In one of the fazbear frights books we can also see how springlocks fail. The entire endo more or less replaces the bones of the host, spreading the skin around in the suit. It's why you can see William's eyes are replaced with the endo's from the inside and the two rods shooting out from under the eyes.
interesting! I also remember it described the head as feeling encased,like in a serated vise. I'm not sure the endo eyes replace Afton's eyes tho, it's quite the opposite,the eyes are probably taken out of the suit instead of being held back by the springlocks,hence why his ees in FNaF 3 are veiny,human-like eyes.
@@technofurs On springtrap's model you can see the rings out the eyes and they're extremely large at least to me, the veins I think are cause the endo eyes smashed into the human eyes from the inside out, the fazbear fright story has it were the springlocks are so bad that the only thing that somewhat resembles a human is a limp empty face which is pretty close to Afton's head shape. It's really brutal.
@@titanapd9647 don't forget that scott is really bad at making human model (you can see that clearly on scraptrap) so the corpse of afton in springtrap is probably not accurated
@@SakuraInktale that's true but weirdly enough I think it works for springtrap, because it's not an actual head it allows the weird shape to make it look like the flesh is sagging
Simple fix to having springlocks not malfunction, just reverse the way they work. Make it so by default they are in suit mode and you need to wind it up for it to be in animatronic mode, then if it did fail for some reason the animatronic would just go into suit mode and collapse onto the ground, with nobody inside of it.
I think that fazbear entertainment is a bit too sketchy to let the animatronics go limp on stage, they don’t really care about their employees since they leave defenceless in a room with deadly robots walking around
@@LegoSnoopDogg Fazbear Entertainment as it is today is not the same as what it once was back in the Fredbear era. It became a corrupt, corporate entity long after Fredbear’s closed. Henry and William were the ones running the show
Man. The way that you made the springlocks work in this video, I could definitely imagine the pain of a springlock failure. I could imagine it breaking all of the bones in the body according to 3:54
I got a few at home (even got one near me rn) and I can tell,they wouldn't crush you to death. But commonl,these are just used for garage doors and disk readers! They are very common hardware! :)
Well to be fair, in real life a spring lock wouldn’t have the force to crush a person. It’s a spring, and even just from a size point of view, they are powerful enough.
Amazing, the effort that has gone into this is brilliant. I learnt a few things that I didn't know before also, Phone Guy says "Please make sure the Spring Locks are fastened tight, to ensure the animatronic devices remain Fixed."
Perfect recreation! This is just how I imagined them. The whole idea with endo pushed to the back of the suit is the most logical for the springlocks that retain full endo even in suit mode. To be honest, I believe that springlocks were originally meant to hold “crossbeams and wires”, which, according to Phone Guy, empty suits are full of. However, Scott models have extremely poor consistency, so it’s logical that he made something completely different. I believe that book springlocks (or endo-less) can hold not only parts that lock on the endo for the stability, but something like additional hydraulic parts, programmable blocks for better AI and so on. The game springlocks are terrifying and more epic, but books springlocks are how such a mechanism would be made IRL.
Most people seem to think this, hence why in fanmade springlock failure videos you just see crossbeams shooting from the sides of the suit. The idea of the book's springsuits containing AI and hydraulic extensions is actually confirmed! In The Twisted Ones, Springtrap is said to have superhuman strenght,and outright states that he uses the AI that controls the animatronic's performances to control the Twisted animatronics!
@@technofurs There is a huge problem arising with using “endo in the back” model - you need to somehow retract hip and shoulder joins. This means that the whole endo should be very elastic and have multiple retraction points, connected by additional joints, to push the whole construction in the back part. About hydraulics and so on - I just assumed it from the real life! I believe that empty suits still have some mechanisms to move the jaws, maybe some ventilation systems, voice changers and so on. We can just assume that speinglock retract all these parts in their appropriate places. Tbh, I like both variants while drawing Springtrap. The first variant provides you with a horrifying image of bones fused with metal (can’t even imagine the level of pain) with animatronic joints sliding into the real human joints, and the second variant provides a horrifying “iron maiden” imagery. Battington uses it perfectly.
What if the limbs could lenghten and retract,so that it would fit the wearer better while they moved? I tried expermineting with that idea and it seems to kinda be it? The joints are really the hardest part to make wearable, I think. For the jaws,we know they use pistons (i.e: Fredbear,Springtrap..) tho hydraulics might not be the power system for Springtrap! voice modules are canon to springlock suits,but only the modern ones (The New Kid tells us that people are creating modernized springlock suits with voide changers)
@@technofurs there are some more springlock shenanigans in the new “Tales From The Pizzaplex” anthology series, and this anthology series seems to take place in the games timeline. In the third book Somniphobia, the second story Pressure gives a lot of information given on how springlock suits work - the springlock suits in that story are likely old and modified, at least as far as I know, but that’s all the spoilers I’m giving you for that story. The Tales From The Pizzaplex series also contains Epilogues that you should read. Tales 4, Submechanophobia, has an Epilogue that provides information that may or may not be related to what we learn in Pressure. Hope this helps! Edit: Like someone else said, there’s a story in the Fazbear Frights series that focuses on working on a springlock suit. This story is called Together Forever, and it is the third story in Fazbear Frights #10: Friendly Face.
@@technofurs Limbs definitely can, but what would we do with the body itself? Limbs are connected to the joints that are located on the torso, and retractable torso would be the hardest part.
11:36 This is what I believed too. I never saw this as a Spring-Lock failure cause FredBear wasn’t in suit-mode. Spring-Lock failure’s happened when the Spring-Lock’s are set back into place or whatever, just reverting back to animatronic-more while an employee is in it.
@@technofurs 30 years later... *Some kids playin in abandoned house* *Find this strange looking suint infront of the long broken camera* *suddenly, suit is standing and tries to communicate, but cant...* *Kids running away to their parents and telling them all of this* FNaF fan parents^ I knew he did it! now I need to see real springtrap out there! Where is the house?
I feel like Scott made spring locks like this to make the story more scary in a weirdly fascinating way because like it was shown at the end if they were real they would be way safer and almost impossible to set off and they probably wouldn’t do any harm mainly because there would be safety so if they do break loose then the pressure wont be enough to stab into you, most likely just fit perfectly like a watch on your wrist.
I find it kind of funny how, years after the animatronic pizzeria craze, a random game developer invented a mascot suit concept that would've completely revolutionized the niche if it had existed at the time, only to be used in his spooky little bear games I hope that you can get a full suit going, seeing springlock technology fully realized would be a genuinely incredible thing to witness
Similar suits did exist, they were called Talking Walkarounds! I will make a documentery about these one day. I do agree it can total revolutionize this industry,and I cannot wait to finish these suits!
@@technofurs oh yeah, I know about articulated suits! stuff with robotics inside of them that have robotics inside that can move the mouth and eyelids! but actual springlocks are like, next level potential for this too, so I'm VERY excited to see where this goes if a working suit can be made :)
I'm glad other people know about this! They are fascinating and I wished more of the fanbase knew they exist. By the way, I am done soon with the springlock mask!
This is an amazing video. Always wondered this since fnaf 3, thanks for the visual breakdown! I have also considered 12:11 frequently too, so I'm glad someone else had the same thinking.
