LEGO Crossbow vs Fruit!

Building a LEGO Technic bow and testing it against various fruits.
Throughout the video, the LEGO machine comes up against tougher and more resilient fruits which become harder for the LEGO bow to defeat!
LEGO PF motors are used to power the bow which shoots stainless steel balls into the fruit perched upon a LEGO plinth!

Ah thanks for the comment! I appreciate the support!

The wall splitting apart was really cool. It would be neat if u did a lego wall vs crossbow at some point!

[@Nah_idk_name]

the mango really made the ball go to the mango rooms

[@cavalierliberty6838]

So, couple of dumb questions. First, does the backwards stretching and subsequent release stress the technic to a breaking point? Second, is there a way to give it more oomph?

[@BuilditwithBricks]

Hey, thanks for commenting. Over time the Lego technic would fail due to ‘fatigue failure’ where the plastic Lego material gets exposed to repeated loadings that are below the stress limit of the material itself. How many cycles this would be I’m not sure. To increase power you could increase and strengthen the size of the limbs so that you could apply greater force to the string.

That's a Crossbow, not a bow

[@BuilditwithBricks]

I think you are probably right! I’ve updated the title, Thanks for your feedback!

[@Kilonova.]

It's more like a Ballista since its not hand held

[@stealthdrifter4556]

closer to a ballista actually

[@theofficialchannel4368]

Now what if we replace the ball with a shrapnel grenade?

[@AiMaker-bc1mp]

Do you first make like a blauprint in a program so yes what program do you use

[@BuilditwithBricks]

No blueprints, I design as I go and adjust as needed. I occasionally use bricklink studio to rough out parts lists but that’s about it!

[@DarionTiger]

I'd put a laser on that one to help with aiming.

[@BuilditwithBricks]

Great idea for next time!

[@DarionTiger]

@@BuilditwithBricks I'm amazed you didn't t hink of that.
