Lego Combination Lock Cracking Robot V1.1

A major hardware update to the masterlock cracking robot. Upgraded the previously non-working latch opening mechanism to be geared down 1:25, allowing it to open the shackle. I also revamped the motor mount to be sturdier, and the base of the unit to hold the lock better and also be easier to mount parts to.
The software is still non-functional. I'm hoping to get into the lab within a few days to load the "real" software and get it running.

Cool check out my channel

Very creative! I'd like to reclaim my Master locks!

@zizznatch Over two hours to break into a bike lock?  I think our bike locks are still safe from terrorists using this method.

Back in reality, maybe I can find the combinations to the half dozen combo locks I have collected over the years.

Awesome

@gyrogearloose23 That's still only two hours.

Amazing piece of engineering.

But, I am not worried for your saftety. This takes too long for being practical.

Looks like the lock needs 3 turns for opening, that is 999 combinations. The robot tried 1 combinations in about 10 seconds. So, if it had to try all of them, thatt would take 9990 seconds. Surely, any self-respecting safe-cracker would do it faster.

I'd rarely want to use axles structurally.

@zizznatch From my perspective he's not the a-hole here.

THANKS FOR GIVING THE TERRORISTS THE TOOLS TO CRACK SAFES WITH LEGOS AHOLE
