How To Build Your Own Desktop Turret Robot!

[@thechunwu]

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.

[@vaguedestruction]

wow

[@stormfire451]

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.

[@arsalan-kazmi]

CSE student myself. It's a beautiful step to teach people Hardware and Software integration.

[@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.

[@TheRealSlimo]

its not private anymore

[@itchybarn]

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

[@Keltseym]

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.

[@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 😊

[@kriiler]

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. ❤

[@bethrichards2640]

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!

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

[@ThisisactuallyNolan]

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

[@HoveyFarms]

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

[@Preston10921]

This was such a fun project and so well explained! Thanks Mark!

[@henryjacobs-lo6sk]

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

[@acerniss]

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

[@MargarethRigonato]

Mark, I can't seem to find the metal bolts for step 7, can you help me?

[@Itzplayz189]

I have the same problem

[@racheljohnson1620]

if you're looking for silver ones, they've been changed to blacked.

[@gabrielnotgabriel9572]

Mine did the same. Have you found a solution?

[@JackH_IsHim]

@ well I think my dad emailed and no response

[@UMAI113]

What if u make the rubber band stronger?

[@randomgamergy924]

Why does my turret always go down when I turn it on?

[@souporwormgaming]

Cant wait for mine to arrive!

[@unnecessarilyrepeatedvideos]

does the hack pack come with the software attachments

[@parkerlittleton9005]

I like Dan. He seems cool 😊

[@WGWP]

Is there a way to order the turret robot individually without it being a subscription but just one thing?

[@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.

[@Roufoxx]

Actually, you have to press the button until it rotates enough to fire a dart, and then you can stop. It doesn't matter if the robot knows or not the angle

[@adanrraguev6126]

Hi I really liked the turret. and I just want to buy the turret Would it be possible to buy just the turret? :)thanks

[@seanmartin7837]

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

if the remote isnt connecting how do i make it cuz it wont connect

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?
