to make a Beetleborgs reference and you beat me to it.

[@schramollie]

how do you not have more views? your videos are incredibly well made! keep it up!

[@rcuzumaki3482]

Yeah I agree!

[@beetlecast]

Haha thank you! I’ll keep em comin!

[@moditorplayz]

That breeder must be flabbergasted to have the us military ordering beetles from him/her

[@noti7510]

say them for inclusivity and because it's shorter

[@HarmsFootball]

KZbin algorithm recommended me this so, hopefully, it means that it’s going to blow up (as it deserves to). Great video

[@beetlecast]

Thank you! I’m really happy that KZbin’s been pushing this a bit

[@astick5249]

I cant imagine how confusing of an experience this must be for the beetle. 4:58 I mean right here you can see the beetle taking a second to realize that its suddenly flying and it does a sort of fumble takeoff

[@beetlecast]

Yea it must be crazy for the beetles, imagine getting a muscle spasm that just sends you sprinting. I'd be so disoriented haha

[@HumMoff]

That was really interesting! I never knew how advanced the technology for controlling life is. The beetle facts were also pretty fascinating. Great video, and keep creating!

[@beetlecast]

Thanks so much, it’s always fascinating reading new/weird research in biology so I’m glad you enjoy it as much as I do!

[@WizzleTeats69]

How does this only have 225 views. Your production skills are those of someone with upwards of 750k subscribers. Keep up the good work!!

[@beetlecast]

Thank you! I hope I make it someday but till then will happily make more vids

[@Karlusman]

Cyborg beetles are pretty cool, but why cant they shoot lasers.

[@beetlecast]

I believe that should be the next step

[@joshsuds8846]

Hope your channel blows up soon!

[@blueyl4219]

I think I’d pay more attention to a Goliath sized beetle flying around than a small drone. A drone could be someone’s toy, but if I saw a giant beetle I’d be like “Holy crap, what was that?” And then I would chase it because I want it.

[@beetlecast]

Hahaha yea, definitely not the best spy tool. I'd totally chase after it too!

[@VZN2020]

glad I came across this. keep up your videos man!! doing great. super interesting content too

[@beetlecast]

Thank you! I’m glad that everyone finds this stuff as interesting as I think

[@WIAFofficial]

This is a great video and the production quality is amazing.

[@floodedmoat]

Speaking of the USA, it’d be cool if you covered the giant beetles found there. Most Americans associate giant beetles with exotic pets from tropical regions, completely forgetting about eastern Hercules beetles, ox beetles, and elk stag beetles.

[@beetlecast]

I definitely want to talk about eastern hercules beetles sometime in the near future. I've been pretty busy recently but I hope to get around to it ASAP.

[@honoyetameow5349]

Incredible video, you made the information succinct and entertaining to go through, the more scrupulous editing it very well done albiet minimal and the overall topic was very engaging(so much so that you appeared at the top of my recommended on a video about table top models. More than worthy of a sub, I hope this youtube channel starts to take off to the point that you're able to make more content and more frequently. Just keep doing what you're doing my dude!!! Severely underatted channel, I'll make sure to link this video to any of my friends who are even remotely interested in bugs, insects and robots/cyberpunky-esque tech.

[@beetlecast]

Ahh thank you so much! I'd love to get to the point where I can focus primarily on this but for now I'll keep going at it till I make it!

A suggestion of what beetle to cover would be the warrior beetle

[@beetlecast]

It would be a fun one to cover!

Disadvantages of using large beetles as spy bots: Too big, people would want to catch them Disadvantages of using flies as spy bots: *SMACK!*

[@beetlecast]

haha exactly

[@wither5673]

so they can control the little guys and they are robust enough to just shake it off afterward?.....thats just...crazy lol.

[@beetlecast]

Beetles are truly amazing haha

[@norule0]

next time the beetle will go to school armed with gun

[@beetlecast]

@Ididathing put one on a robot dog so maybe I'll put one on an elephant beetle but... it'll probably hurt the beetle from recoil so I'll have to think about it.

[@Wifgargfhaurh]

What hasn't the US military done?

[@beetlecast]

It'd be too short to make a video

How many got eaten by 🐦 🕷 bats & other insect eaters? Also a great way to mess with a friend or family member.

Maybe the flies that won't stop bothering your meals were actually controlled by friends/family messing with you hahaha

[@ClarissaPacker]

@@beetlecast my friend told me a story & this is some talent she had, where she caught some flys tied thread around their feet & let them loose in restaurant causing the other customers to panic thinking they were flying 🕷

@@ClarissaPacker Lmao, that is an amazingly hilarious talent!

[@КрутоусОстап]

I heard that insects do react to the influence of outside world, but they don't feel pain, their bodies react but not them, is it right? Or I just confused them with crabs?

[@beetlecast]

I'm sorry that I can't give a good answer to this right now but whether or not arthropods, in general, feel pain is a hotly debated topic. Pain outside of humans is really hard to define and determine especially since there's numerous arguments and definitions. The wikipedia page on "Pain in invertebrates" is a fun read and honestly I'll probably make a video on this topic because it's such an interesting one! Thank you for the question

[@КрутоусОстап]

@@beetlecast welp, I saw once how crocodile just casually bit off another crocodile's fingers, and it just turned around and was like "huh???". So I guess it's not uncommon for animals to be more bricks than emotions

[@lissobone7635]

Hope these beetles will be running free (as in freedom) software (so they'll have the freedom to change the code that controls their muscles).

[@chiefoftimes387]

Is mind control real? Yes it is!

[@arielmalsireal5453]

🤨🤨🤨

[@Dell-ol6hb]

Very interesting but why would anybody want to control a beetle? For any use I can see for it, there already exists far better, more effective methods.

[@beetlecast]

Possible uses are for surveillance and search-and-rescue missions but you do have a point in that drones of their size can effectively accomplish the same thing. The idea was that miniature robots that size are energetically expensive to fly and if you can get a biological system to do the flying part then you can allocate more electricity and energy to the applicative stuff like controlling, thermal sensing, recording etc.

[@Dell-ol6hb]
