Am I the only one who wants to see an epic competition between your spin launcher and Stuff made here's linear accelerator?😂😂😂

I didn’t think I’d be watching two FRISBEE throwing machine videos within 24 hours but here we are lol

So this channel and Stuff Made Here build a disc throwing machine and release a video on it within two days of each other, which also starts with the exact same joke. We truly live in a simulation.

Stuff made here just dropped a new disc golf launcher video. What are the odds. Could be good timing for "we make machines" to make a channel boosting collab.

Well done boys, you should be getting a call from every disc manufacturer out there so we can get some true flight numbers

If the machine is a bit scary, you're doing something right. Cool build! 🥏

You and Stuff Made Here both making really good disc launchers and posting them within a couple days of each other is wild.

Amazing work. Can't wait to re-watch this once a week for the rest of time.

This is the greatest / scariest thing we’ve ever seen 🤯🚀 Well done!!

Great build fellas! Just goes to show how insane David Wiggins Jr's record really is.

Please get one of the high speed drone chasers involved to film the flight!

The inclusion of SMH's recent video at 2:39 was absolute gold. It was funny, and it was a great way to subtly address the timing of similar projects, without making it about the comparison. You guys did great work on this. Keep it up.

Occasionally the algorithm hits right and shows a new video by an awesome smaller channel. Excellent work on the project!

Loved so many things about this, especially "Simon Robotte." 😀

This was SICK!! Simon sent us here!! 👋

You should definitely have a longer series that shows the designing, prototyping, and building process for us autists, and then this final type of video for the VIEWSSSS.

disc launch battle with @stuffmadehere

pls make a video called “We Made a Robot to Standardize Flight Numbers” so our sport can be better forever!!!

I love the name Simon Robotte.

@stuffmadehere needs to see this and start a battle to make the better machine.

This is exactly what the industry needs to standardize disc flight numbers. Every approved disc should have to be thrown by a machine like this (of course at normal disc golf speeds) and get actual, correct flight numbers for every disc. I would try to get with companies or just throw every disc many many times with that thing and make your own unofficial (official) numbers. Idk, this thing has to have a productive use right?

Wow the amount of effort for this project, all neatly wrapped up in 16 minutes. This channel is going places.

MVP would like a word with you! If we can standardize flights, with a repeatable robot, we can standardize flight numbers, which would significantly improve our sport!

As an avid disc golfer & a Machinist, I thoroughly enjoyed watching this feat of designing, engineering & execution of this machine. Pretty dope guys. Way to go!

What a beast of a machine! The editing and production quality was great. Our launcher won't even come close to those speeds. Next level launch, congrats. You should make a disc stamp with the new launch record.

This is amazing! I think you guys should go to where David threw his world record, at sea level and tons of wind. Really try to test the limits.

What really pushes water out of your laundry is the centrifugal force. The centripetal force keeps your laundry in the drum.

It is so crazy that it took building an insanely high powered machine like this just to beat David's record by ~200ft. Yeah that is a pretty good margin, but for that amount of power I would have expected to easy double the distance a human could achieve. Just shows how absolutely insane David's throw was for a human to break 1000ft. I would hypothesize that you are still leaving distance on the table with this machine thanks to aerodynamic drag on the lightweight discs moving at that high velocity. I would love to see this thing throw a heavier disc, like a machined aluminum one to cut through the air better. A part two where you throw the rulebook out the window, and try to optimize a custom disc for the sole purpose or squeezing maximum performance out of the machine would be awesome to see.

Would love to see a more in depth series with you launching all the different extremely overstable discs. Can you make a Discmania tilt flippy? What about a stego

The time spent on this project shows. The time spent on making this a well digestible video shows. Going back and making the machine repeatable and not self destructive was a fantastic and diligent choice! Can't wait for more.

engineering 🤝 disc golf - LETS GOOOOOO!!!!

Everyone be making disc golf throwing machines out here

Centripetal would be the bending inwards. What you did bending that was centrifugal. The block weight was being forced outward causing the arm to bend. I never heard centripetal until now so I guess I learned something new today lol

I love this project. It is perfect. I have been playing disc golf for about 18 months, but have been a nerd my whole life. Your video came up between a bunch of Jomez and Battlebot videos that I have been watching. I am also an engineer, patent lawyer, bladesmith, and former electrician. You hit all the marks!

I love the video! I would love you even more if you were so kind to include metric units, even just as text when you say it. Thanks!

Isn't it centrifugal force at play here and not centripetal force?

stuff made here just released a new disc golf vid right now, crazy timing

I would love to see how this functions at a regular throwing speed where you could have a controlled environment throwing different discs

I was only a few minutes in and knew this channel is 100% on my permanent radar. The machine work is just pure insanity

"best body armor for shrapnel" hahahaha, glad you all stayed safe, the forces here were no joke!!!

oh cool! i just watch Stuff Made Here's disk golf machine! and now this! this must be a sign, lol!

This is seriously amazing. Can't wait to see more from y'all!

So glad youtube recommended this, I've always enjoyed channels like Stuff Made Here, mark rober, and smarter everyday, where they dive into the physics and engineering. But to see this for disc golf is something I didn't know I needed in my life. 😊❤

If the major disc manufacturers haven't called you yet you should reach out to them. This could finally somewhat normalize flight numbers.

If you get all the kinks worked out, you can market it to disc manufacturers.

I have been waiting for this video since I started playing disc golf 25 years ago.....thanks so much!

Great stuff! You guys can use the tech disc to measure the repeatability of your throw angles and, if shown to be consistent enough, could test similar discs for various manufacturers to compare flight characteristics.

