7 Types of Wheels - 4 Hard Trials - Experiments with Lego Technic  

Any ideas on what other custom wheels would work for Lego vehicles?

If you ever feel useless remember siege strider was included in this video

Should have done a supplemental tug-of-war in loose soil - hard and smooth surface was unfairly biased to rubberized wheels

Characters in Dr Seuss books would roll up in vehicles like these

Milky Way's Tug of War with Golden Grip Snail was BS, his gears were slipping. I call for a re-do with proper gear support

Honestly my favorite was StepMaster Cruiser. Such an interesting build, i am also suprised that he did so well in the challenges!

Golden grip snail fan. But man the beetle made a hard comeback.

9:00 StepMaster turned on Michael Jackson mode.

Making the tracks out of 3d rubber or even just the slices would have been a nice idea and more fair for the tug o war part

I rly liked how the DualTrack Dom came out, it's my personal favorite the extra room on the top might allow for some excellent cabin designs for the crew

If the stepmaster had failed the steps that would have been real embarrassing

Dont think i have ever been so invested in performance comparison of silly lego vehicle competitions.

StepMaster Cruiser won on style alone, I mean, did you SEE that moon walk in the tug-o-war?

The tug of war really just demonstrated the idea that on a flat surface like that, rubber tyres have better grip than other things.

I feel like the stepmaster could be so much more effective with "shoes" in its feet.

I think if beetle bots signature motion was mirrored in it's rear it would have stood a better chance. Definitely a unique concept!

Yup! Looks like we all need a second video, but with all of the vehicles carrying their own battery packs and fully equipped with rubber feet! Especially for the step master. Maybe using boat-shaped feet for the step master. Like, make it flat, but with a very slight boat-shaped curve on the bottom. That would make it comparable to the traction the beetle gets.

Model "Golden Grip Snail" the best and cool! I like it😊

Put some rubber pads on the stepmaster's feet and do the tug of war again.

I absolutely loved the dualtrack domintator design.

My favourite in this one is definitely StepMaster Cruiser! Such an interesting and playful design, working really well, except for grip being low

Needs 6x6 independent suspension per wheel

I'm watching the driver and he isn't even watching the wheels or anything. I think you need more skilled drivers for your cars.

The StepMaster Cruiser is just SO satisfying to watch

Pour one out for the Siege Strider, mad respect, gave it the best it could

I Vote Goldengrip Snail

Altogether, my favorite was the DualTrack Dominator! I also love the Milky Wheel custom; what a great pun.

Could you build a food truck by Lego, please?

"Honey I have a fantasy, if you know what I mean... " "Sorry dear new Dr. Engine video is out"

milky for the win

Watching milky wheel and stepmaster makes me wonder how scaled up versions of that kind of design would work in real life. They just were so good at tackling obstacles. It makes me curious.

This need a second one. Before my vote I want head displacement, wet muddy ground. Water axel high on stone surface, water axel high on muddy bottom, ice flat surface and top speed.

I kind of like the one with the big wheels originally designed for bearings, but with rubber tread it became really cool

Beetle was the only one with an installed battery pack, the weight helps for tug of war

Gonna be honest, StepMaster Cruiser and DualTrack Dominator are tied for the top favorite slot in my book.

I like the Double track dominator or whatever it was called

Be honest, the step master is my favorite because it’s kind of cute. Just add a little face onto it and you basically got yourself a step master pet.

Very interesting, I just think about testing different type for a robot on hostile terrain, like Mars or Moon

This comparison was kinda unfair. 😅. Some had rubberized wheels some didn't. Some had open bellys some hadn't. Especially in the tug of war, the vehicles with rubber easily won vs ones without. Giving the StepMaster rubber shoes, probably would have made him at least 3.rd place.

The tug of war test was too in favor of the rubber wheels because of how smooth and hard it was. A rubber mat would have been better. My favorite will always be treads. They are the ultimate in all terrain movement.

Golden Grip snail, I mean Milky wheel, no wait BeetleBot. Ok Those three, but also the Dual Track Dominator.

you have a 3D printer! This is great. This gives new opportunities, new projects!

Tug of War would have been more fair with a force meter mounted at the same level as the chassis, and all vehicles having rubber traction. Like the 6x6 was being pulled upwards from the back

Technical lego was out of our price range then but years ago me and my friends used to make Meccano tractor pull vehicles so I really relate to this.

if folks from Nasa and Jpl aren't watching this channel they're really missing out on a lot of information

These are so fun to watch.

Milky Wheel milky-wins my vote! The design of the burrs on the back of legs, so subsequent feet can grip them is ingenious!