Also, another thing that’s implied by Phone Guy is that it was actually caused by Fredbear finishing his performance and switching to free roam, causing the jaws to close down.
very interesting approach. I always imagined them in a different way though: I always thought that the springlocks pulled the entire endoskeleton to the back of the suit on the inside, allowing room to climb in. upon a Springlock Failure, the entire endoskeleton would be released and therefore launced inside the body, and so pushing a person's spine forwards and turning their brain into mashed potatoes.
that's a good approach, this is initially what I believed too, and it kinda made sense, tho I wonder, wouldn't it rip the fabric of the suit instead of crushing the wearer ?
@TechnoFur its because theres a layer of harder material, probably some sort fiberglass that the fabric covers (its why when even a animatronic has no endoskeleton it keeps it shape.)
10:25 When Charlotte sets off one spring lock, the person in the suit moves too fast to grab his head and remove the mask, setting off all the arm springlocks, then the body ones. And leg ones. Imagine that happening to you, jeeze.
That is a fair point but I always saw as the vibration of one going of causing the rest to fail also the blood probably would help escalate the situation
Geez I new some stuff about the springlock suits but this really opened my eyes to the full thing! I didn't realise how many spring locks were in each area!. Great video and I can't wait to see more from you (300th subscriber!)
@@technofurs its no wonder how William or any of the other (supposed) springlock victims couldn't get out, because I had thought it was just a few massive locks holding everything away from the body but jeez
Real life springlocks would easily be much less dangerous since we have modern tech, since the FNAF games that include them take place a long time ago.
The interesting thing is that since the springlock suits were made in the late 70's or early 80's ( i dont believe its specified so its safe to assume this time frame) it makes perfect sense that they would be delicate, Most novel technology of that time was. So its quite interesting to see how well that lines up with actual history of technology like this
This is great! It's super informative and gives me a great look into springlocks. I've been wanting to build a springlock suit for a while and this really helps! Your channel in general is also really good. You're way under-rated.
a few years later (5 kids was killed and no one knows where, and how, but the new pizzeria that copied a few locations from a game named " Freddy Faz bears pizza ") now we know what happened.
This probably the best explanation of the springlocks and is very detailed. Especially combining with the Fazbear Frights story and the game makes even better. I always wondered how it would would work. 👍
Well, I have a guess. As I understood from the video, in fact, to ensure the safety of the person inside the suit, it was only necessary to use extension springs, not compression springs. So that the starting position is not the "animatronic" mode, but the "wearable suit" mode. Then, if the malfunction would happened, the endoskeleton would return "up", and not inside the shell. I'd be stunned if it was that easy to solve.
Fazbear entertainment wouldn't let that happen. An animatronic performing could fail it's locks, going into suit mode. This would ruin the immersion as the suit flopped to the ground while a performance was happening. Fazbear entertainment was so focused on the immersion they made it so that lives were at risk rather than the immersion of customers.
I had always used to think that the plastic outer casings were completely seperate from the endo and to wear the suit youll need to take the endo of. The springlocks would be on the casings and they would fassen the endo for motor ability. That is how its done in the books. Also i did not think that there would be enough space inside to fit both the human and the endo but you already covered that. Incredible work dipicting this could work.
This is something I wanted to see so badly since 2015. Couldn't have asked for a better, more thorough representation of Scott's bizarre brainchild. Worth the wait
Possible answer to what is mentioned between 10:24 and 10:30 I simply think the reason it seams to be one spring lock triggers all is that it's actually triggering one to initiate pain on the user and because the user is likely to reflex from the pain the erratic movement then trigger's the rest. As for the bite of 83 what may have been the cause was his tears not triggering any spring locks but rather shortening any wire/circuits inside leading to malfunction.
i imagine the bite happened because fredbear's machinery was still trying to move the mouth, and after a little bit of struggling because id imagine a skull being crushed would be kinda hard, the jaw clamped down, maybe from a more sudden mouth-closing movement or because the pressure was slightly building up so in turn the bite of 83 happened (i wrote this comment when i was tired so ignore the edits)
Interesting video. I liked how the information was presented in a very professional manner. That said, there are some spelling, grammar, and punctuation issues, along with a few malaprops. I also found the text to be cleared too quickly (especially in the trivia sections), and the glitching text made it difficult to read without having to slow the video down. I only comment regarding this as, if you're going to make an audience read this much with no voice over, it ought to be correct. I do appreciate the effort put into the video, though! I did not know that spring locks were actually a real-life thing, so I learned something new!
Thanks for the advices! I get that the text was overall very messy, and I'm not that great in english,but I will make more efforts for the next video,so it can be both read and listened to, of course with less spelling mistakes :p
The reason people thought the Bite of 83 was a springlock failure is because Scott likes to expand on points in his next game. Fnaf 2 expanded on the Bite of 87 from Fnaf 1 Fnaf 3 expanded on The Purple Guy (William Afton) from Fnaf 2 So naturally, people expected Fnaf 4 to expand on the “Multiple Simultaneous Springlock Failures” mentioned in Fnaf 3. It didn’t help that the Fnaf 4 mini games were set in the times of Fredbear’s Family Diner.
FNaF 3 is NOT set with Fredbears', it's actually a looong time after FNaF 1. A loooong time because Afton was rotting in the Safe Room of the FNaF 1 location after it was closed, but was released after some people were snooping around for memorabilia for the FNaF 3 location
I feel the only reason all springlocks activate would mainly be due to the fact they mainly occur in the head region if we are to be generous and say most failures start at the head this would mean the blood would leak downwards activating more and more locks and splashing blood everywhere causing a whole suit failure
im always confused why people say the bite of 83 was a springlock failure, no one wound up the springlocks, no one intended on wearing it, so the springlocks were already deactivated so that just means that the animatronic just crushed the kids skull and had nothing to do with the springlocks
Right? It's performing (so likely opening and closing it's mouth anyways) they put him in when the mouth was open but were too busy laughing to realize the big bear would inevitably have to close it's mouth at some point (and didn't realize the thing could actually hurt anyone).
It is the video that explains in a very graphic way the operation of the springlocks, a doubt it is a very interesting video I hope the video is recognized
7:40 it's important to mention wear&tear too, you'd have to look after both of the suits where as in the springsuits, you'd only have to look after one. you may say that the springlocks would cost more to be looked after but since springlocks are really simple, they wouldnt cost that much in retrospect compared to the seperate animatronic and mascot
Great video! learned a lot! I'd imagine that a safer version of springlocks would put something to block the springlocks from snapping back once locked, so then springlock failures would be impossible
i feel that the springlocks are only dangerous because the spring used to wind up the parts have waaaaaay too much tension...like if they are strong enough to shoot metal rods deep enough into your body to make deep scars, then that's not only dumb and reckless design but its also just impractical... if a crank is already implemented to wind up the springlocks then why not just take the spring out of it and just make the wind up process work like a screw...the parts can be screwed back tightly and then locked for even more safety and when they are no longer being used to be worn, just crank to unscrew metal rods and wiring back into place...
The anatomy of the suit (game version) makes it hard for me to picture how someone would fit in it, the way the ribs are positioned would make the wearers torso be in front of the limbs and head due to the wearers spine leaning up against the suits spine. Another thing that's got me wondering is where would your feet go when the suit is in performer mode? Do you stand on the suits feet? The novels depiction of spring locks makes more sense anatomically, as having clamps within the mascot that hold onto an endoskeleton is easier to picture. All in all, this was a very informative video! This is by no means hating on you, Scott's design for the suit just makes it confusing to picture.
Well, looking at the Corpse of Springtrap, you can see why the suit and endoskeleton looks like what it does in the games. If Scott knew how to actually model an accurate human corpse, the suit and endoskeleton would look very different. Scott is a good modeler, but when it comes to humans, we both know that is he starts to face troubles. Springtrap's corpse is the best human model Scott has made by far.
