LEGO Technic RC boat explores the ancient sunken city of Epidaurus
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 07. 2023
- About fifty meters off the coast of the beach Kalymnios, under the Acropolis of Ancient Epidaurus, and just two meters below sea level lie the ancient remains of a Roman villa from the 2nd century AD. The villa was situated close to the Agora which was located opposite the port. According to archaeologists, the ruins used to be a Villa Rustica (large rural Roman villa) where wealthy Romans lived together with their servants.
To explore these ruins, and since even the best BlueTooth controllers lose signal at about 50 meters (less over water), I built a fully RC research vessel that carries three cameras and a drone. The drone can take off the flight deck to locate the target, and the vessel follows to capture underwater footage of the site. One camera (cellphone) is situated in the bridge to capture epic "captain's eye" footage, and one action camera faces backward on the deck.
Research vessel V1.0 specs :
Propulsion : 2x LEGO RC motors
Steering : 1x RC servo motor
Battery : 3-cell LiPo
Remote Controller : FlySky FS-i6 with 6-channel receiver
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) : Hobbywing Quicrun 1060
Footage was shot on LG G6 cellphone (bridge), Apeman A77 action camera (deck), Sony HDR-AS30V action camera (underwater), and DJI Mavic Mini drone (aerial).

Would you like to see a slightly improved version of that boat exploring a sunken airplane that is even further from the coast? Let me know in the comments!
100% do it, also do you have advice for me too? I’m using my Lego exploration ship to explore a crashed ww2 plane. All I could think of is a underwater camera attached to a deep diving rope that can extend 4 metres deep.
@@techlogiantbricks8279@ techlogiantbricks8329 To lower a camera so deep, you should go for a platform that is lowered with ropes from all four corners. The mounting points should also have enough space between them to avoid spinning the platform. If you try to lower the camera with a single rope it will definitely start spinning. A simpler and safer solution would be to mount the camera under the boat as I did. That way you avoid the camera getting caught on the wreck or other object on the sea floor, as you will have absolutely no clue about the camera position once it is lowered. Finally, another option is to build a fully submersible vehicle, but that's much harder.

@@brickandgear thanks for you reply, you share lots of info with me. I have another question, what do you mean that I make a submersible out of Lego bricks? I always wanted to do it but it’s way too hard, you need to make it so that the sub can descend under the water and also rise up, this project just seems impossible. Even if it’s possible, the motors with the battery box can get damaged if it leaked
That is so freaking cool! Both the boat and seeing such ruins so close to the shoreline.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm sure you'll love my next adventure as well.
its insane how there is a sunken city just off the coast, amazing video.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy my next project as well! Sunken airplane!
I feel like that's where you'd most likely find one. Lol.
Idk if others have this feeling but when I watched small soldiers, there was this end scene where the sentient toys hop on a boat that’s in scale with them and sail out to sea. Ever since then I love seeing toys and figures in real life areas; Lego buildings in the grass, transformer figures fighting or driving through a sandy beach or exploring a forest. And especially toy boats with figures on them, as they search the ocean. Idk why but it’s so fun
I feel you! That is the reason why I place minifigures even in places that are not visible to the camera. I know they are there, and it makes the ship feel alive to me!
That boat ride and the swimmers saying hello human was fun
More will follow!
this is so cool!! i hope to see more adventures from this crew
You will!
This video is the best Lego boat video I’ve seen
Thank you! 🙏
This is the greatest build I ever see. A amazing Lego Moc. 😃👍
Thank you so much! I've got another mission for a slightly improved version of that boat, and then more adventures with different vehicles!
Awesome build, great video, and such a beautiful country. The scenery was gorgeous,and the history of a sunken city was intriguing.
Stay tuned for more adventurous videos in the future!
Bro has more lego technic pcs then the whole world combined
I wish! 😁
12:12 I love how the one guy just gets knocked over by the drones blowback
I didn't see that! LOL! 😁
Lego is amazing! I felt this again after watching this video.
It's no longer just a toy to play with at home.
There's truly no limit to what we can do with LEGO bricks!
The ship's rolling a lot. While a catamaran hull design is more stable than single hull, you still need keels and fins along the sides and bottom to lessen the roll. I would also recommend storing the heavy battery pack lower on the ship and use smaller motors.
Hello! Thank you for the informative comment! Could you check out my merchant ship video? I'd love to hear your opinion on that vessel.
a SWATH style catamaran hull with deep displacement pods would give more stability, you could design it to be suitable for 3 to 4 inch waves. look up SWATH and Trisec design ships.
