00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.919
I am entering the Battlebots Arena. And in just a few minutes, I'm going to be

00:00:04.560 --> 00:00:10.639
competing in UFB5, an ultimate robot

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:16.160
kickboxing showdown. This place is unbelievably cool. Incredible workshop,

00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:20.720
incredible people, and packed to the gills with famous bots, including one

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:26.480
from a fellow Canadian and friend of mine, the Hacksmith, who, foreshadowing,

00:00:24.160 --> 00:00:28.880
we might run into later. They're letting people in now, and the atmosphere is

00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:33.280
electric. Surely my squishy human form is not

00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:38.160
going to be expected to fight robots, right? Let's go meet my bot. He's a

00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:43.360
Unitary G1, standing at 4'3, [music] so just a little shorter than me, 77 lb

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:48.079
with 3° of freeman in his shoulder joints and 2° of freedom in his elbow

00:00:45.680 --> 00:00:53.199
joints. And he's going to need it. He's got a top speed of 7 [music] kmh, but uh

00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:58.399
he won't be using that because it turns out that running away in this fight is

00:00:55.520 --> 00:01:02.239
actually going to be a foul. So, how do we win? Each match is three rounds, and

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:07.040
you [music] win a round either by knocking over your opponent or landing

00:01:04.559 --> 00:01:10.159
the most punches in 30 seconds. Good luck, buddy. I feel like we're going to

00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:15.119
need it just like I'm going to need this segue. Yeah. Yeah. Good [music] job to

00:01:12.880 --> 00:01:18.000

00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:44.720
I am so glad I signed up for this. It's tech check day and some of the other

00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:48.320
competitors are getting their training for how to use the motion controls over

00:01:46.399 --> 00:01:52.479
there. [music] And this looks freaking wild. like they're punching, they're

00:01:50.320 --> 00:01:56.640
kicking, and then they've actually got one of the little unitry robots in there

00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:59.280
that's mirroring their motions. I was pretty worried when I thought the

00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.960
controls were going to be with a controller. But now that I know that

00:02:00.960 --> 00:02:06.799
it's like physical controls and it tracks your body,

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:11.120
I think maybe I could [music] do some damage. Let's go check out how the setup works.

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:16.319
>> Our goal is to capture your motion and transfer your motions and basically how

00:02:14.239 --> 00:02:19.680
you feel and experience to the robot. Okay, for the first part of the training

00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:24.560
session, they've given me my robot controller. Yes, it's a Joy-Con.

00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:29.440
And you can see the joystick is configured to either rotate the bot or

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:33.120
walk him forward and back. There is a bit of a delay, but I've been assured

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:36.239
that if he gets out of control, this is bulletproof glass, so I'm going to be

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:40.959
completely safe. >> Yeah, >> probably. >> Probably. Now, I'm going to learn how to

00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:44.640
use the camerabased motion controls to throw some punches. And apparently in

00:02:43.440 --> 00:02:49.200
the finals, we're allowed to throw kicks. Ah,

00:02:47.840 --> 00:02:52.480
I'm not going to make it to the finals. Almost touch your chest. >> Okay.

00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:56.640
>> Yeah. And then you can throw high punches and then the kick, the further

00:02:55.200 --> 00:03:00.200
back you are. And the higher the kick, the better it will work.

00:03:03.402 --> 00:03:09.360
[music] Just reconnected to show you try again.

00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:15.560
One of the >> Oh, he's doing stuff. >> Yo, you're doing so much stuff.

00:03:12.239 --> 00:03:15.560
>> There he goes.

00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:22.000
It's off. >> Oh boy. I did not mean to attack that

00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:26.800
man. They don't know that my secret talent is to break any technology demo

00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:30.480
that I walk near. They should never have invited me. Apparently, they're having

00:03:28.400 --> 00:03:34.159
some intermittent Wi-Fi issues. So, what happened there was I [music] was trying

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:40.000
to do stuff and it was disconnected and then it reconnected and sent all the

00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:43.440
commands. So, naturally, out of all the places that he could have gone, he

00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:46.720
charged into the guy that was on a ladder in there. This is cool, though. I

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:51.360
didn't notice this before, but I actually get a POV camera of the robot's

00:03:49.599 --> 00:03:55.440
view. I don't know how usable that's going to be in the fight because there's

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:59.599
probably like a solid half a second to 1 second delay on movement and about a 2

00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:04.000
to 3 second delay on punching, but it's cool to see it. POV, you are about to be

00:04:01.519 --> 00:04:06.720
attacked by a robot and you are a robot. Man, this kind of stuff is so much more

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:10.400
chill when I'm not the one who's responsible for fixing the technology. I

00:04:08.959 --> 00:04:14.879
should do this kind of stuff way more often and do our own stuff way less

00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:21.440
often. Oh yeah. Oh, we got the kicks working, boys. Boom.

