When does mass production begin? :-)
Same I want to see this things everywhere
EXACTLY what I was thinking.
Got to be a commercial application somewhere.
That's the sad part about it. There isn't really much commercial application for this. It's mostly just cool. Regular forklifts are already really good at lifting and carrying things and the Power Loader doesn't provide enough advantages over them to justify either the extra expense or the extra mechanical complexity it has in comparison.
@@AdamBragg In time, with further refinement to the interface, control could be more intuitive (easier to learn) than a traditional forklift...but in general, yeah, coolness outweighs usefulness on this one. Sadly.
SO awesome to finally see it in action! Incredibly well executed!

@@EelkodeVos whatever helps for insurance claims

Incredible work, Bogdan! And kudos to everyone who helped out too. Even though we knew from the beginning that this wasn't necessarily going to be terribly practical, I'm shocked how usable it looks here. I guess with all that flow and articulation, it's able to make somewhat natural moves, and it looks great in motion! I guess now, though, you need to start the whole thing over on a new design that includes cupholders ;)
And to think that Bogdan was a fan, now he's nerding out in a frickin mech suit. Way to go man
You can tell he was totally nerding out. I would too.

I love how this is not just a prop replica or a flimsy prototype, but is a genuine construction mech that seems almost as dexterous as the one in the film, but stronger! Amazing work.
The one in the film was plywood and plaster,
@@matthewjdouglas6471 No, the one in the film is an actual mech. The prop used to represent it during filming was made of plywood and plaster.
@@bable6314 🤣🤣🤣What???!?! This is a contradiction! And it's hilarious!🤣
So this would be really good in disaster relief, like in hurricanes moving debris, same with tornadoes, and in heavy snowstorms, clearing snow, not to mention it’s use on construction sites, and military installations, or even in port cities in warehouses or moving stuff on and off of ships, such a revolutionary creation brought to fruition!
If you were to do some modifications it could be used for mining I think
@@thatidiotontheinternet341 no, no more carbon emissions please
@@razorwolf2758 well it seems a lot of that comes from the usage of coal, if we were to implement a lot of cleaner energy sources around the globe carbon emissions would be less of an issue, these could range from, solar, wind, nuclear fusion (and fission once we figure that out), hydroelectric power, ect
Sadly it seems like this won’t happen for a while because you know, people don’t really care, especially those in powerful positions
@@thatidiotontheinternet341 I agree, the state of the country is awful, in my state alone, people are still displaced, fighting the federal government for insurance money, many house around my town are still in shambles not to mention the disaster happened almost 3 years ago and since then we’ve had flooding and snow, which is completely unusual for my region, quite frankly the whole government process needs to be stripped down to its bare bones and rebuilt by people who are actually going to get things done “That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it” -Declaration of Independence, we need some serious alteration especially since the past several administrations have done nothing to better out country internally…
I think my favorite part about this whole project is still the fact that the lower section is made out of a real CAT brand mini lifter, so the power loader is legitimately partially made and funded by the real CAT company like it was in the movie XD Can’t get much more real than that
They also provided decals, controls, and the paint
I think when robotics improves a leg upgrade would be fun
@@onlygaming69 Could be done now, but, it's tricky. Maybe with co-operation from Boston Dynamics?

