Demonstrating pole climbing mechanisms with Lego. All 3 machines are tested against a flagpole that is 8 meters tall, 13 to 8 cm thick, and ropes on the surface. Enjoy!

0:00 pole climber 1: gravity locking
2:49 pole climber 2: rubber-band locking
5:05 pole climber 3: circulating climber
8:32 quick tryout on a tree

    Ways to improve nuclear reactor output: - More fissile fuel - Move efficient energy extraction - Better tires
  • This video truly shows off that efficiency is measured not only in how fast it does the thing you want it to do, but also in how many fewer improvements it needs compared to previous machines used to accomplish the same task
  • @aditya_a
    I really appreciate his ability to deduce what exactly is going wrong / needs improvement. I'd just be like "it's broken lol"
  • The stark contrast of improving the grip with mathematical concepts and just straight up "better tires :)" got a good chuckle out of me haha
  • @aname6025
    ways to make your computer run smoother: -install a high quality SSD -install more ram -better tires
  • I believe the last rotary design can be improved by placing some other weights opposite to the battery or use multiple batteries evenly distributed, to "centralise?" the centre of mass so that the centrifugal force doesn't pull the battery and start the wobble.

    That last clip looked like a bunch of squirrels chasing each other... Lego squirrels
  • @toms2oo8
    Imagine explaining to someone why you're sending lego bricks up their flagpole.
  • @bottlekruiser
    My takeaway from this is: In case of machine rebellion, hide up on some tree with all the good tires you can carry
  • @natedoggraymond
    Such rigorous engineering, impressive physics knowledge, and evident video production quality and skills. You, my friend, have this down. I'm impressed.
  • @NorthEevee
    I didn't expect to get some engineering lessons from a LEGO Technic channel. But then again, it's LEGO Technic.

    I love how you didn’t even bother to remove the rope for the tests.. lol Because whatever Ghost Protocol style mission you’re planning with these robots probably won’t have ideal conditions. I look forward to the day when I see on the news “Mysterious individual stole both KFCs secret recipe and Coca Colas secret recipe and swapped their vaults. Motives are as of yet unclear, but the suspect used some sort of Lego robot army to accompany this very bizarre and nearly impossible goal. Tune in at 7 for the whole story, involving subnautical missions, pole climbing robots and little cars that could traverse any obstacle. You’re not going to want to miss this one.”
  • I feel like the most efficient design would incorporate features from design 2 and 3. The 3 tension-braced pieces seemed to work really well with the bumps of the tree, but the spinning seemed to cause structural issues. So using wheels that go straight up instead of rotating, like in the first and second designs, could improve energy efficiency and also structural stability. What I like about the third design is that it is not necessarily locked within a maximum pole diameter, landing it well to getting over humps and obstacles. But the rotation seemed to only cause problems.
  • @JayAreGee
    Problems that better tires can solve: -Little or no grip -Crappy pole climbing performance -Unstable relationship
  • @UncleRJ
    Ah yes, the Circular Climber. Or as I like to call it, the WEEEEEEE Climber.
  • Love these videos! Shows us the trial-n-error methods used to achieving the better model
  • @ultimatous8295
    Everyone: That's a UFO him: That's flying lego with better tires.
