 Welcome to Rotor riot everybody and today we are playing most durable fog You've got two teams that are going to be competing to create the most durable freestyle drone Let's bring out our two teams over here. We've got team hot props And over here we've got team carbon splinters Each team is going to get one of these drones This is a rotor riot flow frame with blaster motors, and this is a rotor riot cl1 frame also with blaster motors The jobs are to modify these drones to make them as durable as possible while still remaining freestyle capable So they're gonna have to be able to complete a power loop and then they're gonna run full speed into a wall Each team is gonna be using glass nylon props. You look at them too hard. They're breaking You're each gonna get five sets if you run out of props, you're done Anything that prevents the drone from being able to fly normally means you lose. The one thing will give you are blaster motors When you buy blaster motors they come with a replacement program So we will let you guys replace one motor each both these frames are also meant to be very durable But they're gonna be pushed to the limits And I know they're gonna be pushed to the limits because each team is gonna fly the other teams drone So with that let's figure out which quad you guys are going to get we're gonna settle this Good old game of rock paper scissors rock paper scissors shoot You guys get to pick your quad which frame is gonna be like more durable I'm thinking just this one has shorter standoff. So it's a little bit more compact You're right short students, and this one has camera cage in Mm-hmm by some rigidity. Yep. I think the flow is the one to take we're going with club Well, I guess we're going with this one Jeffrey We've been decided team hot props gets the rotor riot flow team carbon splinters gets DCL one They made the wrong decision so in this competition one of the teams is going to be a loser and one of you guys is going to be a winner the team that is most successful in This competition is gonna pick one of you guys in the comments section to give a brand new frame either a CL one or a flow and a set of blaster motors You guys each have four hours to prepare your quads and a budget of $100 okay, how you spend it so guys let's get to it What I'm thinking is just make a simple X and we're gonna bolt the frame right to it What's gonna be important is to have something to go up and over the props Yeah, we definitely need something to cover the top in the bottom cover every day and protect the props at all times too And metal should be plenty strong right metal and it's and it's kind of light. It's really like yeah I think it's gonna be our best bet though. I think it's woods will probably break So the rules are pretty relaxed to be totally honest because we're allowed to use anything we want the biggest rule that we got to Pay attention to we got to use old glass nylon props, which they just break like potato chips So I think the biggest thing we're gonna need to do is make sure the props don't break Protecting the quad is almost secondary. What if we go to like Michaels? You know how they have all the floral foam foam like a big like piece of foam on the top I mean I'm like foam on the bottom. It would be like a bumper and it's not gonna collapse. It's foam It's floral foam. Okay, so it's not gonna sure it stays on. They probably didn't think to go to Michael's They're probably gonna lose at the hardware store. We got a hundred dollars to spend on supplies I think there's only one stop at home depot. If you can't build in at home depot, it can't be built That's how I think about it. So I know they sell like little small sheets of metal 100 bucks is plenty to buy a couple sheets of metal drill bits. We're gonna get ice cream What about like like this on bottom and then we'll use the fiberglass pieces to help protect the motors and the props Yeah, we're gonna do about the battery though. We'll figure out a way We'll cut out a section of us and we'll just Okay, mount it on top of the battery It's way faster than the other team I think arcade was done before they got done shopping. Yeah, what do we have an hour? You think total everything shopping back here in the driving leaving out Slurpee stop it seemed like we should lose though because of how simple ours did take like it was like an hour And they spent maybe like to their complete four and a half hour. Maybe we could have spent a little more time And we go to like get it in the air and it's not lifting so we're thinking like oh, it's too heavy I mean it must be too heavy. That's what I was thinking the whole time But Jeff pointed out there like it sounded weird. It was like a It just didn't sound right and it's because one of the props was spinning backwards. He inspected that I was really worried I was like oh man, we spent like a total of 20 minutes building this and it doesn't work We reverse that motor she flew like a champion like a champ with a case. It looks kind of crazy and it's a little scary What have you done durable what oh my god Oh The foam it I think is gonna be really good at just kind of rounding the edges off the quad and Taking away any sort of sharp points that might impact the wall and do damage But we still we have to protect the props we go to Lowe's and Jamie has the idea to use these pecs tubing. It's a kind of stiff but flexible tubing Some people use it to make hula hoops or something I cut this tubing to make an insert that's about this long on both sides So that our connections extra tight it would actually take pulling it apart Straight to be able to get it to come apart. It wasn't originally supposed to be a whole work with what you know We were building the frame on it the tic-tac-toe board and then it was like Oh, let's protect all of the corners and put a she had the idea to make a circle That's where the whole but just then you use what you know Building our baby so like you can see like the