From the construction techniques, the lv7 Grabber could be a real Lego Technic model. Really, very well and thoughtfully built, like a real Lego Technic set. I couldn't tell any difference when building it
My favourite part of these challenges is how simply it shows engineering concepts for real world stuff. It's really cool seeing how these machines fail and then showing the solution fixes these problems and explains wordlessly why their real-world counterparts are built the way they are.
Exactly, showing how to incrementally improve upon a design as it needs to overcome greater and greater challenges really shows how to think through solving problems through good design!
On real telehandlers they have an extra bar which keeps the forks or grabber park level no matter what the other arms are doing. It's also quite easy to make, just one technic beam and a few connectors for it to pivot.

The level 7 crane/grabber is one of the most sophisticated and compact things I have ever seen made out of legos. Also, its beautiful to look at. Great work man!
If you have Phneumatics try out a Watertank so you can Pump the Water out of the Glass. Then you only have to carry the weight of the Glass and at the end you refill the glas ^^ Would be nice to see
Awesome idea, to add on why not design the challenge where adding water to the machines weight (like a balast or counterweight) is a necessity to accomplish the task. Possibly there is a tight corridor that a large machine would not fit in, but the lifting area is more spacious, a fillable and collapsible counterweight (water bladder) would be really neat.
The use of a pressurized air pump and rubber band to manipulate a technic outline to grip the glass was an ingenious design. 8:35 Now this just looks awesome.
It is very interesting to know how you come up with these models. Is it just because of experience or do you design somewhere? Just shocked at how detailed things you make with Lego.
Your builds proofs that everything is possible with lego. To build anything You want, You only need time to think about problem and a couple of bricks. Good luck in future projects!
amazing video, the v7 lifter is a thing of beauty one suggestion: if you want to build a lifter, use a 4-bar lifter mechanism. That will keep the grabber parallel with the base of the vehicle. If you do need adjustability in the angle of the grabber, you can either replace one of the links with a linear actuator or add it to the end. But if you're just raising/lowering, you don't have to juggle with 2 or 3 different controls to both extend and keep it stable.
would that work when it was going up the ramp though? the vehicle is no longer level so I'd thing that is when you would need the adjustability you mention.
@@brick14 A pantograph is a form of a 4 bar linkage yes, but the added benefit that the 2 pairs of bars are always parallel and two of the bars are extended, so any movement of the "free" joint of the parallelogram is amplified on the extended ends of the bars.
Now, collab with NASA and create a land rover that can be sent to outer space for exploration... jk 😅 This is pure genius. From a simple "glass pusher" to the complex "glass grabber", it was mind blowing how every time you came up with different ideas to tackle a simple obstacle. Keep up the great work!! 👍👍
While it may have been the most unstable, my personal favorite was the crane design :) it’s just something that looks interesting with all the pulleys and strings.
@@egg04 The 3-axis movement was really good on the last one, but the crane design was my favorite as well. Could have done the last level with a crane design, but it would have been a bit more complex. Not sure if the 3-axies or an omega crane is cooler.
Always love all the engineering challenges you present and the methodical steps you take to solve them! Love to see your analysis and problem solving skills from a practical point of view, really helps me learn. Thanks!
You found a very creative solution for a problem noone of us ever had. BUT: As an engineer and Lego fan, I am very impressed with this overengineered, geniously made invention of a forklift!
The only thing missing from the level 7 grabber is some inverse kinematics that would automatically keep the glass level when moving the arm. Anyone up for writing some arduino code?
Wouldn't even need code if you could wire and gear the system to automatically actuate the lifting motor and the "wrist" motor simultaneously at the same rate, which seemed to be what they were doing manually by the end anyway!
I gotta say that despite fierce competition, you may have won the internet for the day. Love the design progression and the single minded pursuit of the goal. Massively impressive build, fascinating to watch the on screen evolution 👍🍺🇬🇧
Not only your ideas seem to be limitless but also ‘giving up’ is not in your dictionary, that makes watching your videos so much fun to look at but especially, interesting.👍👍greetings from Holland 🇳🇱 thanks for sharing this beautiful video with me 🙏
Lego needs to hire this man for cool little Lego Technic challenges. Imagine a set with multiple difficulties where you build the machine for the solution
How do you build these? Are you like an actual engineer? Do you use something like auto CAD to get rough designs? Your ability to engineer this kind of thing is amazing to me.
