HEXBUG BattleBots VEX Robotics Kits Reviews
| 1. If you have leftover pieces from building the kits, it is in your best interest to keep them. You may find you're missing a piece as I did with the Minotaur kit. Found that same piece as a leftover from the Tombstone kit. |

Minotaur https://battlebots.fandom.com/wiki/Minotaur/VEX_Robotics |
