Darn you for beating me by like, a meter on shotput. XD Awesome work man!! Your hurdle run was probably the most entertaining out of all of us even though it was placed last, should've deducted a second for every flip you made. :P I'll get my video done, eventually... =w=

i usually never comment on videos and im never interested in construction and things like that, but i recently watched this video and your plane in a car simulator video, they were both so well edited, the voice-overes were accurate and straight to the point, and you are very smart and enjoyable to watch. I just want to say: thank you for making such awesome content, its bizzare how you are charming to the point where you get me interested into a topic i was never interested in before.
Just a thing. This isn’t a trebuchet, it’s a catapult. The difference is that trebuchets use weight, while catapults use some kind of tension or pulling, like springs. Edit: I was informed that actually, the difference is that trebuchets have the weight dangling by a string, while catapults always have a solid lever, but may or may not have a weight.
That's not true, trebuchets accelerate the load with a lever and a string giving it a much bigger circle and so, a much bigger lever while a catapult only uses a solid lever to launch the load, but also a simple weight.
@@ReidCaptain I have a question. How many people tried to participate bc RCE said that these were the finals and that there were qualifying rounds so how many ppl were in the qualifying?
found you at like 2am and now I'm subbed. Younger me would've loved you. Was obsessed with these games as a kid. wouldve been an eng. if I didnt suck at math 😂
Lovely example of participating for fun. Maybe if you did a similar thing again would be fun to show some shots of the other participant's designs as well. :)
None of the people in this competition seem to understand lever force 😭 you keep puttin springs on but you never just give yourself a long arm, on either side of the fulcrum!
Besiege idea: A human! Basic things like move arms. Doesnt even have to be standing/walking can just be sitting In a chair. then like can move arms, breath, maybe even sorta "talk" (lip movement)
I think you guys shouldn't get the events/stages before the 20 minute timer starts, it'd be more about making the design and less about copying your design over in 20 minutes then
I thought that initially on seeing this video too. Pretty sure RCE went into the events fairly cold; without understanding the challenges and definitely without prior practice. But _then_ I thought, hold on - what's the title of the event? In the real Olympics, do you think the competitors turn up with no idea what they'll have to do? Without have spent years, sometimes decades honing their specific skill to perfection? What I'd like to see instead is a Polyunseenchallenge event!
@@Varksterable this is something i'd never think about but its a really good point - people have years to prepare when competing for real, so it makes sense to be able prepare as much as someone wants beforehand
I find it pretty funny how he at first didnt realise that putting "colide with everything" made the shape tangle up in springs and thats why it didnt launch at qll
Commented video 3. Please make a explosive powered engine in Scrap Mechanic! I want to know if you can do it, because i tried and it didnt work... And also, glad you enjoyed the event!
not sure if I'm explaining this right becaus I'm wicked tired but -- here goes For an optimal 'ramp' like the one you used in the jumping one to get the flags, try a right angle ... but with this formula Center stick would be exactly 45/2 degrees from the start/end points, where as the start/end points are 45 degrees apart. Anyway, you would use 8 to 16 sticks with a sin(stick/2) which would make it start strong, smoothly even out the angles when near the middle, and then thrust the rest of the way until its exactly 90 degrees r/overthinking probably but yeh, also I probably just confused the sh* out of people lol Also I think its sin(stick/pi) or sin(stick/4) but meh
1:45 and eventually you realized that your weight was colliding with the nodes of your spring, which were stripping it out of your basket? Basically you were trying to launch something, but it was trapped inside a cage fixed to the ground, so it was never going to be able to go anywhere.
Ugh... this is cool and all, but _trebuchets_ use _weights_ to rotate their arm, not springs. What you made is... not anything like any real medieval siege weapon. Maybe a catapult.

I like your vids
Oh hey! One of my favorite TH-camrs commenting on another one of my favorite TH-camrs! 😂😂😂
You guys are amazing
U did it without testen, much easyer if u tried it before the timer starts...
How are you today man. I love your videos and you are one of my most watched people on TH-cam. Keep that engineering train going man 👍🏻
I love how RCE came up with the idea and then placed dead last. No knocks against him, though. I could never do anything like this.
My favorite thing to do in Poly Bridge, not make bridges.
Reid captain at 19:35: Omg, I failed so horribly. I got DEAD last. I'm shocked I'm so far behind.

@@ptrjnsn5719 Thanks for the help! You learn something every day
@@ptrjnsn5719 Its still not a trebuchet though, as it lacks a sling.
On highjump, the best ramp would actually go further right than the peak of the jump, like a skate ramp.
I'm going to have to look into that more, ramp design is interesting!
He didn't notice the rock was just colliding with the springs in the first trial's sandbox test.
Yeah I had that realization half way through and just kinda facepalmed
fun fact: everything that weights more than a gram, technically weights one polygram
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks for all the help!
@@ReidCaptain I have a question. How many people tried to participate bc RCE said that these were the finals and that there were qualifying rounds so how many ppl were in the qualifying?
@@Egerit100 There were a total of 9 people who were brought into the competition! Only 6 of them managed to actually submit something in time though.
8:47 the best ramp for this approach would have been a brachistochrone curve
found you at like 2am and now I'm subbed. Younger me would've loved you. Was obsessed with these games as a kid.
wouldve been an eng. if I didnt suck at math 😂
the reason your pentagram kept falling out of the sling is because it was colliding with the nodes connecting the springs together
Lovely example of participating for fun. Maybe if you did a similar thing again would be fun to show some shots of the other participant's designs as well. :)
Imagine if this was a real event in the Olympics
wow didn't expect to see a collab of those people. excited for more, maybe, perhaps?
There will always be more, don't worry.
0:09 fun fact: Aliensrock was a bloons youtuber too 4 years ago
Poor lad can't say trebuchet 😅