I've gotten a greater understanding of this, thank you so much, please, make more videos like this, we all love it. Also I'm subscribing, just had to point that out
The info I have gathered of springlocks just doing re-search of springlocks till 2019. It may be a possibility to make one but it will be difficult and will take a lot of time prob if you know how, maybe 1 or 2 months. but if you don't it could take up to 4 years. It can kill, depending on the suit or its weight. It can also be safe, but its difficult to explain I can try from what I have understood by being a Afton and FNaF fan for now 5 or 4 years doing a lot of research due to curiousity: Springlocks may take hundreds of dollars just to afford a body part if its gonna be how its described in wikipedias, websites, videos, games, books etc. It can kill, depending on the weight of the suit and you. If the springlocks are pure metal it can be highly dangerous, but if its metal you have a chance of surviving. If the springlocks are made to lift the weight of the metal suit, it will need a lot of improvement to set the springlocks to the right places and functional. Making a Endo for the animatronic can take up to 800-1000 depending on the animatronic movements and things it can do like running, tail moving (if it has a tail), ear moving etc possible. And in total for a fully functioning springlock suit it can take up to 20000 dollars to make the full animatronic with fully functioning springlocks that go off at the same time. It does kill very slowly and painful if it can kill. it will leave marks on your body forever if you manage to get out of it. And if you die you simply will die. Its not like you will live forever like William Afton because he did some kind of a remnant plan in the game lore. Its not real but lets just hope that it will never happen. And yeah if you do happen to become a full body springlock victim there's no way you can survive, the springlocks are very tight if they all loosen to the skin. They will be so tight that you CANNOT escape death no matter what you do. You will drown to your own blood in full body victim. if its any partial body part you can get the body part amputated and live. but only until its not throat, head, or torso then you cannot survive anymore depending how fast you will get the suit off if its not too late. My info might be wrong but this is just what I have gathered!
Hello! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate any critiscism! Of course this animation is an interpretation and is outdated since the official models have been datamined. Still, I'd like to respond on a few things! The rings are too small relative to the arms (and by proxy the wearer) if we compare the model to a human figure. Hence why I made the cage open and close, it makes more sense to me As for the inner rod, this rod is meant to house the servomechanisms, and it'd be highly unlikely that it'd divide (leaving the various mechanisms open to the air and to the shock of the springs) instead, I think it just gets coiled back, as said in the training tapes! Most of the interpretation is based on likelyhood and real-life physics and measurements, to get as close to canon as possible. For the legs and feet, I have no clue for the 'drum' tighs. I can guess they are a stylization of the tigh motors on each FNaF endo, especially endo-02, and separating it would make sense and not at the same time (servomechanism issue.) a quick lore reason for Scraptrap's bones is both mere redesign wich happens often in FNaF, but also remnant! In the various books, its healing properties are exposed. I agree for the metal 'gloves', your hand probably just slips in! Now, onto the real deal breaker: The face endoskeleton. To me, the head definitly isn't meant to be taken out, that'd defeat the purpose of the suit. But pressure makes it sound like it's supposed to be taken out so **maybey** that's the case, it's just kind of illogic to unwire and unplug the head before wearing it especially since Springtrap still has all the CPUs inside, as proven by his audio mechanics in FNaF 3. For the neck, that'd make sense for there to be a sort of rod inside the neck, since that follows the traditional structure of a FNaF endo, and the rod is also in the bare endo's model from HW. That alone should confirm the presence of that rod. And of course, the ribcage... They couldn't let a human slip in based on proportions, so to me they're meant to expand, rotate, contract, to make space for the wearer. Plus, in Pressure, weren't they described to shape themselves around the wearer's body? :) The shoulder probably retract inside the costume given the structure ressembling a piston, and the graphic novels depicting this (not in the animation) Also based on proportions, the hips fit! I will be honest, I think that the models are of course not as representative of springlocks as the story can describe. The stories are written as to foreshadow and exemplify the horrificdeath while inside the suit, hence the sharp clamps, the details about the metal feeling, etc... While the books and models have different levels of accuracy, I agree the books are more representative! (plus Pressure was an amazing story! ;)) Keep in mind this is a game concept barely explained in 9 years, and hard to work with IRL. There are a LOT of issues with stability in the concept and prototypes by themselves, so of course the way the models could work in-game is still relatively and interpretation ! With that in mind, I hope I cleared well my directions on this animation
Finally, this video was so detailed. This is what I had been looking for thank god and also, I’m definitely gonna be following this project of yours because I want to see where this goes.
Would you enter a springlock suit irl with the knowledge it is much MUCH safer than in the games, but also with a risk of getting springlocked, would you?
You guys did some insane work there, congrats. As a machine maintenance mechanic, i have a few things to add: If they either 1. "Reversed" the springs by shortening or increasing their length so they retracted/stressed in animatronic mode and expanded/not stressed in suit mode (Then adding a need to reengineer mainly the lock system). 2. Reposition the springs to be outwards the endo (Adding a need to reengineer the system even more). It would always be pushing the system outwards, not inwards, adding safety just in case, even though these things are obviously dramatized as fragile in the series for the sake of lore. The only thing that would need some repisitioning in both cases would be the wind system that would now work outwards the endo, winding it all inside and not outside. Btw, cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Do not do these things if you were to wear a spring suit: •don't kill children and hide from their vengeful spirits •don't wear the spring suit in a hurry while it's raining •don't laugh your lungs out if you're wearing this extremely dangerous suits Lesson learned, don't ever be like Afton :)
But to sing fredbeard moves his mouth which means it's able to do that : open and close (and if it was hydraulic the tears could have damaged the electronic part which can cause the closing of the mouth) so it was a failure but not the springlock
I mean. Imagine how horrible it would be getting a bunch of springlocks inside you!? Like luckily people didn't use it to torture cause that is just sick.
So basically, the entire suit didnt really crush him, it was mostly the ripcage piecing his chest along with the neck probably strangling him and the face mechanics piercing alot of his flesh in the head just making him bleed out really slowly
This happily debunks the thought of Williams eyes being pushed out because of the Spring Bonnie eyes I figured that the eyes couldn't possibly be in there
The reason all the springlocks went off when Charlie turned only one is because of: Blood. Blood is moist. It sets off the springlocks as blood splatters all around them.
In essence, here's how a Springlock Suit works: - A common misconception is that the Springlocks power the Suit, it makes the Robots actually move, which is how the Bite of 83 happened (the springlocks triggered at an exact moment, leading to the death of the Crying Child). This isn't true - the Springlocks don't power the suit, it just allows the Suit to go from Robot Mode into Suit Mode and vice versa. - Here's where I explain what the Springlocks do. So, in Robot Mode, there are parts such as motors and hydraulic actuators that are binded together. Along with an endoskeleton to hold the suit together (so that the suit doesn't fall apart due to lack of a stable structure), these parts make the Suit work (obviously). The Springlocks don't actually do anything other than bind the parts together. - When coiling these Springlocks into Suit Mode, these Springlocks get retracted into the suit, pulling these robotic and endoskeleton parts outward towards the "shell" of the suit, which allows a performer to fit through the gaps, now that we've made gaps in the suit. - Now, some of you may ask "well, if the Springlocks just bind the parts together, why don't you just use a screw? A screw won't move the robotic parts into the performer on accident." Well, think of it as like this: if some unpaid technician didn't screw in a screw tight enough, then the suit in Robot Mode might fall apart or not work because some parts aren't binded with others tight enough. It's embarrassing to have your robot creation fall apart whilst entertaining a couple of children. The springlocks put pressure on the parts, which always ensure the parts bind with each other together. - And yes, I believe the Bite of 83 happened because of one of these robotic parts: a motor or a Hydralic Actuator. I know that was long but I just wanted to clear up some common misconceptions and some other stuff.
