What if the balls do not shoot out? They wont pass through the orange piece. It feels like it is going to snap.

Our experience was similar to yours. It turned out that we had placed two parts in at the wrong orientation. We had to reassemble parts of it two or three times before we got it right.

Does anyone sell replacement balls? My children have lost them all.

I don't have any, but here is the company information. They deal in replacement parts. VEX.com +1 903-453-0804 help@vex.com 6725 W. FM 1570 Greenville, TX 75402

Is there a trick to disassembling the flanged locking pieces? Pure force? We do not want to break them

Hi there, you just need to apply light pressure during disassembly. If you have any additional questions about pieces please contact us at info@hexbug.com.
