Ahhhhh thank you so much! I love the single sensor approach, I would have thought two was the least you could use to make a maze solver! Great video and lovely robot :)
2 would definitely make it smoother :D
@@kANGaming Waiting for a colab now ;)
About 3 days ago I sub to your channel because your the only person who wants to do videos about the logic gate side of scrap mechanic, then all of a sudden Kan does
I sense a collab
@@kANGaming cool
Alternate title aMAZEing roomba
NO PUNS
Oh I thought it was caps shift (happens when my mom leaves caps on)
PUN CITAAYYYY
Alternative* unless you want the title to change back and forth somehow.
No.
Did kan just make a maze solving robot... with tank steering??? He really can’t help but to make a slab with tank steering.
Tbf tank steering lets you turn on the spot
tank steering is key for accuracy
@Flightstuff yes
Tank steering is life
It's not his fault if that is almost always the best solution...
Thank you kan for realizing this underrated youtuber.
The Cyclops: 1 eye 4 neurons. Turns out it's all you need.
Kan: complains a bit about taking the bot too long
Also kan: took the longest route
Omg I can't believe you actually used my suggestion.. I love watching your older logic projects.. thank you so much for this.
lmao
I suggested for Reid to do the computer so when kAN said: ik reid captain is doing a computer and NO THERE IS NO WAY IM DOING THAT I was like yay I'm doing something important
Was looking for this comment
I literally just found Reid Captain and Subscribed to him, and now another youtuber talks about him literally the day after, that is such a coincidence.
dat algorithm puttin in work doe
yeah same thing happened to me
This would have been so much easier if you just had it hug the other wall
Well, it isn't meant to solve that one maze, it's meant to be able to solve all mazes, regardless of dificulty, so it's logical to test it on the harder side
He needs to be in a multiplayer Monday. NOW!
Canadian lol, I’m in Canada
@@simonvutov7575 cringe
Or in the Noob vs Pro vs Programmer.
New Guy vs Professional vs Artificial intelligence
@@Project_VideoGame Sounds good! But still, Noob vs Pro vs Veteran has a nicer ring to it. But I see the appeal of your suggestion.
Can you start doing those community challenges like your autonomous race car or the mars rover landing? Those were really fun to watch
Kan in the beginning- fallow the left.
Kan in the video- fallowing the right.
Good job kan
I've been watching Reid Captain for a while now, it's nice to see him get recognition from a large channel like you!
knowing reid and kan before they met is gonna be a flex now, (i did).
I love it when two youtubers I like start interacting
You do realize telling us you aren't gonna build a computer, makes us want you to build one even more lol
20:16 "It'll get better"
Was that a promise? 'Cause I'd like to see a bot that does a DFS through the entire maze and builds a map of it.
So now my two favorite logic youtubers are colabing, AWSOME!
The whole way through I thought he was gonna say “ha ha of course it is not real. APRIL FOOLS!!!!!!!!!”
"It was just born with less logic gates than everyone else." Hahahaha I'm dying.
I love the process of designing maze robots. Good to see you take a crack at it
You really sounded happy in this video. It cheers me up, you were so excited to talk about Logic Bots and the Reid Captain's creations, I really enjoyed this video
The robot would have eventually gone around the maze and done it again.
"I'll fking do it again"
Torture...
You have taught me so many things that have helped with survival mode. I have only had scrap mechanic for a couple day, but it is so much fun. My piston car uses fingers for the drill/saw like you made, and it works better than expected for my first mining vehicle.
How about making a working torpedo, it would make multiplayer challenges interesting.
They would need 3 things
1. explode on impact
2. would some way to aim them to a target
3. a way to attach them to a boat/sub, while still being easily launchable
If you want the added challenge then give them limited fuel, and after they run out of fuel they should explode.