I hope she really does. It would be beyond awesome!
I wish she would have come to operate it
I want to be the joystick if she actually comes
There is no Sigourney there is only Zuul.
@@jacobpeters5458 bro
I want you to make a presentation of the Power Loader to Caterpillar engineers. Would be awesome to se and hear their reactions. As an engineer specializing in industrial robots I am very impressed with how strong and usable it seems to be. It's not just a fancy prop.
Got a few ideas for upgrades: 1. Gentle operation. This power loader is destructive and powerful. It will be interesting to see it do something that isn't destructive easier. Like that egg challenge, or pick up an egg from the ground and put it on a precise place on a table without breaking it. For the extra challenge: do it without someone looking from the side who directs the operator. Operator judgement alone. 2. It seems like it can be tipped off very easily. Maybe more weight at the bottom could help? 3. All terrain mode. Navigating through tougher types of terrain.
I saw the first exoskeleton build video back in like 2015 when James actually said his dream is to build the aliens powerloader... And now here we are, what a journey... I'm proud to be a hacksmith fan.
Cant believe that was 6 years ago
"It is normal when first piloting a Prawn suit to feel a sense of limitless power. Prawn operators receive weeks of training to counteract this phenomenon. You will have to make do with self-discipline." -P.D.A., Subnautica
Woooooo i didn't make that comparison but i was feeling there was something else similar to that... Of course it was the prawn suit!
Well even after finishing both Subnautica and its sequel ... I still didn't overcome this sensation XD
Bogdan could use this advice with those maniacal laughs lmao
nostalgia
when you have a seamoth, you see any kind of leviathan and your first instinct is to run, but with a prawn suit it is much more common to grapple the leviathan to drill it to death
An upgrade I'd like to see is perhaps some sort of sensor(s) on the clamps, so that the Power Loader doesn't crush absolutely everything it grabs. That way it can hold that egg without cracking it, and the next time you go for a coffee run, you can grab the coffee with the Power Loader. Also the side mirrors, and cup holders mentioned in the video, along with perhaps a way to see what's behind you (so you don't run anyone over backing up), and lights, so you can see when it gets dark. Aside from that, you guys did a great job on this, it looks incredible!
on the inside of the claws, you need to install contacts that will close when the load is above 45 pounds, and send weak electricity to the contacts located on the joysticks, and then you can really feel how tightly the claw is compressed
With the right modifications, the Power Loader would be perfect for use in carrying material loads in rock quarries/lumber yard/construction areas; removing road obstructions (wrecked cars, fallen interstate bridges, and fallen trees); and lifting and carrying heavy crates and storage containers. Basically, it's the forklift of the future.
You guys should install pressure sensors on the grippers and have a sort of "fragile" mode to pick things up so you can close the grippers full speed but it would cut power as soon as the pressure sensor read X lbs of force. It would be amazing to see this thing able to catch a football or something without popping it!
You could use haptic feedback. A vibrate motor or something, so you could "feel" when you're gripping an object.
Yes, that way the power loader could have an automatic grip force max that could be adjusted digitally!
you say football. I say egg.
@@jkRatbird I was thinking egg, but that would be a whole process haha. Think about how we catch an egg thrown at us.. the egg hits your hand, then you move your hand backwards dissipating it's momentum so the egg doesn't break. If they could do that on the power loader... I don't even know what I'd do, I'd be geeking out so hard 😂
I would love to see them iterate on the design and make the grabbers more dynamic, maybe even as simple as allowing the tips to move in and out from the main portion they could be more sensitive, like real fingertips are.
A giant paintbrush should be made along with a larger canvas and a self portrait of the powerloader should be attempted
Great idea
Wouldn't that just be a broom?
You could probably install different grip pads for certain tasks such as barbed pads for moving stuff like that 800 lb log. You could have different grip attachment variations. Glad to see the power loader project finally complete!
Effort takes time but the time you spend working on that effort is worth the outcome. Congrats on succeeding in this incredibly enormous project
i want to see a professional heavy equipment operator drive this thing around a ware house and see what the platform can do or at least give it caterpillar to see what they can do with the concept because as far as i am concerned this is the most dexterous fork lift stile platform out there and the rc function is just a bonus
I want to see Sigourney Weaver take this for a spin
Yeah, the only thing I'd worry about is all the hoses in the back bc those are prime for getting snagged and pulled out, but if you could hide those away this thing would be a great construction tool, that is of course, providing that it's economic value outweighs its cost
I wouldnt be surprised if they actually use it in their warehouse instead of their basic forklifts lol
A professional heavy equipment operator wouldn't be any better, because it's unlike anything they've ever driven! Bogdan is already the best pilot for it haha
@@theHacksmith Humor us! Professionals will have a kind of "mechanical proprioception" and experience to let them operate their machines in an uncharacteristically precise manner. Look up some highlights from Best Operator competition at CONEXPO and think about how well the P5000 could do them!

Wow. That was very impressive. And I'm really surprised how this beast is precisely maneuverable and fast in the same time. I think it will interest a ton of companies......
It needs programming to make the claw arms move in tandem when shared handling of a single object so that you can minimize damage to the held object or the arms themselves. Speaking of which that thing is massively durable. I'm still in awe.

