HEXBUG VEX Robotics Snap Shot - STEM Construction Kit - Ball Launcher - DIY Blaster Project

My 11 year old was not able to assemble this by himself, but when we finally got it together it was very cool. Shoots the balls pretty hard. Fun (and cheaper) alternative to L**os without sacrificing quality. Our family has done 3 of them now. Big fun.

7 year old daughter loved it she did have a little help putting in the small pegs and with the directions but the package does say 14+ so this was expected. She and her older brother love playing with this and the catipult one he has, best gift ever they both said. Both kids have asked for more for their next birthdays and Christmases.

It's an awesome toy but, confusing instructions

Awesome project for homeschooling.

Got this as a gift, it does not have all the pieces! Disappointed!!

This is a great build. My 7 year old and I built it together and it took quite awhile. It is a fun project to work on and spend time together. The balls shoot really far and for added fun, our cat loves to chase them!

I picked this up at a department store as a quick gift for a 14 year old boy who loves robotics. He built it and loves it.It might be too challenging for younger kids, it takes physical strength (finger strength).

The balls will break in half if fired at targets (even the box itself) from too close a range. Can't seem to find a replacement set online. The clips / pegs holding the Vex robotics panel also tend to fall out when the gun is fired. They are small and very hard to recover. Toy will work without that panel, but just waiting to step on one of those some night.
