Engineers vs Junkyard RC Car Death Match

This is the most unforgiving indoor dirt track arena ever built, and this is a lemon. - Aw. - That's also a remote control car that also squirts lemon juice into the eyes of anyone standing too close. And it's just one of six epically engineered RC cars created to do battle in CrunchLab's first ever, - Dirt box derby! - Because a few days ago, I challenged our amazingly creative CrunchLab's toy engineers to engineer the coolest, toughest and fastest RC cars they could dream up. - Yee-haw. - Meanwhile, Science Bob has been hard at work with his army of RC diggers to transform the CrunchLab's warehouse into this insane dirt track with not one, not two, but three epic arenas for these cars to do battle. In the most intense RC competition ever created. - Woo, that took a long time. - All right, CrunchLab's toy designers, how are we feeling? - Confident! - It was a little delayed, Adam. - Uh, we're a little tired. - Now the reason why Adam is so exhausted is because our toy engineers only had a few days to design and build their cars, which fortunately was a walk in the park cause they all graduated top of their class from some very expensive universities. I wanna see what we've got, why don't we start over here with Team Lemon? - I'm Adam. - I'm Jack and this is Squirt. Our car is a lemon. - Aw. That's good? Um. - We got a fiberglass shell exterior and some secrets within. - One of which they revealed right away. Oh, hey! Was that actual lemon juice?! - And that's why we call it squirt. - How exactly will that be effective against other mechanical cars? - We made an early decision to target the other drivers, so we're planning on making them nice and sticky. - Smart, OK, it's all coming together. - We may be the lemon. - But you're about to get juiced. - Next up. - I'm Jovan, - And I'm Danny. - and we've got Wedgie here. - It's like Reggie but a wedge and it's got an aluminum plasma cut dumper on the front. - We got spikes and scoops, a laser on the front. - So we can check the grade of all this dirt over here. - Investigating Bob's handiwork. - It's perfect. - We'll see, Bob. - Just a little message out there to the rest of the opponents. - Watch out for wedgies. - Next up. - Hey y'all, I'm Evan. - Hi, I'm Bam. And this- - Is the metal puppy. puppy! It is a regular dog that just wants to play. - That's all you're saying? - Yeah! - OK, interesting. - It has very cute ears, adorable eyes. - And I mean it growls all the time, but those are playful puppy growls, it's nothing to be worried about. - Just a friendly normal car, feels like you could squeeze a lemon with that thing. The thing is, Bam has a little Battle Bots experience. I feel like there's something else going on there, Bam. - Metal puppy just has one last thing to say. - Please play with me. - All right, next up. - I'm Stephen - I'm Lauren. - And we're team yee-haw. - Yee-haw. So our main weapon is our lasso. - We can either smash or we could grab them. - In true lasso fashion. - Oh, I like that. - And if we're going down, you're going down with us. - Team Yee-haw is gonna round up all the slowpokes. - And we have a little box in the back and you'll just have to see later what that surprise is all about. - OK, we gotta leave something for the show. - Do we have anything for the show? - OK, next up. - Hi, I'm Jenny. - I'm Dan, and this is our car. - Love bug. - It is all steel, by far the heaviest car in the assortment, but we do have a secret defensive tactic, which we're gonna save for the soccer match. - Oh! Can we flutter the wings, or that's part of the secret? - Well, you'll have to see later on. - OK. - Love bugs giving out tough love, today! - And last but not least, - I'm Danielle. - I'm Nicholas. - And we're team Park the Pig. - You can see the shape is a little interesting. - Very. - It's constructed using four soccer balls for ultimate bounciness. We're bringing home the bacon. - And while Park may be a princess, that didn't stop her from starting an early rivalry with Squirt the Lemon. - Watch out, it squirts lemon juice. - Now that the themes have been introduced. - Bad news is today there will only be one winner, and in each of the three events, if your car is eliminated, then you have a one-way ticket to Mount