I am an engineer in trade now for over 15 years and it felt like Christmas when the hackpack arrived. Amazing integration and made me feel like a kid again.
Mark! Your crunch lab boxes have been such a joy to build with my son. Thank you for your expertise and constant excitement for learning. 🎉 We watch ALL of your videos. He is so inspired by you, he LOVES science and you have made it more exciting for the entire family.
I'm really glad this is public because when i saw the price i thought it was WAY too expensive and just a "youtuber tax" but after watching this and looking up prices for relevant parts I am really glad to see that this is priced reasonably and is extremely well put together and thought out. keep doing the great work. Although i might not buy it, this is an amazing product and gives me inspiration on small projects i can setup for myself to better my knowledge in microcontrollers.
End of career engineer, with a retired IT professional, looking for things to keep our brains active, keep exploring, and stave off mental atrophy. We can not wait to get our first kit. Thank you so much!
I can see where you’re trying to go with this, but these videos are more meant to be tutorials on how to assemble what’s inside the boxes, not for entertainment.
Awesome project. I’m a data scientist and have been coding in Python and R for almost 10 years. I’ve been wanting to get into arduino for several years now but haven’t known where to start. Just finished building it and I’m hooked! My 3rd grade son has been doing crunch labs since the beginning and has grown immensely, but is wanting to learn more about coding. Hack packs will be the perfect project for us to work on together.
just received and assembled mine. i'm so glad that you developed an adult version of the kiddie projects. even though i've been coding since a billion years ago, i've never programmed a microcontroller and servos 😊
this is just beautiful. the first crunch lab build kits teaches us about pure mechanics while hackpack combines the mechanical side of the product with electronics side. ❤
There are 6 on the cylinder, evenly spaced so that firing one is just a single 60-degree spin of the cylinder to move the clip holder over the launch trip.
@@clintsimmons1786 My understanding is you can't spin RC servo by exactly-or-approximately 60 degrees because the potentiometer got removed from the servo to enable 360-degree movement.
@@sarun37823 yea, that seems true. The single-push is just spins it in approximately that amount. If you hold the push longer it spins more, do a quicker push and it'll take 2 pushes to move it past the trigger point.
I recently got a micro bit which is a small device you can code thats kind of like the Arduino but smaller and comes with buttons and sensors and I'm thinking of coding the micro bit to work with every single one of these Hack Packs
@@GetYourRyOn I verified that the battery worked too in some other remote I had. This was after connecting the board to my computer and downloading the necessary drivers. I put everything back and reconnected the power supply and it just worked.🤷
Love the idea can you make one we’re u can buy own parts and just have instructions, just don’t have a lot money would be awesome to get into these projects.
I still don't understand how the magnetic bullets work i mean how is the bullet released ,cause i don't see how is the end of the bullet released so that it can fire, pls explain
It’s even simpler. Remember in the video when testing the bullets? You push the rubber band in the back up. The firing plate has a little point right at the top. So when the barrel rotates, the back rubber band is pushed up by that little point. No magnets or power needed.
hey mark, you might want to make a video about building your own 50 mill subscriber plaque on your mark rober channel with another youtuber. make it look like a piece of engine complex mechanical device or whatever

ditto - was like someone rolled back time to 10yr old me on Christmas morning and my first Erector set.
wow
CSE student myself. It's a beautiful step to teach people Hardware and Software integration.

Never make these videos private. It even entices people to buy your boxes.
Yeah, I'd love to be able to watch these videos, they're so good
I can see where you’re trying to go with this, but these videos are more meant to be tutorials on how to assemble what’s inside the boxes, not for entertainment.
its not private anymore
The point is that if you get the stuff you can watch these videos

39 and got mine today. Thank you Mark and team for helping me learn something I've always wanted to take to the next level.
Im 22 about to order
@@bigred7312 it’s pretty awesome! Hope you enjoy as much as I am 🙏🥳

This is absolutely awesome. Ive been building CrunchLab boxes with my kids and was always jealous!
This was the perfect thing 🎉
Mark never fails to entertain us!
Mark never fails to put out bangers 🔥
This was so fun to build and mess around with I just got my appendix removed and couldn’t do much so this was great
best box ever gave it to my grandson and he absolutely loves it
I wish this was available internationally.
It is
@@Beneatslolly sadly it's only avaliable in the US and Canada
@@arthurbissi technically international
@@shout-message yeah, but i meant for like countries in Europe and others
Im a beginner engineer and I love this turret as a starter!!
This is so exciting! Great to see these fascinating projects finally targeting a more mature audience, it sounds so fun to learn from :)
Cant wait for mine to arrive!
I got them but haven't had time to put them together. Time will slow down this winter and this will be my first project
I can’t find the metal bolts.
3d print a few of the cylinders and pre load them with projectiles so you can reload fast
Kind of like a magazine
Project based learning to an other level. Unfortunately, I live in the EU and can't buy the product. But thanks to you I've been inspired :)
same
Just wondering why is it that you cannot buy it?
@@strifedimauro4327 they only ship to us and Canada
@@strifedimauro4327It’s only available in the US and Canada
Was thinking about this last week, so excited it came out now! Please make it available in Europe/Intl 🙏
I like Dan. He seems cool 😊
This was such a fun project and so well explained! Thanks Mark!
Dear Mark, what do you think of the idea of making a robot similar in design to Chopsticks, but instead of a piano it will be a whole drum kit?
What if u make the rubber band stronger?
Hi
I really liked the turret.
and I just want to buy the turret
Would it be possible to buy just the turret?
:)thanks
Why does my turret always go down when I turn it on?
Im glad you make education actually fun!!
does the hack pack come with the software attachments
Mark, I can't seem to find the metal bolts for step 7, can you help me?
I have the same problem
Did anyone else instantly subscribe to the HavkPack?😁😁😁
It’s cool I liked building it but my on and off switch isn’t working
Can you get this in the uk
At 17:33, if the robot doesn't know the servo angle, how is it able to fire a single shot?
Does the single-shot firing work reliably all the time?

