Two people fix a sliding CrunchLabs box from a Mark Rober tripwire experiment by cutting holes for the wire arms, threading them through, tightening the nuts, and adding weight like books to keep it steady. Adult supervision required for cutting.

I really like this new Mark Rober thing, because when you pull it, it like shoots.
Is your CrunchLabs box sliding on the floor? You try and shoot it? Oh man, what a bummer. Instead, measure a little bit on the box, cut a couple holes— be sure to have a parent help you with that part— put the arms through the box and tighten the nuts, and then put some weight in the box, like maybe a couple of books. Close it up and try it again. This time it won't move.
Mark Rober was right. Think like an engineer to be like an engineer. Ow!
