Building through trial and error

30

2:41

slides that were five stories high

2:44

and it was a machine that slid me into

2:46

bed

2:48

it usually takes one to three months to

2:51

build a machine it's a lot of trial and

2:54

error and it's learning through

2:56

observation so i'm watching and seeing

2:58

how things fail and seeing how they fail

3:00

is really important because that teaches

3:02

me

3:03

how to tweak it

3:04

i want a certain amount of risk built in

3:06

if i play it too safe and they work

3:08

every time then it's going to be a

3:09

boring machine but if you've got like

3:11

asparagus flying through the air that's

3:12

being caught in my mouth then that's

3:14

miraculous when it works

3:16

people often ask do you calculate like

3:17

the physics behind them and work out how

3:19

things are going to go no way that's so

3:21

hard can you imagine calculating

3:22

everything based on the exact angle and

3:25

air flow like it would be impossible

3:26

there's too much chaos at this small

3:28

scale it's much faster to just grab a

3:31

ball and roll it and see where it hits

3:35

there is a myriad of ways that i go

3:37

about creating things let's say i'm i'm

3:40

trying to connect a to b and i have no

3:41

idea how to connect it well i'll think

3:43

what's the theme here let's say it's a

3:45

dinner machine so what's some fun dinner

3:47

objects that i feel like working with

3:49

butter sounds fun and maybe candles

3:51

because they can like melt the butter

3:53

and i allow myself this time to just

3:55

play

3:57

and then just see what i discover and

3:58

what makes me laugh what interests me

4:01

they discovered this amazing
