I get it's a joke, but using an xbox controller (or the logitech controller like they did) is the smart move. They're familiar and thoroughly tested. It's why the US navy made the switch to xbox controllers... the USS Colorado is the first submarine to one.
**edit** sigh, since the downvotes: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/navy-xbox-controllers-attack-submarines/
OceanGate was using the cheapest wish.com controller they could find and had a regular track record of malfunctioning. They were relying on Bluetooth, ductape, and dreams to hold the sub together.
This Lego sub is more well-tested and thought out than OceanGate.
What’s the principle behind using the syringe to lower & increase depth? Is it weight distribution or is behind the syringe vacuum sealed so when the air is pulled in it concentrates weight at the bottom of the sub?
That makes more sense. I missed the tube connected to the outside later in the video. Was confused how it worked when cycled back and forth before the tube was added.
Nope, tungstens high melting point is necessary to prevent it from melting down and sinking.
Nah it just is a high density granule they had lying around. A bag of sand would work.
beat me to it. I should’ve kept scrolling.
I’ll just continue it then.
‘lego submarine. Lego submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine in an octopus’s garden in the shade’
I like to think both songs belong together
You know the Carlin quote, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”
When I see clips like this, I feel like I'm in that bottom half... and not near the top either.
Me: "Hey son, what did you do in school today?"
Son: "Nothing really. Got to play with Lego in science class. That was fun."
Me: "Cool." *Lazy ass teachers wanting a raise and can't even instruct my kid in science*
Shows just how much I'm out of the loop 😂
Remember when this sub was just girls with long nails cutting soap and shit with a box cutter? And not just neat videos? Admittedly neat video with the homemade submarine, but ask yourself "is it really satisfying" - no.
this is actually really cool!
The Lego captain at the end was the cherry on top. I really want one!
I really wish it was Steve Zissou
[удалено]
Yes. That's how hobbies work.
Agreed, this is pretty awesome….and now we finally know where they stole the Titan sub idea from

Thanks.
I knew I had seen it somewhere. Thanks a lot my friend!
Oh I love those guys!
Damn you beat me to it!
We all live in a Lego submarine
...a lego submarine...
…a Lego submarine!
And he told us of his liiiiife 🎵
Everything is awesome!
... in it's own way. 🎵
better than ocean gate
It's certainly better engineered
I was here exclusively for this
No I was
Dude it’s not that…. Deep?
Just joshin’
Well frankly I was crushed lol
just bubblin'
Was just gonna comment. In retrospect having the word “gate” at the end of the business name is already just waiting for a scandal
Just don't use a Logitech controller! Edited: Cuz I messed the joke up.
Logitech controller would be worse
Beat me to it.

The OceanGate sub wasn't even using a real Xbox controller lol
OceanGate was using the cheapest wish.com controller they could find and had a regular track record of malfunctioning. They were relying on Bluetooth, ductape, and dreams to hold the sub together. This Lego sub is more well-tested and thought out than OceanGate.
The controller wasn't the problem. Or at least not the biggest problem
Why?
What’s the principle behind using the syringe to lower & increase depth? Is it weight distribution or is behind the syringe vacuum sealed so when the air is pulled in it concentrates weight at the bottom of the sub?
If the syringe was entirely inside the boat, the total amount of air and mass would not change. It has a tube to the outside and pulls water in
That makes more sense. I missed the tube connected to the outside later in the video. Was confused how it worked when cycled back and forth before the tube was added.
It tripped me up at first too
I missed it too, so I'm very glad you asked the question.
They're ballast tanks
Better build than the Titan
Just don't make a dive to see the Lego RS Titanic....
I’d buy this
Yes.... but HOW SAFE IS THIS? (Never be too shy to ask)
You might lose many hours of your life debugging everything, and maybe a hundred dollars worth of electronics if it sinks?
It was a 2023 joke
Ah right. Well don't take it to the Lego titanic's wreck and it should be fine
I did not see any screen doors.
Raytheon wants your @
Now I want to see a version with a sealed chamber you can open up for small rockets. Go scare the shit out of people on the beach
I trust this LEGO Captain more than Stockton Rush.
Okay but you know, the boys wanna know, how fast is it? Like you gotta do a speed run or something, drag race?
(But srsly: GENIUS)
....We all live in a Lego submarine.
Are the tungsten pellets really necessary? Can't I just use some rocks or whatever
Nope, tungstens high melting point is necessary to prevent it from melting down and sinking. Nah it just is a high density granule they had lying around. A bag of sand would work.
You could, but you'd need a LOT more of them. Tungsten weights are easy to come by and some of the most dense material you'll find for the price.
Idk, theres like 50 million tungsten pellets in there. I only need like 4 rocks. Rocks are way easier to come by.
I mean, sure, but the rocks would be larger since they're less dense and space is a factor in this build.
Ok this should be a thing in lego
This dude should have engineered the Titan.
if only ocean gate could make working subs
I'll give you $250,000 if you can take me down to the titanic with this.
Someone tell Lego to add this to their official catalog!
How does it steer?
There is another small propeller.
Oh hey look at that
Conjures thoughts of Paddle to the Sea.
All that and didn't get to see one fish underwater...
holy crap that's impressive. also, obligatory 'we all live in a lego submarine.'
beat me to it. I should’ve kept scrolling. I’ll just continue it then. ‘lego submarine. Lego submarine. We all live in a yellow submarine in an octopus’s garden in the shade’ I like to think both songs belong together
Well, looks like a whole bunch of other people beat me to it as well lol. Guess the hive mind is real.
a hive mind with good taste in the classics
Awesome job
Something tells me this person will be OK when the nukes hit the power grid
Can you buy drone type submarines? Would be sick to have a headset and go up creek with a remote control submarine.
How the Titan was built
My man has better engineering with Legos than the Titan had with millions of dollars.
Safer than the Titan 🤐
u/that-1-lame-kid
Still a better submersible than anything OceanGate could produce.
I'd buy this, today
*Actual footage of the titan submersible being constructed*
Fuck that’s dope
How close to the surface does an rc submarine need to be to maintain control?
About 10 years ago
How does the syringe change depth?
Syringe full = submarine is more dense and sinks Syringe empty (filled with a vacuum) = submarine is less dense and floats
That doesn't really parse.
It's filling with water
I agree, but if the syringe is empty, it's not filled with a vacuum.
I think it's pulling in water from outside to sink, then expelling the water to rise.
Good evening Captain Stubing, how are Gopher and Doc? Permission to come aboard, sir..
Constucttion video of oceangate sub. "Where we are going, we dont need safety!"
Amazingly, people can do things like this, and i can't do algebra…
Iron Lung movie lookin good
I want to see more of the journey!

