HEXBUG - VEX Robotics Catapult Construction Kit - Black

We bought three of these when they were half price. Two of them were missing pieces. Normally that would be enough to give such a low score but despite that and the difficulty of assembling the catapults for my 9 and 12 year old, they had a ton of fun.

The Robotic Catapult Construction Kit allow the grandkids not only to build something, when done, they could use it in a very fun way. Good toy!

Great for a gift. It sure is entertaining for a kid - simply loved it .Made with strong materials and very versatile for young minds.The kid I gave it to needed a little help him put it together, but both his dad and him enjoyed putting it together as much as playing with the end product.

This was purchased for a 9 year old boy. Instructions were clear with great pictures. I helped with assembly but he did most of it himself. Functions well shooting a ping pong ball about 6 foot across the room. Duriability is the only reason for a one star deduction this is a toy that you cannot play with rough and is best used under adult supervision.

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my grandson and he loves it. This Bot requires assembly and the ability to understand directions to be able to properly put it together. All in all it was a good choice to challenge his mind and use his imagination.

Purchased for my 13 year old son. He had a great time putting it together but we had even more fun playing games with the catapult and bouncing the ping pong balls across the room. Works great and is a fantastic learning tool for young kids. We love Hex Bug.

My boys thoroughly enjoy everything Hex Bug. The newest Hex's are getting quite expensive so this habitat that can be used with the original Hex's is a great way for them to continue to expand habitats and enjoy the hex bugs they already have.

Excellent product, I think the concept is great. It took a while to build so I'd recommend it for kids who are very detail oriented and want to take time to experiment, though the actual catapult that is the main thing that can be constructed he plays with all the time.
