Hexbug Nano the micro-robotic bug now in a glow-in-the-dark style. Designed to look and behave like real bugs, Hexbugs are actually very cool little robots designed to react to touch and sound. When you set them in motion, they travel forward on their tiny rubber-tipped feet. When they hit an obstacle or hear a loud noise, they back up in a half circle and move forward in a different direction. Hexbug Nano can be registered and tracked online, too! Real fun with real science. Hexbugs are designed with two touch-sensitive antennae that sense obstacles and direct them to reverse and change direction on their six articulated legs. They re even sound-sensitive! Clap your hand, slap the table or make some other loud noise and your Hexbug will stop and change direction. Use noise to control where it scurries! Each Hexbug Nano fits in your palm and uses 1 AG13 button cell battery (included). Collect Hexbug Nanos, now swarming and glowing at Brookstone order yours today! Warning: Choking hazard small parts.

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. The crab series, which hides under dark spaces and has light and sound sensors, and therefore is able to respond to audio or light stimuli.
