Was thinking the same thing. The new ones should have a GPS option so you can track your cat after he eats it.]]>Feb 15th 2010 11:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCZY9Z6WvSY

We sold more hexbug/ants than anything else in the store, good stocking stuffers and little gifts.

I bought one for my cat, but the bug just runs in to him, the goes the other way and back and forth, my cat doesn't seem impressed.]]>Feb 15th 2010 11:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/Feb 16th 2010 12:55AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/
I was in Toys'RUs back in December shopping for Christmas presents for my daughter when I saw some of those HexBugs in a bin. When I pulled it out, I saw that it was basically a bristlebot (I'd seen the YouTube video too) and was a little disappointed.

Paying $8 for one... kinda lame.]]>Feb 16th 2010 11:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/Feb 16th 2010 5:53PM
