Hexbugs are fun little robots that actually include several features that one would expect in a full fledged robots. They can walk, turn and sense their surroundings. Quite amazing for something that sells for only $10 including batteries.

The Hexbug includes a microprocessor, two "feeler" sensors and a microphone that works as a sound sensor. An amazing feat of engineering occurs inside the mechanics of the Hexbug as it is able to handle all of its movement with only one tiny motor.

Unlike remote control toys, this inexpensive toy actually using feedback from the sensors to know when its hit and object with its feelers or will turn when it hears a loud noise such as a hand clap.

When you buy a bunch of them they are fun to watch them bump into each other. Toss in a ping pong ball and watch them push it around. This compete set has all five different colored and shaped bugs. The innards are the same but they look different - from the cute red ladybug one to the cockroach looking one.

Note: like real insects these robots should be handled with care and are suggested for ages 8 and up.

Once I had seen hexbugs for the first time, I was fascinated. But I'm a grown woman. So I decided to get them for my grandchildren, most of whom are toddler-aged. I figured that their parents could help them play with the hexbugs, and for the price ($15 for 5 of them), no one would have to worry about them getting broken. This is really an experiment. If they like these, we will get them more sophisticated hexbugs for future occasions.
