Awesome Mark Rober

Most DoorDash and GrubHub deliveries are made using gas-guzzling cars sitting in traffic. Zipline hopes to change that with drones that hover 400 feet up, then lower a small delivery unit to quietly and safely drop off small packages. Mark Rober explains the tech and how Zipline has been saving lives with their existing drones.

After embarrassing numerous porch pirates, engineer Mark Rober is back with the final and most ambitious iteration of his electromechanical glitter bomb. Version 5.0 is packed with autonomous glitter drones and even more fart spray to ruin any criminal’s day. He also built a stripped-down version for car break-ins.

To celebrate the launch of CrunchLabs, engineer Mark Rober endeavored to set up the world’s longest Hot Wheels track. At over a half-mile long, the track takes advantage of the warehouse space and has stacked switchbacks with Hot Wheels Boosters to keep the cars moving. We’d love to see the FPV footage of the full ride.

For his latest experiment, rocket scientist and entertainer Mark Rober teamed up with Joe Barnard of BPS Space to launch an egg into space to see if they could catch it safely a mattress when it dropped back to earth. But the project proved far more challenging than they thought and required huge amounts of trial and error.

Mark Rober and his backyard buddies are back. Not only are the obstacles more difficult than ever, but now it’s a squirrel vs. squirrel, Olympic-style competition. Who will take home the nutty grand prize? Will it be Phat Gus, Augustine, Rick, or Marty? Hit play and find out.

Mark Rober likes to use his engineering skills to help the little guy get a fair shake. After showing us how to improve our chances at carnival games, he built a series of portable devices that help him cheat and score the most at skill-based arcade games, and also shows us which ones are complete scams.

You know those pin art toys that take an impression of your hand or face? I Like to Make Stuff built a super-sized version of the plaything for their Maker Alliance pal Mark Rober to put in his new offices. He used large sheets of PVC, insulation foam, and 1000 PEX tubes to create the structure and its pins.

Engineer and all-around good guy Mark Rober stopped by First We Feast’s studio to take on the spiciest of wings. After chugging down a dose of Pepto Bismol, he talks about his new Discovery show Revengineers, his experiences working at NASA, his best builds, and how to always win a coin toss.

Engineer Mark Rober is known for pulling off some of the biggest experiments, pranks, and fun things on the internet. Now, he’s built an awesome maker’s space, lab, and play place with hidden entrances, a giant foam pit, and a bathroom that alerts everyone if you don’t wash your hands. It’s also the HQ for Crunch Labs.

Mark Rober needs to add “Citizen Hero” to his resume. After taking down porch pirates, he got revenge on four notorious scam call centers by disrupting them with stink bombs, glitter bombs, cockroach bombs, and more. It all came together with the help of CCTV hacker Jim Browning and Trilogy Media on the ground.

Engineer Mark Rober takes a look at a very special piano that can transform speech into music. Known as Chopstix, the Edelweiss player piano was modified so it can play all of its keys simultaneously. It feeds on a steady diet of MIDI files which it can play at incredibly fast speeds. It can even perform Rush E.

After Jimmy Kimmel told Mark Rober about his dream of having the most powerful t-shirt cannon in the world, the Mark wanted to oblige his friend. He had a little extra help from wunderkind Anthony Hartman to design and engineer the big gun. Sadly, the stadium’s lawyers put the kibosh on firing the most powerful version.

Engineer Mark Rober is back with the 4th-generation version of his karma-delivering glitter bomb package. For 2021, the package for porch pirates is filled with new surprises, including a self-launching box lid, a car horn, and 20% more fart spray.

The sheer amount of trash floating in our oceans and waterways is staggering. To help TeamSeas reach its goal of removing 30 million pounds of trash by January 1, 2022, Mark Rober challenged Mr. Beast to see if an army of humans or trash-gobbling robot boat could remove more trash in the same amount of time.

Engineer Mark Rober keeps his promise for bigger and more spectacular experiments by building the tallest ever stream of elephant toothpaste, a foamy mess created by mixing hydrogen peroxide, soap, and potassium iodide. The trick to sending the stream sky-high was bolting the giant steel flask to a concrete pad.

Setting up dominoes can be time-consuming and requires a steady hand. We’ve seen robots that can stand one domino at a time. Mark Rober and his engineering pals presents DOM – a custom-built robot that can set up 300 dominoes at a time. The robot arm and Hot Wheels track loading system is equally awesome.

A while back, engineer Mark Rober built an obstacle course to try and keep squirrels from getting to his birdseed. Ultimately, the smart squirrels figured it out, so he decided to up his game with a far more complicated maze that’s even trickier to navigate. Will the squirrels get their claws on Mark’s nuts again?

After two two prior efforts to get back at package thieves, engineer Mark Rober kicks things up another notch. His latest Glitter Bomb is the most diabolical “gift” yet, adding the nasty glue from mouse traps, 4x the fart spray, eau de skunk, a police light effect, and a mechanism that makes it harder to shut off.

After an earlier experiment with trying to get sharks to swarm into human blood, Engineer Mark Rober teamed up with Discovery’s Shark Week to build a single-person shark cage, and headed into the waters of the Bahamas to see if he could get a feeding frenzy going around him using fish blood instead.

We’ve all heard the advice to wash our hands, avoid touching our faces, and clean our smartphones if we want to avoid catching and spreading coronavirus or other bugs. Mark Rober uses some UV-reactive powder to demonstrate why that’s so important, and shows just how much stuff we touch and leave our germs on.

Mark Rober typically uses his engineering skills to solve complex problems or to exact justice, but this time, he’s just having a good time making a mess. He teamed up with the guys from How Ridiculous to see what would happen when you drop a car onto the world’s strongest trampoline. Check out the aussies’ video here.

After building an ingenious device to befuddle porch package thieves, Mark Rober is back with a new and improved version. Like the original, it shoots video of the thief, fires off glitter and fart bombs, but with a little help from his friend Sean Hodgins and Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin, this version is better in every way.

Smart guys Mark Rober and James Bruton show us how to game the system with engineering know-how. They recently collaborated on a special bowling ball that can consistently bowl strikes by simply leaning in the direction you want it to go after you release it down the alley.
