Don't mess with my people.

I saw this video on Twitter and YouTube recently of a guy who modified his phone case with propellers. Having a background in engineering it was pretty clear to me that it wasn't real but it seemed like most people believed it. This was especially irksome give that he was selling the items in the desc using affiliate links. So I did a deep dive on every last possible clue proving it was fake.

ALSO, see how I make all my builds: markroberbuildinstructions.com/

I started a company called CrunchLabs where we build a toy together and then I teach you all the jucy physics for how it works. So if you want to learn to think like an engineer and have really fun time doing it, check out the current promotion where you get 2 FREE boxes at crunchlabs.com

You should also go subscribe to the CrunchLabs YouTube channel cause we’ve got some bangers in the pipeline- youtube.com/crunchlabs

I love how Mark uplifts the weaker younger more inexperienced engineers, and never takes advantage or scams anyone.

I feel like the reason we all love this guy is because he never clickbaits, and he never brags about how smart he is

The fact that Mark dropped a shovel on his head to explain science to us is outstanding.

Lesson of the video: Don’t mess with Mark’s people.
