Second Official Challenge: Hexbug

The Second Official Challenge: HEXBUG

 Objective: Create a version of the Hexbug Original, Hexbug Ant, or Hexbug Crab. No parts from the store bought hexbugs can be used. It does not have to be able to have the same exact abilities as the store bought version of the Hexbug, but it must be able to move in the same manner. For example, one cannot chose to build the crab and put one wheels. If you do want to be creative, you can mix creatures, but you must indicate that. The ant will probably done the most because it has wheel like appendages and seems easier to replicate.
***You must use your own materials, not pieces of other Hexbugs***

Judges will grade you creature on a scale of 1 to 10 in the following categories: 

Creativity: Did they use pieces of previous robots bought in stores, or did they build their parts?

Aesthetics: Is it cleans, sleek, beautiful? Is it messy, unpleasant to watch and look at? 

Judges will grade you creature on a scale of 1 to 20 in the following category:

Function and Functionality:  Does it Work? If so, does it run smoothly without error? Can it work on uneven surfaces, or sand perhaps? Does it move completely on its own?

 The Max Score will be 40. If you receive a 25 or above, then a small prize will be awarded to you.
