When you let Michael Reeves, William Osman & Backyard Scientist build fighting robots at NHRL

I think we go the route of basically making our opponent look like a psychopath if they want to win they're going to have to commit you know a psychological crime this riperoni dude it's hauling ass right now the ludicrous mode is not doesn't do good things but it's fast over all right Peter tell me what you're doing in two words or less uh mental breakdown and we were thinking that we can use we can use the wheel to grind our meat against our opponent like I said that do people talk before they fight all right we we have an hour 20 we have an hour 20 we're doing great I think we want to paint it look at that ping legend that it should be in like that's pretty a legit piece is this carbon fiber carbon fiber n on it something poetic about screwing in a bolt and a ketchup bottle the same time on the same thing get out of my way check it out this is the the hot dog rotisserie cooker so there's a canister stno that's going to go in here we're going to slide a bunch of hot dogs on here and then you put 12 volts into it and 90 RPM 90 RPM everything's welded together so don't blow it up oh [ __ ] you weld yes stop bling gears dude don't worry it only goes one way was scary that gorgeous that mustard ain't going nowhere that mustard ain't going no yes we're going we're going to we're going to take a risk here arming arming so now oh come on don't tease me Michael give it to me okay Michael feed [Music] [Applause] me can you tell us a little bit about soggy Mustang we changed its name to Raw Dog it might not be for long I think you'll be surprised I'm sorry hot sorry the hot dog that's over four pounds of beef on that Ro raw now did that play into the weight class because we have very strict weight rules here we added a couple hot dogs to the robot thank you Michael I met chef chef yes chef yes chef wow good luck uh everybody uh we're all going to need it this is unprecedented here at nhrl must are you ready must are you ready no our Ro is not working 5 4 three here we go two one fight robots fight here we go folks all right Alvin oh has roughed its corner I can hear it revving up oh my goodness there's some drive on soggy Mustang I'm I'm impressed this is one incredible all Beast Bo youing the mustard to your advantage great good okay we are getting the turbine's off can we turn our rotisserie on now full reverse in 3 2 1 full reverse not in the wall anywhere else with the wall I swear to [ __ ] God if you [ __ ] pilot a robot it's hard to tell it looks like sogging Mustang High centered on Alvin here that's that's like yeah we call this the raw dog grind it looks like the majority of Alvin the Chipmunks is not mobile believe it or not that is the [Applause] match oh yeah I'm hungry after that fight you want a hot dog I want a hot dog those dogs are cooking I'm going to put one of those dogs in my mouth so good so hot so dog I think we I I think we go the route since we don't have that much time of psychological of basically making our opponent look like a psychopath mhm no I like that what's the worst thing you could hit with a spinner yeah an orphanage worst like what's sort of the what what would make somebody look bad some sort of memorial for like a like a you know like a really tragic incident we make like a nice full diarama and then it's like it's our art we made it you know to share with the world and if they want to lose that's fine but if they want to win they're going to have to commit you know a psychological crime and it's not our fault you're trying to do something nice yeah we no we're doing something nice are well we're trying if we do the orphanage we do it big like we we Mak can't even see the chassis and it's like a big like frame around it and it's just and we like fill it full of mhm like dolls like pack dolls the only problem I see with all this is we need to get like 100 little dolls in in two hours hey I got a question for you though can you pick up some some kids for us on the way like dolls EXC this back get a specifi c yeah oh some dolls yeah yeah yeah it's like 29 and 3/4 and then make the building like uh 18 deep maybe or 17 18 all right so we're making some windows for the uh the orphanage so look at this here's our building right here so we've got two stories we' got a window right here we're going to select the window and we're going to make a bunch of them so we're going to make a lot of Windows for the kids you know so a really nice orphanage and then do we want to just do we make the pitch of the roof just to to the top uh that looks right it looks fine guess great it's fabulous what's the active weapon though uh psychology spit out I mean there is an active weapon rule so you do have to have your argument ready about why psychologically active that's looking good that's looking good and fragile come on it's going to dry it's going to harden all right you want to paint it yeah let pain it okay I like the Eve that's nice fancy look at it here's our our uh our children's hospital for kids that are recovering quick shake it shake it as I paint no you got to shake it up and down as I paint the bricks I feel like a 3D printer right