HEXBUG Spider: Orange Opinions -
Hexbug is a micro-creature toy robot inspired by BEAM technology. Hexbug has a few simple behaviors. Once switched on, Hexbug will move forward with a classic alternating tripod gait. If an obstruction touches either of the antennae, or if it detects a loud sound it will back up to the left and then continue forward. The name Hexbug, however, has more to do with the shape of the packaging it is sold in than the number of legs it has.
The spider series, which has six legs and can rotate 360? and advance in that direction. The spider is remote-controlled like the Inchworm is.

Terrific Toy for Kids or Grown-Ups . The kid in me couldn't resist buying the orange Hexbug Spider, and I'm glad I picked one up. It would be a practical purchase for kids 8 years and up, although I already purchased a few for adults.What makes this particular Hexbug different from the others is that it's the only one with a remote control [Edit: just discovered the Inchworm is the only other one with a remote]. The other Hexbugs, such as the crabs, simply move automatically. The remote control has two buttons that allow you to rotate the spider's head 360 degrees, and make the spider walk in whichever direction it's facing. An LED light at the top of the spider's head lights up whenever you rotate it.The spider itself and the remote come with an A/B switch. This allows you to set the spider to an "A" frequency, and the remote to an "A" frequency. By doing this, you can operate a second spider in the same room by setting it to the "B" setting (otherwise you have two spiders reacting to one remote). I have to stay within a few feet of the spider, otherwise it won't pick up the signal from the remote.It walks best on flat, hard surfaces, although I have been able to navigate the spider on carpet that isn't too deep. The "legs" aren't particularly strong, though, so don't expect the spider to be able to scale small objects easily.I love the Hexbug Spider because it makes a great conversation piece, and I have plenty of fun playing with it on my desk. It would make a great holiday gift for kids, or the young at heart.
