Same way I get my parts. It's amazing the things bricklink makes possible, even more so the 3rd party products lego would likely never make like the Buwizz 2.0 (which is what this build uses) and 3.0, Sbrick, the amazing Brickstuff lighting system, the Aquabrixel hydraulic pumps made by Hyact, etc. It pays to be open minded.
This is so impressive, I need to know how you figure this stuff out honestly. Your ability to just see an issue, and come up with the exact fix for that issue on these builds is insane. I couldn’t build half of the mechanisms you do if I tried haha. Keep up the great work!
I love the use of absolutely weaponizing normally underwhelming Lego weapons. Especially with the absolutely menacing noise of that thing revving up. It makes me think of all the other tank possibilities. Mars Mission foam dart array Technic rubber dart array Flick fire missile armageddon Stud shooter / Spring bolt blaster array You could potentially get some Mindstorms parts and make a smart AI tank. Or atleast about as smart as Mindstorms can be, I would love to see the technical challenges overcame and the interesting ways you would circumvent the limitations. I have been thinking about how two brain boxes could communicate, since they arent really meant to directly. Like with two light/camera parts placed against each other flashing messages between the two "hemispheres" of the brain boxes. Or two motors ran into each other, reading their own inputs and translating it into messages. It would get really interesting with several brain boxes, and across generations. Im interested in exploring this myself since I have 2 NXTs and 1 EV3 set. and would love to see how far it can get pushed. It would be really fun to turn it into a game. Have one remote controlled "player", and a Mindstorm tank set to track the player. Probably tracking through color, and give the players vehicle some sort of way to attack the tank.
That would be cool to extend the concept of upgrading existing Lego launchers, we have kanoka, but now, maybe he can do a zamor sphere canon or a way to mecanizing the cordak missile launcher
This could definitely be considered as an upgrade to the card-shooting tank. My suggestion about the feeding mechanism is to have the disc loaded vertically in a horizontal cylinder and then have it slide down into the belt, like a P90 ammo rack. You can try to strengthen the turret connection as well.
I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but LEGO's Mindstorms RCX had a disc shooting robot that was a simpler version of this (in the Ultimate Builders expansion set). I modified it to go on treads as well, so its cool to see that others had that idea!
It looks like your launching wheels are spinning at the same speed (though obviously in opposite directions). If they were turning at different speeds, it would put a spin on the frisbees as they fire, and they might fly straighter and further. (just a thought)
Interesting idea, amazing construction. But what I like most is the way how You do the "speed build". Just click, click, click , move, click. Fast and appealing.
I really like that Lego the whole community a default where any company in the world builds custom bricks that fit with it. Like metal casted stuff or tiny custom motors. It's really impressive when you think about it.
5:44 i don't quite remember what naming you'll find them under, but online you can look for little push-in-hole rubber feet. I bought like 100 pcs some years ago, and i'm 99.9% sure that you can find them to fit inside the holes of the LEGO tracks. Usually for electronics projects, but they can be for a lot of stuff, including the small cap ends (when they don't use balls) for gel pens. Stabilo used to have little mushrooms like that, which spurred me to look for these tiny rubber feet.
I love how the videos start as actual engineering iterations and then devolve into chaos, the egg frying was the perfect end card for this journey
egg frying? you mean deliberate testing procedures
Why engineer anything if you can’t shoot at eggs and take sweet jumps with it
@@panampace aq1qqqqqAQQQAAAqq
No waste
But also a bit sad, as I suspect the cat was already very much hoping for the egg... 😿
I don't know what's more amazing: how you dream this all up, or where you get all the spare parts!
I was thinking the same thing
Lego sets and/or Bricklink probably
actually they aren’t spare parts (atleast i don’t think they are) they are bought from a website individually
😇😊😍
Same way I get my parts. It's amazing the things bricklink makes possible, even more so the 3rd party products lego would likely never make like the Buwizz 2.0 (which is what this build uses) and 3.0, Sbrick, the amazing Brickstuff lighting system, the Aquabrixel hydraulic pumps made by Hyact, etc. It pays to be open minded.
