  • I built 5 robots to beat the 5 most popular arcade games. If you want to unlock the magic of engineering in your life, go to Studio.com/Markrober (for teenagers and older) OR Crunchlabs.com/MarkRober (for teenagers and younger).
    I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the juicy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com
    You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs UA-cam channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- / crunchlabs
    And if you want that backpack (minus the contraptions to win all the games), you can find it here- markrober.store/collections/b...
    Yes that is the plants vs zombies music! Credit to the inimitable Laura Shigihara- / supershigi

    Hey Mark, I have a suggestion for the basketball one, instead of making the ball up and down all the time, you can just make it like it goes down for first time and a ring come with 100 holes and it spins so you will score kind of 50 points in a sec instead of two as the speed of ring or disc will be very fast as compared to your invention

      late reply, kinda off-topic too, but the minecraft disk song "wait" was playing in my head just now, and I saw your comment saying " worth the *wait* "

    The fact that Mark knows not everyone can make these creations at their home and instead giving them physical tips to gain an advantage on the games, would be amazing if he sold a buck load of them though

    I worked at an arcade that had a customer who was the best skee-ball player I have ever seen. He had a technique of banking balls off a rail into the highest score hole every time and would clean out the ticket hopper multiple times during his visit.
