My name is Mike Boyd and a while ago I made a video documenting my process of learning a new skill in a really short amount of time. That idea seemed to resonate with people, so I decided to learn a bunch of other skills. Every month I pick a new challenge and try to conquer it as quickly as possible. Hopefully this content inspires you to learn something new too. Leave a comment telling me what you think and let me know if you have a suggestion for a new challenge. Enjoy the videos! :)

In this episode I build a robot that plays the Elden Ring DLC: Shadow of the Erdtree because it's simply too hard. I created a robot from solenoids, Lego and an Arduino that plays Elden Ring for me on repeat. The question is: Will it make any difference?

I got the chance to ask Olympic Medal winners 2 questions each. Their answers were surprising.

In this episode I find out how long it will take me to bench press my own bodyweight, pullup 1.5 x my bodyweight and deadlift twice my bodyweight. At the time of filming I weighed 70 kg (154 lbs). Apparently this puts you in the top 5% of the population in terms of strength. I'm not sure about that, but deadlifts sure are hard!
Filmed at Block10 in Dundee.

In this week's episode I try to lead my first on sight trad climb with @WideBoyz's Pete Whitaker. The aim was to do swinging leads on a 3 pitch climb with me taking the lead on pitches 1 and 3. Since there were no bolts, I'd have to learn to place my own protection.
