Very interesting. I will theorise here that because the joints are at 25 degrees angle, instead of 22.5 (Which would be half of 45, or 1/8th of a 360 circle), this is why some movements or positions look like they're not quite straight. But obviously you're limited in what angle you can make by the lego parts themselves.
As this mechanism is used as a thrust vectoring nozzle for a VTOL jet, I guess the 25° ( --> "overbending") are intentional. This gives the aircraft somecontrol authority in every direction when hovering.
I love how it gives off TF3:DOTM driller vibes and how it moves so organically you are truly ahead of your time when you build such amazing creations you've made
good lord.. just when we think you have reach a pinnacle in design something new and amazing comes out... This is beyond cool! I like your use of pips.. will have to remember that one
These crazy contraptions never cease to amaze me. I can't wait to see this as a great ball contraption. It would be awesome if it could pick up the balls and then 'eat' them so they fall through the middle and out the bottom like some sort of worm creature.
Ive known and treasured Legos all my life. Yet I keep being suprised at how rediculously well designed every single Lego piece is and thus allows stuff like this here. Best "Toy" in the history of humanity.
Make it 10 times longer with a claw in the end and 4 units in total, mount them on your back with a custom lego strap around waist. You got then an awesome Doctor Octavius cosplay :D
I can imagine several ways to incorporate this into a GBC Module, but mostly I'm excited to see the amazing way you will do so that I can't even conceive. Amazing work!
Amazing job, both building wise and filming wise. You showcased this build in such an excellent way, and all shots were lined up to the build. Just beautiful!
Interesting structure. It would have been interesting to have all the motors in the base and use universal joints or CVT joints to run all the parts. That would allow unlimited movements without thinking about wire twisting.
Such a cool design! The movement is mesmerizing! Would you consider putting in the time to build a sturdy enough 6DOF version or has that endeavor been fruitless already?
A fun thought: add one more module, make it a bit sturdier, carefully account for balance and have batteries, and you’ve got yourself an interesting Slinkybot that, when enclosed with a flexible shell, may work better as a Mars explorer because it can’t get wheels buried in the sand. It may help to change the number of degrees for each segment, and not being constrained to Legos, that’d be easy enough.
Love this! In a lot of industry's you can see robot arms function in a similar way. i.e. transporting things parallel to the ground/the walls, to not bend or deform etc
Brilliant work! It's such a fascinating design. A way of "bending" a joint without having a hinge which gives robots an incredibly wide degree of motion. There are analoguous structures which have evolved in the legs of insects: joints which only contain rotational segments, but appear to bend much like our elbows. It would be pretty odd looking if humans had joints similar to this. Could you imagine how bizarre something as commonplace as _Walking_ would look..!?
OK, so no you make them out of steel and way bigger so it can do the slinky walk remotly. Then give it meatal chewing mouths at both ends that can extend and contract. Then enter it into Battlebots at 500lbs. That would be AWESOME!
One possible way to get 6 going would be to have each joint be geared down further, perhaps with a planetary gear setup in each for more torque without needing different motors, beyond matching the speed of this one.
thats so simple yet so impressive the motors intentionally slow down to more accurately hit the mark right?? i would have KILLED for a set of technic when i was a kid omg i woulda put days Straight into projects lol i for sure would have had a few trucks built
I was always amazed to watch your videos the way you come up with great design and build with lego's. You must be one hell of an Engineer....Hats off keep going...👍👍
This is very cool, I’m amazed you got all the little 1x1 circles for bearings that is really smart. Also this thing looks tripy and wack 10/10 build, nice one man
I like the arm mechanism well thought out. I like how the video was made. I like being able to see it so clearly and completely and then from a new angle and again clearly and completely A Plus thank you excellent
It's really cool to see a machine move so organically... almost as though it's alive.

I’m always amazed at the unique ways you create new and interesting mechanisms. I would’ve never thought to use 1x1 round tiles as bearings!
If lego doesn’t employ this creator, they are making a dramatic oversight.
This tactic has been used in other MOCS before, but it's impressive nonetheless
-It does get used in an official set! The bucket wheel excavator set uses this technique for its turntable.- -See Jarek Myszko's response.
@@lucasbrunner6283 Not true, I have this set in front of me and it uses wedge belt wheels as bearnings :)

Wouldn't it be funny if that's what the sandworm sounds like, only several pitches deeper?