Where can I buy a hackpack
My pitch servo was uncontrollable and goofing out, overheated and just stopped working. Do I just need a replacement?
Mine did the same. Have you found a solution?
@ well I think my dad emailed and no response
I can t connect it to my laptop
I feel like i just stepped up 10 levels to becoming a mechanical engineer. I can't wait for the next to come!
Where are the metal bolts at step 7
@ If you can’t find some of the parts, contact the support team and they can send some.
Hi mark I’m your first comment and this video helped
if the remote isnt connecting how do i make it cuz it wont connect
I recently got a micro bit which is a small device you can code thats kind of like the Arduino but smaller and comes with buttons and sensors and I'm thinking of coding the micro bit to work with every single one of these Hack Packs
Por qué no hay uno en español?
One Problem its not the Star button for Roulette its # xD
Random Roulette is the Hashtag, not the star button. This drove us crazy until we dug into the code!
How do I code it if a friend enters the wrong passcode, it will shoot at them?
I love learning stuff❤❤❤❤❤❤
When does the next one get shipped?
im pretty sure its every two months
Love it but can you make it internationall because my son wants to get it please 🙏 thank you for understanding
It now delivers to the EU❤
Love the new idea
I didn't get one I just scaned a qr code on a mark rober box in his video
…. The only way to see this video is to scan the QR in the box of the hack pack turret
@bestplayer8471 I did but in one of his videos
Is there a possible way to get only the turret for 66$
Software engineer Students, it is the perfect tools to train what i will learn
I put it together and when I turn it on it just shoots up or down and I can’t move it can someone help
Same idk what to do
It's cause u put it on wrong
@@GoofyGoober3422 oh well, thank you that’s a really detailed description on how to fix it
i figured it out, it was because i gotta burnt out motor
This looks awesome already ordered
My remote is not working with the turret. Does anyone have any suggestions?
@@thechunwuthx. That is a really useful tip.
@@mattburke7151 What was the tip? Looks like they deleted their comment. I too am having an issue with the remote.
Same here, what advice did you receive?
Samsies. I checked the 3V battery in the remote and it was over 3V so it’s not the batt. What was the tip @thechunwu?
@@GetYourRyOn I verified that the battery worked too in some other remote I had. This was after connecting the board to my computer and downloading the necessary drivers. I put everything back and reconnected the power supply and it just worked.🤷
Did this just get leaked
Nice job. Really impressive what you all put together, here. Looking forward to trying it myself someday.
How do you charge the battery pack?
There is a USB-C port on the battery pack you can charge with.
The big one at the FRC event was cool to see
i dont understand and need some help when i plug in the microcontoler to my laptop it does not show as connected
You have to read the directions under the Arduino Crash Course Video in the coding page
is this only for the us?
us and canada
Do i need to charge the battery?
Mine was charged.
I still have the normal one I have 2 years until this
Thinking like a engineer
So cool!!!
NO EU SHIPPING 😞
Now it does❤
My roll motor won't work. :(
Please help me, where are the metal bolts at part 7
How do you get it?
I don't have the box but i can watch the video. ❤
Uhhh… I don’t have the hack pack…
torquier?? that a word? ;) great products guys!!!
It’s a Mark Rober word :)
This is awesome
I NEED THIS, AND I'M GETTING IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how to buy juste one boxes
Ahhh… you can’t do that yet. Maybe soon!
Love the idea can you make one we’re u can buy own parts and just have instructions, just don’t have a lot money would be awesome to get into these projects.
Its not working for me The remote won't connect.
Same
@@Icyofficial1111 Im glad Im not the only one :)
@@cesss98 I fixed it though you need to get batteries
@@Icyofficial1111 ok thanks
@@cesss98 pull the thing out that has the battery then replace it
Amazing!
Is this mark rover?
buying one instantly. I had a arduino but i didn't know how to code on it or what to do with it. hopefully that will change.
I still don't understand how the magnetic bullets work i mean how is the bullet released ,cause i don't see how is the end of the bullet released so that it can fire, pls explain
Okay from what I can tell the bullets are connected via electromagnets and when the magnets turn off the rubber band launches it.
It’s even simpler. Remember in the video when testing the bullets? You push the rubber band in the back up. The firing plate has a little point right at the top. So when the barrel rotates, the back rubber band is pushed up by that little point. No magnets or power needed.
please make it available in EU 🙏
Wow dope
i dont have a hack pack, im honestly just here to understand how a ir remote works
To bad you are not shipping to EU :/ , hope it will be soon for EU available
i hope
i want one
what is 77 times 77 plus 77 divided by 0
I do believe it’s 0 :)
I thought it was zero but my calculator says “Undefined”
I need this
Does anyone know if I can buy just one box?
Not yet, but maybe soon!
I just got this video on my recommendation feed
hey mark, you might want to make a video about building your own 50 mill subscriber plaque on your mark rober channel with another youtuber. make it look like a piece of engine complex mechanical device or whatever
How can you hate mark robber
Ojalá solo se pudiera comprar 1
i dont have a hack pack but im still watching i dont know how
Make robot arm, Is gonna be amazing.
I did not have a box LOL
Me too
i would like the design so i could make it at home
I didn’t buy it but I just saw this video