I'm all in for these logic projects - and even the odd 'in context' tutorials (I used to be a programmer, but I've had a bunch of memory loss thanks to some health issues, and these will really help me get some of these fundamentals back - so huge thanks to you, kAN for doing these👍👍😎🖖)
a thing i would like to see at some point is you rebuilding a modern build using pre logic methods like old days , just to show new players what we had to fight back then and the size difference it results in. im a sucker for mechanical devices instead of logic. so nice to watch old retro systems in action.
"See the wall. Feel the wall. Be the wall" - kAn, 2021
Multiplayer Monday: Automatic Race, making an automatic car to go around a track, no thrusters, and no glitches
I love watching your logic-based creations, like to see More logic-based stuff like the player chasing creations like the car in the block.
I would really like to see you build a Farmbot fighting robot
for the multi part logic series, you could make a keyboard with hammer-able ONLY keys. Could be cool to see a keyboard that displays a word on a logic block screen.
Here's a fun little story: Back in the day when I was playing Logicbots myself, I was having trouble with one of the levels due to a part not working as intended, after I posted it as a bug on the Steam forums the dev (instead of fixing the issue) posted one of Kan's videos and pretty much just said "do what this guy did" and that's how I found the channel!
Thank god for lazy devs I guess.
This gave me strange nostalgia from the times when you used to make racing cubes on live streams. I remember you being one of the first live streams i have ever watched
You should do some mini-tutorials on simple logic stuff like your circular vehicle for NvP that was a series of pistons that pushed the wheel using logic and sensors, or something like your line follower a while back
Ah that brings me back.... I remember submitting a 6 legged walker for the line follower challenge he did a few years back. Never made it to the finals (it was probably the slowest submission), but was funny when he live streamed the submission time trials for the challenge.
It would have worked a little better from a mechanical perspective if the sensor was in line with the axle of the wheel at a 45-60° angle. That way it can turn without colliding as it will pivot around the contact patch if the wheel, where the sensor is located.
A basic computer is actually really simple. All you need are multiple switches, and when you put one input in, the first switch will turn on or off depending on its original state.Then, the other switches would change state half as fast as the one before it. This computer will count in binary. If you know how to, you can put some together to add, subtract, multiply, divide, and ultimately, do what a modern computer does.
18 : 56 You are free, buddy! 😄
Yaaaaay
Ikr
Also congratulations of 1st, beat me by seconds
FINALLY someone gave you a kick to do some more logic, I was hoping this would happen some time!
You could've fixed the issue of getting stuck on the tight hairpin corners by moving the sensor to the very edge of the robot I think.
I dont understand logic, but I do enjoy your videos utilizing logic. Would enjoy watching more of these types of videos
It's interesting seeing two people you're subscribed to find out snout each other
Logic idea: Some robots/sentries that can dodge obstacles while following a "path" (like with paint). Also if they could dodge each other so you can put multiple of them to cover a larger area
I really like your logic stuff, especially the chicken walker in survival. I still need to see the farm.
i def wanna see more logic stuff, perhaps another logic challenge for the community
This robot seems like an accurate simulation of me trying to clean my apartment
0:15
That exact video is the one that got me into watching and playing Scrap Mechanic.
I think an self landing airplane would be interesting
That was a cool idea. And it did solve the maze. Kinda makes me wonder is you could create a sentry for your base. That might be a good episode. Sentry build. Especially if it could run a patrol route.
It would be very cool to see you do a “Targeting computer” for the mortar that you can build in Scrap Mechanic. You aim at the target and the targeting computer will compensate for the range. If Scrap mechanic calculates forward momentum of dropped objects. A Bomb sight like the Norden bomb sight would be cool
I actually did this with mods once. Had a range sensor that would determine the range of the target and then adjust the angle of the mortar automatically. Doing it in vanilla would be possible too but a bit more complicated :D
@@kANGaming i BELIEVE in you, Mr. kAN Gaming sir
Kan you are correct, maze's with the exit along the exterior can be solved that way. The only exception are maze's that change layouts during.