I remember seeing the first episode of this in high-school. I was so phsyced to see this project go. And man it did more than go. Congrats on achieving this.
This deserves more recognition. It is not a toy it is real thing ❤️
"What can we do with it?" A valid question. So far, as amazingly cool as it is, the Power Loader is actually pretty limited in it's usage. Due to the type of grippers it has, it's pretty much just an over-engineered forklift. There is little practical advantage in a mech style forklift, regular forklifts are themselves pretty awesome at doing basic lifting and carrying. So... what if the grippers could be removed and replaced with job-specific attachments? A jackhammer? A massive drill? A welding arm? An giant wreaking maul? Perhaps a large chainsaw attachment? With configurable "hands", the Power Loader can be so much more than a forklift with robot arms. You've designed so many degrees of movement, such precision, and such strength into those arms, it's a shame to see it be limited to "pick up object, crush object, put down ruined object".
this
Trueee
No, actually it's very useful in many ways, like removing a wooden log from the road or many other things. In India, it can be used in many activities!
soooo the prawn suit?
Almost all of those attachments already exist for the skid steer loader that they used for the base.
Just the sheer joy in everyone's faces and voices makes this video of destruction incredibly wholesome. much love guys!
I love that it really is just a giant toy. I can't imagine the type of person you'd have to be to NOT just be excited playing with it
Plus the great game olug
It honestly could have some uses in the industry. Kudos!
Randomly popped up in my feed, earned my sub with this build
I'd honestly like to see this be used in a bunch of different work environments. Like construction, mining, or warehouse shippers. I feel like it'd be neat just to see the reactions from people who use forklifts and stuff everyday of their life to use something like this and get their opinions on it.
It would be more useful in concept, but the cost alone would be a huge deterrent. Unless it’s coal, they can afford it
@@memereview305 Not used in practice, just bring it and demo in actual work environments with real people.
@@memereview305 Now that it has been built in reality an engineer or design expert could go over it and see what can be cut or replaced. this was designed to be accurate to a movie prop not to real life usage. I think a version of this could work. Maybe half the size, all electric and hydraulic. A more beefed up but accessible exo work suit kinda. Could honestly see it pretty useful on Naval ships.
@@shaymorcormick8743 i mean, they also did custom build most parts. When something begins mass production, you get casts and a lot of stuff that just drop production cost
Too bad most industries were designed for other tools like forklifts. But I think the Powerloader would be great for clearing debris from places like those after hurricane.
I could honestly see this becoming a commonplace construction machine with some minor modification (longer arms, longer wheel base so it doesn't fall over, protective cover over the cockpit so stuff doesn't just rain down on the driver etc.) because it just seems so strong and versatile.
@Jose Medina Ramirez I was thinking the arms needed to be longer so it could push off the ground to lift the front tracks onto the table. Same was excavators can lift by shoving the bucket into the ground.
Forklifts outperform it in every way. It's a cool novelty, but not mich else
As a super expensive oversized toy it is spot on, but as far as real world functionality is concerned it is completely outclassed by already existing equipment. I can't even think of a niche setting where it would excel.
@@dickthedorkwing6082 the arms are quite dexterous for equipment I have seen, perhaps this thing would be useful in Amazon's warehouses for moving pallets? like change pallets A and B in a normal forklift, you pick up pallet B, put it on the floor, pick up pallet A and place it on the place of B, then pick up B from the floor and put it where A was... with the powerloader, you can hold B in the air, and switch them a bit faster, and remember each second counts for Bezos crew...
I didn’t see it do anything a backhoe with a thumb couldn’t do a lot better. Don’t get me wrong, it’s super cool and impressive for lots of reasons, but I can’t imagine what kind of niche it could serve better than existing equipment.
I cant believe its already been 3 years since the start of this project. This is absolutely amazing
So happy i was here for the entire build
One thing I think you need on this thing is a 'no bend' mode of some kind. In other words, a setting you can switch on that makes it function like it was meant to in the movie, working as a loader, where bending what you're loading would be exceedingly counter productive. So this would probably ensure arm movement, wrist movement and even claw movement don't exceed certain resistance forces potentially damaging whatever you're trying to move. It would be particularly good if it had presents, but also some custom setting so you can dial it way down for your eggs, and dial it way up for combating a queen xenomorph, as you do.
Yeah, a sensor suite, smart align functionality, and active resonance damping would make this thing less liable to wreck whatever it's trying to load/unload.
Totally agree... functionality.
Or you could just have skill XD
All machines like this in the real world from forklifts to cranes to giant mining excavators all have the power to to destroy the stuff they're loading to them selves It's all in operator skill Alolt of people just think of machine operators as a job that you do if you fail at school but its a highly skilled area of work This machine already has the fine control to do the fine work they just have to learn how to drive it Anyway the "real" one in the movie obviously had alot of power to battle the alien So they can't be turning this one down I case they gotta fight some sort of monster
Yeah, destruction is great, but I'd like to see how well it could move pallets full of things.
"Let's go flip a car" is my new favorite catchphrase.
And it even works for five guys and a Smart, like they do in Amsterdam, into the river.
lets go bounce an egg
Wish they hadn't used a black Element specifically though. Beloved childhood family car that was quite reliable. They're not nearly as common as used to be now.
I prefer hey you gimme that toilet
@@thatreallygoodchannel4406 yeah that's a close second best.
This is craziest and most awesome creation i’ve ever watched someone make
That was a nice touch @ 2:22. Got a lot of laughs on that. Just icing on top of the most awesome build you have ever done!
Some load cells on the gripper pads tied to individual meters visible in the cabin would be awesome for fine manipulation and pressure modulation. Great job.
Jeez. English pls🤣
Better still would be cameras and monitors as well, with small mushroom joysticks on the main sticks for fine manipulation, possibly with a set of low-flow bypass valves to give more delicate control. I can see CAT picking this up as a construction tool with accessories able to be gripped or replaced as needed for the job. A whole new customizable equipment line with a built-in customer base of sci-fi nerds as well as industry.
@@IIISuperLinkII load cells are basically just a part that measures pressure. Then they could tell how much force they're applying on the gripping part of the "hands". Useful info for the egg trick or picking up things they don't want to squish. 👍🏼👍🏼
@@onemynde8915 I was thinking of the cameras, too. That rabbit hole goes pretty deep lol. It'll be interesting to see how far they decide to refine the platform. It would be a neat unit for remote operation in hazardous environments.
@@IIISuperLinkII ..Basically cells on the gripper that tells the pilot how hard the grippers are gripping, so for example Bogdan could have grabbed the egg without breakin it cause he would have had readouts tellin him how hard he was grabbing

