VEX Robotics Hexcalator

Build your ball escalator with this Science, Mathematics Engineering and Technology or S.T.E.M. kit and learn about assembling mechanical and electrical parts to make a device that can fully operate. This machine has 3 hexagonal wheels that lift the balls up and onto the track, while a return system guides the balls down and onto the lowest rotating wheels and starts the cycle all over again. Just turn the handle to set the machine in motion. This S.T.E.M build kit comes with over 260 pieces of components and 8 plastic balls. There is a motor that is sold separately to convert this set into a motorised version. The components can also be built into 2 alternative builds that is a gyrocopter and a dragonfly. This is an intermediate skill level build that should take up to 5 hours to build, depending on your skill level. Suitable for ages 8 and above.
