WEBVTT

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:05.600
I might only be a man. Small, small man.

00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:11.120
But with one full day of professional lawnmowing experience, I think I can

00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:12.719
kick the ass of that robotic lawnmowing

00:00:11.120 --> 00:00:16.440
machine. Yeah, like you can even find its ass, you virgin.

00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:23.039
The Luba 2 all-wheel drive 5000X from our sponsor, Mimotion, will turn you to

00:00:20.800 --> 00:00:27.920
mulch. Is that a challenge? You bet it is. And here's your first one. Oh,

00:00:25.279 --> 00:00:34.160
great. You can mow a lawn, but can you mow a picture? and a scale drawing of

00:00:30.720 --> 00:00:37.559
the LT logo. Why yes, I think I can.

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:37.559
Let's go.

00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:50.719
Lionus is competing against the Motion Aluba 2 5000X all-wheel drive, a

00:00:48.239 --> 00:00:56.320
top-of-the-line robotic lawn mower. It's equipped with two powerful cutting discs

00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:58.800
that provide a 15.7 in cut width and 165

00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:03.600
watts of cutting power. The 12 A battery allows this machine to mow for 13,000

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:07.360
square ft in a single charge. All of these features that Lionus just doesn't

00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:10.880
have. The first challenge is all about precision. Lionus will be using his push

00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:14.560
mower to mow the LT logo into this random dude's lawn. He doesn't have all

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:17.840
day, but the name of the game here is precision. So, to help him, we provided

00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:20.479
him with these flags and tape. And we've already set a flag in the middle and at

00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.840
the edge of the mowing area, so he has an idea of what the radius is. For me,

00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.720
this is easy. I just load up the app where I can change all sorts of settings like the cut height, pattern, and mower

00:01:26.880 --> 00:01:34.000
speed. Then I hit this button and we're off to the races. Now I'm going to find

00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:35.600
something refreshing to drink.

00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:44.240
He doesn't even know that we gave him a little measure thing. I just didn't tell him about it. Damn it. Take longer

00:01:40.720 --> 00:01:46.640
steps. Okay, I've calibrated my steps.

00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:53.520
Every step like this is a meter. This is going to be child's play. The play of a

00:01:49.920 --> 00:01:57.200
child. Have fun. Your team has the flag.

00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:59.920
Flag dropped. Your team has the flag.

00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:03.840
Flag dropped. Oh, I didn't even know this was here.

00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:08.720
That would have been helpful, but whatever. I'm doing paces now. The plan

00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:14.239
is to map out my landmarks. So, that there is this corner of the circle. Shut

00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:17.599
up. Circles can have corners. So far, it looks like we're off to a pretty winning

00:02:15.840 --> 00:02:21.200
start with the robot, but I'm worried that once Lionus gets going, he's going

00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:25.120
to have a lot of speed because look at how fast that thing goes versus if you

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:28.959
have something with like a big blade that you're pushing.

00:02:27.680 --> 00:02:32.800
I mean, at least I'm not breaking a sweat out here.

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:38.319
Might not look like much, but I've got the concept of a plan here with eight

00:02:34.959 --> 00:02:40.640
flags marking the eight corners of a

00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.800
circle. Let's see if I can pull this off.

00:02:42.160 --> 00:02:51.280
I mean, if the flag fits, I must have quits, right?

00:02:47.920 --> 00:02:56.480
What's he doing? Is he not mowing? Okay,

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:59.599
so then straight, then gentle curve into

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:03.599
this flag,

00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:06.159
then steeper curve. What?

00:03:03.599 --> 00:03:11.360
How does that make any sense? Oh my god, this is way off.

00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:16.480
This isn't even close. Oh crap. How's it going, chief? Great.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:19.360
Never better. That's good. Oh my god. Oh god. Oh, okay. I'm not going to look at

00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:23.760
that. I'm just going to relax real quick.

00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:28.959
How do you relax quick? It's not really relaxing if you're doing it quickly.

00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:31.959
Boom. Power naps. Boom.

00:03:28.959 --> 00:03:31.959
Boom.

00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:38.680
Oh, shoot. It's not even close.

00:03:41.840 --> 00:04:02.739
Oh no.

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.560
Definitely getting in my steps. Um, I had this idea where I was going to have

00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:14.000
like the whole grid mapped out and everything. I think I give up on that. I

00:04:12.480 --> 00:04:19.840
just need to get the edges of my circle marked. What? What are you doing? You're

00:04:15.760 --> 00:04:23.600
taking all your flags out. Look, I'm I

00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:26.400
tried precision. Now I'm going freeball.

00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:29.759
See, that's what a robot can't do. Creativity. I mean, a robot doesn't need

00:04:28.400 --> 00:04:34.320
to wear underwear, so why would it have to freeball?

00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:39.680
That's when you don't wear underwear so your balls. This is how confident I am.

00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:42.680
I'm just going for it.

00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.680
Seriously.

00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:52.199
You might have to lift it up. You might have to lift it up a little bit. Lift it up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, the

00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:52.199
cut height.

