Instructions


These are the directions for the bridge battle set.

TWO!? ONLY TWO!?!?!?

I only have 2 Nanos because I bought the bridge battle set, but I am hoping that I will get more this weekend.

Hands and Stars

This was copied from the Hands and Stars website.

"What Is The Hand & Stars

We are a society dedicated to human progress by advancing scientific knowledge and technology.

We do not seek notoriety because over many years’ time, we’ve found that our work is best conducted quietly and discreetly.

Through the ages, some of the greatest names of science— Archimedes, DaVinci, Newton, Franklin, Edison—are alleged to have belonged.

Those are rumors we shall neither confirm nor deny in this forum.

Suffice to say that the society’s treasury of knowledge is reserved for members only.

For the interested, we will share the meaning of our symbology:
The fingers of the hand represent individuals and their works. The hand itself joined the fingers together and demonstrated that efforts are more powerful than singular works. It also represented knowledge “handed down” from one generation to the next.

Classically, the number five represented vitality, enjoyment, creativity, invention, and possibility—keys to scientific inquiry. The stars were seen as gifts of scientific knowledge—dazzling, illuminating, always within sight, challenging humankind to reach out to them."

Mash Up

Hexbug made a video mash up of multiple news-casts on the Nanos.

Another video

In this video someone lets a bunch of Nanos loose.
This is the set that I have, and it was on sale for $14.95, but it usually costs $50.00.

Here is another video, I will post more soon.

Hexbug Nano Hot-spot

Hello everyone! I'm AJ, and I am here to talk about Hexbug Nanos. Hexbug Nanos are small robotic creatures that you can collect, trade, name and register on-line. You can buy them at local Wal-Marts, Targets, Radio-Shacks, and many other stores. I have a few myself, and I am very pleased. The batteries last relatively long. They move because they have a pager moter(the things in video game controllers to make them vibrate) in them. Their legs are bent because the pager moter is off centerd, so when it is on it leans foreword and thus moves.
And just so you Know the Nanos in this vidio are not mine.
