Joe is bringing along with himself a brand new segment that we'd like to debut on open tab okay yeah it's called oh you want to introduce you know exactly we get to see so many things is not always time to cover it yeah but maybe if we can kind of slip it in at the tail end I thought it was a good idea and and and Brian helped me slip it in okay anyway don't read too much into that here's a segment we're gonna call Joe and tell it's like it says oh good Joe what do you have for us today it looks like some weird steampunk lizard what is this this is called this is what this isn't kindergarten what this is called the gecko ba it's up just under 200 pieces okay and I built this lupus with my man Brian Van Gelder and how much time in the day Brian probably doesn't sleep for god sakes Brian doesn't go home popular drinks and and and making little check it out here's a here's a time lapse of youth for people viewing this when did they make me this video this is amazing these guys are so much more productive oh and I've ever been so basically I look at it go oh that's a good video and look at that you know an eagerness or I guess our exuberance we started cutting tubes a little prematurely so I'm thinking maybe that some of them may be a little short and it's not getting quite all the oxygen it needs to the feet so basically what this can do it has it has a motor okay so it can not only walk on a flat surface oh it not only walk on a flat surface much steps but when built properly yeah it's supposed to be able to scale oh whoa yeah well yeah you can see it's a gecko like you're like that like so I think so engineering issues on mine and Brian's Park which is why I'm pretty bad very loud he's kind of like a gimp Godzilla you're the loudest forever he's my friend but what is made out of Connect so it's like small plastic pieces and the joints are held together by these little orange pushpins so the tubes really have so this air there yeah there there's air being pumped to the suctions and it keeps foot I see Wow you can make seven different creations from the one set you can make like really you can make like a phone holder a suction phone holder like a suction gun in our inchworm and a couple other things what is the set it's it's Lego it's called gecko bot it's not available yet it will be available later this month at Michael's Amazon really cold and Toys R Us sort of hobby an old object well I thought it'd be cool a kid my initial goal was to probably you and we could probably would have worked yes I was gonna build it with my son but I had that little stretch where I was sick and it just didn't happen so Brian and I had to kind of get it built second son my Robin Hood very cool all right and what is this gonna go forward you say I'm 49.95 it should be available it should be available later this month it's I mean I've I've stuck it on glass it's stuck I've pulled it I've dropped it the only thing that I'm a little concerned about is once you make this particular configuration because if the hose comes in one piece right I'm not certain if you can make all the others once you cut down the piece of not see because I'm not sure yeah I'm not sure the length of hose you need for each individual bill that's the one thing I didn't find out but I'm very cool man when the stickers you could with two choices of eyes that both these eyes are a little friendlier so yeah oh please so and I mean if you look can we get a gonna will to the camera like if you look there's little like um see the little air pockets right here so with you so basically this one sucks air from this one when it releases from there it's actually pretty genius I think it's something cool for like a father son or father daughter a mother daughter mother son to do it of course anybody Aaron and kids yeah even it's great or just kids or just parents well it says for eight you eight year olds eight and up um I think maybe I was a little too far up yeah that's why we're all in that up category Oh walk right I don't use the hoses at all it just means the suctions won't exactly okay alright I got it it looks pretty nice how long did this take Rob you're like I've made me maybe like an hours oh wow it may have been longer because you know when you're just sitting there around like I said we got a little premature with cutting the hose so like I noticed that like you know there may not be there may be some air restriction going to a couple it's okay a couple of the feet so hey if anyone anyone who get to just the measure out the hose also we had that you know we translated from centimeters doing to you