00:05:00.320 --> 00:05:07.280
Hey, Sean. How's my circle? Uh, it's um

00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:09.520
Shut up. It's very circularly um there's

00:05:07.280 --> 00:05:14.360
Wait, is it I don't get it. Is it in there? Wait, no. Is it there?

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.840
There. Can you see it now? Uh, it's uh You got to be kidding me. That's a live

00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:29.840
view. Yeah, that's Hey, there's the part of the circle right there. What the

00:05:27.440 --> 00:05:32.800
hell? Yeah, I can see it. You can see it and they can you see it's right there.

00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:39.000
You're doing great. We'll fix it in post. Yeah. Yeah. Don't worry. Oh, yeah. Maybe bring them close to your screen.

00:05:35.039 --> 00:05:39.000
Yeah. No.

00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:45.360
Also, what might be is that your cut height's not super even. You The blade

00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:49.479
might be a little dull. I did bring a file if you want to sharpen it.

00:05:50.320 --> 00:05:57.000
I I didn't know it was dull. James told me that when I picked it up from him.

00:06:06.639 --> 00:06:12.160
I don't know how it happened, but I'm off by a whole meter from center on this

00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:15.160
side. So, it's going to be kind of eggshaped.

00:06:15.199 --> 00:06:23.520
1 2 3 4 5 6 boom. Lionus, it's almost

00:06:21.120 --> 00:06:27.840
done. It's not about speed, Adam. It's about precision. It's a little bit of

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:32.639
both. And I think it's more precise than you as well.

00:06:30.319 --> 00:06:36.240
Two and a bit. One of the advantages that the Luba has over Linus' all-wheel

00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:39.280
drive. The wheels on this thing can spin across two axis, allowing the mower to

00:06:38.160 --> 00:06:43.919
turn in place instead of doing that stupid little like wiggle lance that you have to do when you don't have a

00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:47.919
birectional mower. And the wheels have enough power that this thing can handle

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:51.680
an 80% slope. That's a steep freaking hill. Meanwhile, the design that the

00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:55.680
Luba is mowing is shaping up really well thanks to the three key technologies

00:06:53.280 --> 00:07:00.000
that work together to deliver centimeter level precision. The first one is GPS.

00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:05.280
By using satellites, the lawn mower is able to cover up to 1.25

00:07:02.639 --> 00:07:08.479
acres. But you're probably thinking, how is that precise enough to be able to

00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:13.199
handle the complex curves of a well manicured lawn? It's not, which is where

00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:15.680
the real time kinematics comes in. If you've ever seen a guy in a yellow vest

00:07:14.479 --> 00:07:20.639
at the side of the road looking like this, then you've seen the godly power

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.479
of real-time kinematics or RTK. Basically, by putting a base station in

00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:27.680
a known consistent position, we can use it as a means to correct positioning

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:32.000
errors from the satellites that are thousands of meters away. But this

00:07:29.759 --> 00:07:35.039
system still requires both the mower and the base station to have a GPS signal.

00:07:33.759 --> 00:07:40.080
So, what happens if the mower goes somewhere where a GPS signal is compromised, like under dense tree

00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:44.319
cover? That's where the Luba 2's Ultra Sense AI vision system comes in. Using a

00:07:42.319 --> 00:07:48.560
pair of cameras, the Luba 2 gets 3D vision, allowing it to navigate even

00:07:46.080 --> 00:07:52.960
more accurately. And it can mow in areas without satellite signals without

00:07:50.080 --> 00:07:56.240
getting lost up to 300 m. When the signal is restored, it can use its

00:07:54.400 --> 00:07:59.599
stored map data to get back on track. And it also allows the robot to set up

00:07:57.919 --> 00:08:03.199
visual fences with no need to lay out magnetic wires or lines for the robot to

00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:08.560
know where it should be. The only reason we set this out was just so that you could see from the sky whose half of the

00:08:06.479 --> 00:08:12.800
lawn is whose. All of this, plus smart obstacle avoidance, allow the Lubatu to

00:08:10.319 --> 00:08:17.120
cut right up to edges within 5 cm of walls and to dodge any sort of obstacles

00:08:14.960 --> 00:08:20.240
that may be on your lawn. At this point, the Lubetu has finished the entire

00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:23.280
design and is now going to go back and forth trying to mow the rest of the

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:27.919
lawn. I guess we'll let it get a head start on the next challenge. I finalized

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:31.039
my plan. I'm going around with flags and then I'm marking where all the flags

00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:37.839
are. This should give me enough landmarks that I can kind of eyeball the

00:08:34.159 --> 00:08:39.519
rest of it, I think. Okay, his robot

00:08:37.839 --> 00:08:44.919
might have been done 10 minutes ago, and that might not look like much, but wait

00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:44.919
till you see the result.

00:08:49.519 --> 00:08:57.920
Is this the L? No, he's putting it upside down. It's

00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:02.200
okay. We'll fix it in post. No L's here,

00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:02.200
boys. Only W's.

