World Record Domino Robot (100k dominoes in 24hrs)

Happy to finally release this one after 5 years of development :) Join me this summer in my Creative Engineering class!! Monthly.com/MarkRober

I didn't stand a chance building against this insane robot!! you truly made every domino builder's dream come true :D I'm so impressed! also I love the idea to knock it down with the turtle shell and rolling mario pipes! thanks for having me be a part of this project, so happy we finally got to collab!

I love how mark spent 5 years building a domino robot yet he can't do something as simple as whistling

So darn cool from an engineering standpoint. The time and dedication to fabricate and program is just too darn awesome. Excellent work to all those involved!

The follow up should be not only a clean up robot, but also one that sorts the pieces by color. I believe it will be much easier to design and make than the Dominator.

You dont have to be a nerd to appreciate all the engineering and development that went into this great project. Thanks for the fun.

Mark can probably make a robot that makes Mark Rober Videos Better Than Mark Rober

Mark and his team really show us that anything is possible! Great job guys!

mark: *builds a super complex machine*
also mark: *builds a piano that is so advanced that it managed to play rush e with ease*

Amazing! More tech companies should consider attracting young engineers with the chance to realize / contribute to a project like this.

Your builds and inventions have legitimately made me want to do this when I’m older, thank you for existing you make great videos and I want to be like you

I’m not sure why it makes me so happy to see robots crushing humans. I think something’s wrong with me... (AWESOME build!)

Your projects just keep getting more insanely cool!
Keep up the great engineering Mark!
👍👍👍
I look forward to seeing the next project!!

I love how much fun you have, how creative you are and how you are able to explain scientific principles clearly!

It’s incredible that the weight of 300 dominoes being dropped at once didn’t cause any vibration or disturb the air enough to dislodge even 1 domino, I know it was very low to the ground but having just spent hours sitting up dominoes with my kids, albeit quite small dominoes, so many things can go wrong.

I love that the whole of this incredible engineering project depends on a single zip-tie connecting the release plate to the servo! ;-)

Rumour has it that 12 months later Mark is still sorting them out into separate colours 🤣🤣🤣

Mark's high-pitched reactions at 13:15 are awesome. Years of work paying off!

Did you consider setting the dominoes so that you would just flick over one and the line of falling dominoes would snake its way through all of them? It would've taken longer, but a time-lapse would've been so cool!

every video I watch on this channel I get very inspired. Keep it up, Mark!

Every video wows me Mark Rober, well done all of you! ❤

This is crazy mark, keep up the great work!

Love your genuine excitement when they started to topple over!

5:05 The Dominator's tail is the most important engineering aspect

With the patience that it takes to make domino art, mark was confident that hevesh would enjoy his jokes and playful rivalry.

Mark: spends 5 years making a precise, carefully crafted master of dominoes.
Also mark: hotweelz

This makes me realize that technology is evolving faster than I was expected to be for sure.

Is there any scope to improve the efficiency of the loading arm? Also Dom's speed in transit? Then what about packing up the lot? 🙂

That’s an incredibly interesting design, do you think you would be able to edit the robot so you only have to start the whole sequence from kicking over one domino instead a pipe knocking over many?

D- did Mark just post 2 videos in one month?

amazing engineering build and great that you brought on college engineering students to assist. What an awesome project.

just the fact that he puts this much effort into this is mindblowing

It honestly would’ve looked more dope if when the dominions fell on the box it threw out a mushroom from it. It still was 10/10 fantastic I loved it. Congratulations

Mark: is an engineering genius
Also Mark: plays pool wrong

Lily: “I’ve already failed”
Mark: “That’s Great”
🤣

Who remembers when MrBeast was going to set the record for the longest domino chain, then stopped because it was going to be a boring video? I guess he should've just done it with robots! 😄

I thought Hevesh5 was the fasted domino builder but this robot is insane! 🤯

I don't know why this reminded me of diamond painting lol. Great job Hevesh5 and Mark!

This is the best robot I’ve ever seen congrats and be happy mark you got a domino helper

The way Mark’s voice rose like a little kid when they were being knocked down was so nice to hear -and a but funny. It’s nice to see all of your hard work come together.

I wanted to see more about the loader and pattern building. Pixel art part is more interesting to me than just offloading the dominos.

Fantastic job, Mark. 👍

For me personally, I would enjoy it more if you went more into the explanation of how it works and your thought and design process of the robot

Mark sitting on a lawn chair reading news paper and mocking humans is me every Monday

I got chills when the dominoes were falling!!! This was great!!!

