The video features Cash, a young boy born with spina bifida, who is determined and resilient despite the challenges he faces. Mark Rober, a former NASA engineer, is inspired by Cash's attitude and decides to build him a custom wheelchair. Mark disguises himself as "Roger" and visits Cash's home to gather information about the ideal wheelchair features. Cash's requests include a cup holder, disco ball, train horn, and Nerf guns. Mark and his team create a high-tech, gyroscopically stabilized wheelchair with all the requested features, including a stair-climbing mechanism. When the wheelchair is revealed to Cash, he is overjoyed and quickly masters its various modes, including party, navigation, and battle modes. Mark also surprises Cash with tickets to a Warriors game, where he gets to see his favorite player, Stephen Curry. Throughout the video, Mark emphasizes the importance of resilience and thinking like an engineer, and promotes his company, CrunchLabs, which aims to teach kids how to think critically and build creative solutions.
