Not Synced
This is Dom.
-
Not Synced
He's a friendly little robot
-
Not Synced
that's super good at only one thing.
-
Not Synced
Setting up a butt-ton of dominos
-
Not Synced
really really fast.
-
Not Synced
It's taken five years to get to this point
-
Not Synced
but according to our initial tests,
-
Not Synced
we have hopes that he might be more than
-
Not Synced
ten times faster than the fastest human.
-
Not Synced
So today we're gonna put him to the test
-
Not Synced
going head to head against he world's
-
Not Synced
foremost domino expert,
-
Not Synced
who unfortunately is a mere human.
-
Not Synced
Then we're gonna attempt a
-
Not Synced
Guinness world record and he's gonna try
-
Not Synced
and fill this entire warehouse
-
Not Synced
with a mural
-
Not Synced
of a hundred thousand dominos.
-
Not Synced
And for context, setting up a domino mural
-
Not Synced
that size would take a team of seven
-
Not Synced
skill builders one full week.
-
Not Synced
Dom here, is gonna attempt to do it
-
Not Synced
by himself in 24 hours.
-
Not Synced
Now I know what you're thinking,
-
Not Synced
"Big whoop Mark,"
-
Not Synced
because as a kid you might have had a toy
-
Not Synced
that looked like this.
-
Not Synced
Or even this custom robot
-
Not Synced
KiwiCo made me that can drop
-
Not Synced
twenty dominos in a row.
-
Not Synced
So isn't a bit overkill to utilize
-
Not Synced
an autonomous robot,
-
Not Synced
a half mile of Hot Wheels track,
-
Not Synced
and a high speed robotic arm?
-
Not Synced
And I get it because our designs
-
Not Synced
look like this where we were just trying
-
Not Synced
to hack a Roomba when we first tried to
-
Not Synced
tackle this problem
-
Not Synced
exactly five years ago.
-
Not Synced
But then pesky details with scale arise
-
Not Synced
like for starters, just how much
-
Not Synced
100,000 dominos is.
-
Not Synced
So the robot will need to come and reload
-
Not Synced
at least 1,000 times.
-
Not Synced
But how exactly do you reload it?
-
Not Synced
And how would it know exactly where
-
Not Synced
to drop each domino and what color
-
Not Synced
it should be?
-
Not Synced
And how do you make it so reliable,
-
Not Synced
that it doesn't screw up once
-
Not Synced
in a 100,000 drops of a domino?
-
Not Synced
A system to reliably tackle issues
-
Not Synced
at scales like this is just going to be
-
Not Synced
inherently complex.
-
Not Synced
Like ten times more complex
-
Not Synced
than my automatic bullseye dartboard,
-
Not Synced
which to this point was probably the most
-
Not Synced
complicated build on my channel.
-
Not Synced
So after failing off and on
-
Not Synced
for three years,
-
Not Synced
I was doing a Q and A at Makerfaire
-
Not Synced
and I told the crowd if anyone wanted
-
Not Synced
to help me with the brutal challenge
-
Not Synced
to hit me up afterwards.
-
Not Synced
And to my absolute delight,
-
Not Synced
two freshmen from Stanford
-
Not Synced
and a software engineer from
-
Not Synced
The Bay Area,
-
Not Synced
all took me up on the challenge.
-
Not Synced
So I hired them and two years later,
-
Not Synced
here we were.
-
Not Synced
Now before I show you how it all works,
-
Not Synced
I just wanted to put him in a head to head
-
Not Synced
competition to see how good he really was.
-
Not Synced
And for that we need the undisputed
-
Not Synced
heavyweight champion on YouTube
-
Not Synced
for all things dominos,
-
Not Synced
Lily Hevesh.
-
Not Synced
Lily, you are known on Youtube as
-
Not Synced
The Queen of Dominos right?
-
Not Synced
People do call me The Domino Queen.
-
Not Synced
And for very good reason,
-
Not Synced
with over 1.2 billion views on
-
Not Synced
her channel,
-
Not Synced
you've almost certainly seen
-
Not Synced
one of her incredible creations
-
Not Synced
over her 12 years on the platform.
-
Not Synced
She's so good,
-
Not Synced
she's even got her own line of dominos
-
Not Synced
you can buy in stores.
-
Not Synced
Ok, so here's the challenge Lily.
-
Not Synced
I want you to set up like 300 dominos
-
Not Synced
right now and let's see how long it takes
-
Not Synced
a human to do that.
-
Not Synced
Ok.
-
Not Synced
Clock starts,
-
Not Synced
Now.
-
Not Synced
I got to do two hands.
-
Not Synced
If you need me, Lily,
-
Not Synced
just sitting here reading my newspaper.
-
Not Synced
For you kids at home a newspaper is like
-
Not Synced
a boring ipad made from trees.
-
Not Synced
That's actually pretty fast.
-
Not Synced
Oh no.
-
Not Synced
Disaster, the foibles of being human.
-
Not Synced
Ok Lily are ready for this?
-
Not Synced
No.
-
Not Synced
I've seen enough.
-
Not Synced
(Failure to whistle)
-
Not Synced
I actually don't know how to whistle.
-
Not Synced
This, is the Dominator.
-
Not Synced
Oh my god
-
Not Synced
Wow
-
Not Synced
I lve the eyes.
-
Not Synced
A good set of googly eyes will go
-
Not Synced
a long ways.
-
Not Synced
Ok boy, let em down.
-
Not Synced
I suck at dominos, Lily,
-
Not Synced
but i'm good at engineering which means
-
Not Synced
I'm actually really good at dominos.
-
Not Synced
We even showed off
-
Not Synced
the Dominator doubled-stacked
-
Not Synced
the middle row for you.
-
Not Synced
That is impressive,
-
Not Synced
that is seriously impressive.
