I Made a Real Life Working Minecraft Snowman

I just built a real-life, working Snow Golem. Yo! Chill! And his name is Oleg. Oleg is decked out   with full metal tank treads powered by  four different motors. And this lets him   easily maneuver over any terrain… well, over most terrain. It’s controlled using this remote control  

That has a mounted screen. And this screen lets  you see the snowman’s point of view because   it’s connected to a camera on the snow golem’s face. So, basically, I can see what it sees. Speaking of its  

Face, if you take the pumpkin off, it reveals Oleg’s  true, interesting face. Woah! What does that say? Drop a like? Dude, that’s crazy! That’s the smartest  thing you’ve said all day Oleg! And after just   a couple months of designing it, 3d printing out  each individual part, buying and assembling more  

3d printers, connecting all the blocks together, welding without a welder, but with a soldering   iron, sanding the entire thing, painting it being  an absolute genius, and lastly the electros – that’s   short for electronics – I finished making the  world’s first real-life Minecraft Snow Golem.  

So, why is its name Oleg? I have no freaking clue. In my last video, my brother Joe raced against my   real-life Minecraft pig. I think you guys know  where I’m going with this. Three… two… one… go! Okay, so, obviously, that first race was just  a warm-up, because, I mean, Oleg didn’t even  

Stretch beforehand. But, now, he’s ready for the  real race. Three! Two! One! Go! “Oh no, I tripped!” Wow! So, that’s pretty crazy this thing can  actually go faster than a human. Whoa! Whoa! That’s crazy man it’s so fas- But he doesn’t just  have superhuman speed, he’s also amazing at sports.

Now at this point, you probably noticed that  there’s a little something missing from Oleg. BALLS!   Because I mean, who’s ever heard of  a real-life, fully working, Minecraft   Snow Golem that couldn’t shoot snowballs? That’d be ridiculous. But, how can I make  

It launch snowballs just like they do in  Minecraft? Well, to figure this out, I put   my silky smooth brain to work, and thought up a  solution. And when I say thought up a solution… I mean I watched a youtube video on exactly how  to make a snowball launch – Using this fan that  

I took out of a leaf blower and connecting it to  this pipe, I should be able to launch snowballs. But, wel,l this project’s kind of taken me so long  that it’s not exactly winter anymore. So, instead  

Of snowballs, I’ll be using these styrofoam balls  and it should be able to launch them pretty far. Obviously, I was gonna need  something a little bit more powerful. So… I made this. The way it works is when these two suckers  spin up and the ball is fed to them, it gets  

Squished between them and launches out. I did a  bunch of experimenting and redesigning of this   thing because, well, I want to be as painful  as possible when people get shot by it. Then, I put the launcher into the Snow Golem’s head  and made it so that even when you take the pumpkin  

Off it can still shoot snowballs. Now that those  are installed, I need a way of actually feeding   this thing some balls. I could store them in the  top of the head and just have them drop down into  

The launcher. But that’s boring! So, instead, I’m  gonna use the bottom two blocks to store a   ton of balls and have them lifted up to the  launcher using a special ball lifting device.   Genius? I know. So then using the knowledge I gained from 1/8 of a mechanical engineering major –

Because, well, I dropped out after one semester – and spending millions of hours designing it… I created the world’s greatest ball-lifting  device. So, as the balls are forced down into   this hole, they make contact with the spiral, and when  the spiral spins, it… uh… when the spiral spins! So, yeah.

It didn’t work. Remember guys, only 1/8 an engineer. So, after trying to create that first   lifting device, I decided to use the only real  skill I learned from college… Plagiarism! I mean, I mean, thinking outside the box. A few months ago  me and some friends bought these Orbeez blasters.

And these shoot super quickly so whatever  mechanics they have in the magazine are exactly   what I’m looking for. The ball lifter in this just  uses a star-shaped wheel to push the balls up this   tube one at a time. So, I just need to create  that but bigger. Should be simple enough, right?

I got the balls in here, then the paddle  wheel spins, balls roll in, and it… It was at this moment when I came up with  my best idea yet. Fidget spinners! Well,   using the things from fidget spinners  on the wheel to make it spin better. And  

This idea actually worked! Well, until this happened. I don’t think that’s a good sign. But after getting  a better motor and a ton more redesigns later… I actually finished it. And with this one I made  it so that you can reverse the wheel which should  

Make it unjam itself. So, the way this whole thing  works is this piece goes into this other piece I  made, and this will sit at the bottom of the Snow  Golem. So this whole thing works as a funnel and  

Forces all the balls to go into the wheel, the  wheel will then lift each ball up this pipe ’till   they reach the top where they’ll be shot out  at a billion miles an hour. Then, I connected   the wheel and launcher to the controller and  carefully put all the electronics in with just  

Amazing organization as always. I put the funnel  in ball lift into the base and decide it was about   time I did another test. Well, once again I hate  my life. Then I realized what my exact problem was!

