Can I Program a Robot to Swim Faster Than a Human?

10:04 this editor goes to above and beyond for us to understand no wonder he got hired

Swimming Fun Fact: The breaststroke is the oldest recorded* swimming stroke, dating back to the Stone Age. Depictions of the breaststroke can be found in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.

10:04 the fact the editor used perhapskis is hilarious

10:04 bro give a rise to the editor man!!! He search the topic, tells us what ScrapMan got wrong, EDITS THE VIDEO IN A WAY THAT IS REALLY GOOD, and animates!!!! This man is not a editor, its an angel! Pls ScrapMan, preserve this man. This man needs protection.

Freestyle is an Olympic swimming event in which the swimmers can use any swimming style, so they all choose front crawl because it's the fastest.

Now the editor is perhapskis getting in on making that word a thing. Yay!

As a swimmer, you can try to improve it by doing a common rule for beginners swimming freestyle is 'high elbow' to distinguish it from backstroke. High elbow means the elbow is the highest part of the body once the arm is out the water. You almost got it when you put a servo on the elbow, but the angle isn't high enough. If I show the final product swimming to some of my friends from my swimming club, I think they would say it's backstroke. Update: 4 of my 5 friends said backstroke, the other one said freestyle.

The editing in this is amazing

multiplayer idea: kinda late 1-Minute, 10-Minute, 30-Minute Dogfight or Race - You have 1 minute to build your initial vehicle. - After that, you get 10 minutes to upgrade your build. - Finally, you have 30 minutes for a final upgrade. Unlike evolution where you upgrade the winning build, in this format, you have to upgrade your own build throughout the stages.

the arms being so straight makes it look more like a backstroke. 🤣

Combat side stroke actually has been tested, energy output in high preforming professionals is easily repeatable as it is trained daily. When i was screening for special warfare when i was in the navy i would swim for close to an hour a day. 15 mins front crawl, 15 mins breast stroke, 15 mins combat side stroke, 15 mins back stroke. That order is to maintain energy while continuing to swim as i got tired. By the time I was set to screen i was an absolute fish and was putting down crazy fast times with a standard side stroke as well as combat side stroke. The science is real my dude.

Technically the style used in freestyle is called the forward crawl. Freestyle is a reference to the event, where there is no limitations on swimming style. It's just that the forward crawl is really fast, so freestyle winds up being forward crawl.

As a swimmer, when you said “breaststroke is much harder to program” I just thought “you have no idea”

The editor putting perphaskis as a call back from a previous video got me dying laughing 😂

Scrapman: I'm gonna stop saying "perhapskis" it is not a word. His editor: Hold my beer.

Freestyle is a free choice to do whatever you want. Everyone does the front crawl because it is the fastest way to swim. And good job editor on the hip knee ankle! It does act like a whip,

Here is an idea for future multiplayer Monday. How about forklifts? Make a forklift and who can move 3 pallets (one at the time) across racetrack fastest wins. It has to have at least 3 wheels tho. One will have to consider the change in weight balance and speed. If you think this good idea like the comment people. As always love the content!

The annoying thing with toggles is that, as you saw near the end, they must be re-toggled off if you want them to be re-triggered again So, for anyone who's curious, to make a logic block toggle automatically, you can do it really easily with just two logic blocks (using XOR gates as an example): 1) Set an XOR gate to toggle and set the duration to be 1.10. In this example, the desired duration is 1.00 + a small reaction window (0.10) for the second XOR gate to trigger 2) Create second XOR gate and set the delay to 1.00. This delay must be lower than the first gate's duration or else it won't trigger 3) Point both XOR gates at each other and use only the first XOR gate to send signals to other blocks. Do not send any other signals to the second XOR block 4) Trigger the first XOR gate with either its own hotkey or from another incoming signal, it doesn't really matter, just don't send multiple signals to it or else you'll make a mess 5) That's it. Whenever the first XOR gate is activated, the second XOR gate will automatically disable the toggle just before the duration ends, thus allowing the system to reset itself and be ready for another signal every time (as long as you're not mashing keys) Using a 'reaction window' value faster than 0.10 may work (ex: 0.5, 0.2, etc), but I found that 0.10 was the "safe" minimum value for the second XOR gate to trigger due to the logic speed limitations in Trailmakers. Additionally, the second XOR gate does not need any kind of pause or duration, its delay will only be active when the first XOR gate is active, so it's automatic, in that sense. This system is obviously limited to timers, but there's a lot you can do with it if that's all you need (ex: activate/deactivate a motion, fire multiple weapons with incremental delays, all while only using one hotkey)

Amazing job editor! And perphapskis Scrapman is also awasome

That thumbnail is very impressive, looks so realistic. If robots ever threatened swimmers, that's the image on the front page of an article about it.
