Mark, if you guys want to go down a disc golf rabbit hole of variables (and probably fascinate legions of disc golfers), you should use your launcher with discs of differing flight ratings, plastic types, weights, and some people even say colors, and see how they differ. Also, when launched at different speeds, the same discs should fly differently. I can’t even find flight ratings for the Pulsar you used, but I’m thinking that as an Ultimate disc it would be a pretty straight flying disc. Hope you’ll consider it! 🥏⛓
I am an avid disc golfer and major disc golf manufacturers have flight ratings but every mold and plastic type flies differently. I would love to see some content on the matter of release speeds vs flight ratings of distant driver discs
In 2013, FIRST Robotics had a challenge that involved shooting frisbees at targets high and low on a jungle gym. Our team, among many others created something similar to the device in this video. It's a lot of fun to see how far the discs could go!
Agreed. No machine would be able to keep up with those guys. I'd have to throw Simon Lizotte in there too. Admittedly, throwing a normal frisbee would be difficult for them. But once they adjusted, I think they'd destroy the machine. Lol
2013, Ultimate Ascent. My senior year game, seeing the frisbees flying across the field was quite a sight to see, even if most teams parked and rapid-fired.
I would like to see this juiced up and throwing actually disc golf discs. Could try to beat maximum human distance, I bet that could be tough since it might not just be about the force but idk
I Think CrunchLabs should make a New Hitchbot. since the original died in Philly. With Mark's experience with the prank packages, it would be cool if he could actually get it acrossed america!
Unfortunately it’s not quite how they work. They are basically an airplane wing that rotates so that it remains gyroscopically stable. Look up the Bernoulli principal
wow the big one is surprisingly accurate, but so was that little girl lol. wonder if that took multiple takes or if she really did hole-in-one the box, hit the candle perfectly, and nail the dummy in the head in one try :D
I mean, it didn't go into the box so that isn't a point and knocking the candle down also makes extinguishing the fire invalid. but if there where destructive points, you'd be on fire
We actually tried to use a bike tire in one of our early prototypes! We couldn't get it to work exactly how we wanted it, so we ended up going in another direction, but with some more tinkering it might have worked!
"I was willing to give her the W" Actually, mark. You lost 2 of the 3 challenges. You were a bit high for the slot in the box, and didn't fit anyways And you broke the candle, when the goal is to put out the fire without hitting the candle
don't call them frisbees, Frisbee is a brand of disc. Innova Pulsars are disc golf putting discs, and not even the same type of disc commonly referred to as a frisbee.
To be fair, your nephews should have gotten at least a decade to hone frisbee skills, and a team of support frisbros to accurately compare to your decades of engineering experience and team of engineers designing the launcher. Just sayin.
Hello Mark! Love your channel. You always have fun things to watch and we actually learn a little. If I had a science teacher like you back in 1986, I most likely would've passed the class with a solid C. Being sincere, I am pretty dense and understand things backward. It's taken decades of concentration to finally understand things correctly the first time I read it but I still have my blonde moments-no offense to you or the Barbie community. I have to get this off my chest because you did work for NASA... Didn't you find it wasteful how they built disposable rockets used once? SpaceX can land the same rockets they launch and it makes me see how much money (billions and billions) NASA wasted and still waste by building they'll rocket in such a way that they cannot be reused after just one launch. Maybe you worked in a different department but I know you had a lot of influence to tell them there was a better way. I want to hear your response and not anyone else who DIDN'T or EVER worked at NASA. I want the truth from the real CrunchLab guy. *Hope I didn't put you on the spot.* It is just so wasteful each time I think about all the wasteful material used, pollution and debris from such highly [intelligent] scientists at NASA. Thank you for your attention and time. *Still a subscriber* 👍🏼
I came here without buying it and by scanning the QR Code in Mark Rober's Secret office video which is 8 months old as I am writing this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