Once you are done with making the suit, I wonder if you'll do some experiments with it, like how much force does it take for the springlocks to fail etc. It would be really interesting to watch in my opinion
You should try to make like a actual animation as like a springlock training tape show how to crank up activate/deactivate springlocks and how to climb inside it would be really awesome
I always imagined spring lock suits as 3 different parts: the Endoskeleton, the spring locks/exoskeleton, and the suit. I imagine that the springlocks/ exoskeleton would be connected to the suit, and would allow the Endo skeleton to be removed for repairs. The exoskelton would also prevent the Endoskeleton from collapsing under the weight of the suit. I imagine that becuse what else wluld be the point of making a animatronic that can be an animatronic or a suit? Why wouldn't you just make a costume to wear? Anyways, this would also explain why the nightmare Endoskeleton hands on burntraps exist; it's just because that was the old springlock Endo.
The problem I have with the spring lock suit being able to kill people is that there is no practical reason to have springs with that much force, in fact having them with that much spring load would make them heavy and much harder to switch states
Technofur probably says this in video, but to preempt that part of the video, the Bite of '83 occurred when Fredbear was in Performer Mode, so there isn't really a chance that it was a springlock failure specifically. Intentionally overpowered pneumatic devices in the jaws, perhaps, but it almost certainly wasn't a springlock failure. Now, back to the video.
I like to think William cut corners, making the spring suits more dangerous, but if done right, they don't pose a threat, even if they aren't maintained
If I can, suggest a few things. First, the colored and glitchy text is hard to read, as is the font. There's also not enough time to read the long paragraphs. You could use a robot reader for future videos to help that out.
I have an interesting theory, the springlocks in the springlock suits were meant to grab onto your limbs and hold on tight, if the springlocks didn't exist then the parts would be floppy and they would disconnect. There are 3 modes on the suit: Stationary, Half stationary and Opened. Opened is the mode that lets the person in and closes it with Half stationary. Stationary is the base mode of a suit, that means if a springlock failure would happen, the mode would always be set to stationary. This also explains Afton's suit, the wires were in poor quality, and there is a possibility that afton either popped a spring from laughing, or a lucky drop of water got in the wires and the springs were set to stationary. by the way, the way a spring lock can only occur, is when something is wrong with the wires. The suits arent as dangerous as you think, the reason why it costs so much is that the wires need to be in good quality, otherwise the company would get a law suit and then all that hard work is gone. They are still dangerous, because dirty water would have been dropped on a wire, it could scratch the wire, or worse, it could set off a failure. Sweat is still EXTREMELY dangerous if you're wearing a suit with poor quality wires. Edit: pls change stationary mode to animatronic mode and half stationary mode to suit mode, thank you.
I have been waiting for this since I first heard of these things back in 2015, it has been a life goal of mine to wear or at the very least see someone wear one of these costumes I cant wait to see the finished product good luck.
I wonder if the springlocks were William's idea...because something tells me that he's the one that made them,lol. And it would also make his death extremely poetic. Killed by the safety hazard,that was his design.
Technically speaking, what we see in the graphic novel about the scarring of the springlocks isn't plausible. Springlocks themselves are locked to hold something in place and when released, they shoot out of the main assembly. The animatronic designs are also not possible with springlocks with this knowledge. In addition, if multiple springlocks were triggered, the animatronic itself would be free-floating in the suit instead of pressed against the operator's body. Unless there is a return spring assembly that the operator has to work their limbs through that pulls the sendoskeleton back towards the walls of the inner arm (which still would do nothing due to tension and physics) it would only cause mild discomfort with the plastic and metal parts instead of said animatronic parts impaling and replacing the operator. Another note, I have been designing a suit for a while, it uses conventional industrial grade springlocks that require a hole for them to go into. If the hole isn't lined up, nothing happens and the inner endoskeletal arm is pushed out of the way. (Compressed Air instead of servos, less room in the suit as well)
With a lot of pain Btw it would have been a nice touch if after the who will be crazy enough to build on you would have put "IT'S ME" glitching on the screen
i think the springlock system is the endoskeleton itself like a matal rod that can separate to two or four part like u cut the metal rod to plus or straight shape and use the handcrank to make space inside the rod that why springtrap leg and other part not even have a bone or muscle part on the suit ( if the springlock failure happened Employees will not die instantly. that means springlock suit is not that tight But William's spring lock suit was old, and no specialist had caused William to bleed to death. that's why springtrap is shaking in fnaf3 trailer because The muscles are still active )
In one of the fazbear frights books we can also see how springlocks fail. The entire endo more or less replaces the bones of the host, spreading the skin around in the suit. It's why you can see William's eyes are replaced with the endo's from the inside and the two rods shooting out from under the eyes.
interesting! I also remember it described the head as feeling encased,like in a serated vise.
I'm not sure the endo eyes replace Afton's eyes tho, it's quite the opposite,the eyes are probably taken out of the suit instead of being held back by the springlocks,hence why his ees in FNaF 3 are veiny,human-like eyes.
@@technofurs On springtrap's model you can see the rings out the eyes and they're extremely large at least to me, the veins I think are cause the endo eyes smashed into the human eyes from the inside out, the fazbear fright story has it were the springlocks are so bad that the only thing that somewhat resembles a human is a limp empty face which is pretty close to Afton's head shape. It's really brutal.
@@titanapd9647 don't forget that scott is really bad at making human model (you can see that clearly on scraptrap) so the corpse of afton in springtrap is probably not accurated
@@SakuraInktale that's true but weirdly enough I think it works for springtrap, because it's not an actual head it allows the weird shape to make it look like the flesh is sagging
@@titanapd9647 true, but i think that if the animatronics eyes try to replace the human eyes it would probably break a little the skull
Simple fix to having springlocks not malfunction, just reverse the way they work. Make it so by default they are in suit mode and you need to wind it up for it to be in animatronic mode, then if it did fail for some reason the animatronic would just go into suit mode and collapse onto the ground, with nobody inside of it.
I think that fazbear entertainment is a bit too sketchy to let the animatronics go limp on stage, they don’t really care about their employees since they leave defenceless in a room with deadly robots walking around
well now i kinda want to make this

IMAGINE HAVING UR NUTS CRUSHED N STUFF. OW
I seriously didn’t know Springlocks existed IRL and were less dangerous than they are in the Games.
I got a few at home (even got one near me rn) and I can tell,they wouldn't crush you to death. But commonl,these are just used for garage doors and disk readers! They are very common hardware! :)
@@technofurs Interesting.
dawg theyre literally those spring door locks what are you talking about
if they clamp down. you die. so they have to more safe than in game.
Well to be fair, in real life a spring lock wouldn’t have the force to crush a person. It’s a spring, and even just from a size point of view, they are powerful enough.
Amazing, the effort that has gone into this is brilliant. I learnt a few things that I didn't know before also, Phone Guy says "Please make sure the Spring Locks are fastened tight, to ensure the animatronic devices remain Fixed."
Thanks a lot! also yes,that seems like what he said :)
@@technofurs anytime man.
@@technofursIf the Bite of 83 is not a springlock failure nor the bite of 87, then what’s the point of that incident?
