Special Time Building the HexBug Robotic Arm #TechToys AD

There’s one thing my husband and the boys do together that is their special time. Build things. It can be furniture to building blocks to other things. I love watching them build together. We received the HexBug Robotic Arm and I knew they would enjoy this build together. The hubs has been in and out a lot so this was special time building the Hexbug Robotic Arm together, you are going to be really impressed with this toy.

This guy loves to build so I knew the Hexbug Robotic Arm would be challenging and very interesting. We love watching shows on television that build different things and we always see robotic arms play a part in the building processes. Aramis was very excited to receive the box and couldn’t wait to pull everything out. We were all impressed with the pieces it was going to take to build.

Pretty impressive right?

Unfortunately there were a few steps that took a little longer so they have been taking their time with this build. I’m going to say it’s not for the faint of heart. LOL They are due to finish it this weekend and I’m so excited for them. I imagine I’ll have an “extra hand” around the house. haha

The important thing about these activities is that they are doing something special together. I’ll update the post when they finish up the arm this weekend but for the mean time here’s the image of what it will look like when they are done.

VEX Robotics Arm_0

From Best Buy:

This unique Robotic Arm is hand powered and can pick up and relocate items using four degrees of freedom and an articulated grabber hand. The whole crane can rotate 360 degrees, allowing this miniature robot to perform the complex actions of its real life counterpart. Kids and robotics enthusiasts alike will have fun building this STEM-based kit that pays
special attention to important scientific principals including gear reductions and power transfer through the robotic arm’s intricate gearing techniques.HEXBUG® hopes to inspire future generations of engineers and designers by allowing them to explore this exciting field through the fun of hands-on creative play.
The VEX Robotics Robotic Arm (PN 406-4202; MSRP $49.99) is complaint with CPSIA standards. Batteries not required.
Ages: 8 years and up.
This item, I don’t even want to call it a toy is pretty awesome and it’s completely worth it to get your child to understand how important it is to follow directions. I can’t wait to find another challenging build for my boys!

Question:

What would you use the Hexbug Robotic Arm for? Something fun I’m sure! 

Cheers!
