Any ideas on what other custom wheels would work for Lego vehicles?

You could try using a motor to rotate a series of gears that move axles in a semicircular motion, so linear on the ground and then circular to come back around. You could combine this with maybe 5 more to make a walking device.

I totally agree. Not just the DualTrack Dominator was my clear favorite but that would have been the perfect addition. Not just that it adds more weight to the vehicle but it would master every of these challenges without even thinking about struggling in any perspective. The only thing that could have stopped him then was speed.

Dual Track Dominator is the coolest, absolutely

If the stepmaster had failed the steps that would have been real embarrassing

Dont think i have ever been so invested in performance comparison of silly lego vehicle competitions.

StepMaster Cruiser won on style alone, I mean, did you SEE that moon walk in the tug-o-war?

The tug of war really just demonstrated the idea that on a flat surface like that, rubber tyres have better grip than other things.

I feel like the stepmaster could be so much more effective with "shoes" in its feet.

I think if beetle bots signature motion was mirrored in it's rear it would have stood a better chance. Definitely a unique concept!

Yup! Looks like we all need a second video, but with all of the vehicles carrying their own battery packs and fully equipped with rubber feet! Especially for the step master. Maybe using boat-shaped feet for the step master. Like, make it flat, but with a very slight boat-shaped curve on the bottom. That would make it comparable to the traction the beetle gets.

They'd have to be rounded on the bottom for the step master to stand a chance. If they're flat, the distribution of force will be spread too thin. It needs to have a needle-like contact force with the ground for best traction. And as it was mentioned in another comment, having it's own battery pack installed would help add weight.

I absolutely loved the dualtrack domintator design.

My favourite in this one is definitely StepMaster Cruiser! Such an interesting and playful design, working really well, except for grip being low

Needs 6x6 independent suspension per wheel

I'm watching the driver and he isn't even watching the wheels or anything. I think you need more skilled drivers for your cars.

The StepMaster Cruiser is just SO satisfying to watch

Pour one out for the Siege Strider, mad respect, gave it the best it could

I Vote Goldengrip Snail

Altogether, my favorite was the DualTrack Dominator! I also love the Milky Wheel custom; what a great pun.

Could you build a food truck by Lego, please?

I like the double track dominator too! It's like 8-wheel drive, and tank tracks! It's the ultimate all-terrain vehicle! All it's missing is water and air.

Be honest, the step master is my favorite because it’s kind of cute. Just add a little face onto it and you basically got yourself a step master pet.

Very interesting, I just think about testing different type for a robot on hostile terrain, like Mars or Moon

This comparison was kinda unfair. 😅. Some had rubberized wheels some didn't. Some had open bellys some hadn't. Especially in the tug of war, the vehicles with rubber easily won vs ones without. Giving the StepMaster rubber shoes, probably would have made him at least 3.rd place.

The tug of war test was too in favor of the rubber wheels because of how smooth and hard it was. A rubber mat would have been better. My favorite will always be treads. They are the ultimate in all terrain movement.

Golden Grip snail, I mean Milky wheel, no wait BeetleBot. Ok Those three, but also the Dual Track Dominator.

Basically, everything except the seige strider

you have a 3D printer! This is great. This gives new opportunities, new projects!

Tug of War would have been more fair with a force meter mounted at the same level as the chassis, and all vehicles having rubber traction. Like the 6x6 was being pulled upwards from the back

Technical lego was out of our price range then but years ago me and my friends used to make Meccano tractor pull vehicles so I really relate to this.

if folks from Nasa and Jpl aren't watching this channel they're really missing out on a lot of information

These are so fun to watch.

Milky Wheel milky-wins my vote! The design of the burrs on the back of legs, so subsequent feet can grip them is ingenious!

Golden grip, milky wheel, and stepmaster are the only correct answers. They won at pretty much everything until beetle came back in ToW

I like to imagine the siege striders driver would scream the vehicles name while doubling down how cool it is after every failed challenge

It would’ve been even cooler if you had showed all the vehicles and the terrain and then let us make our predictions before seeing the results. That way it would be more interactive

The golden snail is essentially just a Sherp ATV. No wonder it did well!

9:31, 9:42 - clear influence of tread and surface grip quality

The StepMaster Cruiser has captured my heart; I was rooting for it 200% in every category.

Love the head-to-head type videos!

Beetle Bot finally won one! Good job little fella!

Immediately liked beetlebot. So proud he won the tug of war.

Okay but I love that the big winners were the steampunk-esque wheels like the goldensnail (which was basically gears for wheels) the springy spiral wheels, and the giant stepper, like it honestly gives creative inspiration

here's the "real challenge" we want to see... Dr. Engine vs Brick Experiment Channel

Dr. Suess would be proud of the Step Master

I immediately hit the like button when I saw that light!

I honestly think the dominator could have won the tug of war if it didn't have those things on its tracks

"beat that" *moon walk -stepmaster cruiser-

The stepmaster - a weapon to surpass metal gear.

Deformable and rubbery wins the day.

Goldengrip snail and milkyway are both amazing, they did all challenges and are strong in the tug of war.

there is a reason us humans use tracks for heavy terrain and this was a nice showcase. And these tracks were made out of slippery lego plastic. A proper more grippy material would show true power of this indominable way of transportation!

sometimes im a golden snail sometimes im a seige strider

gear runner 6x6

>Stairway stepmaster: "am i a joke to you"

9:00 SERTIFIED HEEE HEEE MOMENT

Milky Wheel, GoldenGrip Snail and StepMaster Cruiser are clearly the best designs

I think the GG snail is a solid design, it's like a SHERP. The beetle was also a fascinating concept along with the stepmaster! Siege strider may do better with a speed reduction. Such a fun video this makes me want to go invest in a bunch of technic.

In the tug of war, gear runner 6X6 would have destroyed the beetle bot if it had the same grippy wheels.

I feel like the dual track dominator would fare a bit better of the plastic wedges were rubber, since it looked like the DTD lacked grip on the TOW.

surprised how well the steppy fella did. good for it

I think if the skids on the bottom of the Dual Track Dominator were TPU, it would have held on better and beaten Beetle bot.

MilkyWay was my favourite but not by much before GoldenSnail and StepMaster. Tug of war on loose slippery ground would be nice. Stepmaster could use rubberized feet. Also great inspiration for some new Mars rovers

Man the Golden Grip Snail dominated all of em, and then the beetle came along with an amazing comeback! Wow!

The GoldenGrip Snail was actually very good, because it has bigger wheels, it has more space on the ground. The "DualTrack Dominator" could be a lot better if: You added 2 springs in a V shape for each axle, made it a single track, and found a rubber-like surface to attach to the tracks for grip. Basically, make it a tank. - Something completely unrelated, if you added pontoons to the creation (with my addons, of course!) then added a retractable propeller, it's a boat :D - EDIT - offsetting EACH stepmaster's wheels could alter the performance on the steps and hillclimb!

"Milky Wheel" looks like galaxy the Milky Way :)

If the DualTrack Dominator had those teeth made of rubber, he would destroy that Golden Snail 8(

Step master cruiser is super cool only slicing in grip so the hill climb I was surprised and the tug o war didn’t expect it to last as long as it did

stepmaster cruiser would actually be genius irl also

I figured that the TPU tires would win.

For tug of wars... need to level playing field of having them same weights... and rubber grips

i love seige strider he is me and I love how hard he tried and against all odds he's still here and his gears didn't slip like milky wheels

Give the "Stepmaster Cruiser" some traction instead of super smooth feet and it'd probably walk over everything in the tug of war. (See what I did there?)