Well, you'll be competing with Stuff Made Here, probably in accuracy, not the speed.

Log-Tech: the future of holding stuff

This is incredible!!! This level of engineering/design would take a large company 6 months and 5 engineers. You guys fully crushed it. I also know how much effort it is to make a good RU-vid video and can't imagine the amount of hours you put into the video in addition to the launcher. Subscribed. Watch out Mark Rober...

As a former ultimate player and current disc golfer, this is amazing! Well done! Subbed.

I've dreamed about a device similar to allow disc manufacturers to test all their disc for more precise flight numbers. Hopefully Innova, MVP, Discraft, Prodigy, DGA etc could help support your efforts.

Just 2 days later, Stuff Made Here also made a frisbee launcher 😅

Nice! Keep making videos! You'll be over 100k soon 😀

I have been waiting for this follow up! Simply amazing!

Now that you got the record done could we jump to the important stuff. Consistency and accuracy. indoors maybe..? who makes the glidiest mids..? i need answers in the form of fpv follow shots.

Stuff Made Here just posted his version. Time to do a battle.

Nice job guys. Love the ridiculous over kill build videos. So cool

This channel is so underrated, keep up the work guys and youll be big one day

As a disc golf nerd, not being given any information about the discs thrown really hurt... Would love to have more throws with more discs shown. Also in case you make another version, this seems to be a "left handed" version of the machine due to the direction it's spinning. Is there any way you can please make a "right handed" version? Final thought, please do a video testing the flight of all the overstable drivers they sent when thrown around 800ish ft❤❤

Please make longer video testing all kind of discs. Discmania Tilt needs to get a comparable "thrower" to find out where the limits of PDGA approved disc are!

Great video, and excellent job with the robot! The algorithm is picking up this video and distributing it worldwide. Of course, we can do the conversion, but a suggestion would be to present measures in units that most of the world can understand.

That's one heck of a Simon Line. Bravo guys. That's insane

You should focus on making a machine that can produce very repeatable results between the 20-70 mph range. Something like this is needed to test/standardize flight numbers, it could also serve as a quality assurance process.

13:44 Copying Simon's second shot on hole 6 from the 3rd round of the JBO this year I see. Nearly flawless!

That was awesome. Love disc golf and had to watch this and it was worth every second. Nice work!

This was actually amazing! Can't wait to see more!

“Your timing was way off…and I’m calling foot-fault too” 🤘😁

Doesn't the radius of the throwing arm affect the spin rate? If i build a machine that moves straight at 200mph, the disc has no spin. In discgolf usually the goal is to move your arm across in a straight line aswell (i know the wrist still rolls). Does it really simulate a throw with such a small radius?

Amazing, and at the same time as the stuff video drop. Both machines are so cool.

I really like the simple design. You choose the length of the arm based on the desired angular velocity, that's brilliant. I'd have simplified the design even further by releasing both the disc and the counter weight, though.

10:30 Shoutouts to the sponsors

I hope this video gets a lot of views. That 10hp motor isnt cheap.

Incredible. Thank you

I'm sure it could be improved but that still shows how crazy the record is when it takes all that from an insane machine to beat it! Great job guys.

Okay so this is faster than the one from Stuff Made Here, sorry for my wrong previous comment!

I need to get in touch with your real estate guy in the metaverse, the new shop looks amazing

I have been playing Disc Golf since 1977, and I would have never thought back then that I would ever see a machine like this, although we often talked about it while playing on the courses.

wow. now that's some good disc golf form

Campgaw!

This Just In: Garage engineers eliminate power grid with frisbee. News at 11.

Awesome! Thanks Tony Tomasino for sharing this!

This is amazing thank you for the countless hours spent to answer the question all disc golfers ask. Can’t someone make a machine that throws discs?

Great video great project! You guys deserve all the success!!

love that you actually followed up. id like to see you do all sorts of disc golf specific testing. like what basket design would be the best but not give you free putts. ones that the chains actually when you hit more than half of them haha or maybe a robot that can test disc flight numbers by throwing perfectly. or a putting robot to see which plastic works best for putting. we stan OTB. get all the good from them

You guys are awesome, what an accomplish! I guess the next step for standardization is to build a field with various wind speeds and directions, and also with adjustable ground with options as uphill, downhill and free moving trees.

The fact that a human was able to throw a disc up to 80% of that machine just shows how powerful a machine our body is.

This was the coolest thing I’ve seen in a while. I’m glad someone finally made something like this that is actually good.

Outstanding! That last throw was super satisfying and gnarly.

What a terrifying machine - great job guys!

This is so awesome, and theres so many more possibilities with this machine. You could do so much for the community. From a testing stand point. Different arm speeds and flights numbers. To seeing what the farthest possible distance is for a human. So cool!

Got my sub. This video is absolutely amazing for a channel with 5k subs. Can't wait to see what comes in the future. Awesome video!

We need more channels like this!

Great project! The way you solved the issue with the whole device vibrating after the launch of the disc was amazing. I always wondered how the people at Project Spinlaunch dealt with this, since they should have to deal with the same issue as well, but so far I never have seen it being adressed in one of their videos. Now it‘s pretty clear they must do something similar to your solution or else their device would get ripped apart pretty quickly.

Please keep it up ive been dying for content exactly like this.

Very well done video. Thank you

wasn't sure you'd beat it, congratulations!

That is terrifying...in the most amazing way

I would love if you could include the metric conversion on screen or something, as imperial units don't help me and I need to go look up everytime.., but the video is awesome, I enjoyed it a lot anyways. Thank you