Crunchmore. What's Mount Crunchmore, you ask? Any questions? But the good news is, the winning team gets 24 hours with the CrunchLabs company gold card. You're welcome. - I don't believe him. - There must be a catch. - What do you mean there's a catch? - Now in their defense, we have had our misunderstandings in previous challenges over on the CrunchLabs YouTube channel. Like the time I gifted the challenge winner a brand new toy yoda. - A toy yoda. - Or when the winner got a 24 carrot gold necklace, or even the time I generously gifted a Hawaiian Crews. - This is Terry Crews in Hawaiian uniform. - To the entire team. - Alright, who's ready for the dirt! Box! Derby! Let's go! Bob, hit it! So as Science Bob puts the finishing touches on the track, let's take a look at what these six epic cars will be facing. First up is Rampage Rally, a single lap race around our specially designed dirt track, which of

course comes with a few nasty surprises, and a few Mario Kart speed boosts. The first car to finish the course gets fireworks, while the last gets, well, we covered that already. Alright, the cars are itching to start. Easy lemon car. Toy engineers, are you ready? - Yeah, come on. - Let's go, woo. - Science Bob, are you ready?! - Yeah. - Three, two, one. Go ahead and just move that a little to the left, Bob. Hey, what are you doing? I didn't say go. - You said ready, set, go. - I was talking to Bob, you gotta listen! - Take a lemon. - After quickly resetting, park the pig. - That's backwards. - Mark, the Pig went backwards. - Just rocket reverse. - It was finally time to start the race, for reals this time. - Three, two, one, go! - As the race got underway, it was amazing to see the joy on the toy engineers' faces, - Go, park, go park! - as all their hard work came to life. - Mark! - Before crashing into a giant heap that somehow only Squirt escaped. - Let's go! - Metal puppy soon got away to battle Squirt for the lead, who as it turns out, is one surprisingly speedy little lemon, with subpar navigational skills. While Bob and I help rescue the others, There were some early signs of a rivalry between Park the pig and Love Bug, but it's time to see how the cars would handle the first mud trap. Unlike most dogs, metal puppies seemed to hate mud and went flying straight off the track. - Oh no, no! - Meanwhile, Lemon decided this was the perfect time for a relaxing mud bath. Before ruthlessly blocking Yee-haw and making it over the mud pit unscathed. And as Bob got to work rescuing the front runners, Metal Puppy decided it was time to reveal its secret ability. - It has a combat robotic grade motor on it and the tip speed of the finger is 18 MPH. - Which means that metal puppy never stays down for long. And as Metal puppy righted itself. - Oh my gosh, the lemon car. - Squirt took a commanding lead by making a mad dash across the BB floor that I'm pretty sure he learned from me. Leaving Metal puppy to spit out on the BBs as Yee-haw went past without even a howdy. - Yo, Steve, OK, let's go. - Meanwhile, at the back of the field, Love Bug and Park the pig, were having some stability issues. - That was not the optimal design. - And while Wedgie decided to taste test the mud. - No! - We're so muddy. - Love Bug clearly didn't want to miss out on the fun, and while Park the Pig was in last place, it was surprisingly the only car to make it completely over the mud pit, barely. Squirt was enjoying leading the pack, but it was short-lived as they hit the 2nd mud pit with the exact same results as the 1st. Giving Yee-haw the opportunity to hit the boost pads and make an epic leap over the muddy lemon. - You're killing it, dude. - Unfortunately, they also went out of bounds, so they had to start over, but Squirt was so stuck it could do nothing but watch as Metal Puppy pulled the exact same move and nailed the landing. - Let's go, woohoo! - As I went to rescue Squirt, Wedgie tried the questionable strategy. - Mark! - I'm trying to take out the person who signs their paychecks. - I swear I wasn't trying to kill you. - Which unfortunately for them, put me in a mood to use my secret weapon, these insanely over-engineered pneumatic launching doors, which I could trigger remotely. And while Park the pig was making an epic comeback. - Hey pig