Hexbug Spider XL
© 2012 Innovation First, Inc.
The Hexbug Spider XL is a mechanical six-legged crawling spider-like robot with a remote control that features 360 degree steering, an LED eye, and two-channel, user selectable radio-controlled remote control. The two-channel remote control has three forward moving speeds (slow, medium and fast) and one speed when in reverse, enabling you to operate multiple bugs independently or at the same time and at varying speeds. This is the largest member of the Hexbug family, standing 7 inches tall. It is also the most sophisticated -- the legs move in coordination to provide forward or turning motion. Three AA batteries are required in each HEXBUG Spider XL and one 9V battery is required in each remote. It is available in translucent red or blue.
