The HEXBUG Nano has to be seen to be believed. These tiny, collectible, robotic creatures scurry and explore, unpredictably wending their way across floors, tables, through mazes, and most amazingly, within their customizable habitats (see separate review of Habitat Set). HEXBUG Nanos use the physics of vibration to propel themselves forward in a surprisingly lifelike way. Trapped in an enclosed space, they hunt for an exit. Create even a small opening, and they will find it and escape. Place them on their backs, and they will flip back onto their feet. About an inch and a half in length, HEXBUG Nanos come in various colors and degrees of rareness, and each one comes with a unique serial code number and point value system that users register online at handandstars.com to play games, earn points, and learn about real scientists and their discoveries.
