This was quite the build. The precision of this machine was very impressive and the use of cucumbers was a perfect idea for the resemblance of logs and for the applicable nature of the machine. The fence, playground, and the scene with the tree branches at the end was a nice touch! You did such a good job on this from start to finish. I don't think any factory machine of this sort can top this.

Cucumber is the perfect replacement for wood at this scale, it allows for the realism of a real logging mill, without taking days and burning out motors
You are right, it takes time to cut the cucumber and not to break the tiny saw. You may see that the saw has only one end attached to the lego push mechanism, the other end is in the air. Actual time is about 2.5 minutes for both sides. I had to use 2 motors and slip gear to manage slow speed for sawing and fast for changing position. Thanks for the questiion.

We've reached the peak of human evolution. From this time on, nothing we could possibly achieve could ever surpass this. Behold the great cucumber log house.
Would also like to know! I do however assume that it is manually controlled as it looks like the machine is "touching up" some minor mistakes in a few places of the video. And it would probably take a lot longer to program it to do all of this than to control it manually, if it's purpose only is to be used for a video. Must say that no matter if it is programed or not I enjoyed watching this master piece! :D
I was going to ask the same thing, but this answer got me by surprise. You are one guy? Doing this all alone? This is even more incredible than I imagined! You are the awesome, man! Great work! Congratulations! It is amazing!
Grocery clerk: "Hold on, why do you have 50 cucumbers?" The Brick Wall: "Legos" If you don't think he bought 50 cucumbers, fight me. He used 18 for the house, and I would guess he did a few practice runs to make sure the system works.
Thank you for creating smile on my face this morning at first - and my jaw on the floor a moment later. The precision of the machine is great - and even the speed. I have built some LEGO machines and I know how hard is to get a reasonable speed and precision, limited by the motor power and not so rigid lego pieces joints. I must say, I'd really appreciate a "behind scenes video" of this one! About the crane construction etc. It'd be a great learning material!
I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that this is AUTOMATED. Somehow you automated LEGO! This is absolutely incredible, you’re a genius! This really shows how far technology has come!
This is one of, if not the coolest thing I’ve ever seen on RUclips, the only problem is that the cucumbers will go off eventually lol Fantastic work with this incredibly intricate machine!
See, part of me says that this person has too much time on their hands. But the other part makes me think this must teach you loads about programming and engineering stuff. Like this person must be so clever to invent something like this
About how many 5 by 7 frames do you use in a build like this? 500? 1000? 2000? This channel has been a great inspiration for me in my lego building but the cost of parts has held me back from making anything on a large scale. Do you have recommendations of where I can buy lots of these frames without spending a fortune?
Merry Christmas! As somebody who used to teach Lego engineering camp, I cannot imagine a better thing to make to show people & get them excited about Lego and engineering around Christmas!!! This contraption is boss and I love it!!!
Dude! That's insane! I love the fact that there was no waste, I wouldn't have thought to use the excess from the milling stage as a fence, super creative! How long did it take you to build? And how many pieces roughly? Has to be quite a long time and thousands of pieces!
@@TheBrickWallTeam that's actually less time than I expected. It would take me 3 months just to find the motivation to start building. Very cool build, and keep up the good work! Are you or are you trying to be a mechanical engineer?
this…now this is mechanical engineering at it’s finest. Truly the pinnacle of mechanized construction. We’ve hit the top, no where else to go but back down. Bravo 👏.
Would be a nightmare trying to get the accuracy needed while using only LEGO motors and Mindstorms logic 😱 That's a big arm with significant slack, dealing with inconsistent parameters and poor sensor resolution... Not saying it can't be done, but it's definitely a vastly more complex build 😬 The error correction software needed to counter the relatively poor fit and low rigidity of Lego Technics would itself be a huge undertaking 😅
@@norgeek I. So glad to see you point of view, I think exactly like you. The complexity is above my dream and also not too many viewers will appreciate it .

Amazing! Great planning and execution must have taken some time doing this. Kinda reminds me of one of the techno mods for Minecraft. Can't wait to what is coming up next 👍👍
Amazing job!! I saw in a comment below that it was manually operated by you. Next step would be to add sensors and a small cpu, and implement an automatic mode. Not sure how realistic that is though considering you're working with lego and cucumbers haha
I’m very impressed with the automated processing of the cucumbers to make the house parts. Planning this must have been a lot of work. Am I right thinking that the assembly of the house was manual controlled? There are a few adjustments of the position of the grabber when putting in the drift pins for example and also pushing down the roof at one end that seem to indicate this?
You're correct. They said in another comment that is was manual, not programmed. It would need a pretty complex vision system to be automated, I would think.
@@thomashuber8130 it is so easy to control the arm, it took some practice and the power and weight (it is very tall arm with 3 motors and a battery) of the arm could easily push the pin inside without a predrill holes. Thanks for asking

I mean, there were many other pointers but actually manually controlling everything is really neat. I'd love to see the controls they use
I feel like making it automatic would be much more difficult, but this build is already impressive anyway
Imagine being the time traveler trying to explain to Lego in the 50s that someday their toys will be used to make a house out of cucumbers
I would love to see a short film about that.
Incredibol
I would probably use my time travel to do something else.
I'm sure the Lego executives would be very pleased to hear that
In 50 years from today they will use Lego to build a time traveler.

Balsa wood is actually the proper material...
@@josoffat7649 Balsa would be far harder to cut with Lego motors. It already takes 2 minutes to cut a cuke.