The only improvement I would make is adding a small RC submarine attached by a string. That might be slightly difficult, but I think it might look nice
And be fun to “explore” with
I'll definitely make an exploration sub in the future!
it’s all fun and games until the controller disconnects
@@heisenburger531 subs are usually connected with the controller by cable, so you can just bring it up if something happens.
@@brickandgear just don't use a carbon fibre composite for the hull 😬
Cool
Thanks!
love the additional drone footage! amazing video and love the hobby plane lipo and servo. really like these big technic boat builds
Thank you! I hope you enjoy my future builds as well!
it's very satisfying
😁
You have a new sub I am blown away by the amount of work you have put into this.
Thank you so much for supporting my work! I hope you enjoy my next projects as well!
Like Atlantis!
Yeap!
WOW, this is so cool! Keep making your content!
Thanks! Keep watching and I'll keep making! 😁
I noticed you care a lot about your fans, your channel is amazing ~~ not every channel can do that
Thank you very much! It's the least I can do. You are the ones that support the channel and make all this possible! I really hope the channel grows even bigger and I am finally able to give away one of my builds (financially impossible at the moment).
Love your videos hope to see more amazing work and I hope you have a wonderfully amazing day.
Thank you so much! I am currently designing a boat that will explore a sunken US Army airplane!
Perfect project...
Thank you Tenor!
Imagine swimming and you run into a lego remote control boat
As they used to say in the ads from the ministry of tourism : "Live your myth in Greece."
I want this ! 😩❤
This is so cool, you just amazing !
Thank you! 🙏
@@brickandgear You welcom ! 🐺♥️
I have an idea. Why don't you make a large barge. The larger and shorter something is the sturdier it is. To stop wind interference, slope the sides. And make the sloped walls go over the drone landing pad, so the barge will catch it. And you can add a little sub underneath if you have room.
The small sub is nice. Quite ambitious though...
And if you were ambitious enough, you could add small tracks on the bottom to make it amphibious.
Hello brick&gear
I have another question for u, can you tell me what Lego motors you used and what remote you used to control your vessel, if possible can you show me how to use your remote? I might also use your type of mechanism for my Lego exploration vessel
I used two RC motors, but I have replaced them with L motors. You can use any 2.4GHz controller for RC vehicles. However, you'll need an electronic speed controller for each channel that drives motors, a receiver, batteries (I use LiPo, but they can be dangerous if you don't use them properly) and servo motors. I'll upload a video sometime in the near future explaining some of the electronics and procedures.
I looked up lego boats saw this and said "Been there, seen the ruins, there're bloody awesome, and now I want to spend the several hours I don't have trying this for myself!"
I was, however, surprised by the lack of yachts! Usually there are tons!
Me too. Apart from one group of swimmers, there was no human presence near the ruins. There was a group of Italian geologists on the pier! Showed them the ruins from the drone feed! 😁
Yo you have the coolest lego' ever!🤑😱💪🏻🤛🏻👨🏼🎨
I'm glad you like my builds! Unfortunately I don't get to keep them. I always dismantle them to build something new.
So cool man, this should be a set, you should add shipping containers or even a working lifeboat! This build is astomishing
Thank you! I'll definitely build more complicated boats once I complete my first baby steps in RC systems!
@@brickandgear :)
You are so genius!!!!!
Thank you! 🙏
Thats awesome how you built a floating Lego RC boat! But i do feel like there could be a way to make the turning radius gears a little bigger.
You are correct. Those small servos turn less than 90 degrees and I wasn't aware of that when designing the boat. I actually made a modification with larger gears in order to achieve tighter turns, but in the end I stuck with my original design, as the mission didn't require great maneuverability. I'm taking my first steps in proper RC gear, so I'm learning as I go.
He just good at Lego.
😊
So cool. Congratulations .
Thank you!
I would like to see a version on that boat exploring the wreck of the titanic
You never know. Great video for a 10 million subscribers special. 😁
This is so cool, i love it ❤
I hope you like my next video as well! The sunken airplane project!
Have a question: Here in Australia, we have strict gun laws
Do you think that it’s legal to play with Lego guns in public In Australia?
Also, Do you know if it’s legal to use it for self defence too?
I honestly don't know about that. Anything gun related should be checked out with the proper authority first.
Είσαι μεγάλος μάστορας!
Ευχαριστώ πολύ! 😁
The LEGO boat building was half the entertainment and the exploration was the second half!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
La seule chose que je trouve regrettable dans cette vidéo même si elle est très bien c'est le fait que ce soit des Lego et qu'il soit en pleine mer, en cas de perte de pièce, cela sera un déchet de plus dans les océans...
Vous avez raison. C'est la raison pour laquelle je prends toujours les précautions nécessaires pour éviter de contaminer l'eau.
