Bring the beauty of kinetic motion to life with new VEX® Robotics Fork Lift Ball Machine by HEXBUG®! Using a unique over-center linkage, this sophisticated machine is capable of executing both a scooping and lifting motion with its specialized forklift arm. Powered by a hand crank, this machine will move balls in a continuous loop at a rate of 1 ball per second (8 balls included). HEXBUG® is dedicated to inspiring future generations of robotics engineers through the excitement of hands-on learning with fun STEM-based construction kits, like the VEX® Robotics Fork Lift Ball Machine. This machine teaches important scientific lessons in kinematics, linkages, reciprocal motion, timing and its effects on an overall system. Collect and connect all of the VEX® Robotics Ball Machines, or give your VEX® Robotics Ball Machine a powerful boost with the VEX® Robotics Motor Kit (soldseparately).
