My favorite feature of Toy Of The Year Award Winner For 2016 HEXBUG’s kit is that is was easily built, but provided for a few hours of educational fun. Additional challenges included in this kit were to figure out how to build the mechanical scorpion and chopper.

That was on the first evening after I received the Samsung Gear VR Innovator Edition kit from AT&T. They loaned it to me for a few days so that I could see what everyone was talking about. Continue reading Be In The Center Of The Action With Samsung's Gear VR Headset Powered by Oculus
