Wheels aren’t just for rolling! The Hexcalator uses a hand crank to power three hexagonal wheels to lift balls uphill. If you crank hard enough, you can lift one ball per second! Enjoy it on its own, or use it as the first step in your own ball-rolling contraption.
Send us an introductory paragraph to a story where you are performing a stunt, and you could win a Hexcalator from
www.kidstuff.com.au.
Hexcalator kit by VEX roboticsRed and white logo reads 'Kidstuff for a brighter child. Est 1969.'
