Giving Legs Their Snakes Back

Giving Legs Their Snakes Back

After seeing a video by Allen Pan in which he gave a snake legs, engineer James Bruton thought his robotic legs could use a more snake-like motion. So he got to work building a 6-legged robot which incorporates a mechanism he got from LEGO builder Akiyuki. Now he needs to give a snake a ride on it like Allen did.

Shiner Beer x Magellan Outdoors Gear

Shiner Beer x Magellan Outdoors Gear

The brewers of Shiner beer want to remind you that “beer tastes better outdoors” so they teamed up with Magellan Outdoors to create a bunch of limited-edition gear. We especially dig the party-sized cooler, the sorta-bottle-shaped mummy sleeping bag, cornhole set, tailgating canopy, and – hold my beer – keg-shaped charcoal grill.

How Animals Get Their Scientific Names

How Animals Get Their Scientific Names

It’s been a while since we got a lesson from the Sam O’Nella Academy, but after a nearly 3-year hiatus from YouTube, the snarky educator takes us back to school to learn about scientific animal names and where they come from. Those taxonomy mnemonics are just as good as the ones on TV Funhouse.

Failing to Learn on The Learning Channel

Failing to Learn on The Learning Channel

Remember when TLC stood for The Learning Channel? Joel Haver and his friends Mitsy Sanderson and Ben Ball poke fun at just how inane their shows have become. After countless 90-Day Fiance variants, we wouldn’t be surprised if they made Before the Wall, The Wall: Happily Ever After, and The Sidewalk spin-offs.

Last year, we had a chance to drive the new Toyota GR86 on a racetrack. Now, we’ve had a full week to live with the agile and accessibly-priced sports car as our daily driver for a full week.

Electric Sex Machine

Electric Sex Machine

Get Get Up. James Brown meets Judas Priest in another genius mashup by music editor Bill McClintock.

There are many ways you can shoot an action sequence, from doing stunts on location to working in front of a green screen in a studio.

Rainbow Trampoline

Rainbow Trampoline

The Slow Mo Guys have a tendency to get messy making their videos, but this time they’ve outdone themselves. After seeing other slow-motion videos with powders bounced off of a tennis racket, they super-sized the idea by covering a trampoline with colorful paint pigments – then Dan took a flying leap into it.
