Peek Inside Your First Few Boxes

Box 1

Infrared Turret

STEM Principle: IR Communication

Box 1

Infrared Turret

IR Communication

The IR Turret uses infrared communication to rotate, aim, and execute commands with precision - like launching foam darts randomly in a game of roulette, or awaiting the proper passcode to lock-out younger siblings or other unwanted users. With IR Turret, the sky’s the limit: go rogue hacking it!

Box 2

Domino Robot

STEM Principle: H-Bridges

Box 2

Domino Robot

H-Bridges

The Domino Robot uses light sensors to detect tape beneath the robot, allowing you to lay out a path and have it set up dominos for you automatically! Level up your robot even further by hacking on the IR sensor from the IR Turret build, and making your Domino Robot remote controllable!

Box 3

Label Maker

STEM Principle: Stepper Motor

Box 3

Label Maker

Stepper Motor

The Label Maker is a robot that can write infinitely on a roll of tape, so you can create cool labels and robotic art with the power of programming. Starting out, it has only a simple alphabet, but with the power of code you can hack it to draw custom emojis, prank your friends by changing their label, and even play games!

Box 4

Sand Garden

STEM Principle: Polar Coordinates

Box 4

Polar Coordinates

The Sand Garden uses math and algorithms to draw complex patterns. You get 10 different patterns pre-loaded to draw in the circular bed of sand. But by using helper functions in the code, you can draw any pattern that you can imagine! Change parameters and hack code to create your very own designs!

Laser Tag

STEM Principle: Light Collimation

Box 5

Laser Tag

Light Collimation

Build your handheld blaster and goggles for a unique game of laser tag. Blasters send pulses of infrared light and with special focusing lenses. Refine your sharpshooting skills or leverage its polarizing filters to black-out your opponent’s vision as you play in multiplayer mode.

Balance Bot

STEM Principle: Accelerometer

Box 6

Accelerometer

Balance Bot is a two-wheel robot which uses an accelerometer to keep itself upright and balanced. You can add arms, change the colors in the head, or even hack the antenna from the IR Turret to make it remote-controlled.

Frequently Asked Questions

SEE ALL FAQS

Do I have to already know how to code?

Nope! Hack Pack robots will work right out of the box. Here’s the inside scoop...if you can put together a lego set, you can definitely build these robots and we provide all the materials required.

But get this: Hack Pack can be completely leveled up by hacking the main computer controller, unlocking plenty of challenges and fun for anyone, from those new to coding to master hackers.

For what age is the Hack Pack designed?

CrunchLabs Hack Pack robots are designed for teens 14+ and adults. We test every product with third-party testing agencies to ensure the products comply with US and EU safety standards for teens ages 14-years and older. Parents and guardians can gauge the appropriateness for their kids, but we have worked hard to ensure that they’re a blast for the intended age range.

What's the Hack Pack Platinum Diploma Sweepstakes?

We're so excited to introduce you to the Platinum Diploma Sweepstakes*! Each Hack Pack subscriber is entered into a twice-a-year drawing for the chance to win $80,000 to put towards college and a trip to CrunchLabs to hang out with Mark Rober.

*No Purchase Necessary. Ends 5/31/25. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

How long does it take to build Hack Pack?

It depends! We try to make each build 60 to 90 minutes on average for a 14+ year old. But if your teen has homework to do, or there’s a pesky, curious sibling, or they just need to clear their head by running around in circles, they can always come back later to finish.

Can siblings or friends share a Hack Pack subscription?

Our Hack Pack boxes are designed for one user, so we recommend a subscription for each human. Besides, how are you supposed to defend your candy stash without a password protected IR Turret?!

I need help building Hack Pack! Can you help me troubleshoot?

Yes! You've got some symptom-to-solution solves :

Check out our troubleshooting guides for each toy.
Ask Mark RoBot for help in the IDE.
Join our Discord community and start a conversation.

If all else fails, please contact customer service at help@crunchlabs.com.

Do you ship Hack Pack internationally?

Hack Pack ships to the United States, Canada and the EU only for now. Stay tuned for more countries!
