Mech Suit Field Trials - Episode 1 - Giant Mech Crushes a Car
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- This was truly one of the most epic mech piloting experiences in the machine to date. Last December, we were invited by the wonderful folks at Allied Salvage, who are just around the corner from our Mountain Trials site in Squamish, BC, to come and help move some cars from the scrap pile to the crusher pile. We may have inadvertently provided a little head start to the crushing part of the process...
It was a great opportunity to explore the capabilities of this machine, test the skill of the pilot, and have a ridiculously fun time doing so.
Huge thanks to the Allied Salvage crew who came in to work on a Sunday to make this happen. They also have one of the best company mottos ever: Life is Scrap #lifeisscrap
Send them a message of appreciation if you want to see us come back for round 2!

Lookin’ good 😎
Hi Megabots! 👋
Ngl much cooler than yours
Oh hey MegaBots!
I have mad respect for you guys you are the first RUclipsrs to try and build a god dame Mecha
@@jasonjackson8111 I think this one is cooler
Let's just respect the fact that this is a rare robot that can actually get on and off its own trailer. Nice.
Thank so much for appreciating that Nate. My team gave me a hard time for being so excited about finally mastering the ability to climb on and off the trailer. Not only was it a a slightly terrifying challenge that I was proud to accomplish as a mech pilot, but it's also really handy :o)
@@exosapientech Seriously, you should be proud. It's a huge step (ba-dum-tiss) towards this entering the world of practical use. Many robots need hours of work from a team of PhDs for every time they get on the ground.
Yea, it's really cool that they showed that without any cuts or editing, right?
@@WiseWik I'm sure it takes a while, but I am the kind of nerd who would watch the whole process.
@@PocketDoor he said it's 5 minutes
This deserves so much more recognition this is insane
Thanks man. Spread the word. The faster we can build a huge audience, the sooner we can build our next generation of mech and start racing!
It is a Giant elephant mech... Crushing a car like a toy...
I have an A.P exam to take tomorrow and I'm _still _*_real_* happy thanks to this!
This has got to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen in my life! And, trust me. I've seen a lot of cool things.
This just straight up looks like something right out of a sci-fi movie! What a time to be alive.
Thanks man! Wanna learn how to pilot it?
Furrion Exo-Bionics HELL YEAH! Can’t wait for the full tutorial video! 🔥🔥🔥
Don't worry in 80 years they will be giving u 15 seconds to comply or the guy in mech suit will destroy you like some horror movie.
What's amazing is how fast it moves, alot of the mach videos I've seen have to be speed up just so they can take one step, this one moves so naturally
If this is a sport in the future I’m taking my kids to this haha
Wow this is just amazing I used to think that megabots had the best mechs but look at this monster its movements are smooth and fast Which is so cool keep up the good work
This needs more views. Shared the video everywhere I thought would be reasonable.
It looks really organic, the way it moves and jiggles! A bit like a clumsy panda, but strong as a bull!
I gotta find a video on your channel that explains the technical side. Unfortunately I'm procrastinating for a mechanical engineering exam I have. This got my motivation back up tho, so I'm off to study first!
Ha, ha! I love it! Thanks Nox. We've been flying somewhat under the radar the last 3 years, but we felt it was high time to share our accomplishments, so thanks for the encouragement and the help telling the world. This is an entirely new class of machine and just the inception of the "mech sports" concept We like to think of it as the "Wright Flyer" of mech suits. Much more to come - including a technical rundown of how the pilot integrates with the mech. Come back next time you need some help procrastinating and good luck on your exam!
Holy cow what an amazing robot. I LOVE that it's all electric.
You said it Joshua! 180kW of clean, mean electron streams!! The electric power plant has been part of the DNA of mech racing from its inception. We figured since mechs (technically Prosthesis is not a robot) are machines from the future, they should have power plants from the future.
If you like that Prosthesis is electric, check out the educational charity where the project got its start: www.eatart.org. My friends and I co-founded it back in 2007 to promote "E-nergy A-wareness T-hrough ART". There is a veritable menagerie of fantastical creations there. All 100% electric.
love how the drivers got the soing system to dampen his shock from the robot moving😎👌
So does do the pilots ;o)
those legs are lifelike in an almost creepy way
That's because they are controlled by a living control system - the pilot. No automation, no gyros, just pilot and mech, learning to dance.
