Instead of changing angles, or cutting platforms further, You could have them very wide in the center, but thinner outside, So it slopes to a smaller size

0:56 only O.G remember “pixel circle simulator”

KAN: "original content" Scrapman with his ALSO circle bot killing build: "Say that one more time I dare you"

Wait... You release a Wheel build today and Scrapman release a wheel build today? Kan is Scrapman conspiracy 2, electric boogaloo!

one design flaw is that if they hit you it’s possible to lose a sensor

The platforms need to be narrow only at the edges. You can make them "oval" in shape and allow higher steering angles without sacrificing too much "crushing surface" in the middle.

I'm not even really sure why, but I know I want to see this thing inside Scrapmans 'Hamster Wheel' for some reason.

you should give each wheel 3 pistons for more power. it would be pretty expensive in survival but cool to see.

Thank you for the support on the broken arm yesterday. It made my day. It helped my 13 year old self make it through surgery.

*double-stacking pistons makes them move faster, meaning you can increase top speed*

You only need to make the platforms narrower at the tips to improve your steering angle. Also, sensors, suspensions, buckets boots and hands all have 7 friction, whereas cactus only has 6, so any of them would make better grip plates, though cactus does have a certain meme-value to it.

Kan says stuff like it doesn't matter while he's painting bearings

The cacti should have been on the other edge of the "feet"

I kinda wanna see an RC version of this irl I wonder if that weird levitation effect you pointed out would carry over into reality

I would like to see you manage to make a fuel free, decent looking hexapedal combat walker. Not that I doubt Kan's skill, but I've yet to see someone make a good one.

Kan: new video came out, watch it my fellow viewers ! Me living in Poland and it's 23:56 : Yes my master * nearly sleeping *

A piston wheel with drills would be lethal! Too bad they don't have more friction

knew this was coming

Do you remember the series called "guess what i searched" I liked that series, how about make kosmo join in?

0:56 Only long time viewers who watched the streams remember the great pixel circle simulator of 2016... And the big potato...

I made the bobcat in survival and it’s amazing, thank you !

It's good to see a tutorial style experiment video. It been a while

It might be worth putting a suspension glitch for rotating The Roller™ quickly. I think it would also be cool if you used a less heavy block for the center wheel and put bubble blocks on the ends to turn it into a water vehicle. Also, your cactuses weren't touching the ground most of the time. I personally have never played Scrap Mechanic, but I've been watching your channel for some time now, so I kind of understand the logistics behind it, so I can't really offer much advice. However, I do think that you could make the piston that is at an angle behind the seat extend more at launch in order to get a better and quicker start by adding a controller. Great video and I hope you continue to make amazing content!

Make a GIANT vehicle using four of these as the wheels. That'd be cool, impractical but cool.

Would love to try making one of these in my survival game, a lighter build, not for bots, maybe adding some width to the center and gyroscoping the seat, some small chests underneath it; would make any amazing exploration/collection vehicle

This would actually be a good vehicle in scrap mechanic because it doesn’t use any engines

An actual steam roller would be nice, me and a friend did a survival vehicle using those giant quarter round pieces.

One could always increase the steering angle by trimming the Non cactus corners, and then Add some weight to the push plates too on the insides of them.

I love Seeing this kind of Content. Very Informative

Using two pistons instead of one could help you move faster, by moving the piston-system faster.

You can fix the steering with a suspension glitch you might need a free floating cabin

I think that you should make a flyer that is purely powered by mounted spud gun recoil.

The glorious return of the pixel circle generator, this is the real nostalgia

Scrapman: makes hamster wheel Kan: Makes a piston powered wheel Me: Kan i thouught YoUr COnTeNt WAs oEiGiNaL

Scrapman: hampter wheel of death. Kan: how about we make it piston powered.

If the wheel bars tapered off you might be able to steer more effectively without sacrificing overall width too much.

Can’t wait for This one

I've waited for this video since the noob vs pro challenge bro finally thank you

This is the definition of "awesome, but impractical".

Instead of bearings, wire up pairs of pistons near the outside edges of the panels, with a small piston attached to each and a switch, so that when you press the button, the one side gets longer.

You could make it have 12 pistons instead of 8 with 30 degree increments to make it start up faster I think and also shift the weight in the center to assist steering. If you do implement it in survival it would definitely be beneficial to add some protection to vital parts (seat, pistons, etc.) and some chests in the center. The platforms could also be made thinner on the ends to allow for greater turning angles. Possibly self-righting mechanisms if you fall on your side.

For better turning, you could taper the 5 wide plates to be 3 wide near the edges, that way the wheel is stable and you can have sharper turning

I think speed and better steering is more usefull than weight. Just hit and run. And also maybe dubble up the pistons and have a set of pistons on each side of every platform so you can tilt the platform with activating 1 piston on a side to steer. And have the pistons behind the steering pistons activate to push. You know what i mean.

Suggestion: Swap front edge of each foot for the row of cactus plants instead of having them down a block in the back of foot. When rolling with speed it's like a person running, they use the ball/toes to grip and move, they don't run with their heels...

