What is K'NEX?
What is K'NEX?
K'NEX is one of the most successful construction kits in the world. It is based around a series of "Rods", which can be joined together by "Connectors", such as the one shown in our logo. Once they have mastered using these simple components, children and adults alike can use their
imagination to make potentially millions of different working models.
K'NEX parts are available in three different sizes, namely:
Micro K'NEX - the smallest size of K’NEX part, ideal for building roller coasters. Suitable for ages 7 to 11.
Classic K'NEX - the original size of K'NEX part, which can be used to build a wide range of different models. Suitable for ages 7 to 97.
Kid K'NEX - a version of K'NEX with larger, chunkier Rods and Connectors that small hands can easily join together. Suitable for ages 3 to 7.
Or you can record fly-by video of a car racing round the track, from any one of six fixed vantage points on the roller coaster.
Footage can then easily be downloaded to a computer using the USB cable supplied, and shared with friends.
The set includes colourful K'NEX parts; 2 coaster cars (one with camera); motorised chain lift; 5m (16 feet) of track; USB cable; and step-by-step colour-coded instructions. Instructions for a second roller coaster model are available on www.knex.com.
Requires 2 "AA" batteries. The video camera car also includes a rechargeable battery, which recharges via the USB cable supplied.