This is incredible, I really hope walkers have a functional place in the near future, Boston Dynamics is already on it but you guys did something amazing with this thing!
who need bipedal robots anyways, this looks way more effective! i could actually see something like this used on a industrial (or even military) level
Imagine adding some big hydraulic crusher claws.
Travel speed and power efficiency is probably increased when bipedal, after all that is one of the reasons we humans evolved that way, other than the increased visibility. I look forward to seeing later evolutions of this machine that trend towards hybrid bibedalism and quadrapedalism, sort of like how a chimp or gorilla does it.
I’m sure they’d add a little automation for more serious purposes.
this is super cool!
It's look like a kitten playing with a ball 😂 so powerfull 😆
Love the 4 legs setup. It looks so awesome when it moves! Really excited to see more of this!
More to come!
Now I know what I want for christmas :D
That was absolutely the coolest thing that I have ever seen
Thanks London. We continue to push the limits of this beast and learn new things. Much more to come!
Pretty badass. You guys gotta find a way to advertise more (without spending too much money ofc)! I hope you all are staying healthy and safe.
Thanks Phaydren. You, our viewers, are our #1 promotional force! Share, subscribe and tell all your friends. Not only so more people can enjoy and hopefully be inspired by our work, but the bigger our audience gets, the better chance we'll have to build the next generation and have some real races!
It bears resemblance to a metal elephant without a trunk, just messing with a car using its tusks and legs.
Underrated channel... Needs way more recognition
Great! Looks like a futuristic mammoth attack! It’s so cool
Thanks Max. Love your project as well!
Furrion Exo-Bionics cool! Hope I can see your mech live one day!
@@MaxBrainDevices One day the X1 Mech Racing League will make it over to Europe. See if you can get sponsors for and Italian team!
That's one for the bucket list
That was so good even my noisy baby just stopped mid-play and stared at the tv!
So glad you’re still going strong!
LOL! My 21 month old daughter was similarly transfixed. There are few things more heart warming than when she exclaims with glee: "Big mech, BIG MECH" every time she enters our lab.
ooooh i need this future please
with badass robots
This is awesome! Great job! Looking forward to seeing more, any chance of a video just walking around in an open area? Would love to see more of the walk cycle!
Done! That's a great idea for one of our next vids. We're still in the lab right now but will be back in field trials in a couple of weeks. We'll so a full "how does a racing mech work" rundown, complete with plenty of gait footage.
Super cool! Love the form factor!
Thanks so much! We spend 5 years ruminating on the form factor before arriving at this configuration. We do have dreams of many other configurations, including fully anthropomorphic and (my personal favorite) "The Panther Mech"
@@exosapientech Ooh... "Panther mech" invokes Voltron vibes!
@@exosapientech panther mech sounds terrifying glorious and absolutely what i want in my life
@@ZachGambino I was thinking the exact thing. Or zoids lol.
The hot wind blowing, jagged lines across the sand
01:17 You know this guys a serious gear head, he drives a manual. Hell yeah!
This is Too freaking cool.
You'd love our 6 speed Cummins diesel tow vehicle. (we'll upgrade to a Cybertruck someday)
@@exosapientech *Coughs* I think the "CyberTruck" may be slightly overrated, but good luck with that. It's fugly as sin, from my personal perspective.
Appearance may not matter much to me.. but it matters just a little bit.
Plus I already have experience with electric heavy equipment. When the battery goes dead..
ITS THE BIGGEST lead weight ever.. its a situation that quickly turns into a nightmare.
Anyways, I appreciate the response.
@@MRSketch09 LOL! Yes, I thought the same about the CT at first, but it's grown on me. The issue of the "big, fancy electric vehicle turning into a lead weight" is something we have run in to ourselves. Nothing a solar panel and a few days can't solve...or lugging in a gas generator. These transitional times can yield some strange blended power arrangements. I'm sure the same was said about the first fossil fueled vehicles by people riding horses. What industry did you work in? Mining?
@@exosapientech
Manufacturing is the industry.
We are all thinking about it... mech vs elefant!
I'm so impressed with the speed and agility! This is no small feat for a large machine. Great engineering! I would not fully believe the capabilities of this machine if someone just described it to me.
Thank you. Its been a long journey. Very excited about where we go from here.
めちゃめちゃカッコいいしSF映画の世界にしか無かったテクノロジーが
既に目の前に存在していると言う事に感動する。
Wow, just wow!
It’s like watching a giant wild beast slowly tearing apart its prey.
Love this...................
