Review: Good - Vary good Review: Great Toy - My 4 year old son has not put this down since we assembled it 2 days ago. The balls do not shoot very fast but are fairly accurate. Assembly process was simple but the pieces were too difficult for him to snap together on his own. Recommended for ages 8 and up so that was not a surprise. ## Features - Shoots Balls Over 20 Feet! - 11 Balls Included - 140+ snap together pieces - STEM based construction - Promotes basic engineering skills ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B073HLY6P1 | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Are Batteries Required | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #251,559 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,209 in Educational Science Kits #3,085 in Kids' Electronics | | Brand Name | HEXBUG | | Color | Orange, Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 216 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Calculus and spatial perception | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 9.06 x 2.56 x 10.04 inches | | Manufacturer | Innovation First Trading SARL | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 96 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 406-5517 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Maximum Range | 20 Feet | | Model Number | 406-5517 | | Number of Items | 11 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Occasion | Birthday | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Power Source | battery powered | | Set Name | SwitchGrip | | Size | Medium | | Special Features | STEM based construction | | Style | Modern | | Target Audience | Unisex Kid | | Theme | video games | | Toy Gun Type | Blaster Toy Gun | | UPC | 807648055177 | | Unit Count | 151.0 Count | ## Images ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics SwitchGrip Ball Shooter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71n2kcCkVdL.jpg) ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics SwitchGrip Ball Shooter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MaKzjUl3L.jpg) ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics SwitchGrip Ball Shooter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WMUWBYtPL.jpg) ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics SwitchGrip Ball Shooter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WTrpnrizL.jpg) ![HEXBUG VEX Robotics SwitchGrip Ball Shooter - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71D6HS4NP7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What if the balls do not shoot out? They wont pass through the orange piece. It feels like it is going to snap.** A: Our experience was similar to yours. It turned out that we had placed two parts in at the wrong orientation. We had to reassemble parts of it two or three times before we got it right. **Q: Does anyone sell replacement balls? My children have lost them all.** A: I don't have any, but here is the company information. They deal in replacement parts. VEX.com +1 903-453-0804 help@vex.com 6725 W.
