Hexbug Micro Robotic Creatures
Hexbugs by Innovation First
Hexbugs are tiny toy robots that come in different shapes, sizes and colors. Styles include the Hexbug Nano, Original, Inchworm, Crab, and Ant. Each one has it's own behaviors and methods of getting around.
Hexbugs make unique, fun gifts for kids as well as adults. I know my husband is hoping for a Crab this Christmas, and my daughter has Nanos on her Christmas list.
HEXBUG Nano
Hexbug Nanos are little battery powered robots that behave like bugs. They crawl around and can flip themselves over. These 12 legged creatures are just over 1 1/2" long and about 1/2" wide. Each Nano comes in their own specimen tube.
My daughter got one for her 9th birthday in July 2010. I had never seen them before. I was a bit freaked out watching it scurry around, but my daughter just loved it.
All of the Nanos are the same size and shape, but they come in many different colors and have different patterns on their backs. Kids love to collect them and have their bugs race their friend's.

Original HEXBUG
The Original Hexbug walks forward until it hits an obstacle or hears a loud noise. Then it backs up in a half circle, and moves forward in a different direction.
This Hexbug is a little over 2 1/2" long and currently comes in five different colors and roach like shapes. They are named after the NATO Phonetic Alphabet.

HEXBUG Crab
The Hexbug Crab reacts to touch, light, and sound. It feels its way around and avoids obstacles by backing up and continuing in a different direction. It will also hide in dark areas until a loud sound or exposure to light chases it out into the open.
The 2 3/4" crab comes in a variety of colors.