00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:23.840
Come on. Combo. Yeah. And kick. Let's

00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:27.120
go. Boom. All right. I think I got the hang of it. How do I turn him off? I

00:04:25.440 --> 00:04:31.120
don't want him to attack that guy. You good? >> Yeah. >> Okay. Okay. I got some ideas. I got some

00:04:29.863 --> 00:04:36.080
[music] ideas. No. No. We got to go find somewhere private. Okay. Hey, check

00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:40.639
this. No, no, you too. Not going to lie, the controls are a little bit delayed

00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:44.928
and the robot's balance a little sketch, especially while you're punching. So,

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:49.360
here's what I'm thinking. I become [music] the grappler.

00:04:46.880 --> 00:04:54.800
I just move toward my opponent, which gives me forward weight balance, let

00:04:52.560 --> 00:05:02.080
them hit me, and then when they go off balance, I just plow into them.

00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:05.600
Yeah. truly inspired by some of the least exciting but most effective

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.840
Battlebots matches I [music] ever watched. See, why do the work when your

00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:15.720
opponent can do the work for you? By the way, how cool is it that we get to be

00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:15.720
here for this?

00:05:16.880 --> 00:05:21.440
Wish I'd thought to wear a costume.

00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:25.440
>> Beautiful. >> He seems serious. I hope he's not in my bracket.

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:29.759
>> It's almost time for the first fight. And I got to say, the production here is

00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:33.680
amazing. The Battlebots crew is incredible. They gave me a piece of a

00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.960
battlebot. How cool is that? They showed me their high-powered Nerf blasters and

00:05:35.280 --> 00:05:40.320
stuff. I've been having so much fun. I haven't actually read the rule yet.

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:43.199
There's a lot more to this than I expected. That's fine. I got lots of

00:05:41.919 --> 00:05:46.960
time. I think I don't fight till the fourth match. Oh, hey. Hey, look. It's a

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:53.280
bunch of LMG people. >> I'm so excited for this. >> It's going to be a challenge.

00:05:50.880 --> 00:05:56.000
>> Landing a hit is going to be hard. Yeah. >> To our pilots.

00:05:54.400 --> 00:06:00.960
>> At least it's equal playing ground on both sides. Let's hope

00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:04.520
>> the opening play is done and it's time for the first match.

00:06:08.114 --> 00:06:14.719
[screaming] >> THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF.

00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:14.719
>> THE GLOVES ARE COMING OFF. [screaming]

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:23.440
>> Get him. >> Sweep away.

00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:27.360
>> It seems like our pilots are learning. They're improving.

00:06:24.639 --> 00:06:30.759
>> Come on, PUNCH HIM. OH, RIGHT. THAT'S THE END OF the round.

00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:39.520
>> Finus versus conflict. >> Who will it be entering into the

00:06:37.039 --> 00:06:43.840
semifinals? >> One red.

00:06:41.039 --> 00:06:46.080
>> Okay. Okay. Okay. Great contract there for Lionus.

00:06:44.880 --> 00:06:49.600
>> One for five. >> Final red is final 10.

00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:57.520
>> Here we go. >> Two. One for red. >> One zero. That's a round. You see how I

00:06:55.360 --> 00:07:05.360
did? If I can game on GeForce now, I can do this. >> 12 to eight. The blue corner.

00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:14.400
>> Lionus is victorious. >> I'm Linus. Tech tips. That's tech in

00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:15.840
there. This is my arena. Let's go.

00:07:14.400 --> 00:07:21.280
>> I've never been more proud of you in my entire life. >> Oh, wow. Okay. [laughter] That's either

00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:26.000
a nice thing to say or super bad. >> My expectations were here and you got

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:28.400
here. [laughter] Okay. Yeah. >> Not bad though.

00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:31.840
>> I felt like that was a pretty dominant performance. >> And you came back from behind. You got

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:38.000
disqualified in the first round. I mean, that second round he said it was scored

00:07:33.919 --> 00:07:38.639
12-2, but he he gave Red a lot more than

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:44.479
two points. >> I think so. >> So, I think there's something a little wonky going on.

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:46.560
>> I mean, listen, this isn't serious competition. Nobody's betting money on

00:07:46.240 --> 00:07:51.660
this. >> Uh, I did. My house is riding on this.

00:07:49.640 --> 00:07:51.660
[laughter]

00:07:53.680 --> 00:08:02.560
NO WAY. NO WAY. Crazy match. Upset loss.

00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:06.800
Hacksmith is out. By the way, we'll have my full fights over at LMG.gg/flowplane.

00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:13.639
>> Canada's honor. >> What happened? >> I don't know. >> They gave me the broken body.

00:08:10.080 --> 00:08:13.639
>> Oh, is that [cheering] me?

00:08:13.875 --> 00:08:18.720
[music] >> Do you think that you're going to have as easy of a time with this fight

00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:24.560
against Lionus? >> We'll see. He's pretty confident, but uh

00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:28.560
I don't see a belt on him. >> Wait, it's not even black.