You need to put 4 of those on a platform and make a giant car

Sick, I never knew you and scrapman had such similar ideas, he built a hamster wheel for the bots to go in,

Awesome build. The cactuses were on the wrong end of the panel

Try destroying them with a rocket powered wheel aka speedy impacts🤟🏼🤟🏼🤟🏼keep up the awesomeness

Definely, speed that thing up and curve the edges inward to help with agility!

if you cut out the corners you can stear in a steeper angle. You can put the blocks back into the middle because they are not touching. And maybe you can double up the pistons for more power

The platforms could have a pointy tip. Lager in the center for stability, but not overlapping when you turn

Now make it bigger and with saw blades aswell

Yes more experiments! In general 🤗

You could have the pads come to a point so you don't necessarily have to shorten the platforms but still get more turning because shortening the platforms will make it fall over with a steeper angle. Lemme know what you think of the idea.

Double the pistons Also add more cactus cause they grip 0.7 sec You also placed the cactus in wrong side

Add some thrusters at the opposite end of the sensors that power them, to make a wheel that can climb mountains or even underneath the roof of something....

you should make one out of realy high buoyancy so it can role over water. like this if u want can to do it

You shuld make a thruster powerd one or make a monstertruck with this kind of wheels!

have you thought about using pistons for steering? might work better

Idea: make a wheel that floats on water so you can go on water and land

Put your cactus on the other edge of the platform. Also angle the edges of the platform so you can increase your steering angle.

Use the lift to start the rotation to get it going. Simply place it under the rear and lift it up

Idea: put many many more layers of concrete on it

It looks like the front edge of the slabs is more in contact with the ground when it is pushing than the rear edge. Maybe try putting the cactusses on the front edge or both front and rear edge and see if that gives you more speed?

*Speed* of a piston is also its *Strength* for whatever reason.

Put some spinners the stick out from the seat area that spin super fast in the direction you are rolling. that way if any bots are on the sides as you make passes they get popped by the spinning blades of doom!

Ah, finally, knew it would get weaponized. Most things do.

This idea has potential

I feel like this would be better for crushing if there were 2 or three sets of pistons next to eachother, stability would be drastically improved when crushing and maybe turning could be made better, idk how but maybe

Also, the Haybots are generally less laggy-er than the greenies. Or whatever their names actually are. Example: If you can have 10 Green bots and your FPS drops down from 60 to 30, you can have 15-20 of the yellow bots before it drops from 60 to 30 FPS.

I think a weight that moves with the wheel would make it move much better. Think of a steam train wheel, the ones that have a weight on one side... Imagine that inside where you sit that is connected with a bearing so it turns constantly offsetting the weight to the front.

Khan you should include flywheels with the design it will gain momentum faster and maybe you can turn the machine even faster using two flywheels rotating in opposite direction , and you are not using the cacti optimally because they are not touching the ground everytime. Maybe you should put cacti on either side of the foot of the machine.

It would be quite interesting to see a full on vehicle with like say 4 wheels like this, though how that would work i have no idea. it would be a very large build though

Im glad kan fixed the screenshot

You could remove corners to add few degrees.

decide none of my subscriptions have anything I want to watch tonight, guess I'll throw on some music then... refresh to get to music playlist oh kan posted a minute ago!

I feel like a slower piston speed and distance might actually make it start moving easier instead of bouncing

I feel like you might get more grip out of the cacti if they were on the front edge of the platforms, cause when the platforms push back they are pushing on the front edge and the cacti are just hanging uselessly off the back. I understand they are the first thing to hit the ground, but if you're using them for friction, I feel like the front edge might be more useful.

kAN you should look into making a jet of sorts

you could make the ends of each bar points so it can have better angle with max width

I want to see how good this is in various terrain.

kAN! I know you love pistons engines so here's an idea for you. Can you get a powerful enough piston engine in a heavy enough vehicle to move it fast enough to plow over bots? Can piston power compare up? Also, I don't know if you knew this, because I didn't, but fertilizer can now be dispensed via vacuum pumps and large chests. So you can throw that into your mix of auto farming. It's just the replenishment would require you to constantly be farming carrots, red beets, and tomatoes.

If it's possible Kan can you make it run on water if it's possible 🥰Love your vids🥰🙏

Back in my day, we just eyeballed circles, Ahh... my minecraft days.. Building castles, Building towers, Those were good days.. before the war.

Thrusters, for turning assist. I'm sure you could modify a forward/reverse thruster too...

To help with the steering just delete the corner pieces so u can have more angle for steering

Clearly the solution is to add a jump operation so you can get a proper drop on the red guys.

Some thrusters are gonna make it even more destructive

now kan also has impractical vehicles like scrapman lol

To get it going faster, you could put two somewhat hevay “rotors” spinning in the opposite direction, so that you dont need ground contact to start rolling and it wont require fuel

12:41 Kan's black midi "bmbmbm" cover

Hey, you squashed the horde of Hanks! *points accusingly*

Yes.....MORE!!

use 2 single bearings and build it like a vibration motor, as the bearings would rotate, they would try to lift a weight around, as it would be eccentric, this would roll the machine forward. like a rain drop shape on either side, the pointy ends connected to the cylinder through a bearing. steering would be like a tank(in not sure about this part, you could use the same steering as on this machine) I'll try building the raindrp drive later, but i would like your opinion on this too

You can use lighter blocks for sure, even if you risk damaging them, but for crushing it makes no difference

maybe you could add the thrusters as an emergency boost

Make the biggest circle you can with all the pistons set to make push to have the strongest stomper

for the sake of „it’s not a bug, it’s a feature“ wouldn’t a suspension glitch steering be more effective?

have it throw the opposite piston on the front to give it a little gravity assist in starting up.

good idea but what about doing this as a pusher rear wheel to a bigger steam roller front wheel or make it a trike style
