HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set by Innovation First is the winner of the ASTRA Best Toys for Kids 20101 award in the Just for Fun category.
The HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set is a modern toy that combines robots for kids and creative connections of platforms and tracks.
With the HEXBUG Nano Habitat Set, children set up hexagonal stations interconnected with routes for realistic robotic bugs to complete aleatory random circuits, doors open and close for added excitement.
This science toy resembles a contraption toy or a marble run, except in this case micro-robotic creatures acting like real bugs do all the motion and displacement using the physics of vibration to propel themselves along the way, just like Bristlebots, but much more stable!
The habitat toy construction set includes three hex cells, four curves and three straight tracks.
This intriguing robotic toy is also a creative toy, the nano homes are reconfigurable and encourage inventiveness. Custom made DIY habitats have no limits with additional cells and tracks sold separately. Check out hexbug habitat accessories.
