Theres a few different hexbugs available now
The standard bug: http://www.electronicpets.org/hexbug-original~p124.html
The ant: http://www.electronicpets.org/hexbug-ant~p125.html

and a few others. They have limited interactivity, but for the price are a good bit of fun!

I think they look cute, and I think I read somewhere that the crab one has a light sensor and likes lurking in dark corners?

http://www.hexbug.com/

I found the main site!

I'm rather fond of the Nanos, I've seen them in action and they're quite interesting (a classmate of mine has one).

I have two bugs now, a blue bug and an green ant. They are fun on the lino and go pretty fast.

ohnart · « **Reply #30 on:** July 27, 2010, 08:31:48 AM »

They look cool! Sure gonna get one!

ohnart · « **Reply #31 on:** July 27, 2010, 12:53:04 PM »

Just bought one

Can't wait until it will arrive!

I don't get the original one, I'm getting one of these so called HEXBUG nano's! It's actually only about 9.99$ for one! I just found them a little more interesting..........

My goodness, Comaro! How extensive is your collection of robots? Mine is rather mmmmm small. I only have seven. Six Furbys and one Pleo RB plus a soon-to-be-mine Ugobe Pleo.

Wow! I didn't know they made a robot of Norbert. Sorry if I butcher the spelling. What does he do if I can ask?

Comarorobotcollector · « **Reply #36 on:** April 04, 2011, 03:00:30 PM »

He has 2 petting sensors and besides that he is autonomous.there is also a book of monsters you can only get that one at the wizarding world of harry potter. here's one of norbert.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11WDWT3k2yg.heres one of the book of monsters .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QHXs70IioA&feature=related

Talon · « **Reply #37 on:** April 04, 2011, 04:41:30 PM »

Wow! Norbert looks fun! Thanks for posting those links. I'm getting my robot pet education today. I briefly thought about purchasing a Techno Pony. I can't remember its proper name but it's along the same lines as the Techno dog that was out a few years ago. He was only twenty four dollars but I felt kind of childish even considering him. He will probably be the closest I'll ever come to having a horse. Oh well. I congratulate you on your collection!

Comero, I just have one thing to say, you scare me a little

. I'm getting a hexbug soon, hopefully a spider (just to be clear, that is the only spider real or fake that you will ever see within 50 feet of me,) or worm, but I think the worms are slower. Does anyone know what the difference between a nano and a, say, an ant, is? I know they all do different things, but I don't get the nano thing. My freind has the ant, it's pretty cool, we used it to send messages back and fourth at the state science fair.

Also do they sell the Norberts at Islands of adventure as well? I don't think I saw it, but I did see the book.

The book of monsters is totally cool!

Just like the one in the movies.

Crewella · « **Reply #40 on:** April 04, 2011, 08:10:56 PM »

I loved that book too!

Norbert looked interesting, too - what's his skin made from? That is some collecton you have there CRC!

Heading to Harry Potter at Universal in Florida in June. Spending two nights there before going to Disney. My daughter loves Barney the dreaded purple Dino and he is there as well. Book of monsters is on my list of souvenirs!

Comarorobotcollector · « **Reply #42 on:** April 07, 2011, 05:20:20 PM »

You can only get the book of monster's at universial its $35.00.and you can only find norbert on ebay his skin is soft and the designs come off easy so be warned it also freezes up if it is low on batteries and can break its neck easy.The ant hex bug has sensors on the back and front to know if it hits a wall it will go the other way and it can go on carpet and is really fast and crazy.Oh and i am still working on my collection i do trade some of my stuff for somethings i like better so i don't always have every thing on my list it always changes so if you are looking for something and its on my list and you have something i want i will trade.

Except my dinosaurs

LuckyPleo · « **Reply #43 on:** April 07, 2011, 06:51:05 PM »

Cool! Hope you have fun Saratoga, be prepared to have a LONG wait at hp world, I went with my freinds the other weekend and it was a 120 min wait! As for disney, just a tip, don't wait over an hour for any of the big rides, if your staying at one of their hotels go at the extra magic hours or if not, get a fastpass early in the day, also if you want a sit-down dinner at one of the resturants, go to disney.com and make reservations because some of them you must book 6 months before!

(sorry, just had to say something, i go to disney almost every weekend for like just a few hours)

I wouldn't appologize for passing on useful information. Anyway I think I made a mistake in the spelling of the Tekno Pony. I got really bored today and looked up videos on Youtube about robotic horses. There are a tun of them out there and a few of them are ridable! Too bad I'll never see one of these things! Okay badly off topic. Um, I can't remember who posted this but how did you use the... was it the robotic ant to pass messages back and forth?

LuckyPleo · « **Reply #46 on:** April 08, 2011, 05:37:02 AM »

Oh I posted that Talon, we didn't really use it the way it was supposed to, we weaged a rolled up peice of paper behind the back end sensor and let it go because my other freind's booth was at the end of the row next to our booth so we just pointed it that way.

Thay are pretty cool. I want one too. They might make a good prank! Imagine having 10 of these things crawling around!

That's exactly what I said! (sometimes I'm a bit evil..

)

Talon · « **Reply #47 on:** April 08, 2011, 07:13:50 AM »

Still that's pretty neat- a messanger ant. I was a very wierd girl. I was never afraid of bugs or mice or snakes or anything like that. I would just pluck them up and examine them. When I was finished I'd just let them go again. That was all fine and dandy until a big wasp got into the top of my soda can at a picknick when I was nine or ten or so. I know. Wasps sting. In my defense I thought I had his front end. I tried to pull him out to free him but what did he do? Well, needless to say I am now in fear of flying bugs. I can still handle the crawling kind but not the ones who can launch themselves at me and get away before I have a chance to fight back. Whap! Oh but to get on topic. Again. Anyone fascinated at all in the Dragonfly and Bat by the people who made Robosapian? I watched a few videos on them and they looked neat. They're elegantly simple little things.

Yes - I like the dragonfly. I have an i-Bird from Silverlit which has a similarly 'natural' flight. They do an i-Fairy, too that's just about the girliest robotic gizmo I've ever seen!

Talon · « **Reply #49 on:** April 08, 2011, 08:30:01 AM »

Oh yeah I forgot about those! I found them when I was trying desperately to lure myself away from buying a pleo. Of course I gave up trying. There are four of them if I remember right, or maybe it was three? Once upon a time I could tell you their names. Man I'm so old! Growing up I had a Sky-Dancer. It's this really skinny doll about five and a half inches tall with wings made into her arms. When they were fully extended they looked something like a two-bladed propeller. Her clothes were painted on so there was no drag and her little ponytail was curled so that it sort of guided her whirling flight. You stood her in this little launcher thing, held her up in the air and away from you and gave the string inside the launcher a good tug. She would go spinning up and away from you and land somewhere across the room. I think they also made a male figure for boys but I can't remember what they were called.
