1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:05,279
so these little guys are called hex bugs and for the longest time I wasn't really

2
00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:11,480
sure what you're supposed to do with them but apparently what you're supposed

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:13,920
to do is buy or build a habitat most

4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:18,320
people use Lego so that's what I did and just let them Scurry around and you just

5
00:00:15,639 --> 00:00:23,599
watch them and to me that's kind of boring but these are more for kids so I

6
00:00:21,119 --> 00:00:27,960
assume that they're entertaining for children um so I was thinking what can

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:32,160
we do and we're going to race them and we're going to place some bets there's

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:36,800
my RAC trck I have gathered you all here today for some Hexbug Nano racing I

9
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:42,280
don't know what else to do with thems black market stuff are we like is this

10
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:47,200
legal yeah is this legal all right are you all ready are you going to place

11
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,200
your bets place your bets I've

12
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:55,320
got this I've got a GTX Titan black on

13
00:00:51,559 --> 00:00:57,559
the purple bug purple bug go all in on

14
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,000
the Transformer Vig uh I'm going play this Transformer bug if I could get it

15
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:06,560
out of the bag if I win I'm taking that home okay there all right now yeah slip

16
00:01:04,839 --> 00:01:12,040
them upside down turn them on okay and then someone's got to release them all at the same time I'll be in charge of

17
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:17,520
that okay yeah sure there's no cheating here okay hang on here we go let me

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,119
Focus hold on hold on hold on okay ready

19
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:22,759
yeah go go oh yeah sure did you cheat I

20
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:25,799
clearly released them both at the same time oh no come on

21
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,119
go it's a photo finish yeah I think

22
00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:34,640
we're going to have to we're going to have to go again I'm doubling down on

23
00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:38,360
purple bug here you have

24
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:45,119
more okay he has another two Titan blacks wow Brandon can you release them

25
00:01:44,079 --> 00:01:51,640
because you're not a dirty rotten cheater no lus I saw a simple misunder I

26
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:58,280
saw you cheat in the in real life Mario Kart racing

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,320
two simple simple look I got them right

28
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:06,000
here at the same time okay okay ready all right just get a closeup of the race

29
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,000
so we can see that I clearly didn't

30
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:13,000
cheat

31
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,319
oh so I'll take the uh I'll take the

32
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:23,640
gold and silver ones and you can have the ones that are all gold right wait I

33
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:29,080
should get half one of those no because I bet on a purple bug I can't lose my

34
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:32,200
bet you get your measly crappy bet back

35
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:35,519
okay so here we go it's uh what round

36
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:38,040
two now I feel what is this is this like

37
00:02:35,519 --> 00:02:40,879
a battle AR that's a habitat so when you could call it a battle arena they'll go

38
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:46,760
for a race and then when they're not they'll have a habitat oh look yeah and

39
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:52,599
it's Predator is also in the habitat and they're running away his

40
00:02:48,959 --> 00:02:55,480
Predators stupid what the hell is this

41
00:02:52,599 --> 00:03:03,360
sometimes they flip themselves over he's not oh oh he's fighting back

42
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,360
oh that's the Predator one

43
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:10,239
yeah W they actually you manag to get up there really I know they go over there

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:15,239
every time it's like they have minds of their own I want purple to go on the

45
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,239
diving board

46
00:03:15,640 --> 00:03:21,040
yay purple go on the diving board yay oh

47
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:24,799
wow purple made it off the diving board okay what do you think Brandon

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:30,360
tiebreaker sure okay we each have to bet on a different bug this time and Brandon

49
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,519
releases Brandon releases Brandon releas

50
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,879
actually no Nick if you're not participating you release I'm going with

51
00:03:33,799 --> 00:03:41,599
Transformer bug this time do everything you can to make lus not cheet how many

52
00:03:38,799 --> 00:03:41,599
of these do you

53
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:50,879
have so if we're thinking dollar equivalent if I lose

54
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:53,879
this I owe

55
00:03:54,319 --> 00:03:59,280

70
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:13,840
$4,000 sad sad days okay so conclusion

71
00:05:11,919 --> 00:05:19,479
time what do we think yeah they're okay they're kind of cute um as a robot guy I

72
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:24,720
don't find them particularly interesting for kids I suppose but I'm not young

73
00:05:22,039 --> 00:05:29,280
anymore so I'm not impressed with these uh they only do one thing you know these

74
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:34,319
guys just vibrate and only in one only in one way they don't go backwards They

75
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:37,199
Don't Really Turn Around sometimes they

76
00:05:34,319 --> 00:05:41,039
get stuck like this guy over here um even the Scarab even the Scarab is

77
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:45,360
pretty cool he uh only only does one thing he's only got one gear train down

78
00:05:43,319 --> 00:05:48,280
here and the only reason he changes direction is because his legs bounce

79
00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:51,960
against things and he can pick himself up only because the shape of the legs is

80
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:56,199
asymmetrical with a spike on this side and no Spike on that side there's no

81
00:05:53,880 --> 00:06:01,080
logic there's no sensors it does one thing and one thing only they do have um

82
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,560
remote control rollable hex bugs I haven't checked any of those out but you

83
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,759
know if you've got a kid who's interested in robotics don't get him hex

84
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:16,479
bugs get them something like Technic or Tech Trix or meano or even connect has

85
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:19,319
robotic Parts these guys uh this is if

86
00:06:16,479 --> 00:06:24,440
you're vaguely interested in the idea but uh super fun I wouldn't say so but

87
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:28,919
fun for kids sure why not leave a comment uh subscribe do all that stuff

88
00:06:26,599 --> 00:06:32,919
we'll see you next time they are fun to watch

89
00:06:30,599 --> 00:06:37,440
fun to watch them just explore the world and get stuck in Corners oh he's going

90
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:42,520
up the ramp he's going up the ramp he's going up the

91
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:45,520
ramp a nice

92
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,520
try
