LEGO Technic vehicle rappels 22 meters down deep chasm cave.
Project Chasm Cave - Part II
On the slopes of Mt Hymmetos lay various caves and chasms. One of the most renowned is the Asteriou Monastery chasm cave, which consists of three chambers. The entrance to the first and largest chamber is a small crack in the rocks about 1.5 meters long and 0.5 meters wide. After this crack comes a sheer drop of more than 20 meters to the bottom of the chamber. After a first attempt to explore this cave, using a small mobile crane to lower a bright LED light and action camera through its entrance, I built a small remote-controlled vehicle that can rappel down the cave using a soft cotton belt. With the second stage of the exploration complete, the road is now open for further cave-exploration missions, using my rappelling system! Maybe landing a small tracked vehicle or crawler at the bottom of a deep cave. Who knows! Stay tuned for more and enjoy!
Cave exploration vehicle specs :
Rappel mechanism : 2x LEGO XL motors
Battery : 3-cell LiPo
Remote Controller : FlySky FS-i6 with 6-channel receiver
Electronic Speed Control (ESC) : Hobbywing Quicrun 880
Footage was shot on DJI Action 2 (cave), LG G6 smartphone (surface shots), and Google Pixel 6a smartphone (build process).

      @@brickandgear You could try doing it with a crane to pull it up instead of it pulling itself up also I don’t know if this would work but maybe use multiple cranes that lowers it down and uses and electromagnet to connect to it but it would have to be really strong to do that without disconnecting when hitting stuff and since it seems to mostly be a really wide chasm you could probably make a crane that is stationary but and moves but you would have to get rid of the fencing over it and if it gets stuck you wouldn’t have to push the rope and also since there is probably terrain it would get stuck on I think you should add tracks and a secondary crane that isn’t Lego to pull it out in case of emergency that has a way longer rope and Is connected too the build securely so it can be pulled without the worry of it falling off

    • @brickandgear
      @brickandgear 2 дні тому

      @@user-ft2vs2dr3e I used a crane during my first attempt. The problem with the crane is building a winch that can handle a huge amount of pressure that builds up as the rope gets wrapped around the winch axle. Wrapping 25 meters of rope stresses the build very much and it's prone to structural failure, as axles tend to bend under the immense load. So, for such a depth, using a belt and rappelling system was much easier. Then comes the rate of descent/ascent. A winch has a much lower rate of descent/ascent and my DJI Anton 2 camera can only record 15 minutes of 2.7K video before overheating and shutting itself down. So, it would probably shut down before it resurfaced. With the rappelling system, the vehicle went down almost 25 meters and back up again in under 5 minutes! Your electromagnet idea is amazing! A fantastic system to lower a small vehicle and release it once it reaches the bottom! I'll have to brainstorm on it!

    • @brickandgear
      @brickandgear 4 дні тому

      I tried to balance the vehicle so that it tilts a bit forward, to protect the camera from smashing on the rocks and help the vehicle to overcome any obstacles during the accent by using the wheels on top. It came back up, so I guess it worked 😁. I would like to build a cheap FPV system in the future though. It's very important to be able to see where the vehicle is going, be it a ship, land vehicle, or anything else.

    I'm currently Creating a Bricklinks Studio file of this based off of the visuals I see in the video to try and replicate the hull except using lego motors and putting my own spin on the Style. I want to build my own Lego Technic boat one day, but I'm new to Legos and it's good to study off of what others built. If I successfully complete the file, would you like a copy of it? I'm still learning the software, but it's actually pretty straight forward. Also, if you respond to this comment, is there any way you can get me part numbers for the propeller and accessories?