Every video is a treat. Your engineering, editing and humour are all greatly appreciated. I especially enjoy the ASMR segments
Thank you
Oh man those disks! They came with the motorcycle-lookin bionicle precursors. Loads of memories of those things.
I think I recognize Throwbot discs :D Still got the first 8 in their little spaceship boxes in storage
The motorcycle ones came between the disk shooting ones and Bionicle.
And then they brought the disks back for Bionicle at one point.
Two times, in fact: The McDonalds Matoran from 2001 threw discs, and the Metru Matoran from 2004 had disc launchers as well as Toa Vakama that year.
@@rapidemboar4625 You forgot the Vahki, they all came with a disk.
@@Datavore Throwbots? I knew them as Slizers.
Just looked it up, they were called Throwbots in North America and Slizers in the rest of the world.
Endlessly fascinating
Can we just appreciate the effort that gets put into each video? Great stuff!
Ikr it's underrated
I could not agree more man, he is so underrated
My only wish is that he would upload more
@@jaimerthegamer7549 true
no we can't
Every design you put out is incredible. Love pairing your videos with morning coffee.
This is so sick! This takes so much thought and effort. 👌
how true, how true, insanely true for real
The audio quality is always fantastic in these videos.
This what I dreamed of making as a kid. I love it 😍
A day that Brick Technology uploads a video is a good day
I'm kinda sick right now and all I watch is lego, I agree with you
Finally, a weapon to surpass Metal Gear
Till the end of the video I thought "Wow. Simply wow." But then the end got me. Cheers, mate!
The world needs people who never run out of ideas like this guy!
Tank was quite unhappy with the tinfoil test haha. Absolutely beautiful work!
fun fact
that's the same test LEGO themselves use to see if the launcher is a threat to eyes
Thank you for not wasting the egg.
Those clicks when the pieces latch together are so satisfying.
My son sent this to
Me! We did many ‘invention projects ‘ when he was a kid! But nothing like this!! You are a master!!! Thank you!
Made my day!!!
This is why I love Lego. Granted, it's not 100% stock, but so much of it is that this could easily be an official set.
This is so impressive, I need to know how you figure this stuff out honestly. Your ability to just see an issue, and come up with the exact fix for that issue on these builds is insane. I couldn’t build half of the mechanisms you do if I tried haha. Keep up the great work!
My favorite part of all these videos is when his cats come in and try to make sense of whatever this man created
Listen, I only understand a quarter of what’s happening, but the builds are sick and innovative and all-around chaotic. I love it, thanks.
I love that the disc hopper went from not feeding at all, to feeding perfectly and at a decent rate
I love that the egg wasn't wasted. :D
best moment from 0:00 - 8:04 👍
I love the playfulness… I see no eggs were lost in the production of this film.
Throwbots disks! Man what a throwback!
These are the discs from my childhood throwbots. I am happy they had their comeback in a video.
seeing those discs gave me good memories of the old lego technic disc flinger figures, amazing creation and vid!
as a 30 year old guy i find this absolutely amazing! what a beast :)
Finally, a cheap and easy way to properly weaponize all my spare kanoka disks.
Cool cat man. Also loved this build, you're making what all of us wish we could
You should make a behind the scenes video about your design and video production process… that would be so cool!
I love the use of absolutely weaponizing normally underwhelming Lego weapons. Especially with the absolutely menacing noise of that thing revving up.
It makes me think of all the other tank possibilities.

I'm so grateful for your LEGO Technic content. It's always a pleasure to see your new creations. You're an inspiration to me and many other LEGO fans
The actual mechanisms you make in these videos are super cool to see in action. Awesome video :)
Always remember, if there's a problem, increase wheel diameter.
This could definitely be considered as an upgrade to the card-shooting tank.
My suggestion about the feeding mechanism is to have the disc loaded vertically in a horizontal cylinder and then have it slide down into the belt, like a P90 ammo rack.

I thought I recognized that shifter mechanism from the Lambo Sian, that was my first or second really big set I think :)
omg your cat is too precious 🥰
The last bit with the egg :D yep no food wasted. I hope the cat got some too, as royalties for the quest appearance of course.
