Thanks again to RCE for organizing the event, and Mason and Palfly for making the levels. This was a ton of fun and I'm glad I took part! Discord: / discord Here are my other Poly Bridge 2 videos: • Video
I recommend you watch Arglin's video to see how everyone else did: Arglin: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fWMuNrOGE1I.html Watch everyone else's builds here: Bolt986: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P8KYRKHdybc.html Scottfreee3: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-w8wS7rctceo.html Real Civil Engineer: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VOhZtjvFR2I.html Aliensrock: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-04faxhVPb8k.html
Reid captain at 19:35: Omg, I failed so horribly. I got DEAD last. I'm shocked I'm so far behind. Meanwhile, the difference between his time and the second to last time: 0.1 seconds
Darn you for beating me by like, a meter on shotput. XD Awesome work man!! Your hurdle run was probably the most entertaining out of all of us even though it was placed last, should've deducted a second for every flip you made. :P I'll get my video done, eventually... =w=
sorry if this is out of context but SERGALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA MY GOSH SERGAL SERGAL I'M GOING TO HUG YOU ARGLIN YOU FLOOFER sowwy
Just a thing. This isn’t a trebuchet, it’s a catapult. The difference is that trebuchets use weight, while catapults use some kind of tension or pulling, like springs. Edit: I was informed that actually, the difference is that trebuchets have the weight dangling by a string, while catapults always have a solid lever, but may or may not have a weight.
That's not true, trebuchets accelerate the load with a lever and a string giving it a much bigger circle and so, a much bigger lever while a catapult only uses a solid lever to launch the load, but also a simple weight.
i usually never comment on videos and im never interested in construction and things like that, but i recently watched this video and your plane in a car simulator video, they were both so well edited, the voice-overes were accurate and straight to the point, and you are very smart and enjoyable to watch. I just want to say: thank you for making such awesome content, its bizzare how you are charming to the point where you get me interested into a topic i was never interested in before.
@@ReidCaptain I have a question. How many people tried to participate bc RCE said that these were the finals and that there were qualifying rounds so how many ppl were in the qualifying?
found you at like 2am and now I'm subbed. Younger me would've loved you. Was obsessed with these games as a kid. wouldve been an eng. if I didnt suck at math 😂
Lovely example of participating for fun. Maybe if you did a similar thing again would be fun to show some shots of the other participant's designs as well. :)
I think you guys shouldn't get the events/stages before the 20 minute timer starts, it'd be more about making the design and less about copying your design over in 20 minutes then
I thought that initially on seeing this video too. Pretty sure RCE went into the events fairly cold; without understanding the challenges and definitely without prior practice. But _then_ I thought, hold on - what's the title of the event? In the real Olympics, do you think the competitors turn up with no idea what they'll have to do? Without have spent years, sometimes decades honing their specific skill to perfection? What I'd like to see instead is a Polyunseenchallenge event!
@@Varksterable this is something i'd never think about but its a really good point - people have years to prepare when competing for real, so it makes sense to be able prepare as much as someone wants beforehand
I find it pretty funny how he at first didnt realise that putting "colide with everything" made the shape tangle up in springs and thats why it didnt launch at qll
Besiege idea: A human! Basic things like move arms. Doesnt even have to be standing/walking can just be sitting In a chair. then like can move arms, breath, maybe even sorta "talk" (lip movement)
Commented video 3. Please make a explosive powered engine in Scrap Mechanic! I want to know if you can do it, because i tried and it didnt work... And also, glad you enjoyed the event!
1:45 and eventually you realized that your weight was colliding with the nodes of your spring, which were stripping it out of your basket? Basically you were trying to launch something, but it was trapped inside a cage fixed to the ground, so it was never going to be able to go anywhere.
not sure if I'm explaining this right becaus I'm wicked tired but -- here goes For an optimal 'ramp' like the one you used in the jumping one to get the flags, try a right angle ... but with this formula Center stick would be exactly 45/2 degrees from the start/end points, where as the start/end points are 45 degrees apart. Anyway, you would use 8 to 16 sticks with a sin(stick/2) which would make it start strong, smoothly even out the angles when near the middle, and then thrust the rest of the way until its exactly 90 degrees r/overthinking probably but yeh, also I probably just confused the sh* out of people lol Also I think its sin(stick/pi) or sin(stick/4) but meh
None of the people in this competition seem to understand lever force 😭 you keep puttin springs on but you never just give yourself a long arm, on either side of the fulcrum!
Sorry to be that person but "A trebuchet is a specific version of the catapult that uses a counterweight to create the force to fling an object from a sling at the end of a pole. *All trebuchets are catapults, but not all catapults are trebuchets*" Even if it was a true trebuchet, it's a catapult So yes you're right but I'm righter
For the weightlifting part, using a spiderweb design is fundamentally flawed, as it is consisted of squares in compression. Do you ever see a spiderweb in compression in the wild? Rhetorical question, you do not because as soon as a web experiences inward force it collapses.