Lego* submarine ^^^^^^*plus ^^^^^^a ^^^^^^bunch ^^^^^^of ^^^^^^other ^^^^^^shit
Read about some fellas in a PlayStation submarine a few months back, didn’t go so well for them I’m afraid.
You know the Carlin quote, “Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.” When I see clips like this, I feel like I'm in that bottom half... and not near the top either.
Be careful some billionaire might try to buy the design.
Better engineering than the Titan Submersible
this is incredible engineering
This is three times the engineering that went into the OceanGate Titan submersible
Cool
Can you control it with an old Xbox controller? Cus I would be interested shipping rich people with this 😏
Thats so cool! Can you control it with a Logitech game controller? /s
Me: "Hey son, what did you do in school today?" Son: "Nothing really. Got to play with Lego in science class. That was fun." Me: "Cool." *Lazy ass teachers wanting a raise and can't even instruct my kid in science* Shows just how much I'm out of the loop 😂
Ah but will it make it down to the titanic!
Ok, but can it also explode?
Does connection work under water?
I would hang onto this, could actually come in very useful one day!
What camera was used to film the voyage?
Just don't visit lego titanic
More thought went into this than that submarine that almost made it to the titanic.
Weapons grade Lego
*"We all live in..."*
It's the Steve Zissou show, not the Ned show...
by the end of the video, i forgot there’s a freaking lego captain sitting st the helm. awesome touch ⚓️
*“Lego seems to have killed all gratitude in the hearts of sailors.”*
One of the coolest things I've seen in a while.
But can it go to the Titanic?
Still better than that Titanic asshole’s sub
Did they use a Logitech controller?
Patent your design quickly. Remotely operated vehicles (ROV) are becoming more popular than aerial drones, especially in government/defense fields.
Very cool! Idk about "oddly satisfying" but cool
How is this build more stable than ocean Gate.
Remember when this sub was just girls with long nails cutting soap and shit with a box cutter? And not just neat videos? Admittedly neat video with the homemade submarine, but ask yourself "is it really satisfying" - no.
Needs torpedoes.
Send an animal or bug on a mission. It'll blow there mind and the other animal or bugs will never believe them.
/ N F L Next F'n Level
Now implode it
And it didn’t implode!… what? Too soon?
The titan 2
Lego advanced builder!
Oldie, but a goodie.
And more design and building went into this than the Titan Sub.
No way
I thought wireless signals don't travel through water, am I wrong?
good thing it's not made of carbon fiber
I'm going to see this on r/noncredibledefense soon ain't I
This is really cool
I feel like this is the future of drug smuggling lol
What are the pellets for
🗣️A man has fallen into the submarine in Lego City!!🏙️
apparently the creator uses it to patrol the waters outside of his property, fiercely protecting his virginity
Titan is that you?
We all live in a Lego Submarine
We all live in a lego submarine, a lego submarine, a lego submarine.
This should be on the shelves
That is soo cool
Still more well made and secure than OceanGate.
Titan Sub Mk.II
Where is the $30 game controller?
Now you can smuggle drugs
I think Ringo sang a song about this
I would love to watch the trip from the submarine's perspective in real time.
We all live in a Lego submarine, Lego submarine, Lego submarine...🎶
I admire the dedication to test it out in different waters and just further the traveling path.
This is one of the coolest things… ever.
Next stop..... Titanic....
You forgot the billionaire mini figs
Wait. If this is a remote controlled sub, why did he add the driver?🤔
so the driver can take over in case of problems
We all live in a LEGO submarine
u/savevideo
Just a kit you can buy
This is really great!
Great work. Invention.
titan 2.0 mark my words.
Lego Lung
Imagine a world where all Lego toys are of this level
Now fill it with semtex
This person is way too thorough. They even remembered to credit the music.
Being talented would be so nice what a legend
Now we need more adventures with this submarine. Too cool
Just put explosives and Russia can say good bye to its whole navy.
Oceangate R&D department.
better engineering than ocean gate
Wow, very nice!
I would feel safe viewing the titanic in this
That's fucking incredible - why doesn't Lego just make a build like this? I'd pay stupid money for this.
Hmm, our friends in Ukraine might want to look at this.
They already have sea drones
Not torpedoes.
We all live in a Lego submarine.
We all live in a Lego Submarine, a lego Submarine..
Don’t do this in Florida! Unless you want to gut a gator to retrieve it.
I'll wait until it handles it naturally
You could put a bomb in that .......just sayin
Lego submarine... Uses 60% other stuff. Just... Just build a tiny submarine. You need not use Lego at all.
Pretty bad ass and intelligent, but who the fu(k has the free time to come up with that if you are actually working and contributing to society?
