so these little guys are called hex bugs and for the longest time I wasn't really
0:03
sure what you're supposed to do with them but apparently what you're supposed
0:08
to do is buy or build a habitat most
0:11
people use Lego so that's what I did and just let them Scurry around and you just
0:15
watch them and to me that's kind of boring but these are more for kids so I
0:21
assume that they're entertaining for children um so I was thinking what can
0:25
we do and we're going to race them and we're going to place some bets there's
0:29
my RAC trck I have gathered you all here today for some Hexbug Nano racing I
0:35
don't know what else to do with thems black market stuff are we like is this
0:40
legal yeah is this legal all right are you all ready are you going to place
0:43
your bets place your bets I've
0:47
got this I've got a GTX Titan black on
0:51
the purple bug purple bug go all in on
0:55
the Transformer Vig uh I'm going play this Transformer bug if I could get it
1:00
out of the bag if I win I'm taking that home okay there all right now yeah slip
1:04
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
1:09
that okay yeah sure there's no cheating here okay hang on here we go let me
1:14
Focus hold on hold on hold on okay ready
1:17
yeah go go oh yeah sure did you cheat I
1:21
clearly released them both at the same time oh no come on
1:26
go it's a photo finish yeah I think
1:29
we're going to have to we're going to have to go again I'm doubling down on
1:32
purple bug here you have
1:38
more okay he has another two Titan blacks wow Brandon can you release them
1:44
because you're not a dirty rotten cheater no lus I saw a simple misunder I
1:49
saw you cheat in the in real life Mario Kart racing
1:54
two simple simple look I got them right
1:58
here at the same time okay okay ready all right just get a closeup of the race
2:02
so we can see that I clearly didn't
2:07
cheat
2:13
oh so I'll take the uh I'll take the
2:16
gold and silver ones and you can have the ones that are all gold right wait I
2:21
should get half one of those no because I bet on a purple bug I can't lose my
2:25
bet you get your measly crappy bet back
2:29
okay so here we go it's uh what round
2:32
two now I feel what is this is this like
2:35
a battle AR that's a habitat so when you could call it a battle arena they'll go
2:39
for a race and then when they're not they'll have a habitat oh look yeah and
2:44
it's Predator is also in the habitat and they're running away his
2:48
Predators stupid what the hell is this
2:52
sometimes they flip themselves over he's not oh oh he's fighting back
2:58
oh that's the Predator one
3:04
yeah W they actually you manag to get up there really I know they go over there
3:08
every time it's like they have minds of their own I want purple to go on the
3:11
diving board
3:15
yay purple go on the diving board yay oh
3:18
wow purple made it off the diving board okay what do you think Brandon
3:22
tiebreaker sure okay we each have to bet on a different bug this time and Brandon
3:27
releases Brandon releases Brandon releas
3:30

3:33
Transformer bug this time do everything you can to make lus not cheet how many

yeah yeah taking my Titans I'm going home
5:02
I'm I'm I'm never going to be paid again ever cuz now I'm out
5:08
$4,000 sad sad days okay so conclusion
5:11
time what do we think yeah they're okay they're kind of cute um as a robot guy I
5:17
don't find them particularly interesting for kids I suppose but I'm not young
5:22
anymore so I'm not impressed with these uh they only do one thing you know these
5:27
guys just vibrate and only in one only in one way they don't go backwards They
5:31
Don't Really Turn Around sometimes they
5:34
get stuck like this guy over here um even the Scarab even the Scarab is
5:39
pretty cool he uh only only does one thing he's only got one gear train down
5:43
here and the only reason he changes direction is because his legs bounce
5:46
against things and he can pick himself up only because the shape of the legs is
5:50
asymmetrical with a spike on this side and no Spike on that side there's no
5:53
logic there's no sensors it does one thing and one thing only they do have um
5:58
remote control rollable hex bugs I haven't checked any of those out but you
6:03
know if you've got a kid who's interested in robotics don't get him hex
6:07
bugs get them something like Technic or Tech Trix or meano or even connect has
6:13
robotic Parts these guys uh this is if
6:16
you're vaguely interested in the idea but uh super fun I wouldn't say so but
6:21
fun for kids sure why not leave a comment uh subscribe do all that stuff
6:26
we'll see you next time they are fun to watch
6:30
fun to watch them just explore the world and get stuck in Corners oh he's going
6:34
up the ramp he's going up the ramp he's going up the
6:38
ramp a nice
6:42