@@nickytembo4112 bro the bite of 87 is Chris aftons death by his brother (it was an accident)
Bite of 83 not 87
Perfect recreation! This is just how I imagined them.
The whole idea with endo pushed to the back of the suit is the most logical for the springlocks that retain full endo even in suit mode.
To be honest, I believe that springlocks were originally meant to hold “crossbeams and wires”, which, according to Phone Guy, empty suits are full of. However, Scott models have extremely poor consistency, so it’s logical that he made something completely different.
I believe that book springlocks (or endo-less) can hold not only parts that lock on the endo for the stability, but something like additional hydraulic parts, programmable blocks for better AI and so on.
The game springlocks are terrifying and more epic, but books springlocks are how such a mechanism would be made IRL.
Most people seem to think this, hence why in fanmade springlock failure videos you just see crossbeams shooting from the sides of the suit. The idea of the book's springsuits containing AI and hydraulic extensions is actually confirmed!
In The Twisted Ones, Springtrap is said to have superhuman strenght,and outright states that he uses the AI that controls the animatronic's performances to control the Twisted animatronics!
@@technofurs There is a huge problem arising with using “endo in the back” model - you need to somehow retract hip and shoulder joins. This means that the whole endo should be very elastic and have multiple retraction points, connected by additional joints, to push the whole construction in the back part.
About hydraulics and so on - I just assumed it from the real life! I believe that empty suits still have some mechanisms to move the jaws, maybe some ventilation systems, voice changers and so on. We can just assume that speinglock retract all these parts in their appropriate places.
Tbh, I like both variants while drawing Springtrap. The first variant provides you with a horrifying image of bones fused with metal (can’t even imagine the level of pain) with animatronic joints sliding into the real human joints, and the second variant provides a horrifying “iron maiden” imagery. Battington uses it perfectly.
What if the limbs could lenghten and retract,so that it would fit the wearer better while they moved? I tried expermineting with that idea and it seems to kinda be it? The joints are really the hardest part to make wearable, I think.
For the jaws,we know they use pistons (i.e: Fredbear,Springtrap..) tho hydraulics might not be the power system for Springtrap!
voice modules are canon to springlock suits,but only the modern ones (The New Kid tells us that people are creating modernized springlock suits with voide changers)
@@technofurs there are some more springlock shenanigans in the new “Tales From The Pizzaplex” anthology series, and this anthology series seems to take place in the games timeline. In the third book Somniphobia, the second story Pressure gives a lot of information given on how springlock suits work - the springlock suits in that story are likely old and modified, at least as far as I know, but that’s all the spoilers I’m giving you for that story. The Tales From The Pizzaplex series also contains Epilogues that you should read. Tales 4, Submechanophobia, has an Epilogue that provides information that may or may not be related to what we learn in Pressure. Hope this helps!
Edit: Like someone else said, there’s a story in the Fazbear Frights series that focuses on working on a springlock suit. This story is called Together Forever, and it is the third story in Fazbear Frights #10: Friendly Face.
@@technofurs Limbs definitely can, but what would we do with the body itself? Limbs are connected to the joints that are located on the torso, and retractable torso would be the hardest part.
11:36
This is what I believed too.
I never saw this as a Spring-Lock failure cause FredBear wasn’t in suit-mode.
Spring-Lock failure’s happened when the Spring-Lock’s are set back into place or whatever, just reverting back to animatronic-more while an employee is in it.
Springlocks are actually a great idea , because they wouldnt be like how they are in fnaf
they really are, the concept is awesome and very interesting to me. Just as long as the springlocks are safe.. :]
Make sure the springlocks were strongly tight
@@janrafhael2885 that wouldnt be a worry because they wouldnt be fragile like in fnaf , and even if they broke they wouldnt be injured
What if they were sharp enough
@@technofurs 30 years later...
*Some kids playin in abandoned house*
*Find this strange looking suint infront of the long broken camera*
*suddenly, suit is standing and tries to communicate, but cant...*
*Kids running away to their parents and telling them all of this*
FNaF fan parents^ I knew he did it! now I need to see real springtrap out there! Where is the house?
I feel like Scott made spring locks like this to make the story more scary in a weirdly fascinating way because like it was shown at the end if they were real they would be way safer and almost impossible to set off and they probably wouldn’t do any harm mainly because there would be safety so if they do break loose then the pressure wont be enough to stab into you, most likely just fit perfectly like a watch on your wrist.
I find it kind of funny how, years after the animatronic pizzeria craze, a random game developer invented a mascot suit concept that would've completely revolutionized the niche if it had existed at the time, only to be used in his spooky little bear games
I hope that you can get a full suit going, seeing springlock technology fully realized would be a genuinely incredible thing to witness
Similar suits did exist, they were called Talking Walkarounds! I will make a documentery about these one day. I do agree it can total revolutionize this industry,and I cannot wait to finish these suits!
@@technofurs oh yeah, I know about articulated suits! stuff with robotics inside of them that have robotics inside that can move the mouth and eyelids!
but actual springlocks are like, next level potential for this too, so I'm VERY excited to see where this goes if a working suit can be made :)
I'm glad other people know about this! They are fascinating and I wished more of the fanbase knew they exist. By the way, I am done soon with the springlock mask!
@@technofurs Aw hell yea man, can't wait to see it in action!
@@technofurs i've tried to research this and i've got nothing, can you explain what that is?
This is an amazing video. Always wondered this since fnaf 3, thanks for the visual breakdown! I have also considered 12:11 frequently too, so I'm glad someone else had the same thinking.
Thanks, it's great to see you liked the video! I guess we're both hoping I changed some minds about the bite of '83 ;)
Also, another thing that’s implied by Phone Guy is that it was actually caused by Fredbear finishing his performance and switching to free roam, causing the jaws to close down.
3:46 actally gave me chills, just thinking about how painful that would be is horrable
very interesting approach. I always imagined them in a different way though: I always thought that the springlocks pulled the entire endoskeleton to the back of the suit on the inside, allowing room to climb in. upon a Springlock Failure, the entire endoskeleton would be released and therefore launced inside the body, and so pushing a person's spine forwards and turning their brain into mashed potatoes.
that's a good approach, this is initially what I believed too, and it kinda made sense, tho I wonder, wouldn't it rip the fabric of the suit instead of crushing the wearer ?
@@technofurs yeah, I think so. that makes sense
@TechnoFur its because theres a layer of harder material, probably some sort fiberglass that the fabric covers (its why when even a animatronic has no endoskeleton it keeps it shape.)
@@technofurs I think the actual outside of the suit would be a hard plastic with fabric overtop of it like most cosplays do
You could get injured by spring locks but only if they are designed to do damage
10:25
When Charlotte sets off one spring lock, the person in the suit moves too fast to grab his head and remove the mask, setting off all the arm springlocks, then the body ones. And leg ones. Imagine that happening to you, jeeze.
That is a fair point but I always saw as the vibration of one going of causing the rest to fail also the blood probably would help escalate the situation
Geez I new some stuff about the springlock suits but this really opened my eyes to the full thing! I didn't realise how many spring locks were in each area!. Great video and I can't wait to see more from you (300th subscriber!)
congrats on the 300th subscriber! I'm glad I could help you understand more,and yeah,there are quite a lot of them ;)
@@technofurs its no wonder how William or any of the other (supposed) springlock victims couldn't get out, because I had thought it was just a few massive locks holding everything away from the body but jeez
Real life springlocks would easily be much less dangerous since we have modern tech, since the FNAF games that include them take place a long time ago.
explains faulty wires animatronics that rot or break easily etc.
