50+ HexBug Nanos Battle Through FOUR Bridge Battle Arenas in The 'Viking Battles'

Published on Nov 7, 2014

Watch as circa 50+ HexBug Nano V1s have to battle through FOUR HexBug Nano Bridge Battle Arenas to earn a chance to win. Honour is paramount as we enter 'The Viking Battles'!

Select your champion and watch to the end to see if you choose well. Victory is hard as losers have to go back and fight again and again until they demonstrate they deserve the title of 'Champion'.

The next Mega HexBug Maze Set-up planned will include 10 'Y' splitters to see if HexBug Nanos can defy the odds and find the solution to a very simple looking but complex maze...

HexBug Nano Robotic Bugs in Probability Experiment - What are the Odds ?

Published on Nov 16, 2014

I am really interested in the behaviour of these HexBug Nanos. In this challenge I want to see if any Nano bug can get to the end far right winning cell. To do that they must go through 10 different 'Y' junctions.
I am not able to express the actual probability and maths that express this and I really hope that people who know how to do that are interested by this little experiment and post a detailed comment.

I plan to get more 'Y' junctions as I continue to challenge these Robotic Bugs in maze challenges..

50+ HexBug Nano in 'The Monster Battles' to find a true Champion Gladiator

Published on Dec 27, 2014

Watch as circa 50+ HexBug Nano V1s Battle through FOUR HexBug Nano Bridge Battle Arenas to earn a chance to win. The Gladiators Honour is paramount as we enter 'The Monster Battles'!

Select your Gladiator Champion and watch to the end to see if you choose well. Victory is hard as losers have to go back and fight again and again until they demonstrate they deserve the title of 'Gladiator'.

This is an improved version of a maze layout that I previously made earlier in the year. With a few changes I managed to get far better flows through the four battling arenas.

HexBug Nano Nitro Slingshot Habitat Set - Detailed Play Test Review

Published on Aug 28, 2016

New for 2016 - HexBug Nano NITRO -
With enhanced speed, better self-righting and added ferocity I put the new Nano Nitros through their paces and Play Test the SlingShot Habitat set.

The HexBug Nano Nitro is a battery powered robotic bug that drives forwards and jostles randomly and can skitter their way along and through tracks and any maze. The Nano Nitro is an excellent climber and this multi-level set has them going through twisting tunnels and bends.
These 50 pieces can be built and re-built in endless combinations to suit your style of play. Create challenges, races or just watch these fascinating robotic pets in their new playground habitat.

HexBug Nano NITROs v's Nano V2s in race challenge

Published on Sep 10, 2016

In this video I created a challenge race track for both HexBug Nano Nitros and V2's. The result is not what I expected!

As you will see if you watch to the very end I had tested both tracks.
I have since deduced that the first Nitro bug had slightly longer spines and it got stuck in the orange Spiral piece. That Nitro blocked all others from passing until eventually there were enough behind it to push it clear.
The V2's found climbing the final tall central section the hardest and these then got stuck until other V2s and Nitros came to push.

I will be making many other challenge videos with these new Nitros but it just goes to show that the older V2s are still great climbers!

I made this track using older track as well as all the new HexBug Nano Nitro Habitat Track sets.