Lol, the way Mark was so proud that he automated this task so far beyond what humans are capable of performing, is why engineers really would build Skynet if they could.

Imagine Mark creating a software bot that automatically edits footage together.

..3D Printer saved the day 😁
This project is impressive! Well done Mark!

It is possible to have multiple layers stacked at same time, seperated by similar mechanism of drop, so that instead of 300, it can drop 600 or even 1000 in a single run.

This guy needs a museum with all his creations

Mark can create all these amazing things that take years and months to make but can’t find the time to figure out how to whistle.

Its not a mistake ✨ ITS A MASTERPEICE✨

I love how mark is so happy at the end when it worked :)

Next episode: Building a robot that cleans up and organizes 100k dominos.

You do some very impressive stuff!!

This guy is definitely going to rule over the world

This is amazing! Great work

This gives me so much nostalgia to Domino Day back in the day, maybe they can bring it back with this robot.

10:45 I love how the robot placing dominos is in beat with the music

In a robot apocalypse,Mark is going to be chilling with the robots for letting them be in his videos!

impressive work and ingenuity at the service of a useless objective, it's what engineering was always supposed to be :D

Just imagine how many dominoes Lily could have set up in the time it took you to develop, program and build both the robot and the feeding system.

I love your enthusiasm Mark!! ❤

It’s amazing what programming and years of coding could do

I LOVE the counter weights on the back of the dominator. They’re actual weights, bungee bound to the back. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best ones.

this is epic 😊♥️ that robot rocks!!! and so do the people who made/programmed it 😊 Zoey and I LOVE your videos!!!! We do our best to spread positivity like wildfire and just wanted to say thank you for making your content and love that y'all spread positivity too ✌️♥️✊

What's next, an automatic hedge trimmer. Would love to see a build like this

This would take 7 domino people a week.... Let's spend 5 years to make that faster 🥳 now that's what Clip-Share is all about.

"Five years in the making..." I think Lilly has a head start. How many dominos did Lilly lay in five years? Dominator has some catching up to do.

Mark: knows how to do all this crazy tech stuff
also Mark: doesnt know how to whistle

So…what happens to the dominos now? Are they stacked up in boxes in your garage?? 😂 Awesome video Mark!

Love your enthusiasm and love your videos!

Dudes like him mean we really don't have any problems as a species or a planet we just have to equip & trust fellas like him to do something about it

Things are becoming so easy. 100K dominoes in 24hrs only is insane.

Technically the speed of the robot is limited by the speed of the robotic arm, so a human can technically compete as long as they don't make mistakes and keep a rather fast pace

Mark: I don’t actually know how to whistle.
The future video: A Robot That Makes You Whistle

You can hear in voice he's genuinely happy and excited about the results ☺️

Wow, these tiles were making some considerable noise! 😮

What you should do is make the robot hold more so you don’t have to take as many trips.

Imagine the feeling of dread when you spend 12 years perfecting a craft and then watch a robot doing your craft a million times faster

I'd like to see this robot building a computer made of dominos.

I think the time it took to engineer, write, and design the dominator should be factored into how long it took to "setup 100k dominoes".

I love how it has weights on the back to compensate for the weight of the domino and the tray.

This is fantastic!

It is honestly pretty impressive how many dominoes lily put with mark as a distraction. Props to her.

So cool from an engineering stand point and absolutely no other…., and world peace!

There are no words on God's green Earth to describe how much I love when visuals/audio from a Clip-Share video are edited to be in time with the music backing track. Just like at 7:40 Perfection.

I wish I could have a robot like this

All of that hard work and thinking really pays off
I bet that was a lot of trial and error, but Dom looks awesome.
Also I'm loving the dog thing

Watching the dominos falling is always the best & last part of setting up dominos 13:00

Seeing Lily's creations AFTER this video makes them even more impressive!

I love how lily is trying so hard and mark is well being mark

This is what too much time on your hands and a boat load of money gets you. Mark, you took the fun out of domino falling.

That was really impressive!

If you imagine that every second your monitor das roughly the same...that is insane

14:00 For efficiency purpose, what you really need is a robot to pickup the pieces and sort them back by color ;-)

There's something so odd about one of the most creative, brilliant, innovative dudes I've ever seen who can apparently do ANYTHING he sets his mind to ...... except whistle

Mark is gonna take over the world with his robots lol

Its funny how mark is just having fun while hevesh was suffering trying to build dominos while the dominator is doing the work for him.
