Hey how's it going Dave Judy here and this is a little different video from normal this is something called the sly bricks and this is a product actually purchased last year like late 2016 and I bought it because I thought it'd be pretty cool and a completely forgot about it just sat in my office for months at this point and I finally found it back again I thought it would kind of do an unboxing slash kind of product experience with it because I'm not going to review this I'm not an expert at this type of thing what it is is a drone type product technically they're called like remote-controlled quadrocopters or remote control toys of some sort but that's what this is but what makes this one special is that it's made of Lego and you can attach like different things to it you can make it a Lego drone okay let's take a look so I have never built my own quadrocopter before or drone before oh my gosh this is so many pieces I'm just gonna try to do the same with that instructions because I mean we'll see this feels very not dirty like I know it's Lego but this feels extremely not sturdy what my doing here I think have to look for instructions it looks like to control the thing you need to get an app so I'm going to download that on my phone I'll be right back okay now I fly it no oh it's armed it okay okay okay in the sauce this is disarmed okay yeah that did not go as planned um I have a feeling this was very imbalanced that's why I flew off and was out of control okay I'm going to rebuild this I mean it feels slightly more balanced than it was before I don't think I'm gonna make that much of a difference but I have to test I'm not sure what to think of this thing I mean I could probably rebuild it and try it again I think I should I've been trying with four rotors they supply eight and I guess eight would give it more stability I don't know that much about quadrocopters and RC toys but I feel like the more rotors would kind of give it more opportunity to balance itself out with the gyroscope so that's not gonna do I'm going to do one more attempt at it build I'm going to follow the instructions to the tee get eight rotors on this thing a prop I think if it does any better one utilities late Dana okay so at this point I've spent a little bit over an hour building this thing and I got to be honest it's not been the most fun hour of my life but this is the completed version of their eight rotor device I guess I put on a bb-8 up front because I mean that's what this whole thing is about sticking LEGO pieces onto this thing so that's what we have BBH probably my favorite Star Wars related item now we're going to reconnect it and let's see how this goes now before I launch this thing I got to be completely honest I don't have faith in it I feel like the reasons why it failed and originally with the four rotor version still exist in this eight rotor version but this is as complicated this build can be and this is built exactly the way that they've described it in the instructions so if this doesn't work then just doesn't work okay we are connected and I'm going to get out of the way and let this thing fly okay the other thing LEM convinces it's going to shatter into like all the pieces I don't care we built this so this is the last time I'm going to do this okay here we go please quick oh okay this what Kristen why this project should not exist so okay I spent about an hour building this thing and you know what while I was building I looked it up this thing is currently going for $180 it was little bit more than I thought it was that is a lot of money for a product that I mean maybe there's someone out there that's going to enjoy this but really if you're interested in drones like there's like $20 drones that are amazing I'll link my favorite one below and it flies I mean this one I broke but they fly great and if you've ever smash them at 20 bucks not a hundred eighty bucks hope you guys enjoyed this video sounds gonna be like selfies love to I'll see you guys next time
