About the original
HEXBUG Nano is a line of vibration-driven micro-robots produced by Innovation First International, which launched HEXBUG in Greenville, Texas in 2007 after a decade building components for the FIRST Robotics Competition. Each Nano is roughly 1.5 inches long, powered by a single LR44 button-cell battery, and walks on twelve angled polymer legs driven by an offset-weight vibration motor; the Flash variant adds an internal LED that pulses while the motor runs. The toy sold millions of units through 2010s mass retail and spawned maze and habitat playsets. The FW2021 Supreme version is a five-pack of standard Nano Flash units in Supreme-printed clamshell packaging, released October 7, 2021 at $32.
About HEXBUG

The original HEXBUG Nano debuted at RadioShack in 2007, a vibration-driven micro-robot with twelve flexible legs that moved by imitating the gait of an insect. The line expanded into the BattleBots scale-replica series, the Vex Robotics construction kits, and various motorized creature toys. Spin Master acquired HEXBUG from Innovation First in February 2023. Supreme collaborated with HEXBUG on a co-branded Nano micro-robot for Spring/Summer 2024.
