Review & Description

Hexbug is a micro-creature toy robot inspired by BEAM technology. Hexbug has a few simple behaviors. Once switched on, Hexbug will move forward with a classic alternating tripod gait. If an obstruction touches either of the antennae, or if it detects a loud sound it will back up to the left and then continue forward. The name Hexbug, however, has more to do with the shape of the packaging it is sold in than the number of legs it has.

HEXBUG fans will love this gift pack, which comes with 5 specimens of HEXBUG Nano. It is the perfect gift for any occasions, whether it is for birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.

The HEXBUG Nano series is made up of:
• BCC9H1N3-080H4801CS (Hive Habitat Gift Set)
• BCC9H15N-080H480Y207 (Elevation Habitat Gift Set)