00:09:04.480 --> 00:09:09.360
I'm just going to fluff up this area a bit.

00:09:07.839 --> 00:09:14.680
Did you accidentally mow too far? That's why uh it's why Jesus made erasers. All

00:09:11.680 --> 00:09:14.680
right.

00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:27.279
I'm actually pretty proud of this. It's not bad. It's not perfect, but it's not

00:09:24.560 --> 00:09:31.760
bad. Took you about an extra 30 minutes, but from here it looks really good.

00:09:29.360 --> 00:09:36.399
Honestly, I'm pretty impressed. It's not like as good as the robots, but it's

00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:41.200
also a stupid competition. Who would do this? Uh, you aliens.

00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:46.640
I mean, maybe you're stuck on a desert island and all you have is a robot and a

00:09:42.959 --> 00:09:49.360
lawn, right? Okay, this could say SOS. I

00:09:46.640 --> 00:09:52.800
want a rematch. Just mowing the lawn. Fine. You got a second challenge. Let's

00:09:50.959 --> 00:09:58.560
do it. Wow. I really have to be on my tiptoes to Okay, fine.

00:09:55.839 --> 00:10:03.680
Oh, man. The camera really doesn't capture it, but it's it's not bad.

00:10:01.680 --> 00:10:06.320
It's really not bad. So, you got absolutely destroyed in that first

00:10:04.880 --> 00:10:11.839
challenge, but you have a chance to make it up with challenge number two. This is

00:10:08.399 --> 00:10:13.279
just a full mo. Okay. Time is what's

00:10:11.839 --> 00:10:18.320
most important, but precision also matters. I want to see good lines. Okay.

00:10:15.200 --> 00:10:21.200
Oh, yeah. Sweet. 3 2 1 go. No, that's

00:10:18.320 --> 00:10:25.480
not I do it. 3 2 1 go.

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:34.560
Go, go, go faster. Dude, all I'm missing

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:41.279
is some cake and then this would be a cakewalk. I'm going to be done so much

00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:43.279
faster. I've already done as wide a path

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:47.600
here. Except I've done the entire perimeter that wide and it's still just

00:10:45.040 --> 00:10:53.440
on the first couple passes. Take that machines making Skynet my Suck

00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:58.079
it, Adam. Yeah. Okay. I'm playing Bellatro right now. Admittedly, the

00:10:55.760 --> 00:11:03.279
concentric square dio that I have going on here is a little unconventional,

00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:07.800
but I think I'm going to lean into it rather than reverse course at this

00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:07.800
point.

00:11:20.000 --> 00:11:25.200
Oi, do we have another battery for this

00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:29.600
thing? Did you run out? Oh, we should have charged that on our break. He

00:11:26.959 --> 00:11:34.320
hasn't even moved. He's not He's not trying to help at all. Look at Get this.

00:11:31.839 --> 00:11:38.000
No, I'm trying to pause my Robo. It's only fair. So, this bad boy just ran out

00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:44.160
of battery. And that's something you don't have to worry about with the Motion because it will automatically go

00:11:41.040 --> 00:11:45.360
back to its dock to recharge itself. You

00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:50.560
don't have to think about it at all. Now, Mimotion doesn't just make lawnmowers for massive lawns. If you've

00:11:48.880 --> 00:11:53.680
got something a little bit more, well, normal size, you could always consider

00:11:52.000 --> 00:11:58.320
their Yuka lineup. It's got the same name as my cat. And just like him, they

00:11:56.240 --> 00:12:02.480
love eating grass. But Motion promises that this one won't vomit it up on my

00:12:00.079 --> 00:12:05.600
carpet after it's done. And they also promise that they're going

00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.160
to be giving away five of these if you just follow the instructions down in the

00:12:07.040 --> 00:12:15.700
description. That's right. You have a chance to win one of five of them.

00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:25.600
I got to say, as much as I'm obviously clowning on it in terms of speed, it's

00:12:23.519 --> 00:12:31.200
not by as much as I thought. Like, that should be done in a couple hours, I

00:12:27.600 --> 00:12:36.920
think. Right. Probably less. And I get

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:36.920
to just play Batro Flush five, baby.

00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:52.560
Let's go. No way. Yeah. What's up now?

00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:54.320
No. But I put in so little effort. I'm

00:12:52.560 --> 00:12:59.600
just upset I didn't get to finish Batro in time. Looks good. Good job, Lionus.

00:12:56.880 --> 00:13:05.120
Aw, thank you. Yeah, that makes this a tie now. That's a problem. Is it though?

00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:10.320
Cuz we didn't have a tie breaking competition. Here, I have an idea.

00:13:07.600 --> 00:13:15.600
Whoever paid for this video is the winner. And that's our sponsor, Motion.

00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:20.959
Way to go, Motion. You're the winner of today's challenge. Yeah, but I paid you

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:25.680
in a last minute upset. It turns out that Lionus Sebastian is the winner. Way

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:30.000