There is no way it’s been 3 years it’s gone so fast lol

I'm so happy you finally did it ❤️🔥💫
Congrats guys that’s a lot of time and work. Unreal 🎉
I’m honestly interested in seeing how it performs as an actual warehouse vehicle/tool as opposed to something more traditional
Fork lifts are just better practically
@@theskyisblue8979 agreed, however, this could be useful for disasters.
The fact that this is actually functional makes the project even more exciting to see
This is the most entertaining video that I ever seen on youtube. I wish I could pilot this!!! Awesome work guys.
This has been totally worth the wait!
OMG you did it, you really really did it!
yep
Yep they finally did it
As a 360 excavator I would say it needs longer to arms to distance the operator from the target more and to improve functionality, also an excavator style blade to stop damage to the power loader itself and also to assist with picking things up or moving them. I would also suggest a larger counterweight or a counterweight that could move further away and nearer towards at the rear of the vehicle to cope with larger weights being moved or picked up. One other thing would be a stronger undercarriage and wider tracks to allow for these upgrades and for versatility on moister terrain. Finally an engine upgrade to account for the things I’ve suggested. It’s a great job to even complete this thing though so credit where it’s due guys! Ps it needs a cup holder
Allthough all good advice they wanted to build it as. Lose to movie specifications as possible
@@khristianboulton7123 Well, they did ask for upgrade ideas.
@@Distortia1994 oh didn't see that but yeah now that they've built a movie one I wanna see like the actual best thing they can build, allthough that would be another couple hundred thousand dollars
@khristian boulton, just adding my advice as someone who understands, operates and owns machinery of this kind, eg; hydraulic mainly. My additions were added as advice and operators insight. It’s up to them what they do with it. Thanks
So basically you’re saying rebuild it 3x the size…
This is the most badass thing I’ve ever witnessed, I wish I was as smart as you guys so I could do stuff like this. I can’t even comprehend where to start on how awesome this thing is.
Here is an idea for an upgrade. You said that forklift is better, which it is, than powerloader for the task of moving stuff. but what if you want it to work like a forklift? You have 2 independent arms. The problem is keeping those two arms aligned when lifting, so you bend stuff. My idea is to program a button that when pressed a code would align those two arms vertically (higher one drops, lower one rises; they meet in the middle relative to each other automatically) and lock them relative to each other. You could still move the wrists independently left/right, and maybe not rotate.
I think an armoured door on the lower of the pilots compartment would be good many like a door, but made with steel thick enough and strong enough to stop potential shrapnel flying into your legs and lower body, and maybe protective glass on the top half to protect your torso from potential shrapnel, i dunno just seems like a good idea to me
Ye
I was wondering why they didnt use plexi glass for the cockpit aswell. Would have also been better protection on the top. Imagine youre sitting in this thing while it rains and it just pours through the mesh onto your head.
8:28 "Oh no, the table, it's broken!" When almost 4 years in a making project becomes reality 😁 That's an achievement unlocked
This is so cool. The power loaders in Aliens were why I worked in Robotics - and ended up working in Movie Special Effects! We've built some really cool rigs - but nothing as cool as this!
I used to own one of those Honda Elements, and seeing you destroy one with a power loader made my day lol
Totally different setting but I feel like this is the beginning of industrial Mechs. The precision that can be achieved coupled with different arm attachments could make this a very useful base machine. As others have said, debris clearing from disasters down to moving large and heavy crates at shipping hubs. The possibilities with this thing are amazing.
Yea if I worked in a lumber yard and watched the clip of him man handling a log like a broom handle I'd consider its viability.
You would need more protection around the operator when dealing with large debris but it would be good for that.
Anyone praising his creation hasn't seen actual demolition equipment in action. In any case, the machine in the movie is supposed to be a materials handler, not a demolition machine. He doesn't demonstrate qualities of such a machine, and what he created was a yawner compared to equipment that already exists.
It's an awesome build.but there is literally no reason to have an operator exposed inside the machine, which would the change the design. Longer tracks and longer arms would then make this a modern day heavy machine.
They already have smaller exo suit versions that can move the weight of 20 people. It just lacks the maneuverability of the arms of this thing and treads.
I’ve been watching this channel since the first exoskeleton suit like 5 years ago or so….. I’m really proud of how far you guys have come and I can’t wait to see what the hacksmith industries will be able to accomplish in the next five years
Wow!!! I'm speechless, absolutely astonishing!!!.
i love the little touch of the handle controllers thingies look like alien heads
I was so freakin' satisfied when I saw the Power Loader take the car effortlessly. I've been watching the entire series, the full 17 episodes, over the past three years, and finally seeing it done is like a much welcomed gift that suddenly appeared without giving a clue. This thing made my freaking day.
"Satisfied"? Really? Bruh

