VEX Robotics Robotic Arm: Unboxing, Review, & Time Lapse Build Video

Disclosure: The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Vex Robotics

Have you ever wondered how industrial robots work? You know, the kind of robots that work on assembly lines building other complex pieces of machinery? Now you can unlock the mystery behind these sophisticated robots by building one of your own! Exclusively from HEXBUG comes the VEX Robotics Robotic Arm – a completely functional construction kit inspired by real industrial robot arms. We recently got one and we love it! My young girls are totally in awe of all it can do – and my husband had a blast building it (check out our time lapse build video below).

This unique Robotic Arm is hand powered and can pick up and relocate items using four degrees of freedom and an articulated grabber hand. The whole crane can rotate 360 degrees, allowing this miniature robot to perform the complex actions of its real life counterpart. Kids and robotics enthusiasts alike will have fun building this STEM-based kit that pays special attention to important scientific principals including gear reductions and power transfer through the robotic arm’s intricate gearing techniques. HEXBUG hopes to inspire future generations of engineers and designers by allowing them to explore this exciting field through the fun of hands-on creative play.

My husband is an engineer and nuclear mechanic and so he is a HUGE STEM advocate. After taking along hard look at this product, he absolutely loves it. He thinks it is a great way for young kids to get involved in (and excited about) STEM. Our oldest daughter (who just turned 5) had a lot of fun helping to get the pieces all set out to build this robotic arm. We plan on using the kit, and a motor from Vex Robotics, to test out some modifications and she cannot wait to help – be sure to subscribe to my YouTube Channel so that you don’t miss them!

After carefully unboxing everything and really looking at this product, we, as a family, are huge fans. My girls love that they can pick up their toys, candy, and pretty much anything with this arm and move it around. My 5 year old has actually started to master the controls after just a few short days of using it. My 3 year old still needs help, but she loves it just as much. We have set aside time every day for them to try moving things around with it. It is great for hand eye coordination – and is getting them excited about technology and science! My husband had a lot of fun building it and is looking forward to checking out the alternate builds that Vex Robotics suggests.

We definitely recommend this product. After building it, we would say it is good for ages 5 and up with help from adults when needed – and ages 8 and up could probably build it all on their own. The directions are pretty easy to read and the photos really help with the build. It is a great kit from Vex Robotics. There are many other kits from this company you can purchase – we cannot wait to try mixing and matching and see what we come up with. Isn’t that what STEM is all about?

Odd Squad: The O Games on DVD Today

Odd Squad The O Games

My girls love Odd Squad. My husband even enjoys watching it with them! It is one of the few “real people” shows that they will watch all the way through. We love just about every show on PBS Kids and Odd Squad is in the top 5 for sure. We are really excited about the newest DVD, The O Games, which just hit stores everywhere TODAY, June 28, 2016!

Synopsis
In the story “The O Games,” select Odd Squad agents square off in several crazy math challenges – from the blob toss to the 25 centigurp dash – for a chance to be Ms. O for a day and run Odd Squad! Agent Otto is chosen to compete, but so is the villainous Odd Todd, Agent Olive’s former partner! Will Odd Todd strategically eliminate each of his competitors so he can win the competition and shut down Odd Squad forever? Purchase here.

Also featured on the new DVD is the story “Bad Luck Bears.” When a basketball behaves oddly at practice, the Bears’ coach seeks the help of the Odd Squad to set things straight. During a meeting at headquarters, Otto discovers that bad things happen to the Bears whenever the number 13 is involved. As the Odd Squad works to eliminate any 13s on the players, the Bears learn how different number combinations add up to 13.

“THE O GAMES” includes the following stories:

“The O Games” (extended adventure)
Odd Squad agents compete in several games to determine who gets to be Ms. O for the day.

“Bad Luck Bears”
When odd things start happening to the Bears basketball team, Olive and Otto must get to the bottom of the mystery – before the big game.

“Whatever Happened to Agent Oz?”
Olive tells Otto the story of what happened to Octavia’s partner, Agent Oz.

“Not So Splash”
In the middle of summer, Olive and Otto must figure out why parts of the town are turning snowy and cold.

“Skip Day”
When Olive catches a case of The Skips and goes missing, rookie agent Otto must solve his first case by himself.

When the 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced earlier this year, ODD SQUAD won four awards, including: “Outstanding Writing in a Children’s or Pre-School Children’s Series,” “Outstanding Directing in a Children’s or Pre-School Children’s Series,” “Outstanding Costume Design/Styling,” and “Outstanding Hairstyling.” ODD SQUAD is a live-action series aimed at helping kids ages 5-8 learn important math skills. The show focuses on two young agents, Olive and Otto, who are part of Odd Squad, an agency whose mission is to save the day whenever something unusual happens. ODD SQUAD is created by Tim McKeon and Adam Peltzman and produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment and The Fred Rogers Company. ODD SQUAD airs daily on PBS KIDS (check local listings).

Throw Your Own Finding Dory Party: Recipes & Coloring Pages

Finding Dory Recipes & Party Kit

It is no surprise that Finding Dory is already a summer hit. It has been the number one movie for two weekends in a row now. I was finally able to take my whole family this weekend (last weekend we were away at Hershey Park – you can read more on that here soon) and we all loved it. If you have not gone yet, be sure to stay all the way through the credits, well worth the few minute wait! I am a huge Finding Nemo fan and Finding Dory is just as good, if not better. Why? There are a few throw backs to the original movie, there is baby Dory, and it will tug at your heart strings. Yes, I cried – more than once. We all love the new characters like Hank (and really want a pet octopus now) as well as Bailey and Destiny. It is an incredible movie and if you have not seen it yet – GO!

All of that being said, my girls already LOVE Finding Dory. They have asked to go see it again and my oldest wanted to change her birthday party theme (which was the day after we saw it) to Finding Dory. If you have a child like mine that just needs a Finding Dory themed party this summer, I have some great recipes and a pool party kit (which includes invitations, party signs, & games!) for you! Don’t forget to grab my free Finding Dory coloring pages and activity sheets here too.

About The BFG

The BFG (Mark Rylance), while a giant himself, is a Big Friendly Giant and nothing like the other inhabitants of Giant Country. Standing 24-feet tall with enormous ears and a keen sense of smell, he is endearingly dim-witted and keeps to himself for the most part. Giants like Bloodbottler (Bill Hader) and Fleshlumpeater (Jemaine Clement) on the other hand, are twice as big and at least twice as scary and have been known to eat humans, while the BFG prefers Snozzcumber and Frobscottle.

Upon her arrival in Giant Country, Sophie, a precocious 10-year-old girl from London, is initially frightened of the mysterious giant who has brought her to his cave, but soon comes to realize that the BFG is actually quite gentle and charming, and, having never met a giant before, has many questions. The BFG brings Sophie to Dream Country where he collects dreams and sends them to children, teaching her all about the magic and mystery of dreams.

Having both been on their own in the world up until now, their affection for one another quickly grows. But Sophie’s presence in Giant Country has attracted the unwanted attention of the other giants, who have become increasingly more bothersome. Says Spielberg, “It’s a story about friendship, it’s a story about loyalty and protecting your friends and it’s a story that shows that even a little girl can help a big giant solve his biggest problems.”

Sophie and the BFG soon depart for London to see the Queen (Penelope Wilton) and warn her of the precarious giant situation, but they must first convince the Queen and her maid, Mary (Rebecca Hall), that giants do indeed exist. Together, they come up with a plan to get rid of the giants once and for all.
