New HEXBUG Vex Robotics Pick & Drop Machine - great Christmas present!

New in box Build the Pick & Drop from over 400 VEX Robotics pieces! Experience the art of engineering through the mesmerizing kinetic motion of the new VEX Robotics Pick & Drop Ball Machine by HEXBUG. Spin the crank to transfer energy through the arm linkages, activating 3 sophisticated grabber hands that reach down and grab a ball. Keep spinning the crank to hoist the ball to the top of the machine where the grabber arms will automatically release and drop the balls onto the return ramp. This construction kit challenges you to not only Build Genius, but does so while constructing a roller coaster style ball machine at the same time. Once built, watch as the gears turn, the axles twist and the balls roll as you turn the knob by hand or attach a motor kit to add power to this machine! HEXBUG believes in using the fun of robotic toys to teach kids important STEM principles through hands on learning.The VEX Robotics Pick & Drop feature two alternate builds for more robotic fun! All Pick & Drop construction pieces are compatible with educational VEX IQ pieces to create your own custom VEX robot and explore unlimited possibilities. Collect and connect all of the VEX Robotics Ball Machines, or give your VEX Robotics Ball Machine a powerful boost with the VEX Robotics Motor Kit (sold separately). VEX Robotics Pick & Drop is compliant with CPSIA standards. Ages 8+