The interesting thing is that since the springlock suits were made in the late 70's or early 80's ( i dont believe its specified so its safe to assume this time frame) it makes perfect sense that they would be delicate, Most novel technology of that time was. So its quite interesting to see how well that lines up with actual history of technology like this
This is great! It's super informative and gives me a great look into springlocks. I've been wanting to build a springlock suit for a while and this really helps! Your channel in general is also really good. You're way under-rated.

Please don't murder 5 kids in it
@@alanlowstuter9698I'll make my own, AND NO ONE CAN STOP ME... from making the suits
a few years later (5 kids was killed and no one knows where, and how, but the new pizzeria that copied a few locations from a game named " Freddy Faz bears pizza ") now we know what happened.
This probably the best explanation of the springlocks and is very detailed. Especially combining with the Fazbear Frights story and the game makes even better. I always wondered how it would would work. 👍
Well, I have a guess. As I understood from the video, in fact, to ensure the safety of the person inside the suit, it was only necessary to use extension springs, not compression springs. So that the starting position is not the "animatronic" mode, but the "wearable suit" mode. Then, if the malfunction would happened, the endoskeleton would return "up", and not inside the shell. I'd be stunned if it was that easy to solve.
this is actually pretty clever
Fazbear entertainment wouldn't let that happen. An animatronic performing could fail it's locks, going into suit mode. This would ruin the immersion as the suit flopped to the ground while a performance was happening. Fazbear entertainment was so focused on the immersion they made it so that lives were at risk rather than the immersion of customers.
@@Skellybones4903 "if you die, you're fired" - Phone guy from Day shift at freddy's
As someone fascinated by robotics and mechanical design this has been on my mind since 2015
I had always used to think that the plastic outer casings were completely seperate from the endo and to wear the suit youll need to take the endo of. The springlocks would be on the casings and they would fassen the endo for motor ability. That is how its done in the books. Also i did not think that there would be enough space inside to fit both the human and the endo but you already covered that. Incredible work dipicting this could work.
finally someone gets that bite of 83 is not a springlock failure
Agreed
This is something I wanted to see so badly since 2015. Couldn't have asked for a better, more thorough representation of Scott's bizarre brainchild. Worth the wait
Possible answer to what is mentioned between 10:24 and 10:30 I simply think the reason it seams to be one spring lock triggers all is that it's actually triggering one to initiate pain on the user and because the user is likely to reflex from the pain the erratic movement then trigger's the rest.
As for the bite of 83 what may have been the cause was his tears not triggering any spring locks but rather shortening any wire/circuits inside leading to malfunction.
i imagine the bite happened because fredbear's machinery was still trying to move the mouth, and after a little bit of struggling because id imagine a skull being crushed would be kinda hard, the jaw clamped down, maybe from a more sudden mouth-closing movement or because the pressure was slightly building up so in turn the bite of 83 happened
(i wrote this comment when i was tired so ignore the edits)
I also think the bite was just pressure building up more and more, plus fredbear's teeth are most likely made out of metal
Interesting video. I liked how the information was presented in a very professional manner. That said, there are some spelling, grammar, and punctuation issues, along with a few malaprops. I also found the text to be cleared too quickly (especially in the trivia sections), and the glitching text made it difficult to read without having to slow the video down. I only comment regarding this as, if you're going to make an audience read this much with no voice over, it ought to be correct. I do appreciate the effort put into the video, though! I did not know that spring locks were actually a real-life thing, so I learned something new!

Thanks! :)
I had a really hard time envisioning how the spring locks worked from the training recording in FNAF 3 so this helped a lot.
The reason people thought the Bite of 83 was a springlock failure is because Scott likes to expand on points in his next game.
Fnaf 2 expanded on the Bite of 87 from Fnaf 1
Fnaf 3 expanded on The Purple Guy (William Afton) from Fnaf 2
So naturally, people expected Fnaf 4 to expand on the “Multiple Simultaneous Springlock Failures” mentioned in Fnaf 3. It didn’t help that the Fnaf 4 mini games were set in the times of Fredbear’s Family Diner.
FNaF 3 is NOT set with Fredbears', it's actually a looong time after FNaF 1. A loooong time because Afton was rotting in the Safe Room of the FNaF 1 location after it was closed, but was released after some people were snooping around for memorabilia for the FNaF 3 location
@@GamesbiteRtDL I never said Fnaf 3 was set with Fredbear’s. I said FNAF 4 was set with Fredbear’s.
I feel the only reason all springlocks activate would mainly be due to the fact they mainly occur in the head region if we are to be generous and say most failures start at the head this would mean the blood would leak downwards activating more and more locks and splashing blood everywhere causing a whole suit failure
well you couldnt be wrong, blood is well moist but also if it starts on the head the most blood would be leaked and potentially cause a full body lock
‘’ what does it feel like being springlocked? ‘’
painful.
"Lets build it! Today we have spring-"
Love the inclusion of the 3d model of how it may possibly work as Ive always wondered how, especially in the feet and hands
I find it funny how phone guy is like the loving mother who's like "now this is how you do it" instead of the vhs like "ADFHGADHBAVHBADGAIUI -ANGRY-"
Imagine years later your suit is in a history museum lol XD
that very thought makes me daydream everydays
im always confused why people say the bite of 83 was a springlock failure, no one wound up the springlocks, no one intended on wearing it, so the springlocks were already deactivated so that just means that the animatronic just crushed the kids skull and had nothing to do with the springlocks
Right? It's performing (so likely opening and closing it's mouth anyways) they put him in when the mouth was open but were too busy laughing to realize the big bear would inevitably have to close it's mouth at some point (and didn't realize the thing could actually hurt anyone).
This video is very well made and underrated
Thanks!
For some reason, the springlock going off always makes me flinch
It is the video that explains in a very graphic way the operation of the springlocks, a doubt it is a very interesting video
I hope the video is recognized
Thanks for the nice words,I hope it helped you understand springlocks better!
@@technofurs yah i say this is pretty accurate
7:40 it's important to mention wear&tear too, you'd have to look after both of the suits where as in the springsuits, you'd only have to look after one.
you may say that the springlocks would cost more to be looked after but since springlocks are really simple, they wouldnt cost that much in retrospect compared to the seperate animatronic and mascot
Great video! learned a lot!
I'd imagine that a safer version of springlocks would put something to block the springlocks from snapping back once locked, so then springlock failures would be impossible
i feel that the springlocks are only dangerous because the spring used to wind up the parts have waaaaaay too much tension...like if they are strong enough to shoot metal rods deep enough into your body to make deep scars, then that's not only dumb and reckless design but its also just impractical... if a crank is already implemented to wind up the springlocks then why not just take the spring out of it and just make the wind up process work like a screw...the parts can be screwed back tightly and then locked for even more safety and when they are no longer being used to be worn, just crank to unscrew metal rods and wiring back into place...
Exactly
Bro this actually made me feel like im watching a training taoe that explains springlocks
Cool analysis 👍 I like how it showed what a springlock failure looks like on the inside
I appreciate it,thanks!
One complaint I had with the tape is that even if Fredbear and Spring Bonnie are the two suits, Phone Guy says Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
What do you mean?
The anatomy of the suit (game version) makes it hard for me to picture how someone would fit in it, the way the ribs are positioned would make the wearers torso be in front of the limbs and head due to the wearers spine leaning up against the suits spine. Another thing that's got me wondering is where would your feet go when the suit is in performer mode? Do you stand on the suits feet?