now or actually a 2d printer the cold helps me spray paint so much faster cuz I'm shivering let's get out of here has anybody heard from will this isn't good we really we have like 45 minutes not we have 35 minutes so they said that uh you know we have to have a weapon but we don't really have a weapon so we're going to go with psychological warfare like they they can't destroy a children's hospital right yeah pretty good oh [Music] fatality next child [Music] Guillotine get in the hole what the what is this in there hey that one head are we fighting you yes oh no oh yeah oh [Music] no they they wouldn't they wouldn't hurt a a children definitely no what's so funny about it Withers are you ready we're ready we're ready we're [Music] ready Rob they wouldn't hurt they wouldn't they wouldn't do it don't you dare don't you dare hit that robot through the front door I think soggy Mustang Andor doctors with borders is eaten its opponent oh it well maybe it's just visitation hours no no are you doing dude now youing around those kids those poor kids hey put her Michael those poids what are they they were going to grow up they were doing into adults it's okay Peter it's [Music] okay the robot we built in 2 hours today is an airbag strapped to a wedge you know like a car airbag when you get a crash and it like comes out to stop your face we're going to do the opposite we're going to cause the crash with the airbag where' you guys get the idea I think someone just said airbags and we're like okay let's do it and then somebody here had airbags I say where did you get an airbag so another competitor so they're going to drive up on top of us and then it's going to go there and we've got single redundancy basically there's a relay attached to the the drive system so we power the drive system up and that is allowing us to disconnect the airbag and then we plug the airbag system in and that also allows us to disconnect the airbag so we can disconnect the airbag twice that way we don't accidentally connect it once you have to purposely connect it twice to detonate which then sends this big like fabric mesh bag out it expands you know up to like a couple feet in diameter it smells really bad and it going to force the top of the robot up which is going to force the robot that's sitting on top of it up through the top of the arena and then through the second floor of the building and then up through the roof this thing's going to [ __ ] [ __ ] up to keep them safe they attach the wires together that way you can't accidentally set them off so robot's on yeah all right arm the airbag airbag is armed the light comes on right there so that means this is working so we want to make sure explode the this is off and when we're finally ready we arm the airbag by plugging it into this I believe you I'm just standing back I'm not plugging in it oh okay okay why not you scared yes so this wire shorts out the positive and the negative so there's there's one two three safety so you see it's going between the red and the black so even if you did accidentally energize it it would just go through the wire instead of through yeah we hope that enough there would be enough of a short in this wire that it wouldn't provide enough power to detonate there this then the last step was to cut this thanks yeah I was like that makes sense but I know that even though there's a resistor there there still is current flowing through there but not enough but not enough is it like a certain it's pretty cause the voltage drop right yeah I don't I mean I don't think any would really flow through there but it might the biggest problem with this robot is that we only get one shot one opportunity knees heavy mom spaghetti spetti never there's robots on the ceiling already it's ours [ __ ] bom B you got to lose your robot to the ceiling spaghetti heavy knees are ready so then this try shoving that corner this gets then shoved up there so that's that is our uh safety uh that's our arm light so when that lights on it's [Music] armed all right this is the one that looks most like stupid [Music] wedge quite a walk let's see something sauce oh it's the Open sauce the Open sauce logo okay his robot is the robot named sus is it sus now they they are walking to the cage about to load in and get ready how did we make it this far I actually I don't know that looks pretty dangerous oh man it's got a pizza cutter on it good thing this isn't a pizza thank God if this was a pizza would be screwed all right these transmitters absolutely cannot be touched yep taped up and off Kevin guard these with life airbag taped down we go cutting on wire are you ready yeah I think no yeah we're ready the match in cage 4 will begin in 5 4 3 2 one fight robot fight so you just did you do that us really going for the super cool huge explosion that was our secret weapon our secret weapon didn't do anything quick scoop that up scoop that up and and you got to shove it shove it in his in the spinner you got you got to clog [Applause] him oh it's spinning it's going to start no back up back up no go go [Applause] go yeah 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 one [Applause] woohooo there we go it's cold still oh sorry chef
