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.

[@clintsimmons1786]

ditto - was like someone rolled back time to 10yr old me on Christmas morning and my first Erector set.

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.

[@JustinsRealmMC]

Never make these videos private. It even entices people to buy your boxes.

[@TheVilivan]

Yeah, I'd love to be able to watch these videos, they're so good

[@landonsims9153]

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.

[@SIimoYoutube]

its not private anymore

[@itchybarn]

The point is that if you get the stuff you can watch these videos

[@JustinAMcAfee]

This is absolutely awesome. Ive been building CrunchLab boxes with my kids and was always jealous! This was the perfect thing 🎉

[@jeremytoepp8704]

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.

[@MissMyMusicAddiction]

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 😊

[@henryjacobs-lo6sk]

best box ever gave it to my grandson and he absolutely loves it

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

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. ❤

This is so exciting! Great to see these fascinating projects finally targeting a more mature audience, it sounds so fun to learn from :)

[@parkerlittleton9005]

I like Dan. He seems cool 😊

Did anyone else instantly subscribe to the HavkPack?😁😁😁

[@Korobka309]

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?

[@SuperBootsthedog]

This is awesome

[@TheNmesomaStars]

I love learning stuff❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't have the box but i can watch the video. ❤

[@jjbasic3041]

The big one at the FRC event was cool to see

[@sarun37823]

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?

[@clintsimmons1786]

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.

[@sarun37823]

@@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.

[@clintsimmons1786]

@@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.

[@Matrix-Mirage]

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

[@collynsmynah5558]

Wow dope

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.

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?

[@abhidevgigi2416]

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

[@otherlego]

Okay from what I can tell the bullets are connected via electromagnets and when the magnets turn off the rubber band launches it.

[@aerowalker3]

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.
