We Built A Squirrel Car To Spy On Squirrels

Wow, what a horrible scene, Mandy. I hope it doesn't take those kids too long to clean up all that blood. What an inspiring story you are watching Broken News Network BNN and below we have some breaking news that we will be broadcasting live. into the field with reporter Danny who will tell you a pretty crazy story, take it away Danny, so I'd really like to know more about your conservation efforts and what you've done so far to preserve the

squirrel

population. Oh yeah, well, I could talk all day about that. I think that if we all get a little closer to nature, not to each other, aha, we could come to understand it a little better, aha, and then, do you understand a little more? about us yeah I'm here with a local man Ian hi what a nice young man Danny so what kind of story do you have for us today?

Ian is really interested in conserving the

squirrel

population, it means a lot to him, we are here. to protect the

squirrels

, save them and relocate them. I think it's important that we start treating the scrolls with a little more respect. What kind of bad things are people doing to

squirrels

? What are people doing to squirrels? They are feeding the squirrels with bread. all kinds of starches make them fat it's not nutritious sometimes I just give them cheese and crackers I give it to the squirrel right off the bat it's not good for everyone if you want to raise a healthy population of squirrels you're going to want to feed them grapes frozen cuts, without cheese and crackers.

What comes next is a fantastic story, an extremely awkward transition, so what exactly is the problem we are trying to solve today? Well, I have a program in my program called the Save the Squirrels Initiative. The goal of the initiative is to save the squirrels. He is super fat. I don't know what he's been eating. He has loose claws. My biggest problem is these squirrels. My area hates people. I hope you're ready for freedom, but you don't need to be afraid of me. I'm just relocating them. I don't do anything wrong, but you're scared of you because of other people, his profile, man, you've been profiled as the old white guy walking off Reds property with his big belly hanging out.

We were talking, you know, meet my neighbors. He looks a lot like me when I hang out with my dad. This is a real person. Yeah, I don't think they can tell us apart very well. I can look around corners and see them. but as soon as I get more than a sliver out of my eyes, it's actually yes, right away, that's why I have to use the trail cameras. I need something a little easier so we can go with the squirrels and they won't be afraid of them. and they are not afraid, maybe like some kind of National Geographic car with a squirrel on it, like the squirrel mobile, we get an RC car, a remote control car and we build a fake rock on it, we can do it like a robot of battle.

We are the rock, we train the neighbor to be afraid of the squirrel, just like the sprouts, they spit on the neighbor, okay, going back to the rock is a palpable idea, right, I think I can live with that, so this It is the base of the car that we will use. I machined these brackets yesterday on the CNC router, videographer John, do you want to build the rock for this? Ian and I will compile information on how the rock should look to blend in with the surroundings. Let's go Team. I mean, how about something like? this no that's not that's not quite right like southern California wrong what direction what's the direction this rock is actually called potato chip rock aren't you going to like something like a granite countertop yeah, really yeah Oh , thanks Cameron John, let's bring It's cellulose clay, so we have to paint it like a rock never painted.

Oh yeah, no, I could do this. Okay, perfect. Let's mix black and white. Okay, oh wow, it's 2019, guys, a lot whiter. George Black, choose your job too. a lot of black rather, fine Courage, the cowardly dog, yes, yes, he terrified me when I was a child. Watching that episode, we're like they turned into babies. Courage must like making macaroni and cheese. I need what kind of experience in painting. You got, I sold a painting, a very abstract painting when I was a young entrepreneur, I sold it on eBay for $10, hey man, 10 bucks is 10 bucks, shipping or no shipping, uh, no shipping, okay, shipping was like 15, what were you going to do before?

Tell Irie this like when she played World of Warcraft. He had a Russian friend called Al leg, he was an apprentice electrician and I thought it was the funniest thing to be an apprentice electrician because he was like that for about three years and I was like. At what point do you feel something that you find on the Internet about you can't? It looks like a paint-splattered rock. Oh, I have an idea. Oh, you sure take Han Solo's Carbonite sound effects like that. And we did it? No, it was just me, okay, should we see what it looks like with a squirrel on top?

Yeah, how did we get to the fact that we bought a taxidermy squirrel and eBay or did I just do it? This squirrel was ethically sourced, that's what the seller said. Yes, it was that this squirrel was of ethical origin, as if, it died of natural causes. No, no, no, the squirrel with whatever is in here was ethically sourced. Does this count as recycling or recycling? This sounds so retaining this has like a thick eBay logo. the front of the box I'm afraid it's a lie it's going to bite me oh my god wait it doesn't even look that strange kind of disappointed it wasn't like Best Buy next step uh-oh you want?