When i was in highschool, i wanted to build a mech like this out of motorcycles so that I could lay flat and zoom, or crouch and walk on all four (the legs being motorcycles)
It was infeasable, but man, imagine powered wheels on that beast, the skating that's possible
So effortless to pick up that car... amazing
Your machin have awesome movement :*
WOW This is awesome! Like a adolescence dream come true but even better! I can only imagine what the future hold for you guys! Keep it up! Hmmm maybe in the future we might see a "giant robot wars" or "life size battle bots".
This is amazing
Love the shirt
Cool stuff
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen
I’m too broke to join a mech training program lol
I think it would help if they were sensory feedback for when the foot it’s something they could be a little buzz feedback for the arm or the leg that is controlling it
Great idea
@@aleksanderwit That's exactly how it works now. If the mech gets stuck, the pilot gets stuck . I recommend watching How to Pilot a Mech - Lesson 1: Basic Controls to learn more about how it is piloted: ruclips.net/video/p6t5R4rmtFY/видео.html
You got it @@aleksanderwit!
@@aleksanderwit That would be like using a Neurolink to control a robot that's rowing your rowing machine for you. The whole point is that it is a sport. Maybe in 5-10 years, when the point is utility, you might want to automate and make it easier, but at this point it would be diametrically opposed to the spirit of the project.
It's like an early prototype Goliath from StarCraft and I Love it
it's a Mastodon Zord
It deserve a million sub💖
I whish to pilot one hahhaa...
From Philippines🎊
This thing could almost be dressed up like the Grafton Monster in fallout 76 haha
@racingmech for president
Man I wish I could afford to come pilot one of these... Lol.
Incredible keep it up!
PREPARE FOR TITANFALL
OMG! That is awesome. I want to play with one. BTW Megabots sent me here.
Right on. MegaBots Matt is a friend and ally. Thanks for checking us out. You may well have your chance some day. We were planning to take the mech on tour and offer pilot training experiences before COVID hit. We will do that in due time. It will be expensive at first, but if we have our way, you'll be able to rent a mech like you can rent a dune buggy, and go for a rip!
Teacher: okay class what do you wanna be when you grow up
Me: mech racer
Teacher: . . .
Could have industrial applications for rough terrain
Hydraulic rams are pretty cool inventions.
Indeed! So simple in theory yet controlling them well becomes so complex.
@@exosapientech I imagine powering them is a bit tricky too.
@@I_Art_Laughing You can always use more power! Mech 2.0 will be about 1/2 weight with the same power. That beast will jump!
next one you build needs some retracting arms up front
could this be developed into construction equipment? Something to lift, dig, move, haul, press, whatever. Something that could be developed further into heavy equipment of the future? With no tracks. Some arms developed to grab objects, lift, dig. A mechanized forest fire fighting machine loaded with many heavy equipment abilities plus saws water. ect. A tree felling machine? The ability to move heavy equipment without tracks. What if the machine locked itself into position and all terrain wheels would rotate downward to be able to move the machine through various terrain faster to do whatever job the machine is tasked or tooled up to perform.
Are you going to add mot ''armor plates'' to fill it up a little? Or not
Today its mech racing in 100 years its mech suits TYRANNY AGAINST POPULATION LOL i'm no fool.
"So, what do you work as?"
"Mech Pilot"
Do you have any funny experiences with situations like this?
Your very own elephant mec
Nobody:
me: what I thought the tag on the video said: #lifeiscrap
Who else is here from the hacksmith?
Darryl
Beat me to it.. lol
Count me innnnn
Me 😀
Yo
This thing is incredible - all it needs is one giant arm on top of it
That would be interesting. Like a crane? Or like the Boston Dynamics spot robots?
@@exosapientech Either would be really awesome - I just think it needs more utility and power
@@beefcake1876 don't we all!
@@beefcake1876 Improved power to weight ratio for V2 for sure.
@@exosapientech Would be really nice - it's 9000 pounds but can't easily crush a car - have you guys tried moving left arm + right leg and right arm + left leg at the same time?
So is gundam a possibility or a mech with agility
The intro honestly sounds like it came from titanfall lmao
Reactor online. Sensors online.
*All systems nominal.*
This is real
Now, imagine this phone call:
ER guy: Hi is this XYZ scrap yard?
XYZ: Yes, how can we help you?
ER: Could we bring our powered exosuit to your yard and destroy a car?
XYZ: .............uhhhh suuurrreeee
LOL. Drop the 500lb battery pack, use a 300lb diesel generator/pump. More power, longer range. Could give it the required power to give it the speed it needs.
