HEXBUG Nano Starter Set

What's a HEXBUG Nano, and what does it do? An even smaller 'micro robotic creature' than its big brother the original HEXBUG, it scuttles around like an actual bug, and it's practically unstoppable -- not only does it move in another direction when it meets an obstacle, but it also flips itself over when it takes a tumble!

This small wonder gives your HEXBUG enthusiast something entirely new to cheer for as he simply snaps together the starter habitat, then watches his little robot scurry around bug-style. The Nano changes direction when it encounters the habitat's walls, continuing to hurry about until it finds an open 'door,' then starts all over again. The secret to the Nano's movement: the legs don't mechanically move; instead, the motion is caused by vibration which is in turn produced by a very rapid up/down motion of an internal counterweight, the rotation of which also helps the robot flip itself right-side-up.

The HEXBUG Nano Starter Set includes:

• 1 hexagonal cell
• 2 curved pieces
• 1 Extremely Rare 'Mutation' Nano in its own storage tube

HEXBUG Nano requires one AG13 battery (included). Pieces interconnect with our HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set and all other HEXBUG Nano sets.

This set gives your child a taste of what these little robotic 'pets' are all about, and he's sure to want to build on the fun by expanding the habitat as his menagerie grows.

Ages 3 and up.
