Mark Rober Life

Mark Braxton Rober (born 1980) is an American YouTuber, engineer, and entrepreneur.

He is best known for his YouTube videos on popular science, do-it-yourself electronics, and innovative concepts.

Several of his videos have gone viral, including a digital Halloween costume and a trap for parcel robbers that reveal a fountain of ultra-fine glitter.

Rober was an engineer at NASA, where he spent seven years on the Curiosity rover at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory before moving to YouTube.

Early life

Rober was born in Orange County, California. At a young age, he became interested in engineering, designing two goggles that helped avoid tears while cutting onions. Rober earned a mechanical engineering degree from Brigham Young University as well as a master's degree from the University of Southern California.

Personal life

Rober and his wife and son moved to Sunnyvale, California, in 2015, where they now live. Since his son lives with autism, Rober is an advocate for autism awareness. Mark Rober and Jimmy Kimmel revealed in April 2021 that they would be hosting a live stream in support of NEXT for AUTISM. Due to the event's sponsorship of Autism Speaks and applied behavior analysis, the event was met with skepticism.

Mark Rober Career

Career

In 2004, Rober joined the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at NASA. He worked there for nine years, seven of whom were spent on the Curiosity rover, which is now on Mars. He designed and delivered hardware on many JPL missions, including AMT, GRAIL, SMAP, and Mars Science Laboratory. Rober, a NASA astronaut, was one of the primary architects for "JPL Wired," a comprehensive knowledge capture wiki. He published a case study describing the use of wiki technologies in a high-tech company to create a "Intrapedia" for the capture of corporate knowledge.

Rober began making viral videos during his time at NASA. His videos cover a variety of topics, sparking designs for April Fools' Day pranks and teaching about techniques such as beating an escape room and filming primates in zoos noninvasively. He advocates for science, making videos demonstrating the ability of sharks to smell blood in water, fluidized sand, and water purification.

Rober made his first YouTube video in October 2011. It's a Halloween costume that uses two iPads to create the appearance of seeing through his body. His video of the "gaping hole in torso" costume went viral, receiving 1.5 million views in a single day. Rober founded Digital Dudz, an online Halloween costume business that specializes in Halloween costumes based on the same idea as the video (to which Rober holds the patent). In the first three weeks of business, the company made $250,000 in sales, but by 2013, his app-integrated costumes were already in grocery stores such as Party City. The costumes were widely distributed on news programs such as CBS News, CNN, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox, Yahoo! News, Discovery Channel, The Today Show, and GMA are among the topics on the news. In 2013, Morphsuits, a UK-based costume company, sold the company to Morphsuits.

Rober released a video in December 2018 describing how Rober tricked parcel robbers with an engineered contraption that sprayed glitter on the victims, exuded a foul odor, and caught a video of the robbery. The video went viral, with 25 million views in a single day. After finding that two of the robbers were really close to a person he employed to help catch the parcel thieves, Rober deleted two of the five incidents on tape. In December 2019, Rober co-ordinated Macaulay Culkin and resulting in a new look. A year later, Rober would bring out a new iteration of the bomb, this time in a third edition. Rober worked with Jim Browning, ScammerPayback, and a number of state and federal authorities in India to track down and arrest money mules and their agents, who were working with scamming call centers to rob elderly people of thousands of dollars. Several of the probes are now underway. This was in coordination with a multi-Youtuber campaign to get back to and shut down scam calls while still raising the possibility that others were not scammed in the future.

Rober has written articles about Men's Health and gave a Tedx presentation in 2015 on How to Come Up With Good Ideas and another one titled The Super Mario Effect – Tricking Your Brain into Learning More. He has also appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Rober had been secretly working on Apple Inc.'s on-board entertainment for self-driving cars, for which Rober wrote two virtual reality-related patents in 2018. Rober worked as a product designer in Apple's Special Projects Group from 2015 to early 2020. Rober will appear alongside Jimmy Kimmel in a Discovery Channel hidden-camera show in 2020.

Following a tweet that suggested that MrBeast should plant 20 million trees, the YouTube community launched #TeamTrees, a campaign led by MrBeast and Rober in October 2019. MrBeast and Rober collaborated with YouTubers around the world in the hopes of making this come true. The aim of this campaign was to raise $20 million for the Arbor Day Foundation by 2020, and in exchange, the Arbor Day Foundation would plant one tree for every dollar raised. iJustine, the Slow Mo Guys, Marques Brownlee, PewDiePie, AsapScience, Smarter Every Day, Life Noggin, minutephysics/minuteearth, It's Okay to Be Smart, and HowToBasic are among the notable YouTubers involved in the project. With the help of The Ocean Cleanup, Mr. Len and MrBeast launched #TeamSeas, which aims to raise $30,000,000 for cleaning up beaches and seas.

Rober's online-class platform Monthly launched a 30-day Creative Engineering class in 2020.

Rober revealed in August 2020 that he tested positive for COVID-19 during a video filming sharks in the Bahamas, delaying the filming of his film.

Rober guest appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 14, 2022. The ABC television network has a series on the ABC.

After the bait car was broken into 25 times in eight months, a live glitter bomber goes to war with San Francisco smash-and-grab robbers

www.dailymail.co.uk, December 11, 2023
Mark Rober, a savvy former NASA engineer, planted glitter bombs and fart sprays in cars around San Francisco's streets as a lure for criminals trying to steal from cars. Rober attempted to take a prank on the criminals who break into over 20,000 cars in San Francisco each year, but also track where they took the stolen items from them. Many of his stolen, fake items ended up in a homeless encampment that doubles as a fencing market in the Dem-led city, where people know they can go to exchange common items for quick cash. Rober told his 28.7 million YouTube followers that it didn't take long before the robbers started looting, and that his phony bags were looted 25 times during his probe.