The novels depiction of spring locks makes more sense anatomically, as having clamps within the mascot that hold onto an endoskeleton is easier to picture.
All in all, this was a very informative video! This is by no means hating on you, Scott's design for the suit just makes it confusing to picture.
Well, looking at the Corpse of Springtrap, you can see why the suit and endoskeleton looks like what it does in the games. If Scott knew how to actually model an accurate human corpse, the suit and endoskeleton would look very different. Scott is a good modeler, but when it comes to humans, we both know that is he starts to face troubles. Springtrap's corpse is the best human model Scott has made by far.
When at the start he said remember to fasten tight I think the operator wanted to kill him instead.
I've gotten a greater understanding of this, thank you so much, please, make more videos like this, we all love it. Also I'm subscribing, just had to point that out
I'm happy you like it :) I'll keep making these for sure!
The info I have gathered of springlocks just doing re-search of springlocks till 2019. It may be a possibility to make one but it will be difficult and will take a lot of time prob if you know how, maybe 1 or 2 months. but if you don't it could take up to 4 years. It can kill, depending on the suit or its weight. It can also be safe, but its difficult to explain I can try from what I have understood by being a Afton and FNaF fan for now 5 or 4 years doing a lot of research due to curiousity: Springlocks may take hundreds of dollars just to afford a body part if its gonna be how its described in wikipedias, websites, videos, games, books etc. It can kill, depending on the weight of the suit and you. If the springlocks are pure metal it can be highly dangerous, but if its metal you have a chance of surviving. If the springlocks are made to lift the weight of the metal suit, it will need a lot of improvement to set the springlocks to the right places and functional. Making a Endo for the animatronic can take up to 800-1000 depending on the animatronic movements and things it can do like running, tail moving (if it has a tail), ear moving etc possible. And in total for a fully functioning springlock suit it can take up to 20000 dollars to make the full animatronic with fully functioning springlocks that go off at the same time. It does kill very slowly and painful if it can kill. it will leave marks on your body forever if you manage to get out of it. And if you die you simply will die. Its not like you will live forever like William Afton because he did some kind of a remnant plan in the game lore. Its not real but lets just hope that it will never happen. And yeah if you do happen to become a full body springlock victim there's no way you can survive, the springlocks are very tight if they all loosen to the skin. They will be so tight that you CANNOT escape death no matter what you do. You will drown to your own blood in full body victim. if its any partial body part you can get the body part amputated and live. but only until its not throat, head, or torso then you cannot survive anymore depending how fast you will get the suit off if its not too late. My info might be wrong but this is just what I have gathered!
0:12 great now I can get my lungs impaled with rusty metal robot parts in real life
interesting video but i do have some notes on it, sorry for the long comment
Hello! Thanks for the comment, I appreciate any critiscism!
Of course this animation is an interpretation and is outdated since the official models have been datamined.
Still, I'd like to respond on a few things!
The rings are too small relative to the arms (and by proxy the wearer) if we compare the model to a human figure. Hence why I made the cage open and close, it makes more sense to me
As for the inner rod, this rod is meant to house the servomechanisms, and it'd be highly unlikely that it'd divide (leaving the various mechanisms open to the air and to the
shock of the springs) instead, I think it just gets coiled back, as said in the training tapes!
Most of the interpretation is based on likelyhood and real-life physics and measurements, to get as close to canon as possible. For the legs and feet, I have no clue for the 'drum' tighs.
I can guess they are a stylization of the tigh motors on each FNaF endo, especially endo-02, and separating it would make sense and not at the same time (servomechanism issue.)
a quick lore reason for Scraptrap's bones is both mere redesign wich happens often in FNaF, but also remnant! In the various books, its healing properties are exposed. I agree for the metal 'gloves', your hand probably just slips in!
Now, onto the real deal breaker: The face endoskeleton. To me, the head definitly isn't meant to be taken out, that'd defeat the purpose of the suit.
But pressure makes it sound like it's supposed to be taken out so **maybey** that's the case, it's just kind of illogic to unwire and unplug the head before wearing it especially since Springtrap still has all the CPUs inside, as proven by his audio mechanics in FNaF 3.
For the neck, that'd make sense for there to be a sort of rod inside the neck, since that follows the traditional structure of a FNaF endo, and the rod is also in the bare endo's model from HW.
That alone should confirm the presence of that rod.
And of course, the ribcage... They couldn't let a human slip in based on proportions, so to me they're meant to expand, rotate, contract, to make space for the wearer.
Plus, in Pressure, weren't they described to shape themselves around the wearer's body? :)
The shoulder probably retract inside the costume given the structure ressembling a piston, and the graphic novels depicting this (not in the animation) Also based on proportions, the hips fit!
I will be honest, I think that the models are of course not as representative of springlocks as the story can describe. The stories are written as to foreshadow and exemplify the horrificdeath while inside the suit, hence the sharp clamps, the details about the metal feeling, etc... While the books and models have different levels of accuracy, I agree the books are more representative! (plus Pressure was an amazing story! ;))
Keep in mind this is a game concept barely explained in 9 years, and hard to work with IRL. There are a LOT of issues with stability in the concept and prototypes by themselves, so of course the way the models could work in-game is still relatively and interpretation !
With that in mind, I hope I cleared well my directions on this animation
Finally, this video was so detailed. This is what I had been looking for thank god and also, I’m definitely gonna be following this project of yours because I want to see where this goes.

That's... What I'm here for.
@@technofurs REFERENCE REFERENCE
Bros about to get chased by 5 ghosts and trapped in a room for 30 years 💀
Can’t wait!
You guys did some insane work there, congrats.
As a machine maintenance mechanic, i have a few things to add:
If they either
1. "Reversed" the springs by shortening or increasing their length so they retracted/stressed in animatronic mode and expanded/not stressed in suit mode (Then adding a need to reengineer mainly the lock system).
2. Reposition the springs to be outwards the endo (Adding a need to reengineer the system even more).
It would always be pushing the system outwards, not inwards, adding safety just in case, even though these things are obviously dramatized as fragile in the series for the sake of lore.
The only thing that would need some repisitioning in both cases would be the wind system that would now work outwards the endo, winding it all inside and not outside.
Btw, cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Do not do these things if you were to wear a spring suit:
•don't kill children and hide from their vengeful spirits
•don't wear the spring suit in a hurry while it's raining
•don't laugh your lungs out if you're wearing this extremely dangerous suits
Lesson learned, don't ever be like Afton :)
But to sing fredbeard moves his mouth which means it's able to do that : open and close
(and if it was hydraulic the tears could have damaged the electronic part which can cause the closing of the mouth) so it was a failure but not the springlock
Baddingtons video of how the suits work seems to be the most realistic version imo despite the minor retcon he had to do
i've been looking for references to draw for AGES, this video is a godsend!!!
I mean. Imagine how horrible it would be getting a bunch of springlocks inside you!? Like luckily people didn't use it to torture cause that is just sick.
So basically, the entire suit didnt really crush him, it was mostly the ripcage piecing his chest along with the neck probably strangling him and the face mechanics piercing alot of his flesh in the head just making him bleed out really slowly
This happily debunks the thought of Williams eyes being pushed out because of the Spring Bonnie eyes I figured that the eyes couldn't possibly be in there
The reason all the springlocks went off when Charlie turned only one is because of:
Blood. Blood is moist. It sets off the springlocks as blood splatters all around them.
