3 Pole Climbing Lego Robots 

3 Ways to Improve your life: 1) Exercise 2) Eat Healthy 3) Better Tires

Ways to improve nuclear reactor output: - More fissile fuel - Move efficient energy extraction - Better tires

ways to make your computer run smoother: -install a high quality SSD -install more ram -better tires

3 Ways to improve CPU performance: 1- Making Transistors Closer to Eachother 2- Adding More Computing Units 3- Better Tires

The stark contrast of improving the grip with mathematical concepts and just straight up "better tires :)" got a good chuckle out of me haha

Imagine explaining to someone why you're sending lego bricks up their flagpole.

Those spinning ones are intense

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

My takeaway from this is: In case of machine rebellion, hide up on some tree with all the good tires you can carry

Problems that better tires can solve: -Little or no grip -Crappy pole climbing performance -Unstable relationship

that final, more robust design for the circulating climber is absolutely incredible wow... looks like a model of some insanely complicated machine youd see in a scifi movie or like in a particle accelerator or a space station or smth hahah

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.

I didn't expect to get some engineering lessons from a LEGO Technic channel. But then again, it's LEGO Technic.

Ah yes, the Circular Climber. Or as I like to call it, the WEEEEEEE Climber.

(4:12) The sound that the car makes at 10x speed tho XD

I really appreciate his ability to deduce what exactly is going wrong / needs improvement. I'd just be like "it's broken lol"

1960: flying cars! 2021: climbing lego robots.

Robot 3 be like: I live in spain, but the A is silent.

I *love* how freaky and outright ALIEN the third climber's final form looks @7:46 It almost looks like oddly symmetrical broken junk but its SO EFFICIENT

Today, pole-climbing lego robots. Tomorrow, pole-dancing lego robots.

The best thing about this channel are the incremental improvements. Gives you the impression that anything is possible if you take one step at a time, and that failure is simply part of the process.

If this guy was a Physics teacher, I would learn everything he teaches. Imagine the class projects being these Lego projects. Such a fun way to learn

7:07 it sounds like your drink is done

How much I used to play with LEGO, and how much I liked them, especially when the Techincs came out! I'm 42 years old now, but you don't know how much I am inviting you !! Greetings from Italy

What fascinates me is that I'm sure he could already go for an already great prototype but he goes step by step to show why earlier steps in the making wouldn't work

“Lego is for Kids” This man: *university level physics*

That last model was cool man. I believe it could be more affective with thicker tires having a high level of elasticity.

It's interesting that what seems like a convoluted design on the "perfect" pole works much better than others on the more natural imperfect pole.

This channel never fails to amaze me. It's incredible how the simplest tools - plastic, a toy motor and rubber bands (and better tires) - can achieve basically anything by applying knowledge of engineering.

Love this channel. No annoying intro, just straight to interesting content.

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.”

That last clip looked like a bunch of squirrels chasing each other... Lego squirrels

I was already impressed… but the circular design is what convinced me this man is going to get to space with Lego

teacher: "in today's physics class we will calculate the forces for a Lego contraption to climb a flag pole" student: "This has no real world application what so ever". Teacher: "hold my beer"

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.

That Lego man on top of the flag pole deserves some sun glasses.

That first zoom in on the minifig put a huge smile on my face. Thanks for that :)

When the third one starts spinning, you could have put interstellar music and it'd be hilarious

Ways to improve skyscraper stability: 1. Increased supports 2. Stronger material for supports 3. Better tires

Neighbors: "Now he then decided to spy on us from the flagpole with his toys!"

I love how the gravity locking design resembles a scorpion

This is the wildest one yet I think, aside from the gear reduction thing

Also, a third way to deal with centrifugal force on the third design would be to balance the weight more. It wouldn't necessarily make the forces any less (in fact, since the only way I can think to balance the weight would be to ADD more weight to the other segments, it would probably INCREASE the force), but it would make the forces equal in all directions, which might help with the frame strength issues, since it would spread the load.

Me learning some physics laws i have already learnt in school. This man: *You like it or not, you'll keep watching it*

Never clicked a video so fast, really. This is probably one of my favourite channels on RU-vid.

