  • 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 CZcams 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

    How exactly do you make the punching arm? It would be really fun just to smack a ball across the room without hurting your hand.

    "Or you could just go with my route":
    - Earn a bachelor's degree in engineering
    - Earn a master's degree in engineering
    - Work at NASA for nearly a decade
    - Spend another decade tinkering and building gadgets
    - Build an entire CZcams channel and lab dedicated towards unique engineering problems and solutions
    - Create a custom gadget costing hundreds of dollars to win $30 worth of stuff an at arcade
    But I for one am glad that he chose this!

    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.

    the pez trick was so cool - shows that you don't need computers and a 3D printer and an arduino to do engineering.

    The Pez trick was an amazing example of the engineering mindset. Figure out a solution to a problem using whatever you have available :)