Expectation: It's dangerous
Reality: It's safe
In essence, here's how a Springlock Suit works:
- A common misconception is that the Springlocks power the Suit, it makes the Robots actually move, which is how the Bite of 83 happened (the springlocks triggered at an exact moment, leading to the death of the Crying Child). This isn't true - the Springlocks don't power the suit, it just allows the Suit to go from Robot Mode into Suit Mode and vice versa.
- Here's where I explain what the Springlocks do. So, in Robot Mode, there are parts such as motors and hydraulic actuators that are binded together. Along with an endoskeleton to hold the suit together (so that the suit doesn't fall apart due to lack of a stable structure), these parts make the Suit work (obviously). The Springlocks don't actually do anything other than bind the parts together.
- When coiling these Springlocks into Suit Mode, these Springlocks get retracted into the suit, pulling these robotic and endoskeleton parts outward towards the "shell" of the suit, which allows a performer to fit through the gaps, now that we've made gaps in the suit.
- Now, some of you may ask "well, if the Springlocks just bind the parts together, why don't you just use a screw? A screw won't move the robotic parts into the performer on accident." Well, think of it as like this: if some unpaid technician didn't screw in a screw tight enough, then the suit in Robot Mode might fall apart or not work because some parts aren't binded with others tight enough. It's embarrassing to have your robot creation fall apart whilst entertaining a couple of children. The springlocks put pressure on the parts, which always ensure the parts bind with each other together.
- And yes, I believe the Bite of 83 happened because of one of these robotic parts: a motor or a Hydralic Actuator.
I know that was long but I just wanted to clear up some common misconceptions and some other stuff.
Once you are done with making the suit, I wonder if you'll do some experiments with it, like how much force does it take for the springlocks to fail etc. It would be really interesting to watch in my opinion
I will do that!
I'm glad you actually listen to your fans
@@technofurs and not die.. right?… RIGHT?!?
Next thing we know 5 kids go missing in a Chuck-E-Cheese
This video is so well made, so much effort put into it got me hooked real quick, amazing work dude!
Thanks a lot! If you enjoyed this video, I bet you'll love the next ones ;)
You should try to make like a actual animation as like a springlock training tape show how to crank up activate/deactivate springlocks and how to climb inside it would be really awesome
Good idea! ;)
@@technofurs I've never had someone actually reply to my comment nice
that would be nice to see that happen .
This video is an EXTREMELY clever way to introduce a work-in-progress project.
I always imagined spring lock suits as 3 different parts: the Endoskeleton, the spring locks/exoskeleton, and the suit. I imagine that the springlocks/ exoskeleton would be connected to the suit, and would allow the Endo skeleton to be removed for repairs. The exoskelton would also prevent the Endoskeleton from collapsing under the weight of the suit. I imagine that becuse what else wluld be the point of making a animatronic that can be an animatronic or a suit? Why wouldn't you just make a costume to wear? Anyways, this would also explain why the nightmare Endoskeleton hands on burntraps exist; it's just because that was the old springlock Endo.
i still wanna know where the eyes go and how they work, that they not only force through your skull but physically replace your eyes in their sockets
If springlocks are set off by water it would make sense how one springlock failing would lead to a lot because there's water in blood.
Also one setting off would hurt which could cause to jolt setting off way more in the process (and the blood setting off even more)
The problem I have with the spring lock suit being able to kill people is that there is no practical reason to have springs with that much force, in fact having them with that much spring load would make them heavy and much harder to switch states
Great video
Technofur probably says this in video, but to preempt that part of the video, the Bite of '83 occurred when Fredbear was in Performer Mode, so there isn't really a chance that it was a springlock failure specifically. Intentionally overpowered pneumatic devices in the jaws, perhaps, but it almost certainly wasn't a springlock failure. Now, back to the video.
Im highly curious on the physics for it
This person is underrated
I ain't reading allat 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I like to think William cut corners, making the spring suits more dangerous, but if done right, they don't pose a threat, even if they aren't maintained
J'ai hâte
I have the Silver Eyes graphic novel. It's a must read
If I can, suggest a few things. First, the colored and glitchy text is hard to read, as is the font. There's also not enough time to read the long paragraphs. You could use a robot reader for future videos to help that out.
Just pause the vid
I have an interesting theory, the springlocks in the springlock suits were meant to grab onto your limbs and hold on tight, if the springlocks didn't exist then the parts would be floppy and they would disconnect. There are 3 modes on the suit: Stationary, Half stationary and Opened. Opened is the mode that lets the person in and closes it with Half stationary. Stationary is the base mode of a suit, that means if a springlock failure would happen, the mode would always be set to stationary. This also explains Afton's suit, the wires were in poor quality, and there is a possibility that afton either popped a spring from laughing, or a lucky drop of water got in the wires and the springs were set to stationary. by the way, the way a spring lock can only occur, is when something is wrong with the wires. The suits arent as dangerous as you think, the reason why it costs so much is that the wires need to be in good quality, otherwise the company would get a law suit and then all that hard work is gone. They are still dangerous, because dirty water would have been dropped on a wire, it could scratch the wire, or worse, it could set off a failure. Sweat is still EXTREMELY dangerous if you're wearing a suit with poor quality wires.
Edit: pls change stationary mode to animatronic mode and half stationary mode to suit mode, thank you.
I have been waiting for this since I first heard of these things back in 2015, it has been a life goal of mine to wear or at the very least see someone wear one of these costumes I cant wait to see the finished product good luck.
I wonder if the springlocks were William's idea...because something tells me that he's the one that made them,lol. And it would also make his death extremely poetic. Killed by the safety hazard,that was his design.
Seeing the spring snap with sound made me jump a little very well ilustraded the amount of force those things are holding back
Turning off the springlocks ( 3:41 ), scared the h3ll outta me, i felt a shiver when it hung up 💀
Anyways, gained a new sub! ♥️
Amazingly done. I know so much more! I can’t wait to use this knowledge.
For the engineering geniuses William and Henry are painted to be, they sure did make some pretty big screwups
Also also also, when you showed how the spring locks were set off, that’s how I imagine William’s spring lock failure to play out.
Technically speaking, what we see in the graphic novel about the scarring of the springlocks isn't plausible. Springlocks themselves are locked to hold something in place and when released, they shoot out of the main assembly. The animatronic designs are also not possible with springlocks with this knowledge. In addition, if multiple springlocks were triggered, the animatronic itself would be free-floating in the suit instead of pressed against the operator's body. Unless there is a return spring assembly that the operator has to work their limbs through that pulls the sendoskeleton back towards the walls of the inner arm (which still would do nothing due to tension and physics) it would only cause mild discomfort with the plastic and metal parts instead of said animatronic parts impaling and replacing the operator. Another note, I have been designing a suit for a while, it uses conventional industrial grade springlocks that require a hole for them to go into. If the hole isn't lined up, nothing happens and the inner endoskeletal arm is pushed out of the way. (Compressed Air instead of servos, less room in the suit as well)
One single drop of water came into the suit, resulting in a painful death
With a lot of pain
Btw it would have been a nice touch if after the who will be crazy enough to build on you would have put "IT'S ME" glitching on the screen
i think the springlock system is the endoskeleton itself like a matal rod that can separate to two or four part like u cut the metal rod to plus or straight shape and use the handcrank to make space inside the rod that why springtrap leg and other part not even have a bone or muscle part on the suit
( if the springlock failure happened Employees will not die instantly. that means springlock suit is not that tight But William's spring lock suit was old, and no specialist had caused William to bleed to death. that's why springtrap is shaking in fnaf3 trailer because The muscles are still active )
Oh, this is why you attract Springtrap away using sound, very cool video, informative and understandable. Great job!