Do a Multiplayer monday like competition with Reid but with logic challanges
Putting the sensor behind the wheel and angling it forward about 15-45 degrees might keep it from getting caught on the corners while keeping the turning tight
I think this series should be called "Logic KANcept"
This was a very fun video, I'd also love to see a self-rearraging maze using logic Kan
I imagine one way would be setting up a large flat base where walls could raise up from or be lowered into the ground with pistons, and then use logic gates and sensors to add more variation to it, either way it would be very complicated.
The problem with that is, the maze has to be solvable. And (I think) that's an NP-Hard problem, meaning it's really, *really* difficult to compute efficiently, as the time to compute goes up exponentially as with the scale of the problem. (In this context, the size of the maze)
You know a very simple change that should help with getting around that corner is to move the sensor to above the wheel.
So basically a Windows 98 screensaver bot. Amazing!
As for logic suggestions, i need a system for a build that's basically a compass. I have tried using a gyro, but it's rather bulky. Are there smaller systems in vanilla Survival that can do that?
My project is basically a waypoint bot. It drives until it sees a marker, then based on color of said marker it should turn 90 degrees left or right (since there are practically no diagonal roads in Survival), then goes until it sees another marker. And while i have built a great waypoint system already, it relies on always 'seeing' the next marker, so they can't be further than 15-20 apart. And at that point, just make it follow a line since it will take less materials to make a line than those special markers. But that's boring because it has been done before. I want to make something that is really 'cheap' to 'program'.
Now that i think of it though, even my existing system could make for a neat forest clear cutter since trees are usually close together.
Put the sensor above the wheel so its exactly on the turning point and then put a constant speed on the wheels with a super fast turning and it will work i think
I've thought about making an arduino lol. Using the modpack though, not trying to make raw logic gate circuits. Memory blocks and number blocks. I got a cpu working that could manage memory and execute instructions and jump around in memory and stuff, and obviously do I/O as well as you care to develop. Fun stuff :) Maybe an offshoot of my making a DOS clone on my graphing calculators back in highschool that used string variables as their disks and executables :P Silliness.
Yessssss, I've been a long-time subscriber of both you and RC, it's so fantastic to see this happening!
Another way to find the right way is to find all the wrong ways.
I love these projects and gameplay videos. Your explanations are awesome, and I just like the challenge you set yourself. Would love to see more
For your survival world in scrap mechanic. Try to create a Self Destruct button somewhere in the treehouse/base so if like 5 red bots get to your base you have a plan b and will destroy them (hopefully) but have some sort of survival start recovery pack that wont get destroyed so you can re-start with some materials with no red bots trying to destroy you.
13:04 I saw that coming from a mile away. I would have added a forwards engine instead of increasing the forward left right bearings that had its own sensor in case it were to run into a wall.
Following walls don’t always work because sometimes if you got a loop following the wrong will get you stuck in the loop
It's can be even more simple: front sensor and side sensor (left, for example)
Back engine moves foward
Left engine moves left backwards
Right engine moves right engine backwards
So if you activate back and left, it pivots on the left wheel
Front sensor activate right and left sensor NOT activate left (of course, if you use right sensor, it activates right and front sensor activate left)
One logic gate, a NOT
Btw, I wanted to make a computer, so if you want to, we can collaborate to make an 8 bits computer (no credits needed, just a copy of it)
You could make a 3D printer with the vacuum pump But you'll need to integrate a support system because you can't place blocks mid-air
Kan here's a idea ,make a 10000 part series on how to make a computer learning robot in scrap mechanic ,just kidding ,but an other ,actually real ,idea: make a series where you (or somebody else) makes a challenge (like make a automated robot that clips up on these stairs (but then way harder of course by for example making the steps different sizes) ,and then giving them a week to build ,then the winner gets a point or something and then just have like a pasive scoreboard after each episode so you know who's the best scrap mechanic nerd ,ehmmm I mean scrap mechanic programmer!
