00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.120
I might only be a man. Small, small man.

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:06.960
But with one full day of professional lawn mowing experience,

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.440
I think I can kick the ass of that robotic lawn mowing machine.

00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:13.760
Yeah, like you could even find its ass, you virgin.

00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.360
The Luba 2 All-Wheel Drive 5000X from our sponsor Mimotion will turn you to mulch.

00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:24.640
Is that a challenge? You bet it is. And here's your first one.

00:00:24.640 --> 00:00:28.800
Oh, great. You can mow a lawn, but can you mow a picture?

00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:34.560
And a scale drawing of the LTT logo. Why yes, I think I can. Let's go.

00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.280
The first challenge is all about precision. Linus will be using his push mower to mow the

00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:52.080
LTT logo into this random dunes lawn. He doesn't have all day, but the name of the game here is

00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:55.760
precision. So to help him, we provided him with these flags and tape. And we've already set a

00:00:55.760 --> 00:00:59.200
flag in the middle and at the edge of the mowing area, so he has an idea of what the radius is.

00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.560
For me, this is easy. I just load up the app where I can change all sorts of settings,

00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:07.440
like the cut height, pattern and mower speed. Then I hit this button and we're off to the races.

00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:09.280
Now I'm going to find something refreshing to drink.

00:01:11.520 --> 00:01:14.960
He doesn't even know that we gave him a little measure thing. I just didn't tell him about it.

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:19.840
Damn it. Longer steps. Okay.

00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:23.760
I've calibrated my steps. Every step like this is a meter.

00:01:23.760 --> 00:01:28.160
This is going to be child's play. The play of a child.

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:35.680
Have fun. Your team has the flag. Flag dropped. Your team has the flag. Flag dropped.

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:43.280
Oh, I didn't even know this was here. That would have been helpful or whatever. I'm doing paces now.

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:48.000
The plan is to map out my landmarks. So that there is this corner of the circle.

00:01:48.960 --> 00:01:52.960
Shut up. Circles can have corners. So far it looks like we're off to a pretty

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:57.200
winning start with the robot, but I'm worried that once Linus gets going, he's going to have

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.840
a lot of speed because look at how fast that thing goes versus if you have something with

00:02:01.840 --> 00:02:06.880
like a big blade that you're pushing. I mean, at least I'm not breaking a sweat out here.

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:13.680
Might not look like much, but I've got the concept of a plan here with eight flags marking

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:18.320
the eight corners of a circle. Let's see if I can pull this off.

00:02:19.600 --> 00:02:22.880
I mean, if the flag fits, I must have quit, right?

00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:34.720
What's he doing? Is he not mowing? Okay. So then straight and gentle curve into this flag,

00:02:34.880 --> 00:02:44.560
then steeper curve. What? How does that make any sense? Oh my God, this is way off.

00:02:47.040 --> 00:02:53.280
This isn't even close. Oh crap. How's it going chief? Great. Never better. That's good. Oh my

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:57.040
God. Oh God. Okay. I'm not going to look at that. I'm just going to relax real quick.

00:02:59.200 --> 00:03:02.640
How do you relax quick? It's not really relaxing if you're doing it quickly.

00:03:03.120 --> 00:03:06.800
Boom. Power naps. Boom. Boom.

00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:13.680
Oh shoot. It's not even close.

00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:20.000
Oh no.

00:03:32.640 --> 00:03:46.720
Definitely getting in my steps. I had this idea where I was going to have like

00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:50.480
the whole grid mapped out and everything. I think I give up on that. I just need to get

00:03:50.480 --> 00:03:54.320
the edges of my circle marked. What are you doing? You're taking all your flags out.

00:03:55.280 --> 00:04:02.800
Look, I'm, I tried precision. Now I'm going free ball. See, that's what a robot can't do.

00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:07.840
Creativity. I mean, a robot doesn't need to wear underwear. So why would it have to free ball?

00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:14.640
That's when you don't wear underwear so your balls. This is how confident I am. I'm just going for it.

00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:24.240
Seriously? You might have to lift it up, but you might have to lift it up a little bit. Lift it up.

00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.960
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, the cut height.

00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:40.800
Hey Sean, how's my circle? It's, um,

00:04:41.760 --> 00:04:47.200
shut up. It's very circular. Um, there's, I don't get it. Is it in there?

00:04:57.120 --> 00:05:02.640
There. Can you see it now? It's, uh, you've got to be kidding me. That's a live view. Yeah.

00:05:02.640 --> 00:05:07.520
Hey, there's the part of the circle right there. What the hell? I can see it. You can see it and

00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:11.360
make it. See, it's right there. You're doing great. We'll fix it in post. Yeah. Don't worry.

00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:13.680
I mean, bring it close to your screen. Yeah. Yeah.

00:05:18.080 --> 00:05:22.240
Also what might be, is that your cut height's not super even. The blade might be a little dull.

00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.160
I did bring a file if you want to sharpen it.

00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:31.600
I didn't know it was dull. James told me that when I picked it up from him.

