I recently gotten a hexbug, I'm wondering, Could I be able to recyle these things for a combat robot?

I currently have 1 Ant, but I'm planning on getting an inchworm and another ant...

Hey, I saw the inchworm & crab at Radioshack. They were cool, I thought of getting one but I didn't.

Us eurofags always get ripped off either by companies assuming £1 = 1$ or €1 = 1$.

EDIT: nowait. You brit actually got it cheaper. If it was direct money conversion, you should have paid 12 pounds, but you paid 10.

Back on topic, you shouldn't salvage anything from the hexbug, the remote is IR (infrared) and not radio. The only reasonable thing you can use from ti are the motors (if they're any good), or electornics from the PCB (if you're electronics-savy, and the PCB doesn't consist of a big glob of epoxy covering all the interesting stuff).