Wow, watching that A.I. learn its new functions and new techniques to move the glass without spilling is amazing... Now, if only it _was_ a self-learning A.I. that'd be cute😁
This is how the birth of Borg began. They weren't advanced aliens from another dimension, they were us from the future traveling back to the past to begin the technology faster.
This experiment, especially the v7 iteration, is why I wish Lego would add an encoder to the Powered Up line of parts. I know the motors already have it, but I want just a thin standalone encoder. Since there's three active swingarms in this, an encoder on each pivot plus some trig in the control app would ensure that the grabber is always parallel to the chassis. A gyro-accelerometer module would make this even better, as that would ensure that the grabber is parallel to the ground in the event of slopes or uneven terrain, as a encoder-primary gyroaccel-secondary loop. The reason encoders need to exist, other than measuring angles of joints, is because lego gears are just so sloppy with their backlash, having a motor-based encoder doesn't work when you have an entire loose geartrain before the joint you're attempting to measure. Motorized linear actuators would also be nice, but power requirements can get out of hand very quickly, similarly position-locking solenoids would also be interesting but fall under the same power requirement issues; stemming from this, I also want Powered Up downstream hubs, where only the main control hub has app connectivity, not only for extra functionality, but also for extra power, where the data portion can be changed between an actively controlled hub or a passive hub that acts as a splitter if you need multiple devices all performing the same input. Powered Up has so much potential, but Lego isn't really doing much outside the basics. Considering it's been out for long enough for Lego to reasonably expand on its functional parts, I have doubts Lego will actually do much more for it. Lego has always had Mindstorms stuff, but I've always thought that was more of an entry to robotics rather than a serious take on Lego robotics, and considering they're not doing much for Powered UP, which combines Power Functions, Mindstorms, and Education, I doubt Lego will ever take robotics or anything STEAM related all that seriously, even Technic is suffering from ridiculous prices and sets targeted towards a less technical, more casual audience. Bit of a sad state the technical side of Lego is in right now.
A forklift would be the perfect solution to almost all these situations, in fact you nearly nailed it on the head with the lvl 7 challenge in the sense it’s exactly what a reach truck/ forklift is designed for.
imagine if these were life size components so you can build all of this in life size. completely reconfigurable vehicles in the field (as long as you are not under attack trying to assemble it and also it's probably not as durable as a unitary vehicle). DARPA would be proud!
Never have I watched something with such bated breath before as when I watch the last part seeing if water would spill, the glass drop or if the grabbers would open up enough to let the glass go.
I like the last build, it's like a cool industrial robot made for carrying stuff and storing it in high places. Videos like this are the sole reason I still love Lego, it's a timeless invention with almost infinite possibilites.
Some might think that those challenges are random, but when you need to haul anything over 500kg (or even over 200kg) anywhere, you suddenly start to see obstacles everywhere. And over 1T is even worse.
With your divine sense of engineering I have a challenge for you. Probably 2 but you can choose one, plus these are concepts that aren't mess around alot (especially 2) 1. What is the fastest speed a Lego vehicle can go, from what I've heard the fastest speed achieved was 80 kph, but I'm not sure if that's the case, but perhaps you're engineering can get Legos to new speeds... 2. A fix-winged flying vehicle... yessir, a plane. The children has always wanted their plane creations to fly but they always fall and never gain lift, forcing them to construct Lego helicopter or quadcopter designs. Perhaps you can get Lego to new heights. Anyways all that aside, this is really good work! Keep it up man 👍
Absolute Chad energy... Instead of just moving some heavy solid object he decided to move water without spilling a drop. They also risked probably several hundred dollars of lego motors.
These video's always scratch that itch of amazing Lego creations. Personally I would love to see a shredder with different steps of difficulty and improvement!

A simple forklift design may have accomplished the same result there
