VEX Robotics Forklift Ball Machine by HEXBUG

Build the Forklift from over 270 VEX Robotics pieces.

Using a unique over-center linkage, this sophisticated machine is capable of executing both a scooping and lifting motion with its specialized forklift arm. Powered by a hand crank, this machine will move balls in a continuous loop at a rate of 1 ball per second.

This construction kit challenges you to not only Build Genius, but dos 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 Forklift feature two alternate builds for more robotic fun. All Forklift's 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 Forklift is compliant with CPSIA standards. Ages 8 plus
