Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a teacher and in the summer I run a Science Camp for 5th and 6th graders. A couple of years ago, we bought some Hexbugs for the Camp so the kids could play around with them and make observations about how they work. One of the things they loved to do was to race the bugs. With this set, they are provided with a nice, customizable track to race on. Now on to the specifics:
*Here are the pieces you get with this set:
8 Straight Tracks
6 Curved Tracks
2 Y-Shaped Tracks
2 Circle-Path Tracks
2 White Hexpods
2 Checkered Flags
2 Stop/Go Signs
2 Hexbug Nanos
1 Sticker Sheet and
2 Magnetic Starter Tracks
*Based on prices of other Hexbug Nano sets, this seems like a good deal for all you get. The magnetic starter tracks are very cool. What you do is have your Hexbug turned on and have it enter the magnetic track. I magnet buried in the track will hold the bug in place until you push the black "Starter" button on the top of the track. When this is pushed, it releases the bugs for a race to the finish. It is a cool design because it allows both bugs to be released at the same time.
*The kit comes with a recommended way to set it up but it can be easily customized. Especially if you have extra pieces from previous kits. Having said that, it can be customized without having any other pieces.
*The kit said it came with two "special" Hexbugs that were designed specifically for use on this track. I thought that might have something to do with the magnets. I am going to test a couple of my regular Hexbugs on it later and see what, if any, differences there are.
*I have three sons I test all my Science Camp stuff out with and they absolutely love the set. They keep changing the track slightly to see what, if anything, will happen.
All in all, it is worth the money. I bought mine for $49.99 at my local Target.