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:48.640
I don't know how it happened, but I'm off by a whole meter from center on this side.

00:05:48.640 --> 00:05:50.240
So it's going to be kind of egg-shaped.

00:05:52.640 --> 00:06:00.800
One, two, three, four, five, six, boom. Linus, it's almost done. It's not about speed, Adam.

00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.840
It's about precision. It's a little bit of both. And I think it's more precise than you as well.

00:06:07.840 --> 00:06:12.720
Two and a bit. At this point, the Luba 2 has finished the entire design and is now going to

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.640
go back and forth trying to mow the rest of the lawn. I guess we'll let it get a head start on

00:06:16.640 --> 00:06:21.920
the next challenge. I finalized my plan. I'm going around with flags and then I'm marking where all

00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:28.960
the flags are. This should give me enough landmarks that I can kind of eyeball the rest of it, I think.

00:06:30.080 --> 00:06:34.000
Okay, this robot might have been done 10 minutes ago and that might not look like much,

00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.280
but wait till you see the result.

00:06:37.840 --> 00:06:48.960
Is this the L? No? He's putting it upside down. It's okay, we'll fix it in post.

00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:52.800
No Ls here, boys. Only Ws.

00:06:57.600 --> 00:07:02.160
I'm just going to fluff up this area a bit. Did you accidentally mow too far?

00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:04.880
That's why Jesus made erasers, all right.

00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:17.760
I'm actually pretty proud of this. It's not bad. It's not perfect, but it's not bad.

00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:23.280
It took you about an extra 30 minutes, but from here it looks really good, honestly.

00:07:23.280 --> 00:07:28.880
I'm pretty impressed. It's not like as good as the robots, but it's also a stupid competition.

00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:34.880
Who would do this? Aliens? I mean, maybe you're stuck on a desert island and all you

00:07:34.880 --> 00:07:42.400
have is a robot and a lawn. Right. Okay, this could say SOS. I want a rematch, just mowing the lawn.

00:07:42.400 --> 00:07:47.120
Fine, you got a second challenge. Let's do it. I really have to be on my tiptoes too. Okay, fine.

00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:56.240
Oh man, the camera really doesn't capture it, but it's not bad. It's really not bad.

00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.600
So you got absolutely destroyed in that first challenge, but you have a chance to make it

00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:05.520
up with challenge number two. This is just a full mow. Okay. Time is what's most important,

00:08:05.520 --> 00:08:10.880
but precision also matters. I want to see good lines. Okay. Oh yeah. Sweet. Three, two, one, go.

00:08:10.880 --> 00:08:15.680
No, that's not, I do it. Three, two, one, go.

00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:28.800
Go, go, go faster. Dude, all I'm missing is some cake and then this would be a cake walk.

00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:35.840
I'm going to be done so much faster. I've already done as wide a path here, except I've done the

00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:41.120
entire perimeter that wide and it's still just on the first couple of passes. Take that machines,

00:08:41.840 --> 00:08:47.920
making Skynet my bitch. Suck it, Adam. Yeah, okay. I'm playing Bellatra right now.

00:08:47.920 --> 00:08:53.760
Admittedly, the concentric square D-Leo that I have going on here is a little unconventional,

00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:58.560
but I think I'm going to lean into it rather than reverse course at this point.

00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:18.000
Hey, do we have another battery for this thing? Did you run out? Oh,

00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:21.520
we should have charged that on our break. He hasn't even moved. He's not,

00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:27.920
he's not trying to help at all. Look at, get this. No, I'm trying to pause my robo. It's only fair.

00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.760
So this bad boy just ran out of battery and that's something you don't have to worry about

00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:37.280
with the motion because it will automatically go back to its dock to recharge itself. You don't

00:09:37.280 --> 00:09:51.280
have to think about it at all. I gotta say, as much as I'm obviously clowning on it in terms of speed,

00:09:51.280 --> 00:09:56.000
it's not by as much as I thought. Like that should be done in a couple of hours, I think, right?

00:09:56.880 --> 00:10:02.240
Probably less. And I get to just play Bellatro. Flush five, baby.

00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:20.320
Let's go. No way. Yeah, what's up now? No, but I put in so little effort.

00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:24.720
I'm just upset I didn't get to finish Bellatro in time. Looks good. Good job, Linus.

00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:32.400
Thank you. That makes this a tie now. That's a problem. Is it though? Because we didn't have a

00:10:32.400 --> 00:10:38.880
tie breaking competition. Here, I have an idea. Whoever paid for this video is the winner. And

00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:44.800
that's our sponsor, Momotion. Way to go, Momotion. You're the winner of today's challenge. Yeah,

00:10:44.800 --> 00:10:51.200
but I paid you. In a last minute upset, it turns out that Linus Sebastian is the winner. Way to go,

00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:57.440
Linus Sebastian. Momotion paid me. In a last minute, last minute upset, upset, it turns out that Momotion

00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.320
is again the winner. Whoo.
