I’m a massive Star Wars fan and wanted to be able to use the force. There’s one scene in Star Wars where Obi-Wan Kenobi waves his hand and closes a door. It’s so simple and that’s what I think most people would use the force for, simple tas

Love those ideas! It is voice controlled but the grenade launcher is 100% necessary

It won't let me edit it so an admin would have to. Sorry about that!

Basically +- 4 yards if it's SLIGHTLY uphill/downhill or SOME wind in either direction. If you were STEEPLY uphill/downhill or there was STRONG wind, +- 12 yards. This was just trial and error on the golf course honing it in.

Thanks so much :) Really glad you liked it. I love making these videos. They just take so long to make. I love these final "showcase" type videos that are really cleanly edited but I'm also considering mixing in "here&#x

No :( we think it was just swinging it super hard for a while but pretty unclear unfortunately.

Thank you!! Confession: I’ve never seen Caddyshack. But after everyone telling me about my bags reference to the movie, I watched the clip where the golf bag shoots out the club haha and I can see the crazy coincidence

Wow that’s a fantastic idea

Haha I knew someone would comment on that. I tend to hit the ball pretty far but definitely not as straight as I’d like

Thanks so much! Haha I would LOVE motorized wheels. That would be a great V2

I grew up golfing and I love to make things, so I thought it’d be pretty funny and ridiculous if I made a voice activated golf bag that shoots out your clubs. Like a robotic caddy of sorts. The video explains some parts of how I built it an

About a month ago, I found a toy cap gun at my parents house. Remembering how fun they were, I decided to make the World’s Largest Cap Gun. The video shows how I built it and showing it off to David Dobrik and his friends (it almost didn’t

Well I think you're making an assumption that the consumer would be educated and motivated enough to buy this product and then be willing to stick a camera in their car and keep it plugged in all the time for little short term value to

I can see how that would be an attractive acquisition! Although having a camera installed to watch the driver might be a bit of a pain.

by nik12795 5y ago
Yeah that's a good point. I also mentioned having a social shaming method where, every time you text and drive, it automatically posts "I'm currently texting and driving" on social media.

by nik12795 5y ago
For those commenting that this is more dangerous than just texting and driving, I think you're missing the point of this fun and entertaining experiment. I urge you to watch the video since I point out that it's not safer than tex

If you watch the video, you'll know that donating money was another option I considered!

Thank you!!

We answer that in the video! You should check it out :)

by nik12795 5y ago
That's a good point. And I do agree with you that, although it may be safer with less distractions, the average consumer would not be willing to give up those comforts. How do you feel about self driving cars?

Yes, I'm familiar with Pavlok. I remember watching that episode on Shark Tank a few years ago. I come to the same "less safe and problematic" conclusion at the end of the video (which was no surprise). It's a real proble