thing. - They were unfortunately an easy first target. So to be fair, I also got squirt. And wedgie. And the park again. - Yeah! - I was having so much fun launching cars, I almost didn't notice Metal puppy winning the whole thing. But the fireworks and victory dance made it pretty obvious. Next up was Squirt, who surprised everybody by coming in 2nd. And Yeeha had caught up enough to get 3rd. - It went through the finish. - And once Wedgie was satisfied the ground was level, it crossed the finish line for 4th. Leaving our two cutest competitors, Park the Pig and Love Bug, to battle each other for survival. In an epic dash to the finish line. - Oh, it's got it, it's got it. - What a finish! - And with that valiant effort appreciated by all, it was time to visit Mount Crunchmore. - I'm so sorry this is how it has to end, but honestly, I still don't get the name. - This is you in pig form. - The Pig version of me needs to go. - No! - Oh no, Park. He's not giving up. Science Bob! - I got this. - No, please. - It's gruesome. Oh. - Next round. - Moving on, the five remaining cars entered our 5-sided cage for a game of Rock 'em sock 'em

soccer, which is basically real-life Rocket League but with a twist, because the cars are trying to score on their own color-coded goal. The last two cars to knock the ball into their own goal would be eliminated. Plus, it turned out Love Bug had a secret ability specifically designed for this challenge. - Jenny, activate the wings. Just give it a sec. - OK. - It's just gonna take one sec. - Take your time. - And just one more. And we're ready. - The only thing I'd like to point out is you're trying to score on your goal, not defend it. - Well, this will be helpful for other stuff too, hopefully. - Gladiators, ready? On your mark, get set, go! - Oh my God. - Oh wow, oh, lemon coming out early. No, lemon, jeez. - Whoa, whoa whoa. - OK, now don't forget you have to hit the ball. - So Evan, you gotta take it slow, take it slow. - Down, down. - Oh, no. - Oh, let's go ladybug! - Get it, Danny, get it. You got it. Scoop, scoop. - Oh God. - Yeah! Let's go! - OK! - With that unintentional assist by Wedgie, Love Bugs scores on their goal, earning themselves a free trip to the final game, which means we now close their red goal and move on to the next round with just four cars. - Who will be safe? Only time will tell! - All right, let's go, Evan. - Whoa. - Bob, please, Bob, please. - There's so much lemon juice. How many gallons are in that thing? - Stop squirting. - And as time was running out with a real sense of desperation. - Rotate, rotate. - Metal Puppy executed arguably the sickest move of the whole tournament. - Whoa. - Whoa, oh, I'm so wet. - No. - Oh. - It's three gallons. - Alright, how about this. - Oh no. - Lemon, it's right there. - Oh! - yeah, yeah. - Lemon, get it! - And with that, it was time to remove the silver goal, but before we can move on, Science Bob had a yellow card to give out. - Yellow card appropriately to the lemon, I got some in my eye. - Oh yeah, same. If it happens again, you're getting a red. Bob, it's in the field of play. - All right. - OK, who's going to the shredder? Let's find out. Oh no. - Oh goodness. - Go Lemon! - Oh, they're blocking Lemon. - Go slow, slow, slow! - Oh! Oh, Lemon. Go Lemon, it's right there! Push him out, lemon. - Lemon is not scoring. - Go! - You got this. - And despite some aggressive defense from Wedgie and Yeehaw, Lemon Squirt once again, kind of surprised everyone. - Yes, dude. - I'm so sorry to have to do this, but yee-haw, wedgie, you're heading to Mount Crunchmore. - Bye. - Oh, yeah. Mount Crunchmore! Let's go! Oh, the final dying moments. - Bye. - Gone but not forgotten. - So true, Jovan. - Alright, toy designers, the final event, King of the Hill, only one car will remain unshredded. Now there is a twist on this round. You know how you guys have made it this far and sort of made some enemies? Well, guess what, those enemies now have ghost cars. - Oh! - Ghost car drivers, who has wronged you up here? - The ladybug! - Oh, the ladybug! - I don't have any regrets. - So with the added threat of the ghost cars, the rules of our final game are simple, don't fall off the platform. If you do, you'll have 10 seconds to get back via the aptly named