Details of the remodeled robo-bugs Hexbug Alpha and Hexbug Bravo:
Hexbug feels its way around sensing objects in its path and avoiding them. You can control where it scurries through a hand clap, loud noise or table slap. The robotic bug will travel forward until it hits an obstacle or hears a loud noise. It will then backup in a half circle and then move forward in a different direction.
– Crawling bug
– Bump sensor feelers help it avoid obstacles
– Change its direction by clapping or making noise
– Fits in your hand