Crazy to think that none of these cool contraptions would've existed if Sir Isaac Newton never invented gravity

Such rigorous engineering, impressive physics knowledge, and evident video production quality and skills. You, my friend, have this down. I'm impressed.

i could watch him for like a million years and still not get bored

I bet you'd DEFINETLY get a strong grip into the tree bark if you replaced the rubber wheels with *saw blades*

Teacher: Why didn’t you turn in your homework? Me: 9:09

That circulating climber reminds me of something you'd have to deal with in an action RPG.

i love the engineering process here

did anyone else notice how each new robot type with a new pole-climbing method was actually orders of magnitude faster than the previous one?

Next episode 2 weeks later: “3 Pole Dancing LEGO Robots”

I always like to imagine lots of little lego men in labcoats, sitting at these massive computers like nasa and going "Activate the device!" and it's just one of those spinny things going up a pole. "Catastrophic Failure" is it falling

Ok so I never payed attention in math and stuff but I learned more from this channel than ever. I’m 29. Thanks.

This guy teaches physics better than my professor lmao

Never thought I would say this, I like watching legos climb trees

I love how the experimentation actually led to it climbing a real flag pole

the third design is so creative though, i never would have thought about it

2:37 it's over Anakin! I have the high ground!

People: I hate studying physics and math. BEC: And what about physics and math with Lego? People: I love physics and math! BEC:. ;)

What a mad lad. I salute all you for doing all this crazy stuff I never knew I needed.

That circulating pole climber is legitimately terrifying

Him now : making a pole climbing machine Him later : look guys I made a fully functioning nuclear power plant

2:35 “I see no god here, other than M E”

a camera on the last pole climber would have been wild

3 ways to be happier: - start working out - talk to people more frequently - better tires

Why would anyone dislike this. They got what they got: 3 climbing bois

When you had the angles and stuff on screen I wasn't expecting it to be so advanced lol .__. Amazing job, you clearly know your stuff :D

dude, you are getting better and better evey time. one of my fav channel on youtube

My heart keeps pounding on the 3rd pole climber test, I really thought with the climber rotating that fast, something would be thrown off, but then I look at the corner of the screen it was sped up 10 times... XD

Love this channel. Version 3 is my favorite. I would have remade V2 into a hexagon orientation instead of the square design, each wheel being a 'corner'.

2:33 Reminded me of the cat meme I see no God up here 𝐎 𝐓 𝐇 𝐄 𝐑 𝐓 𝐇 𝐀 𝐍 𝐌 𝐄

This man just went through everything I learned in AP Physics up till now

Someday, advanced androids are going to look at this video and think these machines were their much simpler ancestors.

Me: *walks back to my base that has villagers not realizing I have bad omen * Pillagers: 4:13

-first robot "this guy run out of ideas, boring, nothing new" -second robot "hmmm cool design with rubbers" -third robot "centrifugal force goes brrrrrr, best channel ever!!!"

Very nice engineering, I enjoyed all the improvements that you did, I can't wait to do things like this.

that third bot is one of the coolest things i’ve seen

I had been thinking about a pole climber for some time for the exact reason of sending up a camera to do time lapses. The only thing that put me off is leaving something stuck up a pole or lamp post these days would probably end up with the police or the bomb squad turning up! Never thought of using lego though :-D This is brilliant.

2:37 that minifigure staring down at us like u mortals

Imagine looking out the window and some dude is climbing your flagpole with a weird spinning lego demon.

Everyone: That's a UFO him: That's flying lego with better *tires.*

You invented a revolutionary machine for guys whos job is climbing tree

I thought legos would never turn to this life, I can’t believe this…

Man the circulating climber was so satisfying and trippy at the same time

When I get engineering classes, ill have to thank this guy.

Wow, Sick!

The third one is very clever. I love it!

I love how the answer for everything on this channel is: “better tires”

This machine is like messing with the strings more than climbing up the pole

Next episode: “Making nail bombs with lego mechanical force”

Really impressive stuff. Definitely my favorite video since the submarines! I hope we get a part 2 with more technical improvement, like it did.

Love these videos! Shows us the trial-n-error methods used to achieving the better model

3 ways to improve your drawings: -practice -criticism -better tires

Great ideas. Three spinning climber is my favorite. Seems most stable.

Every time I think you have done it all with Legos, you find something new to blow my mind with. Keep up the good videos! I also enjoy that I can watch your content muted while in bed.

up until 9 minutes and 46 seconds ago i didn't know i needed a pole climber robot so hard

I played Lego as a kid. every time the robot doesn't work, I got so frustrated I smacked it on the ground. There's something cathartic watching all these problems solved by simple physics