I learned about geography, ancient history and lego building all in one video 😮👏 Please tell me you have a Submarine video?!
My pleasure! I've built a very basic submarine in the past and have plans to build something better in the future to explore a WWII shipwreck. Here's my first attempt on a sub : czcams.com/video/6GY4684Npgg/video.html
@@brickandgear thanks for your reply. I checked out your Submarine video, very cool! I like how you do your videos and music, very enjoyable. Did you get any inspiration from other CZcams Lego builders?
For the sub I was inspired by the Brick Experiment channel. I saw their LEGO powered sub in a jar, so I thought about building one made entirely from LEGO Technic elements, and in the future a massive meter long proper sub that can traverse the sea!
@@brickandgear great! I have seen the submarine from BEC channel too. His method was very clever. I am excited to see your full length Submarine version! 🤩👍
Your boat is awesome!👍
Thank you! 🙏
this is beautiful
Thank you! 🙏
Very cool😊
Thank you!
Awesome !! How many hours of conception and build ? Amazing job 😉
Hello! Designing and building took around 10 hours. Shooting and editing the video is the hard part.
This is really cool.
Thank you!
Yes
Μπράβο! Ωραία κατασκευή! Νομίζω ότι χρειαζόταν λίγο μεγαλύτερη πλευστότητα αλλά κατά τα άλλα εξαιρετικό! Συνέχισε έτσι! Δυστυχώς είμαστε πολύ λίγοι κολλημένοι με τα technic στην Ελλάδα.
Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Πιστεύω ήθελε διπλάσιο ύψος για να μην περνάει το νερό εύκολα στο κατάστρωμα.
@@brickandgear Παρακολουθώ καιρό τώρα τις δημιουργίες σου και θέλω να σε συγχαρώ για δύο βασικούς λόγους! Πρώτον, διότι τολμάς να πειραματιζεσαι με κατασκευές μέσα σε νερό και κυρίως με την θάλασσα, κάτι που δεν το τολμάει κανείς από τους άλλους δημιουργούς που ανεβάζουν βιντεάκια στο CZcams. Είχα φτιάξει ένα σκάφος που αμολουσε παραγάδι χρησιμοποιώντας nxt2 για τον έλεγχο του και νόμιζα ότι μόνο εγώ (μάλλον ακούγεται πολύ εγωιστικό αυτό) είχα τολμήσει να βάλω τα lego μου στην θάλασσα, μέχρι που είδα τις δημιουργίες σου και συνειδητοποίησα ότι το μικρόβιο αυτό το έχουμε στην Ελλάδα! Δεύτερον, σε συγχαίρω γιατί οι κατασκευές σου έχουν μία ξεχωριστή ταυτότητα και πλέον όταν πετυχαίνω κάποιο βίντεο σου, καταλαβαίνω ότι είναι δικό σου πριν δω το όνομα του καναλιού. Μπράβο σου γιατί είναι πολύ ωραίο όταν τα έργα κάποιου δημιουργού έχουν ταυτότητα!
Και πάλι συγχαρητήρια και συγνώμη αν κούρασα με το μέγεθος του μηνύματος μου..
Σε ευχαριστώ πολύ! Δεν με κούρασες καθόλου. Αντιθέτως! Ελπίζω να σου αρέσουν και τα μελλοντικά μου σχέδια!
Υ.Γ. Τόση θάλασσα που έχουμε, κρίμα να μην την χρησιμοποιήσουμε...
This deserves more views
Thank you! I hope it gets the views it deserves!
Definitely, it’s something special
I recommend improving your video thumbnail to attract more views
@@techlogiantbricks8279 thanks! Any suggestions on the thumbnail?
@@brickandgear include your face if you are comfortable, maybe put an arrow pointing to something amazing such as your boat looking down at the wreck, and the wreck below the boat with an arrow or box to get your viewers excited, your video is very special, I’ve always wanted to explore underwater wreckage that was there at popular times so if you follow these tips you can get more views, if it still doesn’t work, delete this video and reupload it with your new thumbnail. I also have a Lego CZcams channel and I do this all the time when things don’t work out.
The thumbnails are good as is! Maybe at most add text.
Amazing video!!!
Thank you!
BRO IS BETTER THAN LEGO MANUALS FOR THE SETS BRO DAAAAAMMMNNN
😁
Very cool boat
Thank you!
Love the video.
Thank you! 🙏
Your a great builder!
Thank you! 🙏
I love your vids
Thank you! 🙏
You awesome man!
Thank you!
I would love to build lego ships like this but ordering lego can be really expensive where did you get all of yours
Hello! Almost all of my builds are based on parts from the Bucket wheel excavator (42055), and a single order from BrickLink.
that is super cool
Thank you!