Grand scale, bigger than this...Engine powers a flywheel storage system that doubles as a gyro, 300kw, charges 5000kw flywheel/gyro storage to be used as needed for motors that can draw upwards of 600kw for short durations. Maybe things become more efficient with conductors. Superconductors.
But hey... maybe its just scifi...maybe its something seen in my lifetime? Who knows?!? I hope I get to see it.
Hey Furrion, what is the frame made of? I assume a very light weight metal considering how fast it is, and good call on the skeletal design, definitely good to keep the weight down.
Chromolly steel. Common in race cars and aerospace. Pricey, but 3x stronger then mild steel for the same weight.
@@exosapientech ooh, I thought it might be titanium or aluminum but that seems like a better option. Awesome.
@@exosapientech What is the power source for all of this?
@@spacedout4061 There's a 36 kWh lithium pack powering twin electric motors that drive hydraulic pumps.
Time to build an AT-AT or AT-ST
Maybe 2020 hasn’t been all that bad
My question is..... Do u feel the tips of the legs like your finger tips ????
More like you're walking with heavy steel toe boots (and boxing gloves)
Don't make any deals with DARPA 😆
It's better if they make 2 pilot system 1 for walking 1 for shooting
Somebody get these people a gyro-stabilizer, so the can developers Bipedal mechs.
Windsurfers, skateboards, snowboards, mechs. Training is half the fun! Just need more practice (and a few mill to build the bipedal mech)
Could this ever possibly be for sale?
Absolutely. For the right price.
I wanna see this thing fight. Is that bad?
It's natural. It's called "The Dark Side" Luke.
Maybe a tug o war with another mech.
Mr. stark?
I want to see it next to elephant
That would be awesome!
@@exosapientech Just be sure not to spook poor little guy lol
Prepare for titanfall
Wow dude, I am dreaming??
No sir. This is truly a giant, 9000lb, 200hp 4-legged, all-terrain exo-skeleton. The first prototype in our quest to create a racing league. Please follow us on this journey and help spread the word!
@@exosapientech In your orders! 🙋♂️
Squamish
Yo!
Thats epic. How many KW?
Our pack is 36kWh and can supply up to 280kW for limited bursts. It powers twin AC drives, each capable of about 50kW, so you're looking at 100kW at the legs. Flat out you get 15-20min runtime, but the pilot would be exhausted sooner than that.
@@exosapientech Thats extremely impressive! 36kwh is a solid chunk of batts
In case 2020 throw Godzilla at us.
Not seeing the utility, cool though
W H E R E D O I B U Y I T ?
If you're serious send us an email and let's talk. info@exosapien.tech
Anyone else from the hacksmith?
Looks like a forklift is more usefull
the musuck volume is off the charts way, way louder than the people or the meck to the point I can not enjoy the rest of the vid I have no idea why almost all youtube videos have this problem. the only way I could finish your vid is by completely muting the sound.
Please dont use mech suit's as a weapon, they should be advanced based on doing rescue
Very cool machine. Annoying music
they just need to learn how to name these things...prostethis is a part you add to a missing limb, not to a full-functioning human body and they didnt build this thing for handicapped people, although they could I guess.
The name has a 14-year origin story that dates back to before Furrion Exo-Bionics even existed, to when it was an art project symbolizing the amplification of our actions through technology and the responsibility that comes with that. "Prosthesis" was used in an abstract, metaphorical sense.
The next mech will have a way more badass name. Got any suggestions?
@@exosapientech name it whatever you like but think it through if you want it to make sense. If I tell someone I have a Prosthesis it means I am wounded and missing a limb or bodily organ, thats what the word means. I would suggest "rage-cage" "big-brother" "steel soul" "power-suit". or any other abstract name that matches more what it is. ;]
how about "Man-Cage!" ;]
@@whatyoudo9773 its named prosthesis most likely because it's an addition to your body, its directly controlled by you
Dissappointing... anime and Syfy have ruined our concept of what we realistically will be able to accomplish with robotics! I'll be impressed when we get a legit Iron man suit! Till then, I'll stick to science fiction for my robotics!
end the racist drug war b4 the police get these. I bet could hollop around in that in 2 hours.
Please kill the annoying stupid music, it sounds good by itself.
Man, why play this crap music at all? I wanna hear the machine!
Perhaps we'll have to add a RAW audio style video to our production list.
Now add guns
