    Isn’t engineering fun? Jeremy Fielding and I had a blast with the mad batter, and it looks like you guys had fun with the batcopter! The sounds of that thing brought back terrifying memories. Congratulations guys! May God continue to bless your efforts. P.S. Stay safe and pile some dirt up in front of that container!

    Yeah, theres got to be some sort of ruleset, otherwise you could just do any stupid thing that hits a ball and call it a home run. Not only did Destin do it with legal bats, but he also did it in a regulation field too, not that that makes TOO much difference, but it is what it is. Regulation bats from home base on a regulation field, vs... some crazy weird metal rod helicopter looking thing in a backwoods clearing. *shrug*

    The Batcopter was built to be able to hit all sorts of stuff which is why it’s so big! Yes we wanted to hit a ball farther than Destin but that was only the Batcopter’s first challenge. We wanted to make a versatile machine that could also hit larger/heavier balls like basketballs, soccer balls etc really far so we can do even harder challenges. This is why in the engineers simulations it shows those bigger balls and not baseballs. Lots more cool stuff coming from the Batcopter everyone, how good!

    I would say the ball hit at a 1000 rpm bat would be far to expensive to do. The impact at that speed would destroy the bat, the ball probably would be damaged as well. And with the ball damaged hang time would be limited, so I would say a ball smacked at a 1000 rpm would go 3 80 and 424 meters. As on paper it could go 500 meter.

    The subtle Jokes either editor Jack or the boys put in post production - such as Herron hearing "240m", and then going "OH 230!", so the confused "230?" flashes across the video, perfectly commenting on the confusion (11:35) -- is such an underrated part of the HR videos that I just adore

Like on the hitting golf balls through stuff (first one) styro Steve, white board etc asked how many attempts it’s gonna take him to hit the golf ball, Herron says “I’ll hit it” and up pops ‘you sure mate?’ 🤣🤣🤣

    Yeah, some crazy custom metal tube/rod thing made to look crazily like a helicopter, in a backwoods clearing... vs regulation bats from home base on a regulation field. My bet is that regardless of how far these guys knocked a ball, its A: not considered a home run... and B: wont qualify against destins. This is pretty neat though, but i really hate when people try to piggy back something and say its one thing, when its really not. =T

    I love thinking about that too, think about the elastic reaction that would occur if they used a pitching machine at even 50mph in addition to bats or tubes spinning at such a insane rate of speed. It's crazy to think how much more velocity they can achieve by adding in some velocity on the other end. At that point we would have to consider even the structural integrity of the ball as I am sure the covers strings inside the baseball would begin to tear and split with such an intense elastic reaction. I'm honestly surprised they didn't have the covers come off a few of the baseballs they used in this videos already without having added velocity on the other end.
