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!

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!

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.

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 share a Hack Pack subscription?

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

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

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

If your robot doesn't turn on, check out this handy dandy flow chart.
If an electrical component isn't working, this chart might help.
If your robot won't connect to your computer, follow these steps.

You can also ask the Mark RoBot in the coding console for tips too!

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

Great Son and Father Entertainment!
My 7-year old son saw the video and really wanted to get the turret gun to build a custom project. Unfortunately, he fell and had a laceration on his forehead, needing to get a suture. I could motivate him with the turret gun to stay still when getting stitches - it worked well! We built the turret gun and it was his idea to combine it with a remote controlled tracked vehicle. I've helped him a bit, also to found him a counterweight as he recognized it was imbalanced. He also wanted to combine the remote controls. It's still a bit too early or coding for him, but looking forward to that already!

Excelent products
It’s a truly excellent product. It’s one of the best of its kind. For a reasonable price you can get six incredible robots that are super fun to code and play with. My younger brother absolutely loved them. The custom interface excellent. I highly recommended it. The replacement of all broken parts is really terrific. A servo motor broke early on and I was able to get a replacement it within a week. The videos are quite instructive and I’ve learned quite a bit about the hardware used in these robots.
That said, here are problems/some things I wish that they could integrate. You can’t easily download new libraries so many of the hardware hacks you can buy online are not usable. The Arduino is only able to be coded in C++ meaning that if you have a background in Java or python is a whole lot harder. The Arduino can only handle so many inputs. I mean that it can only handle about 12 different cables been connected to it so you might be able to get two or three hardware hacks at most. The course does not actually teach you how to code C++. I would have loved to learn C++ through these robots, however unfortunately, they just provide you with the robot so you either know how to code or you don’t. I think that this would’ve been an excellent robot to incorporate into a series of videos teaching C++. Some insulation is necessary in order to use the coding terminal. Although they have partially fix this issue by creating their own downloadable extension, it still is annoying to have…

Perfect for Coding Newbie
Never thought I would code but thanks to Mark Rober I'm making tiny hacks to my turret. Super fun! Excited to see what's next.