Saw this on RCE. Nice to see your perspective
Physics man at great work again.
16:14 OHHH it landed on... feet?
all thats Physics class definitely came in handy for this guy
Should've gone for a trebuchet instead of that weird catapult
Who TF would dislike this video??? I'm gonna go find those two
Now try ro find the 534 ones
I refuse to believe you aren’t just Nile reds gaming channel
idea: make wind powered car that goes faster than the wind, that would be cool if you can recreate that in dream car builder
And then make a £1,000 bet on it working with other science nerds
ah yes Veritasium
its a pity you didnt show the winning design for each level
I find it pretty funny how he at first didnt realise that putting "colide with everything" made the shape tangle up in springs and thats why it didnt launch at qll
That spring one looks so fun

Reid when are you gonna do another minecraft project, I really liked the last one.
Yeah the Minecraft stuff was cool
very cool, smart person
Am I going crazy or is there a quiet beeping sound?
You are probably hearing the games music in the background
994 epic keep up the great content love your vids
I love how the guy who is a real civil engineer and the guy that is the literal developer of the game came dead last 💀
not sure if I'm explaining this right becaus I'm wicked tired but -- here goes

captainsauce is the master "bridge-biologist" he should've been on that list
why does this guy kind of sound like NileRed
9:57 i think the more the solution (road) looks like a brachistochrone the higher it will go
so a trebuchet but catapult
his physics is pretty on-point
This was fascinating for some reason. Idk how I got here though
I saw another person do this event and when I realized this was another TH-camr who was also in the event pretty cool design for the win
1:45 and eventually you realized that your weight was colliding with the nodes of your spring, which were stripping it out of your basket? Basically you were trying to launch something, but it was trapped inside a cage fixed to the ground, so it was never going to be able to go anywhere.
Anyone remembers that game Armadillo? It's similar, the goal is to put a ball (the armadillo) into a designated area by building similar contraptions.
they should add layers to poly bridge so it’s easier to layer things
As in just layers for the building, doesn’t affect the actual game
There are some color mods that work pretty well. I might try some out if I make something really layered.
@@ReidCaptain alright, those mods do sound pretty useful haha
Me: Sees a video that I missed
Also me: *Happy happiness noise*
when i read that Real Civil Engineer took a part i was like: POOPCANO!
Watching you get second on the bridge build blew my mind I thought you were gunna be dead last
It seems like cheating to design your catapult before the timer; doesn’t that defeat the point of the timer?
Epic
Indeed
Can the next video (or a next video) look at what the other winners did for their designs?
I think RCE has a video on that, and Arglin will have a really cool comparison video coming today/tomorrow.
@@ReidCaptain k
"Hey, what's the engineer doing?"
For the high jump I suspect a brachistochrone curve would have been ideal.
16:13 why is that so satisfying
Careful with the name of the event, olympics legit might DMCA that title for the event
Pretty sure 45° is not optimal launch angle
16:13 i love how it landed
Nice!!
I think it’s official: Imma buy Poly Bridge 2 with my new iPad mini when AT&T carries it.
Your lack of triangles disturbs me.
That’s a catapult, not a trebuchet. An inferior siege machine.
Well, trebuchets don't work with springs. Why don't you build the original design with a swinging weight?
oh so real civil engineer is in that
Amazing
one of those dudes that has too lil subs for what he provides,wonderful voice and absolute quality of a content...u jus have to love em,✌️
Nice
11:32 if you put it in slow mo you can see that the wright thing went to 98 percent
What's the point of the timer if you can practice beforehand? Just a micro simulator?
poor tyler, who donked the ceiling
"Trebuchet"
"Ehh what's the difference between tension and counterweights?"
> Proceeds to build what is obviously a catapult
This event is like all track events 💀
I have no idea why this was recommended to me but good job I guess.
just a rotating drum sling
Huh Aliensrock didnt shave himself to the win for once
The pentagon was colliding with the nodes on the spring
Idea; Lets use the trebuchet tennis ball built
epic physics moment
on the high jump level, you should’ve made an arch in the road before the ramp so the car could build momentum... assuming that was within the rules.
love how he says me for the rock
I'm here before this gets recommended to 1 million people
mmhmm yes this is good
Really they should add layers like in photoshop so you can hide specific things
Yo that would make a cool mod I can’t code I give permission for anyone to steal this idea lmao
ramp/high jump, why didn't you use a spring loaded mechanism to boost the car and give it even more speed before hitting the ramp?
I was more upset about the weight lifting on that last one
Peak gameplay
Last thing we need is you to build a jet in besiege
The bridge can shoot threes better than me lol
Cant believe 3 months later and still no continuation on the Scrap Mechanic computer
ok so is the building a gun idea happening, or is that a "ill get around to it". i just wanna know
I kinda did it in my tank video, but if I get another unique idea I'll run with it
@@ReidCaptain ok cool thx
Ugh... this is cool and all, but _trebuchets_ use _weights_ to rotate their arm, not springs. What you made is... not anything like any real medieval siege weapon. Maybe a catapult.
