Robotic Airsoft Turret: Building AI Home Security for Airrack and Tyler Blanchard
Welcome back to my channel! In today's video, I take you on a thrilling journey of engineering, programming, and a lot of trial and error as I build my very own robotic airsoft turret.
A few weeks ago, I was completely submerged in a world of Python syntax, OpenCV models, RC servo motors, and 3D printing to create a functional and effective home security solution - a DIY Robotic Airsoft Turret. This turret not only boasts its ability to accurately track and aim at objects but also packs a punch with its airsoft gun power.
This project was not without its fair share of challenges - everything from sourcing materials, dealing with software and hardware issues, to late-night coding sessions and shipping mishaps. But through perseverance and a lot of determination, I managed to create a system that exceeded my expectations.
Don't forget to stick around till the end of the video to see how it holds up against real-life invaders. It's an adventure you won't want to miss!
Remember to like, comment, and subscribe if you haven't already and let me know in the comments what you think of this DIY project and what you'd like to see next on my channel.
And finally, a massive thank you to Tyler and Willee for their continuous support and belief in this project!
Thanks for watching!

Tire Launcher Destroys a Camper
On today's installment of The Woodshed, we dressed up like characters straight out of breaking bad to send tires through this old camper trailer. Ever wondered if a high speed tire could mess up an old camper? Me neither but I tried it anyways

Tire Launcher vs TV Stand!
On today's installment of The Woodshed, Wyatt sees the my invention, the Tire Launcher for the first time. I already posted another video about it several weeks ago, but his thing is too much fun to not keep showing. Wyatt helped me come up with the idea for it in the first place, and ha hadn't had the chance to see it in person yet. I had an old broken tv stand that I needed to get rid of, so I decided to smash it with a 65 mph car tire.

Insane Tire Launching Machine Test Run!
Testing My Tire Launching Death Trap on Innocent TVs
On today's installment of The Woodshed, I, along with my cousins and members of the channel @thecringebros6999 tested the tire launcher I showed being built in my previous video on the channel. Most of that video was a desperate plea to @harborfreight to sponsor me, a request that will most likely fall on deaf ears like it has in the past...
Today though, we get to see some actual carnage, and answer the question; "What happens when you don't put lug nuts on your car?" The results are devastating. I brought some old TVs, some sheet metal, and an old chest freezer with me up to the farm pit to see if I could send them to their collective grave in style. Well, I am pleased to say that I did just that.

I Turned a Bunk Bed into a Go Kart
This is a video on how I built one of the weirdest vehicles you've ever seen. I actually originally got this idea after watching a video that @Airrack put out where he put a bed frame on 2 boosted boards and cruised around town. This was my improvement on his design. When people have asked me why or how I actually did this, my answer has been either because I can, or that they screwed up giving me an engineering degree.
One of my favorite things about building these ridiculous vehicles is seeing peoples' reactions to them. I love showing people things that they've never seen before. It really is a lot of fun. My way of thinking outside the box I guess.
I have a lot of big plans for this thing in future videos. Let me know down below what I should do with it or where I should take it to get reactions and give people a laugh!

Potato Gun DIY Air Cannon Testing
On today's installment of The Woodshed, we absolutely wrecked our new dummy with our home made air cannon. How powerful can a cannon powered by air be compared to a gas or hairspray powered one? I built this Friday night and by Saturday afternoon, we were destroying stuff. I was surprised that we didn't ruin it by the end of the video but it's still working just fine.
Let us know in the comments if you liked the video and what we should launch out of it next!

Taking My Go Kart Bed to a Car Show
On today's installment of The Woodshed, we took the deathbed Go Kart to the annual Court Street Cruise classic car show. They actually let us in and we drove around town with the rest of the cars. We were amazed that they let us go in with our kart no problem and loved it!

Drive-Thru & a Car Wash in my Bunk Bed Go Kart Build!
Well, here it is. The moment you've all been waiting for. I've been so excited to take this custom Go Kart bunk bed out in public and the day finally arrived. We took the bunk bed go kart, lovingly referred to as "The Death Bed", through a local Dutch Bros coffee shop drive-thru, got gas at the Chevron, Picked up some McDonalds, then got clean by running it through a car wash. Yes, with us still on it. 3 birds with 1 stone.
I’ll admit that it may not be the best way ever to clean your sheets, but if someone ever does to your bed what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp’s, I think this would definitely do the trick. That water pressure took the paint off of Wyatt’s helmet, no joke.
The coolest thing was putting smiles on the faces of the people we passed and those we spoke to. there were so many more reactions and people we talked to that we didn't show. Something about the Death Bed just makes people smile!
Let us know down below in the comments what other things we should do with this thing!
Also share it with your friends and give them a laugh. Thanks for watching!

How to Steal a Car Show For $500
On today's installment of The Woodshed, we brought the DeathBed down to Lupo Motors' car meet with a ton of super sick cars! There were Porsches, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, a McLaren, and a GTR in the spot right next to us. Really great meet and great turnout. It's crazy that there are so many cool rides here in Idaho.