I do like when the disk are moving, they travelling on the tread haha
Edit: 7:31 he hates that ALUMINUM!
I appreciated the egg being cooked at the end.
I'm not sure if you are aware of this, but LEGO's Mindstorms RCX had a disc shooting robot that was a simpler version of this (in the Ultimate Builders expansion set). I modified it to go on treads as well, so its cool to see that others had that idea!
6:54
This is the mighty DSK-28
It’s suspension is what makes this tank a beast, oh it seems to have broken
Back to the drawing board boys
This is definitely one of my favorite channels on RUclips.
Cutest cat i've ever seen
Your constructions are the most amazing and fascinating Lego ones I've seen.
4:50 “oh no, it’s not working” “don’t worry, I’ll just pop the hood and look inside”
It looks like your launching wheels are spinning at the same speed (though obviously in opposite directions).
If they were turning at different speeds, it would put a spin on the frisbees as they fire, and they might fly straighter and further.
(just a thought)
All I could think about watching this. That's what made old disc firing guns work so well, the spin increases distance and accuracy.
3:47 looks like an endgame boss
Sorry i missed some of your vids but im back, your vids are always really cool 😎 keep going.😎
The cat was adorable
6:46 cat!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL I'VE LOOKED AT THIS FOR FIVE HOURS NOW
No eggs were harmed in this video.
Respect for not wasting food 🙏
Poor cat dint get to eat the egg
raw egg is not good for cats
omg lego slizer disc :( I miss my childhood days. this made me cry
Love for the slizers/ throwbots
oh man so much nostalgia from those classic discs
Love the Throwbots throwback! (No pun intended)
The greatest channel on RUclips....
this seems to be the right way to make a fried egg :D
The cat was the real highlight of the video :3
This is clearly the best thing that's ever been made
Seriously these things need a gopro camera mounted on them to give first person control. Could you imagine a museum room filled with these?
If I was playing with that tank, I would ABSOLUTELY accompany my leisure with the score to The Terminator.
The tank is truly awesome! I need one for when my mother in-law visits.
This thing is freakin intimidating, lordy
Interesting idea, amazing construction. But what I like most is the way how You do the "speed build". Just click, click, click , move, click. Fast and appealing.

From pure designing to silly chaos, perfect.
*Brings this to school LOL*
Nice you didn't waste food
Genius! When the Lego mindstorms jump in in your channel it will so cool to see this badass causing mayhem trough sensors and programming!
7:13 - Hector when he sees Mr Fring
Dude, lego would be making more sales in technic if you were working for them as head of branding and innovation design. So much talent!
I like the tank. Very accurate shooting. Breakfast anyone?
Your videos are frighteningly therapeutic.
Best part starts 7:43
твоя изобретательность повергла меня в шок
Love the use of the Throwbot disks!
I haven't seen those discs in....decades. I remember the old Throwbots. I actually had ALL of them when they came out. Nostalgia hitting hard.
I just loved it when he didn't let the egg go to waste.
Love how you even made the egg at the end
awww i miss those old disk throwing robots, i had almost the whole series.
"Mad genuis" comes to mind. Well done.

The egg looks like it's giving a thumbs up at the end. :3
I haven't thought about those bionicle disks in years! Great build!
Epic build
and cat …….
Good LORD 2x Buggy motors and 2x Buwiz motors how on earth is that box not shorting itself out?! Amazing bot hahaha!
It's 2x buwizz 2.0 driving them
the Bionicle fan in me is very happy with this :)
It's a good day when you upload.
Also, your cat is SUPER CUTE! I love that.
Ah, Throwbots. I miss those guys. Those arms of theirs could really throw those disks.
I like watching this stuff when I’m sick
Glad to see you didn't wasted that egg...keep up the good work man!
The egg at end was a nice touch
This is the highest of Lego brick technology!!!!
This is the coolest tank toy ever. And it is an autoloader
Wow... I'm Speechless... THIS IS AWESOME