Robotic squirrel playing reunion sounds from its Bluetooth feature you'll soon be able to wander around, but first, it's not every day we did some real science on the William Osmond Channel, the fog is rolling in, which is perfect for the spooky atmosphere we want for the squirrel car. What are we doing? Did I say science? Yes, it is science. Science and horror are combining right now. Can we talk about the definition of science real quick? What Adam Savage says, as long as you write it down, quotes someone receiving a ransom note. I have the remote control of the car, so I will drive the car.

I will be monitoring the squirrels' movement and the squirrels' phrasing. If we take a look under the hood, let's take a look under the hood. Under the hood we have a piece of plywood. glued to the cardboard casing with a battery, an RC receiver and a servo motor, the servo motor is connected with a clip to this piece of wood that the squirrel is zip tied to alex' it's like, what are you going to do screw or hit the squirrel? like the car has a GoPro and a Bluetooth speaker attached, otherwise it's a completely original RC car and you can make it at home, you can replace it for the $300, let's put the hood back on it and deliver the bait and the female squirrel in heat, Like I see like three or four out there Oh God, we should have chosen the more expensive car now that we're paying for cheating.

The plan is that I'm going to play the squirrel sounds we have in heat and we're going to do some movement, okay? I don't see anything there's still a little movement but I'm pretty sure it's definitely just the wind. Oh, we're standing right on the same scent line. We just invented a new scientific term. I told you we do science here. scent line I wish I'd come closer but the trouble is really caught up in this yeah perfect you're a live beacon yeah they know the science is happening you guys tryna stay away well here we go we're calling you . notice how the cattails look exactly like this curly hair as if mixed with the pants they are in the right biome we're going to have to despair before words like sing growth literally know it and now they are, they're just gone it's too cold there in the squirrel holes and a squirrel in heat and a lot of peanuts is not enough to get them out even though the aggressive one with the big one all right another day as quickly as the squirrels had appeared they had disappeared from their burrows to spend the night and they escaped from this corner, however, many creatures still remained upstairs unaware of the heartless mechanical squirrel and join the wheeled robot that terrorizes the park.

Well, those two trees in the real sport, you see, there's like six trees, Michael, so the two trees. to the left that's why I said to the left it's right there it's right there well yeah just come back tomorrow after a night's rest our heroes had high hopes ready to film squirrels in the wild I don't know I don't know Do you think they know which is a dead squirrel, just like you think about what we're doing from a human perspective, like we took a human that killed them and stuffed them, it was like propping them up and playing like yelling at me didn't seem like it. to be working, I can't imagine why we need a squirrel year and something that likes to give it an appropriate scent because maybe there's something about the funny smell that I think is a moral problem with us and not with the squirrels, okay, like we're overzealous, well, I mean, again, you want to put urine on the team like we're already trying, like we literally gave it like three minutes mm-hmm, like a very valid point, yeah.

What we have noticed is that the moment we arrive with a car, all the squirrels we have seen leave immediately. I just accidentally replayed some sort of Amazon review of the squirrel product. People use it in the review phase. Here today, we are closing schools, no. We put out food that doesn't work. These squirrels just aren't single and are ready to mingle. The new plan is to see that one right behind you, yes, or drive it at full speed. Okay, Denna did it if you see me scaring this girl, so I thought we could also scare the younger ones, hey she, the super predators.

I think assessing the situation, what we're about to see is a final showdown against the super predator and it's basically a long lasting savage, it's just munching on some nuts and the super predator. not fast enough unfortunately another day without eating, well friends we were unsuccessful and we tried a lot of different things and we are sad, the goal was to at least attract growth to the card and I think that is what we have done. It's exactly the opposite, maybe we should talk to someone who has more experience dealing with captive squirrels and understands the behavior a little better.

I don't know, I thought I was a lot more knowledgeable about this topic than I really am. tweets that say man you're so smart mmm you're so hyper intelligent you know a lot about squirrels did that feel like a fall? Yes, I feel a little honored. I have squirrels in my house, as you know, and without people. around place the trail camera and see if there is a real and genuine reaction room, the squirrels do it, you are going to finish, that said it was not going to finish the cake so you can divide the cake.

Oh, excellent.