00:08:27.759 --> 00:08:33.919
>> Uh-oh. Uh-oh. >> Uh-oh. Uh-oh. >> Uh-oh. You questioned Master Ken.

00:08:32.080 --> 00:08:37.839
>> It used to be black, but now it's covered in blood.

00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:43.320
>> Oh, >> this is tech and I'm about to give him

00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:43.320
my tips.

00:08:49.901 --> 00:08:57.839
>> [screaming] >> Yeah, LET'S GO.

00:08:54.480 --> 00:09:01.091
>> COME ON. KICK.

00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:01.091
>> Let's go. [screaming]

00:09:03.001 --> 00:09:10.261
[groaning] >> 74 for Red.

00:09:08.241 --> 00:09:16.160
[cheering] >> Going to the finals. Going to the

00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:19.360
finals. Let's go, guys. LET'S GO. LET'S

00:09:16.160 --> 00:09:21.200
GO. LET'S GO. [screaming]

00:09:19.360 --> 00:09:23.920
LET'S GO. >> FIGHT. >> OKAY.

00:09:22.640 --> 00:09:29.640
>> Here we go. >> We're Let's keep up with the momentum

00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:29.640
from last match.

00:09:30.160 --> 00:09:36.320
>> Oh, five. FOUR. [screaming]

00:09:34.160 --> 00:09:43.160
LET'S GO. >> OH, LET'S GO. LET'S GO. THAT'S TWO.

00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:43.160
>> EIGHT.

00:09:43.611 --> 00:09:48.906
>> [screaming] >> Lionus is our winner. [cheering]

00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:56.720
>> Congratulations, Lionus. >> Congratulations

00:09:54.560 --> 00:10:02.720
for being a champion of UVI. How does it feel? >> Feels great. It's uh it's it's mastery

00:09:59.680 --> 00:10:04.800
of the latency. That's the secret.

00:10:02.720 --> 00:10:08.240
>> CONGRATULATIONS AGAIN. >> You freaking won.

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:14.320
>> Was pretty cute. >> Oh, that's actually pretty cool. Yeah, >> you bought them and it's Oh,

00:10:13.760 --> 00:10:19.360
>> cool, right? >> Yeah, that's sweet. >> Apparently, we broke a robot spine. And

00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:24.880
by we, we mean me. So, which one was I? I had the red gloves, right? So,

00:10:22.160 --> 00:10:28.800
>> dude, this is this is crazy. So, my buddy had his head completely turned

00:10:26.880 --> 00:10:33.040
around, which made him really hard to orient. But you know what? Good job,

00:10:31.040 --> 00:10:36.240
man. You got me through. Uh, yeah. Careful. Okay, so what happened with

00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:42.079
this guy anyway? >> So, this part has snapped. Oh yeah. Oh

00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:44.800
wow. So what was probably the fall that got it then? Right.

00:10:42.800 --> 00:10:46.959
>> Well, I think it got slippery. >> I was trying to get up. It was slipped

00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:54.240
over. >> So that was part of my strategy is I was actually not going for the octagon.

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:57.760
>> I was trying to go for the transition between the grippy floor and the hard

00:10:56.560 --> 00:11:03.600
floor. >> We all know that the right man won.

00:11:01.760 --> 00:11:08.000
And we all know that the right man is going to tell you about our sponsor,

>> Sy. If you found yourself traveling for the holidays, or maybe you plan on being

00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:16.079
at CES come January, the last thing you want to deal with is a massive phone

00:11:14.320 --> 00:11:20.240
bill when you get home. International roaming charges from your phone carrier

00:11:17.920 --> 00:11:24.399
can be ridiculously expensive. And tracking down public Wi-Fi is often a

00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:28.240
lot easier said than being done. And you don't want to be scammed by buying a

00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:33.279
physical SIM from some random mall or an airport kiosk. SY offers eSIMs that keep

00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:38.640
you connected in over 200 different destinations at a much lower cost. The

00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:44.000
best part, convenience. Unlike other eims, you only need to install sy once.

00:11:42.079 --> 00:11:47.760
There's no need to swap for every single country you visit. So whether you're

00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:53.040
heading to just one city or country hopping, they offer regional plans that

00:11:49.760 --> 00:11:54.800
work on all Android and iOS devices. And

00:11:53.040 --> 00:11:58.959
if for whatever reason it doesn't work on your phone, SL will give you a full

00:11:57.040 --> 00:12:03.279

this video, man, we usually try to throw to another similar video, but I don't

00:12:14.639 --> 00:12:19.279
think we've ever quite done Oh, actually, yes. Go watch that video that

00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:24.240
nobody watched. >> Yeah. Back back in what, seven years ago? >> Yeah. Where Conflicts and I fought with

Super Anthony robots >> back in the day. >> Yeah. It was

00:12:26.880 --> 00:12:31.680
>> It was not this good. >> And 20 years from now, we'll be fighting again, right?

00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:35.760
>> Yeah. This time with giant mechs. Actually, the robots will be fighting us.