Fixing Then Breaking My Motorized Creations
If you've been following the channel for a little bit, you know that custom Go Karts is something really like doing. There's something about taking a hunk of metal and seeing it go from nothing to a working kart/vehicle of some kind (not really sure what to call them at this point).
The only thing better than driving your own weird creation down the road is the smiles on peoples' faces wen they stare at it!
We just wanted to fix my "vehicles" and drive them around, but we ended up getting a little wild and I fell off of them. Hopefully this summer we can build some more of these things and get a whole fleet going. Maybe have some jousting or some paintball wars, idk.
Subscribe for more shenanigans!

I Took a Full Magazine to the Chest - SplatRBall SRB400-SUB Review
We recently bought a SplatRBall SRB400-SUB gel blaster because it looked fun, and we wanted to see if this thing could actually do some damage. Short answer, yes it can.
Sorry for the focus issues. Wyatt might get fired as a camera man 😂
A couple of weeks before this video, Wyatt and I went head to head to see who was better at VR. If you haven't seen that one, go watch it here: "link"
Wyatt destroyed me, so I was the one who got the "punishment". We had agreed that whoever lost had to take a full magazine of bbs out of a SplatRBall gun from the winner. We didn't know at the time that the magazine holds 400+ rounds, but I'm a man of my word. The carnage lasted about a minute and a half straight of full auto devastation to my torso, arms and back.
Overall the gun is pretty sturdy and works extremely well. You get what you pay for, so spending a little more on this one as opposed to cheap copies seems like a better idea. 0/10 would agree to take a full magazine from one of these again 😂

Cracking VR Skulls - Speed Run Challenge Blade and Sorcery Nomad
We decided to make ourselves motion sick and speed run Blade and Sorcery Nomad. The loser was supposed to get destroyed by a gel blaster (splatrball). I got this game a few months ago on the Oculus Quest 2, and it's been a lot of fun. I think the graphics left something to be desired but overall it's good for what is technically a mobile game.

Taking a Fire Arrow to the Chest
You might have seen fire arrows on movies or video games like Elden Ring, Breath of the Wild, Red dead redemption, or assassins creed and thought; "that would be fun to try". Well that was us too.
This was our third and probably final attempt at fire arrows in the snow. Our basic understanding is that whey don't really work when it's too cold outside. Not sure why it took us 3 tried to understand that...
Well yeah, we ended up getting carried away, gas ended up in weird places, and our beloved dummy Wayne Kerr met an untimely demise. We'll find another dummy someday but his sacrifice made this video possible.
Put an F in the chat for Wayne

My first mod for the Audi A4! K&N Intake Review

How To Drift a Mobility Scooter! - 212cc Gas Engine
My DIY or "How To" explanation of the steps I had to take to make my mobility shredder drift worthy.
I recently dropped a Harbor Freight 212cc predator engine into my facebook marketplace mobility scooter. I remember thinking that the only thing that would make it more fun would be drifting it. I remember seeing drift trike videos where they put PVC pipe drift sleeves over the tires to get a really cool drifting effect. Although my center of gravity on my mobility shredder wasn't ideal, I decided to try it anyways! I also welded the differential on the scooter so that the tires would spin the same direction. It's no extreme sport by any means, but It really is a lot of fun.
I also let some of my friends ride it to see what they think. Scooticorn may have suffered some injuries in this video but it's ok. I have some more parts on order to fix him and get him back on the road.

I Put a Gas Engine on a Mobility Scooter!
Yeah, I though that was a good idea... I put a 212cc predator engine onto an old mobility scooter! This thing was never designed to go that fast. This was a pretty fun build for under $200 including the harbor freight motor. Most of the metal I used was from a scrap bin at work so got pretty lucky there!
I'm planning on putting some drift trike sleeves on the tires in a future video so that I can drift the scooter. I'll also end up welding the differential so that I can drift and brake more easily. This was a super fun process and I learned a lot about all the little things while going through it. Stay tuned for more on the mobility scooter!

How to Revive a Dirt Bike After Sitting for Years | 93 Honda XR80
This is my attempt to show how to get a dirt bike running again after it had been sitting for between 10 and 15 years. I did mostly simple things like changing out parts in the fuel system, new carburetor, spark plug, air filter, new oil, and cleaning out the gas tank from all of the old fuel.
I had a pretty good starting point on this one because it was stored inside, but the process should be similar on most bikes. I am by no means an expert, but I had a lot of fun going through this process and learned a ton along the way. Most importantly, IT WORKED!!! It started on the 2nd kick.

Taking my 212cc Mobility Scooter to a Car Meet
A few weeks ago I took my mobility shredder to a car meet to see if people liked it. The short answer is yes. There were Ferraris, Porches, Corvettes, and tons of other cars there. My hunk of junk had a pretty big crowd around it and competed with the best. It was a lot of fun and I think people got a kick out if it. Maybe I'll do it again soon.