there is absolutely no reason this needs to exist. I love it. Thank you for doing this!!!
Love to finally see it finished
You can upgrade the oil pressure lines. This soft tubing is way easier to puncture. You can also work on a shielding the pilot, because in some situations there are shrapnels everywhere. Speaking from experience :)
Oh yeah, I can’t count how many times pieces of pallets have come down on us at work.
I’m sure mk2 in digital camo will have a full lexan cell 😉

yo like thinking back and just watching this journey its completely unreal that this actually came true. i saw it happen and i still cant believe it... I seriously cant wait to see what hacksmith is like 15 years in the future, just imagine.
You guys are making the stuff engineers can only dream to achieve.
I can definitely see this being useful in many things from construction to search and rescue. This behemoth with its fine control would make moving debri from a collapsed structure easy. And if a custom fire hose adaptation where added to a firetruck being able to break a door open while spraying water would make warehouse fires easier to enter. For an upgrade a demolition blade for it like the jaws of life would be awesome.
Might be to cumbersome and top heavy to move through debris though
@@jameson1239 it could still be used to work through collapsed buildings without having to climb over obstacles though. It's definitely impressive that it can pick up an element without lifting the back of the tracks.
@@TruckWick true

This is beyond making something real, you guys just created an actual highly practical piece of heavy machinery. Like this is super versatile in comparison to a forklift or skid loader. LOVE IT
Versatile but not practical
Not practical at all but still awesome
maybe good for a scrapyard
I don’t know what you just said but yeah
@@boizpanda8168 most of what he was saying is fantasy the power loader is not practical... yet.
That is amazing! Nice work!
I can die happy now, knowing the day of this project's completion has finally arrived.
Absolutely incredible, what a project. My favourite moment was James being worried about it handling the log, which it then proceeded to dominate!!
Yeah this thing turned out waaaay more robust and powerful then I had imagined! Truly you guys turned it up to 11 with this!
I appreciate how Bogdan got to do a lot of the testing in this vid considering how much he worked on the project over the years
I actually have no words.. i didnt even know that was possible to make but it ACTUALLY IS im imagining it would BE SOO much fun to use it
This was so worth waiting for, congratulations on a finally getting it done! I have to ask, from my pov, this has a lot of possible applications. Did Caterpillar or any other companies approached you to make this useful machine to put into a possible production line and actually offer it for sale?
I remember watching the first vid of the series in my childhood home. Now I’ve graduated and I’m in post secondary. Crazy to think of how much time and dedication has gone into this project. Amazing!
It needs a MFD in the top corner, just to be able to read pressures and temperatures, would be the perfect use for a wide angle backup camera, to make it safer Also, giant Bolt Cutters on the inside of the grips, to chop up metal beams!
And mirrors
Bolt cutters!
the fact that its also remote control is so awesome and useful
This is the coolest project! I want to see more things with it!
I love how every video blows past anything I could think of. I’m not surprised that the expectations are exceeded quite often on this channel One day this team is going to make the real iron man suit and then someone will steal their tech to become the first Doc Oct
He already is!
The Powerloader is so cool. And if you want upgrades ideas (from the mind of a non-enginier) here are some: some extra weight at the bottom so its less wobbly in rare occasions like 19:30, an optional leg guard, door thing, a protective window in the front of the cage, side mirrors, cup holders, tool holder for when you need to fix the loader, a drill arm?