Ramp of Redemption. And if you don't make it back in time, you get to find out why we call this place CrunchLabs. - How are we feeling? - Good. - Nervous. - Zesty. - Are we ready? Three, two, one, go! - The round started off with an epic RC sumo wrestling match that quickly reminded the other drivers that Love Bug was the heaviest car in the game. - Oh! - Oh, here comes the ghost cars. - The ghost cars wreaked havoc, causing Metal Puppy to drive right off the platform. - Ah! They're off! - While Squirt found out that Love Bug wasn't nearly as nice as their name implied. And with a ten second timer counting down for both Squirt and Metal Puppy, they quickly dashed to the ramp of redemption, where lucky for them, just touching the platform was enough to reset the counter. From here, it was pretty much chaos. - Oh, lemon! - As Metal Puppy and Squirt tried over and over again to get back up on the platform, leaving Love Bug to have a nice relaxing chill sesh, barely having to use his immense inertia to swat away ghost cars like they were mere apparitions. - It's too heavy, it's too heavy. - Until finally, a persistent little squirt built up some speed and landed a mega hit to knock the king off the hill. But Squirt's reign was short-lived as a treacherous ghost car brought about its demise.

And with Metal Puppy having just too much speed for its own good, Love Bug was able to quickly retake its place as the king of the hill. Remembering all the jokes we made about it at the start. - Watch out, it squirts lemon juice. - Squirt was determined to prove us all wrong and make it back to the platform, ready for an epic showdown with Love Bug, until Metal Puppy showed up and marked its territory. Giving Squirt just 10 seconds to save itself from becoming fiberglass confetti. - Lemon! - And as the time ticked down, I felt really bad for Squirt until I remembered that it'd sprayed me in the face with lemon juice, like four different times. - To the shredder! Honestly, I had you guys going out first, so this is a victory. - Rude. - And now it's time to make some lemonade. I feel like this one's gonna smell good. - We have some bad news for you. - It's actually really dangerous to grind up fiberglass, so you're not allowed to do that. - You planned this. Mount Crushmore will take what she can. The final squirt. Oh! - We'll grow you again one day. - The final round, only two cars remain. There's just one little twist. It's not just the lighting, lights. The real twist is actually a twist. - No way. - Oh, that's so fast. No, no. - Ghost car drivers, are you ready? Toy engineer finalists, are you ready? - Yeah, you're going down, ladybug. - Three, two, one, go! - Whoa, whoa. - Careful, careful. - Oh, a deadlock. - Wait, careful, careful. - Yeah, go, go, go. - Here comes the ghost cars, kind of. Wow, ghost cars, I guess there's a reason you got out first. - Go, go! - Gotta get back up, clock's ticking. - You got it. All right. - Such a beast. - Wow! - What's happening? - Come on. All right, there we go. - Whoa. - And with that clutch comeback, it was time for the final showdown. - Nice, nice. - Oh, we got a ghost car. We had a ghost car. - Let's go, let's go. Go! - Oh, come on, oh. - Oh no! - After holding the platform for the entire round, Love Bug was finally taken down, and with Metal Puppy easily bouncing back-up on the platform, things weren't looking good for Love Bug, who had just one more shot at the win, but little did we know that Love Bug was about to do something that would make Metal Puppy absolutely flip out. And that thing was loose, which did indeed make metal puppy flip out. In celebration of their much deserved win. Now of course, all the toy engineers who lost today were a little disappointed, but they know failure is part of the engineering design process, which means they've now learned something to come back with an even better design next time. But they also had to be punished. - Mark, I have one last request. Can we give him like a farewell song or something? - Sure. Ooh! - That's a tough bug. - We love you love bug. - OK, team metal puppy, congratulations. As promised, you guys get 24 hours, let me just pull out of my wallet. The official CrunchLabs company gold card. - What is this?! - It's the company gold car.
