so these little guys are called hex bugs and for the longest time I wasn't really
sure what you're supposed to do with them but apparently what you're supposed
to do is buy or build a habitat most
people use Lego so that's what I did and just let them Scurry around and you just
watch them and to me that's kind of boring but these are more for kids so I
assume that they're entertaining for children um so I was thinking what can
we do and we're going to race them and we're going to place some bets there's
my RAC trck I have gathered you all here today for some Hexbug Nano racing I
don't know what else to do with thems black market stuff are we like is this
legal yeah is this legal all right are you all ready are you going to place
your bets place your bets I've
got this I've got a GTX Titan black on
the purple bug purple bug go all in on
the Transformer Vig uh I'm going play this Transformer bug if I could get it
out of the bag if I win I'm taking that home okay there all right now yeah slip
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
that okay yeah sure there's no cheating here okay hang on here we go let me
Focus hold on hold on hold on okay ready
yeah go go oh yeah sure did you cheat I
clearly released them both at the same time oh no come on
go it's a photo finish yeah I think
we're going to have to we're going to have to go again I'm doubling down on
purple bug here you have
more okay he has another two Titan blacks wow Brandon can you release them
because you're not a dirty rotten cheater no lus I saw a simple misunder I
saw you cheat in the in real life Mario Kart racing
two simple simple look I got them right
here at the same time okay okay ready all right just get a closeup of the race
so we can see that I clearly didn't
cheat
oh so I'll take the uh I'll take the
gold and silver ones and you can have the ones that are all gold right wait I
should get half one of those no because I bet on a purple bug I can't lose my
bet you get your measly crappy bet back
okay so here we go it's uh what round
two now I feel what is this is this like
a battle AR that's a habitat so when you could call it a battle arena they'll go
for a race and then when they're not they'll have a habitat oh look yeah and
it's Predator is also in the habitat and they're running away his
Predators stupid what the hell is this
sometimes they flip themselves over he's not oh oh he's fighting back
oh that's the Predator one
yeah W they actually you manag to get up there really I know they go over there
every time it's like they have minds of their own I want purple to go on the
diving board
yay purple go on the diving board yay oh
wow purple made it off the diving board okay what do you think Brandon
tiebreaker sure okay we each have to bet on a different bug this time and Brandon
releases Brandon releases Brandon releas
actually no Nick if you're not participating you release I'm going with
Transformer bug this time do everything you can to make lus not cheet how many
of these do you
have so if we're thinking dollar equivalent if I lose
this I owe
Grand all right doubling down which one
are which one are you going for I got the trans for all right ready ready 3 2
1 go oh you son of
a can we have a fair
race oh no something's repeating the TR
oh no he moved over there oh
transform yeah Brandon works for free for an
indeterminate amount of time to eat this bug yeah do it
and seen okay okay let's have a fair race
this time Fair Race this time okay Brandon's hanging on the edge of his
seat here okay ready yeah I'm
going a fair release for a change it's
NE lus wins even when he doesn't cheat
yeah yeah taking my Titans I'm going home
I'm I'm I'm never going to be paid again ever cuz now I'm out
$4,000 sad sad days okay so conclusion
time what do we think yeah they're okay they're kind of cute um as a robot guy I
don't find them particularly interesting for kids I suppose but I'm not young
anymore so I'm not impressed with these uh they only do one thing you know these
guys just vibrate and only in one only in one way they don't go backwards They
Don't Really Turn Around sometimes they
get stuck like this guy over here um even the Scarab even the Scarab is
pretty cool he uh only only does one thing he's only got one gear train down
here and the only reason he changes direction is because his legs bounce
against things and he can pick himself up only because the shape of the legs is
asymmetrical with a spike on this side and no Spike on that side there's no
logic there's no sensors it does one thing and one thing only they do have um
remote control rollable hex bugs I haven't checked any of those out but you
know if you've got a kid who's interested in robotics don't get him hex
bugs get them something like Technic or Tech Trix or meano or even connect has
robotic Parts these guys uh this is if
you're vaguely interested in the idea but uh super fun I wouldn't say so but
fun for kids sure why not leave a comment uh subscribe do all that stuff
we'll see you next time they are fun to watch
fun to watch them just explore the world and get stuck in Corners oh he's going
up the ramp he's going up the ramp he's going up the
ramp a nice
try