I forgot my number one rule: never be creative, steal everything. So, instead of using my own   funnel design, like a nerd, I found out  how the feed system for a tennis ball   launcher works, stole that design, and remade  it to fit into the Snow Golem. Because like,

I’m not a nerd guys. I’m not a nerd, right guys? So  this one works by having the balls fall into one   of the four holes in the wheel and as the  wheels spin the balls drop down into this  

Paddle wheel thing. So the wheel basically takes  the place of the funnel in the last design. Well, it’s all installed and set up so I’d say it’s  about time I torture myself with another test. Let’s go! Let’s uh… less… less… oh. Balls were getting  stuck, I was dying inside, but after about three  

More redesigns, a few 3d printing fails, a whole  lot of super sophisticated coding, it actually   kind of almost worked well. (Let’s go)  But this time whenever it would jam   I could just reverse it and it  would unjam itself instantly. It’s testing time! Let’s go! Movement test!

Oleg is now finally finished and  officially a true Minecraft Snow Golem.   Using the right stick I can control the movement,  and using the left stick I control the launcher. And using this knob here I can control the rate of  fire. So, I can make it shoot, you know, one every now  

And then, you know… it’s kind of boring actually. Or  make it go super speedy rapid fire mode and completely   destroy whatever it’s shooting at. That is… until  it jams of course. As you can tell the Oleg  

Is now quite the beast. So I feel like the only  obvious thing to do is just give him his own A.I. and send him out into the real world. But,  to make sure your boy’s actually ready for  

The real world, we got to put him through some  tests first. Alright, Oleg, you see that nerd   down there on the One Wheel? We’re gonna take that  guy out. Let’s get him! Come on. Don’t jam. Don’t jam. That was crazy! We totally just killed  that kid! Wow! So Oleg obviously has some  

Skills. But contrary to what most people  think, skills aren’t the most important   skill… wait. It really all comes down  to the equipment, and in this case,  the launcher. Let’s see how powerful  this thing really is. Distance test! That was crazy. Speed test! Three! Two! One! No way! Oh my… look at that!  

We did the distance test and we did the  speed test, now it’s time for an accuracy test. We already know that Oleg here can outrun a  human. But, can he out-shoot a human? So, to test   it, we’re going to do an old-fashioned  duel, and whoever gets shot first loses. One! Two! Three!

And as expected, Oleg easily beats the human. So now  for the final test… the stealth test. So, originally   for this test I wanted to have Oleg shoot at  completely random people in a park. But, I realized  

That that might be kind of messed up and possibly  illegal. So, instead, i’ll just shoot my friends with   it. My first victim – obviously – is Joe. I hid Oleg  and told Joe to come up the stairs to help me  

Film a video. And, of course, like the Minecraft  YouTuber he is, he’s not gonna suspect a thing.   Yep… uh… it jammed immediately. But, remember how I added that unjam feature? Yeah, apparently neither   did I. So it was pretty clear that getting it to  actually surprise and then shoot people was gonna  

Be a little bit trickier than I expected. Because  either it’d jam up, or they’d see it immediately.  But, I still think Oleg can do this thing. So, I filled Oleg with like 50 ammo and   then invited some nerds to come over to my  house. But, I told them to come down through  

The basement way which would mean they’d  have to walk past the garage, and little   would they know: waiting for them would be a  fully working real-life Minecraft Snow Golem… named Oleg. So, I was hiding further in the garage so that nobody could see me and using the mounted  

Screen, I could see when people were in front  of Oleg and that’s how I knew when to shoot them. So, this next dude didn’t even know I was  building this project in the first place.   So, I thought it’d be funny if we all went  inside and just let Oleg sit in the garage.  

And then once he gets confused and walks  up to it, that’s when we light him up. “That’s awesome! I love it! I was  like dang they got a dirt bike”   Did you notice this? “No.” So for these last girls  the screen actually died, so I had no idea how  

Close they were to the Snow Golem. So, I just had  to wait until it sounded like they were close. So, yeah… it jammed again. And, um, I guess  at that point they kind of saw it, but   this time I actually remembered the old reverse  unjam thingy I added and it totally worked.

I mean… it only shot a couple of times  and completely missed him of course,  but overall I’d say Oleg totally acted  stealthily and definitely passed the test. And if you’re wondering why it only shot like  three times, surprisingly it’s not because it  

Jammed. It’s because, well, we kind of used up  all the ammo right before they showed up.   Now that Oleg has passed all the tests with  flying colors, I carefully re-coded him so   that he has his own A.I. and we can finally send  him out to the real world. All right Oleg! Bye!
