this episode of holy sh is going to be a little unusual because I don't have
anything nope we had a special guest this is Michael S and he has brought
with him the HMC Galahad a 3D
printed the kinetic sculpture robot
whatever you want to call it that if you factor in his labor at even a mere 20
bucks an hour is worth over
7,000 us
tunnel bear is the easy to ouse VPN service that lets you use the web as

for free at the link in the video
description let's start with a breakdown of that cost because to print something
to this degree of quality and at this size would require a 3D printer costing
about A4 million about $3,000 of that
cost of the machine went to shapeways there's about another $200 in the cost
of the electronics that run the whole thing including the 18 freaking servos
not to mention the vibration Motors and all of that stuff and then by my rough
napkin math about $4,000 of it is in the
detailing which we'll get into in a little bit more detail later in terms of
other key specs the HMC Galahad has six
legs six genuinely moving legs by the way including access hatches doors and
Windows all of which open it's got 24
guns along the bottom half of its egg
likee structure most of which are anti-personnel type weapons then it has
an additional nine guns in the top half
including two very very large cannons it
has search lights in the top that actually move and are also capable of
being shuttered just in case you know you don't want them to get shot out by
an attacker or whatever the case may be and it includes even amazingly cool
little details like check this out there's a service staircase or an access
staircase for someone to get up into the top rotating turret which I guess leads
us pretty well into a tour of some of the other Immaculate details that went
into the creation of this I'm afraid to call it a product Cuz Mr Sing has only
created two of them so far the main gun here which actually fires by the way is
rifled on the inside of the barrel if you come around to the back you can see
we've actually got some soldiers that are that are that are Manning the uh the
HMS Galahad here when the engine smoke
goes there's actually some lighting back here it's got a 7.4v 3700 milliamp
battery that is enough to run it for a while but it doesn't deliver enough
current to run everything concurrently so all the switches back here allow you
to run certain things but not others because this is more of a demo than
anything else moving around over to this side check this out just these little
things are so cute these are accupuncture needles right here that are
acting as a little antenna here and of course I've been glossing over the
Fantastic weathered warn rusted paint
job that's going on here that accounted for something to the tune of 180 to 2
200 hours of the construction time the actual assembly only took a couple of
days function number one we're going to put the Galahad into what I'm going to
call Sentry
mode there we go and what you're going to see is the top turret is going to
start to slowly rotate looking for a
Target when it sees a Target
look at that it fires next up we've got most of the rest
of the guns so most of the ones along
the bottom are on vibration Motors so they look like they got that firing
action but some of them actually have a a similar firing in Bank sort of
mechanism going on the gatlings on the left rotate realistically and the right
ARM gun this one's cool this one actually has a recoil action that
includes the legs moving as well demo
number three yes my friends it walks although I don't know if uh walk is as
appropriate a term as Lumber would be
look at the way look at the way it moves the whole thing shifts around very
cool which leads us to the big finish
which as you guys always know involves the uh biggest gun and the largest load
this well it's a pingpong ball but it looks like a cannonball right here and
fire oh there it
goes okay the angles need to be tweaked a little bit we get that but uh there
you have it folks this is the HMS
Galahad by far the coolest and most
expensive robot toy kinetic sculpture
