one note: i think the only reason most the vehicles failed "great hill" is because you favoured speed over torque, even though irl off-road vehicles are all about torque
All those vehicles are great, but can we also admire this landscape sculpting and reinforcment with simple yet clever use of bricks? I really do love that Great Hill construction!
I would focus on refining the Tracker model. Maybe add a reinforced stepper component instead of mixing all three in. Tracker was most successful in terms of stability and speed while Stepper proved to be quite adept at traversing rough terrain. Encasing the threads may prove effective in preventing "quicksand" from getting into them and impeding mobility, but that's just a thought. If the test is just figuring out which system is most successful regardless of speed, then using Stepper as a base seems sound enough. As for your question: I would vouch for "Composite"
The design would be improved simply by changing the drive - tracked vehicles should ALWAYS be rear wheel drive because that puts tension on the portion of the vehicle that's below the vehicle, using a switching mechanism to change from rear wheel to front wheel instead of changing motor direction for forward/reverse would be ideal
The tracked vehicle would've passed the great hill test had you put roadwheels on it and a track tension adjuster If you look at a tank, you'll see several kinds of wheels on it. There's the drive sprocket, either at the very back or the front of the tank, and it's the only wheel that's powered by the engine. Then, you have the road wheels. These are the wheels that actually hold up the weight of the tank and distribute the weight of the tank evenly so that 1. it doesnt sink in softer ground, 2. it has maximum traction. After the roadwheels comes the idler wheel, which is usually where track tension is adjusted. Tracks too tight: Lower HP:power ratio and tracks more likely to break. Too loose: teeth on drive sprocket likely to skip and grind on the track. And.the return rollers, which keep the track from hitting the roadwheels as it returns to the drive sprocket. Your tracked vehicle could use a tension adjuster and some roadwheels, and it'll do just fine over just about every obstacle here
i think that Stepper if made the same length as the mixer , or if consist of 3 Stepper modules, it would pass the great hill test. The biggest advantage of the Mixer is the stepper module at the back
If the mixer (aka my favorite one) could actually make it through all the obstacles, it would be an ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! also, I wish it had a mixer to act as a drill at the front of it.
I wonder if the first design would have made it if it had 4 'sleds' instead of 2. Or maybe just 3. The one or two in the center would rotate down just as the outer ones are moving up and prevent it from sliding back.
If they didn't get mixed into a super vehicle, the stepper would be the best choice to use to travel off road, it's slow but will get you places except steep hills
I built the Powerfunctions Bulldozer a while back. It was extremely heavy, yet had absolutely no traction in our yard wherever there was cut weed stubble. The stubble was only about as high as a LEGO brick, but as heavy as that Bulldozer was, it simply couldn't get any traction.
what kind of ungodly creation did you make at the end? that wasn't a combination, that just forced everything together, regardless, great work and I love it. It worked so well, the cliff when the back came off was funny
You made me remember something........... Did you watch Hot Wheels Acceleracers? There are episodes where the pilots find Alien vehicles called "Hyperpods" to overcome some obstacles. Can you recreate those and test them out?
use multiple tracked vehicules like a Hägglunds bv 206 by using this technique there's always one of the connected vehicle which has grip and you can create a real "snake" of vehicule by adding more and more tracked vehicule...powered vehicles
Oh come on, if the combo vehicle passed the great hill test then so did all but the stepper! They all got to the top, it's not their fault the track is weaker than the vehicle.
Are there any ideas about the name of the last model that will better describe its functionality?
I suggest to rename "Mixer" to "MyCatAsksMeWhatI'mDoingWithHerLitterBox" 🙀 🤪
The land-mower? The Frankenstein's centipede?

True but, you still need some power to go off-roading
@@josephj807 hmm, I have been outsmarted by a human, oh how the mighty have fallen
I love how customizable these Lego vehicles are. You can mix and match different parts to create your own unique off-road vehicle.
That’s what legos do
That's what legos do
That's the whole point of legos, those are the best toys you can buy your kids
I think he means all the movement you can do with these plastic pieces
Yeah that's the whole point
The attention to detail in these Lego vehicles is impressive. They look just like real off-road vehicles!
Glad you like them!
Except they fucking dont

We obviously need these built

Like the mk IV British tank?

also for the quicksand, a differential (i think is the name) to allow the stepper and wheels to move while the tracks are blocked would be interesting
Excellent video!
This is a good argument for why we never evolved to have wheels instead of feet...
Compromise become wheel
Are you dense in the head ?
Or because wheels are man made and we aren’t?

Bro got the turkey feed out for this one.
On some tests you didn't upgrade it to pass it but on some you did? Why?
Fun fact: In 0:23, the stuff that he pours in are Guinea pig treats.
That is why a caterpillar type of movement was chosen for tanks and all-terrain vehicles. And the test "Great hill" must be driven at low speeds.
The mixer looks like something out of a sifi movie
These Lego vehicles are amazing! It's incredible how well they can handle these obstacles.
They are!
These Lego vehicles are so much fun to watch in action! It's like seeing a real off-road race, but with Lego vehicles
This guy never runs out of mechanical ideas

The attention to detail in this Lego Technic video is incredible! The vehicles look so realistic and the obstacles are challenging.
Thank you very much!
Did an AI write this? 💀
The "Mixer" Lego vehicle is particularly impressive. I can't believe how well it can navigate through tight spaces.😮
I never would have thought that Lego vehicles could handle mud pits and rocky paths like this. I'm definitely impressed.
🤩 The landscapes are stunning! It's like they were filmed in a real off-road course.
And Apollo moonlanding! 😆
🥰
Interesting use of horse feed
The Mixer is what happens when Dr. Seuss is your lead engineer.
The last one reminds me of the pullback technic sets that you could combine into one big car
But heres the stepper. But heres the wheeler. But heres the tracker. But heres the mixer.
“What if I just add larger wheels than the obstacles themselves?🤔”
1:38 I love how it faceplants into the canyon

