We got a box of five from a good firend. My 6 year old took three of them to school for his "show and tell" and got the same reaction as the Baker girls.

My 2 year old disassmbled the yellow one so it now only has four legs.

Play with the leg shape (they are pliable) and you can make the bug go in all kinds of directions, not just straight ahead. You can even make them go backwards when they are supposed to go forward.

And Paul is already teaching his kids to take things apart and figure out how they work. He's going for them getting their engineering degrees before high school ;)

Teach 'em young, and they will go far.

So you are telling me that if I buy a "Hex Bug Robot Assortment" from the Radio Shack website, I should receive a 5 Hex Bugs?

ha ha. she'll probably join a team in the 3000's, because by then, they will definitely exist.

I'm going to go out today and buy one from the three local stores, I hope it will increase my chances.

So what is your team going to do with the hexbug shot if you get it first??

We have two teams in the area that are desperately in need of funding, and we figured if we find it we will get it for them or get them to get a shot with it...

I think its an awesome competition, and has generated some great buzz around the product, but we realized there are teams much more in need of that $6k...

If I were to find the golden Hex Bug, which will never happen because the area Radio Shack's don't sell them, I would use it to fund more area Vex teams...

What happens if a non-FIRSTer gets the Gold HEXBUG?

Then... well... it's not good, because no one would get the reward.