props are not quite protected. Are they That's it. We're out of time They have to get like the perfect angle teched it against impacts from every side and top and bottom I don't think they're gonna be able to break it Let's the time has come you've built your quads and now it's time to put them to the test each team is going to power loop Their drone to prove that it is still freestyle capable and then hand the controller off to the other team Where it will meet its fate against the wall of death. We get to the spot. Everybody's ready to roll We're sitting there waiting twiddling our thumbs and then like 15 minutes later. We see the opposing team Way over there me and JB are hanging out because I go to exactly where the pin sent us We were literally on top of the pin And we're waiting and they're just farting around I could just see the sun going down behind the trees Well, it's up a quad is this we're like, well, we're not just gonna sit here and wait We're gonna fly while we're waiting We went ahead and put goggles on because we were just gonna not waste the light the golden hour And then we look over and we're like, I think that's true because we saw him walking no respect for all the people Once they get over there, they're like, we didn't see you Yeah, you couldn't see the whole group of us with a big working me with a drone What do you mean you didn't see me realistically it was just miscommunication and it's not like it was bad decision-making And I'm not gonna leave it to you to figure out whose decision-making it was The irreprehensible isn't even a word. I have here a bag of original H oh The only common bags of two you guys need to get three sets I think we'll have enough to tell you what I think carbon splinters gets four sets because they were here on time Their power loop was terrible. I think our power loop was excellent. Yeah tapped the ground a little bit. Yeah, but that's inevitable Does the power loop usually have a landing in the middle? No, and then you know what we did clean twice Oh I'm pretty sure barbell tapped on his power loop. He tapped my three times. I see I think he leaned it this arm to re-armed it finished a power loop All right, full throttle into that wall cock it to the side to hit it straight on one arm Oh my god, I think you might have broke a prop in the grass that would be the best case scenario Yeah The first time that they were about to smash into the wall, I'm thinking we got this Yeah, this thing is not going to kill it till it hit till it did kind of crinkle a little bit It's a big thing here. So how about the things we put on the front though the little I don't think that did a damn thing Metal is easy to bend back. Oh, it took was a little bending it back in the shape put a prop on there It's good to go. It definitely flexes more than I thought we should have done all four motor screws Or we should have just doubled it up. This hole makes it weak there. It's only got to bend to that much I think we're gonna beat the longevity because once there's breaks, it's done Ours can be bent back Smash I knew this prop wasn't protected. This is the exact prop that I was like Oh, this prop is sticking out a little bit. That was the first one to break again If our circle if our hoop would have been a little bit larger. Oh my god, this is thing even yeah, it barely Oh What happened? It's good. I was pitched into it to try and make it as fast as possible. Yeah, it definitely bends What you bend to the back is he allowed to do that? Yeah, how many props you break to three to two right now? That didn't sound good I get a good front blow on her. I don't know what you got But I heard a sound to broken prop tip tie. Oh my god. He separated it from the base but Zip ties how many props to to two props you guys are up one on adding zip tape or ties You guys can just you just think things back I mean as long as I'm not using new material, right? You're gonna reuse existing tape. Yeah, that sounds all right That's probably fine. I'm just rearranging it. That's how they were rearranging their metal We have one more set of props. Oh, we're gonna win by default cutting. It's the props breaking because it's hitting this You might have to lose the hat after all What are we gonna lose? That's it. We're gonna run out of times that we can bend this back before it just snaps Oh Team carbon splinters crushed it just absolutely annihilated team hot How many more hits do you think yours could take I think you think it's all that's what I want to find We'll even put modern You know durable props on here and we are gonna run the gauntlet in our warehouse all the way down and just see how many More times can this thing smash the ground? That's a slow-mo that I must have been really cooking look at this the way you've done to our wall of death You should just quite cut there. This will not fly. This is not enough of a prop to fly on. Oh, no The quad is basically fine. This one is holding up crazy good. We did rip one motor off. All right. Good game guys. Good episode So you guys for joining us for the most durable quad challenge our winning team is team Carbon splinters, but the real winners one of you guys if you guys go ahead and comment Carbon splitters for the win We are going to hook you up with a cl one frame or a little thing flow frame and we will pick the winner Randomly and don't forget you're also gonna get a free set of blasters, too And I'm really impressed with what both teams did because I think both drones on the inside of their contraptions are pretty much functional I'm not need like a new wire or something like that, but they're pretty well-protected basically awesome So thank you guys for watching. Hope you enjoyed this episode. Make sure to smash that like We'll see you next time Yeah, I'm just straight cut, you know in the waste of that much time we wait might have changed other than had you guys did piss poor at best So they did a great job. It was hard. We just did better
