In this video, Lego Technic and Volvo challenged young engineers from around the world to move the world's largest articulated hauler (43 tons) using only Lego Technic elements. They formed teams and brainstormed various prototypes, sharing ideas remotely. After testing, they realized that none of the individual prototypes were strong enough, so they combined them and added more counterweight. However, during the first attempt, the motors overheated and failed to move the hauler. Despite this setback, they are determined to analyze and improve their design for a future attempt. The challenge highlights the spirit of engineering and resilience in the face of failure.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The Volvo A60H is the world's largest articulated hauler.
2. The challenge is to move the hauler 50 meters using only Lego Technic elements.
3. 35 kids from around the world collaborated on the challenge.
4. They formed four teams, each with its own prototype design.
5. The prototypes were tested on a mini version of the hauler weighing three tons.
6. The engineers at the Lego factory built 33 platforms with 256,608 Lego Technic elements.
7. Each platform had 24 motors, and the total weight was almost 13 tons of steel.
8. The initial attempt to move the hauler failed due to insufficient pulling force and overheated fuses.
9. The engineers and kids didn't give up and planned to analyze and try again.