but all jokes aside ,a scrap mechanic week long logic challence could be a good idea ,then of course the winners is the guy who can create the machinism that can get the best average time over 3 runs (so that somebody doesn't get extremely unlucky/lucky and instantly wins/loses because of a glitch)
Make more! I like your logic projects because I learn something from them.
better idea: two bearing mounted sensors aimed sideways, but every 5 seconds, they twitch to the sides ath different intervals and stay there for a second so it detects easier
YES HES BACK TO MAKING LOGIC CREATIONS LESHGOOO LADS
YAY
You should make a tutorial for more advanced logic
He made a few for beginning stuff but there really isn't advanced logic. If u know the basics you can do a lot.
A suggestion that may be fun for you. Build a Rotating watering and planting device for farming. I did one in my survival and it was a bit challenging getting the timing down but was quite enjoyable. =)
A self-flying plane that can take off and land with no pilot would be great! And it would be a good challenge
if there aren't any floating walls on the maze, the keep to one wall trick will find you the exit on any maze regardless of where it is..
Me and my family actually use the wall following concept when we do things like corn mazes
That is really smart actually! I've never thought of using it in real life haha
@@kANGaming no way you actually responded, but yes me and my family always follow the right wall because we know it will eventually lead us out
It would be cool if they added spawnable bots to survival where you could paint them to make them fight for you after clearing a warehouse or something
So devmode survival
@@Donke267 I guess lol but having sentry tape bots seems pretty fun
I think something to fit the game more would be something like an AI module, where you could pair things like driving that work with the AI, and the spud guns hooked up to sensors and different modes toggleable by switches.
it twitches and dances like a lil bumblebee 🐝🐝
You got me back into scrap mechanic creative
Maybe you could try to make a storage robot, like it picks up crates and puts them on shelves
Well, if you want another sort of logic project, you can use the new vacuum pumps to build a maze . . . I've done it in Minecraft, so I expect you can figure out several ways to do that in Scrap Mechanic.
Hey, I can’t say for other people but personally if you built a snak that chased people... it would be amazing
i would suggest just putting the sensor out one block further so its parallel with the wheel, but then lower the range so it pivots instead of snagging
it feels weird seeing kan interested in something and energetic, he usually dead inside 😊
how to solve every non changing maze: keep one hand on the wall and follow it. I think there is no way to build a maze that doesn't change while a player is inside that can not be beaten with this tactic.
Interesting, also seemed like more speed added bigger forward turning circle. I thought you would uave used that when you added the reverse turning so you wouldn't have to watch it so long.
Still, very nice kantent, I enjoyed
2:50 it only works on joint mazes where all walls are connected to the external walls
Have you ever looked as From the Depths? It's a block based building game (like trail makers) that's more focused on vehicles and it's logic and sensor systems have a lot more depth than most other builder games (I think the main exception is Main Assembly). I've really wanted to see what you and the others could do in it, especially for a multiplayer Monday style setup.
Awesome! Now try adding traps!
I think a digitalclock would be a reasonable project
Nice to shake it up and show off your originality to be thought out and not 15 minutes timed. If you were to do a challenge, could you do the apocalypse mad max again bit with different stuff like with bots and new terrain and tanker?
This should be a multiplayer monday
I'm first, if you ignore the 31 comments made before I arrived.
True
I’m fist if you ignore the 61 comments before me
we need more of this
A robot that just wants to pick you lightly
Poke not pick
I've made a simple 3D printer that prints circular 'towers' in Survival, now that the vacuum pumps are in creative it will be much easier to play around with.
Would LOVE to see your take on a 3D printer to auto-build buildings etc.
I'm going to try to get a video of my printer up tomorrow...
All we need to do is get him to record Trash Bash and logic community challenges! :)
Yes back to the logic!
make a ship that uses sensors to follow the shore, maybe include wing mod for some rudders and maybe props
