VEX Robotics 406-4206 Hexcalator Ball Machine by HEXBUG

The VEX® Robotics Hexcalator teaches important scientific principals such as kinematics, linkages and reciprocal motion. This sophisticated machine was inspired by cutting-edge medical devices and uses a hand-crank to power 3 hexagonal indexing wheels to transport balls uphill where they are released onto the return ramp. Once constructed, this machine will move the balls in a continuous loop at a rate of approximately 1 ball per second (8 balls included).

HEXBUG® is dedicated to inspiring future generations of robotics engineers through the excitement of hands-on learning with fun STEM-based construction kits, like the VEX® Robotics Hexcalator Ball Machine.