Golden grip, milky wheel, and stepmaster are the only correct answers. They won at pretty much everything until beetle came back in ToW

I like to imagine the siege striders driver would scream the vehicles name while doubling down how cool it is after every failed challenge

It would’ve been even cooler if you had showed all the vehicles and the terrain and then let us make our predictions before seeing the results. That way it would be more interactive

The golden snail is essentially just a Sherp ATV. No wonder it did well!

9:31, 9:42 - clear influence of tread and surface grip quality

The StepMaster Cruiser has captured my heart; I was rooting for it 200% in every category.

Love the head-to-head type videos!

Beetle Bot finally won one! Good job little fella!

Immediately liked beetlebot. So proud he won the tug of war.

Okay but I love that the big winners were the steampunk-esque wheels like the goldensnail (which was basically gears for wheels) the springy spiral wheels, and the giant stepper, like it honestly gives creative inspiration

here's the "real challenge" we want to see... Dr. Engine vs Brick Experiment Channel

Dr. Suess would be proud of the Step Master

I immediately hit the like button when I saw that light!

I honestly think the dominator could have won the tug of war if it didn't have those things on its tracks

"beat that" *moon walk -stepmaster cruiser-

The stepmaster - a weapon to surpass metal gear.

Deformable and rubbery wins the day.

Goldengrip snail and milkyway are both amazing, they did all challenges and are strong in the tug of war.

there is a reason us humans use tracks for heavy terrain and this was a nice showcase. And these tracks were made out of slippery lego plastic. A proper more grippy material would show true power of this indominable way of transportation!

sometimes im a golden snail sometimes im a seige strider

gear runner 6x6

>Stairway stepmaster: "am i a joke to you"

9:00 SERTIFIED HEEE HEEE MOMENT

Milky Wheel, GoldenGrip Snail and StepMaster Cruiser are clearly the best designs

I think the GG snail is a solid design, it's like a SHERP. The beetle was also a fascinating concept along with the stepmaster! Siege strider may do better with a speed reduction. Such a fun video this makes me want to go invest in a bunch of technic.

In the tug of war, gear runner 6X6 would have destroyed the beetle bot if it had the same grippy wheels.

I feel like the dual track dominator would fare a bit better of the plastic wedges were rubber, since it looked like the DTD lacked grip on the TOW.

surprised how well the steppy fella did. good for it

I think if the skids on the bottom of the Dual Track Dominator were TPU, it would have held on better and beaten Beetle bot.

MilkyWay was my favourite but not by much before GoldenSnail and StepMaster. Tug of war on loose slippery ground would be nice. Stepmaster could use rubberized feet. Also great inspiration for some new Mars rovers

Man the Golden Grip Snail dominated all of em, and then the beetle came along with an amazing comeback! Wow!

The GoldenGrip Snail was actually very good, because it has bigger wheels, it has more space on the ground. The "DualTrack Dominator" could be a lot better if: You added 2 springs in a V shape for each axle, made it a single track, and found a rubber-like surface to attach to the tracks for grip. Basically, make it a tank. - Something completely unrelated, if you added pontoons to the creation (with my addons, of course!) then added a retractable propeller, it's a boat :D - EDIT - offsetting EACH stepmaster's wheels could alter the performance on the steps and hillclimb!

"Milky Wheel" looks like galaxy the Milky Way :)

This video proves that tanks are awesome and should be road legal 👍

You're always so creative with your ideas. I'm always excited to see what you come up with next.

If the DualTrack Dominator had those teeth made of rubber, he would destroy that Golden Snail 8(

Step master cruiser is super cool only slicing in grip so the hill climb I was surprised and the tug o war didn’t expect it to last as long as it did

stepmaster cruiser would actually be genius irl also

I figured that the TPU tires would win.

For tug of wars... need to level playing field of having them same weights... and rubber grips

i love seige strider he is me and I love how hard he tried and against all odds he's still here and his gears didn't slip like milky wheels

Give the "Stepmaster Cruiser" some traction instead of super smooth feet and it'd probably walk over everything in the tug of war. (See what I did there?)

Golden snail grips!

Your work is very impressive! Guys, you are the best!

beetle bot pulls, but does very little else. Cant help but love it.

7:04 I found this satisfying

You can dismantle the so-called "siege strider", it failed every test 😆

Love it! I just wish it had some epic commentary like the Jelle's Marble Olympic guys… 😄

Stair stepper fan

I love these kinds of videos because I can see car designs with their pros and cons and build similar ones in building games.

GoldenGrip Snail definitely won that

I can imagine engineers at NASA doing the same thing in their lab: “Now let’s see if we can fold it up to the size of a postcard and drop it from orbit.”

Dual track fan here. Bro had a cool design AND the mid section moves, it’s just two tanks with a. Rope between them!!