So it's either the stepper or the mixer... I'd never guessed
In the mixer, Stepper carried them so bad, LOVE STEPPER
The military called, they want their engineer back
I would not count the mixer as passing the great Hill. A third of the machine stayed behind lol
The first one felt very similar to a baby sea turtle trying to leave a beach.
I like your videos
When Mixer breaks in half over the Great hill . . .
Video: "Pass . . . Fail?"
Me: "Pass . . . (Kind of)"
The walker one is just like one from Scrapheap challenge years ago. Ah memories. Annoyingly that episode doesn't appear to be anywhere.
Something out of Cat in the Hat
Amazing designs can be made from Lego pieces. The guys have creative thinking and fantastic ingenuity. I love your Dr.Engine channel.
Glad you like them!
combine the tracks with the walker to get a walker with tracked feet lol
the light brown things from the tests looks like the food of my bunny
Stepper one would be an amazing Bionicle Rahi set!
You managed to combine them in a way that uses all their strengths, really cool 😎
We need to put this in the Lego treadmill
I like how he names the tests, it makes it feel like a video game
Making the pellet scraping doohickey out of technic was just gratuitous. 😀
The mixer is the Frankenstein of Offroad vehicles
The stepper design reminded me of a rescue hero toy I had a kid. It moved in the exact same way, you even reposition the legs
These Lego things is got an umbilical cord like an Evangelion
I know im late but this guy can make an functioning ATAT from star wars out of lego
Satisfying lego click sound
I wonder if the first design would have made it if it had 4 'sleds' instead of 2. Or maybe just 3. The one or two in the center would rotate down just as the outer ones are moving up and prevent it from sliding back.
Amazing job, dudes! Keep going!
Thanks a ton!
They are so cute 😭😭
my cat approves of this video.
This guy makes the best Lego technic vids
Thanks, glad you like it!
If they didn't get mixed into a super vehicle, the stepper would be the best choice to use to travel off road, it's slow but will get you places except steep hills
Nice vid 👏 Love your work
Glad you enjoy it!
I Love That You Added Er To The End
0:17 real footage of what baby’s look on the inside while crawling
The creativity in your videos and experiments is very fun and inspires me to go work on things! Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Make an Ice/Snow runner using the wheels you made at 4:37. Make a 3x3, then 4x4, up to like 10x10 AWD. Test studded tires on ice
The mixer looks like something straight from the military like if you add a tank turret it will become a real tank
absolutely love your work!!!
Thank you so much! Your support means the world to me!
I built the Powerfunctions Bulldozer a while back. It was extremely heavy, yet had absolutely no traction in our yard wherever there was cut weed stubble. The stubble was only about as high as a LEGO brick, but as heavy as that Bulldozer was, it simply couldn't get any traction.
8:07 that's muscle memory
The mixer is a monstrosity
It's kinda like I'm watching the evolution of an animal
Enjoying my dream with your videos.
👍🤗👍👍👍👍
Glad you like them!
@@DrEngine i wish i had that much Lego to play. Even now.
😬😬
The mixer looks like something from Dr Suess
Weird how the stepper stick can correct itself to go up hill in the first place if not ascend.
This is soooo coool!
I wonder if you mounted the battery pack on the uphill side of the vehicle if that would help it climb the Hill
I like the stepper. Very original 👍
YESSSS
The wheeler didnt get as much modifications. Not fair. With a set of extra wheels it could have made it through the needles
what kind of ungodly creation did you make at the end? that wasn't a combination, that just forced everything together, regardless, great work and I love it. It worked so well, the cliff when the back came off was funny
I like the first one cuz is cute
but bro, the last one is just bigger
that isn't comparable
How many pets do you have to have that many wood chips lol
You made me remember something...........
Did you watch Hot Wheels Acceleracers? There are episodes where the pilots find Alien vehicles called "Hyperpods" to overcome some obstacles. Can you recreate those and test them out?
Maybe the stepper could have passed the hill with better friction on the bottom?
Can you build model rover ? Different rover of many terrain
What a contraption at the end! I love how the stepper is just tacked on to the back, like some aftermarket trailer.
The wheeler car sound like dacia sandero 1.2 16v
use multiple tracked vehicules like a Hägglunds bv 206
by using this technique there's always one of the connected vehicle which has grip and you can create a real "snake" of vehicule by adding more and more tracked vehicule...powered vehicles
That car's drivetrain is hideous. Jeez
The stepper could've passed the great hill if you increased the grip under the main body 😭
Yep.
Круто
Your design is so amazing.
Great job.
Keep going. 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Couldn't help but notice the little Warcraft reference to your second terrain test "Thousand Needles" hope I'm not the only one who caught that!
For the Horde!
too good!!!great!!! I will try to imitate you in my channel
Go for it!
the last creation belongs in human centipede
6:26 you gave to much gas which meant it would quickly lose grip and dig a hole
The mixer is just a Dr.Seuss machine
Oh come on, if the combo vehicle passed the great hill test then so did all but the stepper! They all got to the top, it's not their fault the track is weaker than the vehicle.
Thought you were going for the active variable track geometry approach and was interested in how you would accomplish it
good moments asmr !!!
Brilliant! Continue in the same spirit!
Maybe the vehicles would've done better if they all had 3 motors like the last one lol...
Very good ideas of passability. Also implement Tatra technology with a rowing system.
