HEXBUG’s nano robots move using vibration rather than wheels, scurrying and bouncing off the flexible jelly walls included in this set. The appeal for kids is mostly the unpredictability: each bug moves differently and randomly switches direction, so watching them isn’t as scripted as a wind-up toy.
This set includes the newest, fastest nano (the “Flash”), two standard nanos, and enough jelly wall pieces to build a small enclosed playground, plus two merry-go-round obstacles for extra chaos. Works well as a first introduction to basic robotics concepts for kids around 6 and up, without any actual programming involved.
Expand the collection with the Flash Nano 5-pack if your child wants a bigger swarm, or browse more of our STEM toys.
