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

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

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!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

SEE ALL FAQS

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. We will teach you in our IDE (Integrated Development Environment).

CrunchLabs Hack Pack subscription is designed for teens 14+ (even adults will love it). We test every product with 3rd-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.

We've had the Build Box Platinum Ticket since our start, and now we're so excited to also introduce you to the Platinum Diploma sweepstakes*! Each Hack Pack subscriber is entered into a 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 4/30/26. 50 U.S. & D.C., 18+. See Official Rules.

It depends! We design each Hack Pack robot to take an average 30-60 minutes for an 14+ year old.

Every person is different and build times will vary!

Our Hack Pack boxes are (mostly) designed for one user, so we recommend a subscription for each person.

Besides, how are you supposed to defend your candy stash without a your personal password-protected IR Turret?!

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

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

Hack Pack only ships to the US, Canada and the EU (excluding Iceland) for now. Stay tuned for more countries!

    Really fun

    At the time of writing, im on box 003 - the label maker. Every box so far has been better in every way than the last. From the quality of parts, to the building experience, to the fun of using the finished build, i havent had any negative experiences.

    Pummled

    My son gives it a ding. Me, ditto. I gave it to him for his 10th birthday. Highlights of what he said while making it: "Ooh... he's obsessed with googly eyes... wee... this is the best present ever... wait, you got me a subscription... Mumma you're the best." The chatbot makes it easy and he was doing level 2 coding and pasting code at level 3 first try. I bought him a dongle so he can code with more comfort / have a longer wire. As for the Hack Pack brand - the silver dot design on the box is kind of cool, reminds me of Tron. The wood is thick, good quality. Biggest toy googly eye ever. My son got his interest when he was 6, after watching the videos. I'm handy, so didn't find it hard to help him, but engineering and coding wasn't a subject choice when I was young and watching some random person on YouTube with dodgy audio and a desk lamp or trying to google it is pretty onerous and frustrating. Add lack of time, procrastination, then having to re-read/re-watch... my son won't stand 5 seconds of those videos, so Hack Pack is pretty good for me. Serves it with apex of A video quality and teaching in a fun way [with googly eyes]. My son's also way cleverer than me, so this way, he (kind of) gets to hang out with a bunch of smarties. He loves being a Crunchlabber and I know when he's old he'll look back and smile, that makes me smile too.

    Amazing!!

    Mark has inspired our whole family to love STEM, but specifically my 11 year old. He loves to learn the “juicy physics” and build along with the videos. Hack Packs have been the perfect complement to our homeschool! He’s learning so much and having an absolute blast while doing it. The boxes are great quality and the customer service has always been top notch. Very thankful for this program to spread a love of learning to my family.