I don't think you know what "ahead of your time" means. This principal has been used for decades at least.

YES
It would also be useful in factories as a way of picking up items and immediately transferring them
@@BurgerSoda lol you should patent that idea...(Industrial robots for pick/place manipulation have been using joints and motion like that for years)
@@ccllvni can’t believe this man created an amazing original mechanism out of lego that hasn’t even been invented yet and he doesn’t even know

Will the cables get all twisted up if you keep rotating the same way or is there a way to prevent that?
I think he marked the joints with triangle stickers(?) for it.
I think it would be possible to splice a slip ring into the ev3 cables which would allow unlimited rotation.
@@wanderer3757 I think the arrows are used for calibration.
Eventually I think. Use a long cables to have enough play in them.
@@Jorazon1 Slip rings can really suck, but for something like this they're okay. A mercury slip ring would be great, but those get pricey.

I have indeed seen fighter jets with this mechanism to achieve VTOL. But I have a slight hunch that we can expect a new GBC module with this…
GBC yes! Or some menacing LEGO death worm ^^
@@HoshikawaHikari I'd expect the latter one!
@@HoshikawaHikari The great Shai-Hulud...

over 10 years on youtube and that is genuinely the coollest/cleverest lego robot I've ever seen, truely remarkable work of design
The second one seems like a great armature for deep-sea diving suits!
its like a air duct joint, but motorized. very neat!
Guys, I think this man may have just created the first Freddy Fazbear arm......
I tried to design one of these a few months ago. Happy to see a version that works!
Look's like Dune's Shai-Hulud Sand worm , great job :D
You could totally use this as a GBC machine. Balls can travel internally once you enclose it properly.
I imagine that wire twisting would eventually become an issue, but it's still very cool.
Yes.... i wonder if the arm were to keep on rotating, how would the cable manage the twisting motion.
@@Simonliew81 slip rings at the joints can be used to prevent this issue

It really is amazing what can be done with Lego nowadays!
What a great build. I could imagine someone using it as part of a GBC 😃
This thing reminds me of the tentacles of "Doctor Octopus". Was I the only one who thought about it?
i did. But his arms are more like flex tubing. And sometimes have ball joints
That’s amazing! Everything down to the round tiles as rollers. Incredible! Great work!
Man, you just blew my mind. I need to build one of these to play with now!
OK, so no you make them out of steel and way bigger so it can do the slinky walk remotly. Then give it meatal chewing mouths at both ends that can extend and contract. Then enter it into Battlebots at 500lbs. That would be AWESOME!

Wow! This is amazing!
the amount of lego bricks (mostly 1x1) this person has is uncanny

Optimus: I’M COMING FOR YOU!!!!!
This is mezmerizing. Thanks for explaining how this is used in jets.
It would make a Great amusement park ride. Just put a platform with seats on top. And a moving bridge for people to get in and out.
Think of the dune sand worm Lego sets that could happen if this was used by Lego.
hello, did you use any tool to calculate reverse kinematic?
Is it possible to damage the cables by twisting them too much in one direction? If yes, how could you mitigate that problem?
This is the best lego project i have seen in a long time. the movement looks so natural. Thank you for sharing this.
This is really cool, but the end segments being off center and hanging off the edge bothered me more than it should have.
is it just me or does this remind you of that one monstrous robot from that one tramsformers movie
You could probably turn that into a dune sand worm
About youtube cooperation
halo
This could make for some amazing camera shots if used as a camera mount
Fun fact, this is how Fighter jets land vertically
Wow! what a great mechanism. The posibilities here are pretty staggering. You are an impressive mechatronics engineer, a new sub
this looks like it could be in a fnaf springlock suit arm
You should put googly eyes on the front to give it some character.
i cant read fast enough for subtitles please use speech if you want to tell us stuff.

its like that gaint worm transformer in the transformers movie
That movement was so satisfying to watch! That was amazing