Thats so cool man and explore
Sunken airplane
I explored it today! Stay tuned for the video!
This great content!
Thank you! 🙏
Very cool boat, i like the big size of it, cool electronics, now i wonder how fast can lego go on water.
What if you put 4 propellors or 6 with the same 2 motors ?
Today I tested that boat with a few changes, and I believe that my next boat would probably have four motors/propellers for better speed.
Your video is great ! Can yo tell me where do you buy these amount of LEGO Technic parts ?
Hello and thank you for commenting! Most of my parts come from the Bucket wheel excavator (42055), and one BrickLink order of plates and other pieces. I'll probably make another BrickLink order soon though, as I want to build even bigger boats!
This is the shit we live for
I know... Check out my sunken airplane exploration as well!
You should make a Lego Rc battle ship that floats on water
It's on my "To Do" list! 😁
Больше всего переживал за человечка, который сдвинулся, когда взлетал квадрокоптер
Он был немного шокирован, но здоров... :)
You can make a bigger hélice the boat was slow so a bigger hélice make the boat more speed
This is somehow... similar to the imagination I had as a child... going out to sea on my own ship and doing what I wanted... this is really romantic
It is! 🙂
How are you so good keep up the good work bro🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅🏅
Thank you so much! 🙏
Give this man an Oscar
😁
PLEASE MAKE MORE BOAT VIDEOS THAT WAS INSANE
Hello! I am already designing my next boat. Prepare for more insane stuff!
Bro trusts little plastic pieces with all his electornics more than I trust Ohio with sheltering aliens.
In LEGO we trust... 😁
Im happy that you look in every comments😊.
Good video tish makes me learn how build Lego much easier and harder😂
Checking each comment is the least I can do. You take the time to watch my videos and comment! Thank you! 🙏
Great! Now make a submarine with an oceangate livery
No minifigure will want to dive with it!
Gotta be honest, my anxiety for the little guys was over the roof
I always take care of my crew!
Niiiiiiiice
😁
nice technic boat, but the view of camera looks more like u boat :) Maybe your next special physics lego technic product :)
I've actually got plans for submersible, but I have so little time!
this is so epic man. I'm leaving this comment to fuel the algorithm
Thank you so much for the support!
My only concern is with the electric parts, water and electricity can prove fatal. Are the components waterproof? If they are then that would be alright.
The ESC is waterproof. I also sealed the receiver, battery and all connections. (The battery and receiver can be sealed inside deflated balloons)
Good to know
How to Buy it
Safer then titan submarine😂😂😂
😆
how did you make the base of the boat
The two hulls are LEGO Technic, and the filing is styrofoam.
What knife was that at 7:00?
Thank you.
That's the clear version of the JerryRigEverything knife.
@@brickandgear Thank you. (It looks great.) Of course, the boat was amazing too. :)
Thank you!
why did the Romans build a city underwater?
Probably to house Aquaman, I guess... 😁
@@brickandgear they are even smarter than I thought!
is there a blueprint for this boat so perhaps...someone else could make one? asking for myself
No, but you can get inspired and build something similar!
That one person in plane crazy be like:
Edit:plane crazy is a game on Roblox that can make you build anything you want.
😁
Did you try landing the drone on it?
No. The boat was sitting too low on the water and the waves would sometimes go over the deck. Too dangerous to get the drone wet.
is that a lego set or did you make it custom?
Hello! Everything you see in the channel, except the 41999 crawler, is custom.
Is. The. Good 👍👍👍👍👍
what is the name of lego please tell me
It's my own build.
Quando tempo ci hai messo?
Circa otto ore per progettare e costruire.
Mazza ! Molto bravo complimenti
Grazie! 🙏
You were luky that it was no kid to take the exlporer
I had my flamethrower tank standing by, just in case... 😆
Bros making Sea vehicles better than Ocean Gate with A lesser budget
😆
15:23 What's that blue thing there?
Something the department of archaeology packed up and left onsite.
Daumen U-boot
I used to build Lego ships then sink them on a bathtub or a little pool then my dad got mad at me side he thinks they’ll get moldy. But I told him: dude. There is literally a giant hull brick meant for using in water
Ships and boats are meant to be in the water, whether they float or not... 😁
Indeed they are
even if they have big bricks the ships I really like... I love making videos with LEGO City
Is that boat a set?
Nope. I designed and built it myself.
Feat des oto de Lego
Alright where is the submarine
I tried building one in the past : czcams.com/video/6GY4684Npgg/video.html
I'll certainly build a better one in the future.
I don’t think that’s what he meant and if you don’t now just do not search Titian sub
