Review: I am a Middle School STEM Teacher. I bought this product as a fun activity for students to do if they finished other classwork early. It took about 3 hours for my 12-year-old student to complete building. They had minimal trouble with building the model; however, there are some parts in the instructions that ask for something to be built twice and some parts that do not need to be built twice. My student got a little confused and ended up building something accidentally twice as it wasn't clear to him that he only needed one for that part. Mechanically, the model works well and is quite fun to turn the crank to. I have several of VEX's ball machines on a table and this one always has the most students gathered around it trying it out. Pros: + Instructions are in English (not translated from Chinese) + Visual, detailed instructions + Easy to fix mistakes + Model works as intended Cons: + Lots of small pieces Review: Great product. My 11 year old daughter loved the challenge of building it and it worked great. ## Features - 3 sophisticated grabber hands - STEM based construction kit - Features two alternate builds - Batteries not required - 8 balls included ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TV0RZ3K | | Assembly Required | Yes | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #268,890 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #458 in Toy Robots | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (377) | | Date First Available | 25 August 2015 | | Educational Objective(s) | Literacy & Spacial Awareness | | Item model number | 406-4204 | | Manufacturer recommended age | 8 - 15 years | | Material Type(s) | Plastic | | Number of Puzzle Pieces | 400 | | Product Dimensions | 6.6 x 33.02 x 26.16 cm; 1.16 kg | | Remote Control Included? | No | | tech_spec_battery_description_toys | No Battery Required | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Kid - **Brand:** HEXBUG - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 6.6 x 33 x 26.2 centimeters - **Material:** Plastic - **Size:** S ## Images ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics Pick and Drop Machine - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HotBxxgbL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the ray gun shoots** A: I is not meant to do so. **Q: Where are the directions for the alternate builds?** A: Hi there, the alternate build instructions are on our website. **Q: Do you need the motor that is sold separately for this to work?** A: It does not need a motor, but if you want to not have to crank, then, yes, you have to purchase a motor separately **Q: does the ray gun shoot?** A: Hi there!

My 11 year old daughter loved the challenge of building it and it worked great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***R on 11 May 2025* Incomplete assembly instructions, and a missing part made this build much more difficult than expected. Update. 8 yr old assembled with wrong part choice. Watching a video of a working build enabled the build error. Missing piece was in wrong place, so nothing missing. A few minor rubber band adjustments and it worked great! ## Frequently Bought Together - HEXBUG VEX Robotics Pick and Drop Machine - VEX Robotics Screw Lift Ball Machine by HEXBUG - Hexbug 406-5517 Jungen Spielzeug --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/256397480-hexbug-vex-robotics-pick-and-drop-machine](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/256397480-hexbug-vex-robotics-pick-and-drop-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-05-05*