Oh and make the window have like a holographic screen or smth.
@@ellitheus4981 transparent oled with bulletproof window in front?
I was going to write that. I've seen people get injured just horsing around with a forklift that has a UL/CSA approved enclosed cab and guard. Seeing Bogdan with his bare legs out gave me the "someone's going to get hurt" feelings. It needs a full cage, and one with an analysis done to ensure it will survive a fall forward. Bursting hydraulics under pressure can cut skin and will kill you if the oil gets in your blood stream. It needs a screen on the flanks of the cab.
Maybe they could also find a way to protect the hydraulic tubes because they look susceptible to getting pinched or severed.
Everything y’all have done is so amazing…. Keep it up.. I want to see y’all build doctor Octavius robotic arms
Why doesn't this have a billion views. This is the coolest thing ever. What an awesome channel. They could obviously make a bunch of cheap videos and farm views, instead they make things they really want to make and play with it seems. I could die happy if I got to drive this thing. Holy freaking moly.
Everyone: “Sorry, but there’s a part shortage for cars.” Me: “Wait, why?” Hacksmith: 16:42
Ba
Moo
The amount of possibilities this thing opens up is amazing. It’s more versatile than a skid loader or forklift and the possibility of attachment’s makes it even better. You could make a wood splitting attachment so it could split with one hand and stack with the other, it could have forks attached and be able to move object much more easily in a warehouse or something, you could put a bucket on it so it would pretty much be a skid loader, somebody smarter than me could probably think of more real world uses for it. If someone like Caterpillar overhauled it and made it suitable for mass production you could stand to make a lot of money off of it. I feel it would definitely be useful for people in all sorts of industries.
Rescue mission ?
@@simat565 how would that work? Maybe if it’s a road accident but anything with rough terrain or a task that requires you to be carful is not an option
@@maddox471 open Heart surgery then ? 😅 (I was thinking more like after an earthquake, to move rumble but yes it's not realy agile on bumpy surfaces 😅for V2 maybe 😆?)
If it’s a good construction equipment it would have been introduced when the prop was first seen in the Alien movies. Sure it’s a cool prop but just looking at the height as well as the arms this thing has a very poor center of mass as well as the fact that it doesn’t actually have proper protection for the operator which makes it a big health hazard on construction sites, not saying hack smith didn’t do a great job it’s just not practical.
I don't think so
I like how major contruction equipment corporations haven't thought of this but an engineer on KZhead has
my favorite part is that once you guys run out of things to build for it and crazy challenges to make for it, it'll still be useful. you can just use it around the shop!
I’m glad that the guy in charge of the power loader got to enjoy it most and more screen time. He definitely deserves it! What an INCREDIBLE ACCOMPLISHMENT!
fun fact, bogdan had to walk home after they destroyed the car
nah, he got the power loader
@@KrisWithAK810 Yeah, 0.000001km/h. He'll get there. Eventually. One day. Also, why the f would you destroy someone's car?
@@xor_the_protogen content lmao
This is the most amazing piece of technology I've ever seen
Gods above this looks like it was so much fun to film. Especially knowing how long it took to make this thing.
This thing wielding a scaled - up protosaber would be insane
So would the heat emitted XD
It would be the next step in the inevitable path to a battlemech.
Apparently they’re working on different attachments so a giant protosaber could be something we see in the future
YES!!! IT’S HERE!! We did it boys, seemed like 3 1/2 years in the making, but it is finally done!
Only 3!
@@theHacksmith my bad! Edit: *seemed like Edit:*but
This is bringing a tear to my eyes
It seems to me a feasible product, great job!
