  • Updated review
Style: Standard
Update: After many tries, we finally got it to work, sort of. The instructions do not explain exactly how far to push the marker in the robot so she had to try many times to get it right. She's now having fun trying to figure out how to make shapes. Bought this for my daughter for Christmas as she asked for a coding robot. It's been a big disappointment. I can't even get past step 7. It wants you to connect to artie wifi then go to the website. But you can't go to the website because you're not connected to wifi. Then it tells you to go to local.codewithartie.com. I tried different devices to get to this site and nothing works. Image attached of the error message I get when trying to go to this site from one of my devices. My daughter was so excited to play with this Christmas morning but she is very disappointed. At this point I am ready to give up and return it. ... show more

  • Wouldn’t calibrate properly
Style: Standard
This is a cute but we could not get it to draw accurately. Circles wouldn’t quite close, lines didn’t match up correctly, etc. Programming it to do something more specific like write a message is fairly time consuming. Ended up returning as we knew it would be overly frustrating for our 8 year old.

  • Neat
Style: Standard
This thing is pretty neat but it is very programming oriented and pretty tough for a young child to use

  • Robot that combines coding and drawing
Style: Standard
Artie 3000 is a cool drawing coding robot. He comes with setup instruction, 4 markers, marker aligner and 3 activity sheets. He requires four AA batteries and a computer or tablet to run the coding interface. You insert the marker in a compartment on top of his head. You use a plastic circular piece to help guide how far to insert the marker. Put a piece of paper on surface. Make sure you tape the paper on the corners so it doesn’t slide when Artie runs. The recommended age for this toy is 7 to 12. Our 6 year old needed help from our 10 year old. It was much easier for our 10 year kid to code and run it. We connected to Artie on our iPad Air and then went to coding interface. The coding interface and Artie can be a bit quirky at times so we had to retry here and there. In order to do the letters and numbers you will need to upload additional files. These are available on Educational Insight website for computer or on the interface for tablet. There is a stimulator mode on the interface that allows you to test out your code before running Artie. Our kids were able to make Artie draw shapes, patterns, mazes, letters and numbers. Overall, it’s a fun toy to learn to code while making art. It’s cool for kids to see the actual result with their own eyes. One area to improve is to give Artie the ability to retract the marker when he is waiting for coding instructions. Right now he creates a big blob (dot) on the paper while he is in wait mode. The only way to prevent this is to tilt him on his side and put him upright when the kids are ready to run the code. ... show more

  • My son loves
Style: Standard
This is a great beginner programming robot! My son is 10 and set it up in his own and is spending a lot of time playing with it. Great price and value for what he’s learned from it AND the hours of focus and enjoyment!

  • Fun, creative intro to coding. Easy set-up.
Style: Standard
My 8-year-old daughter LOVES Artie. The instructions that come in the box are pretty minimal. I highly recommend going to the website and watching the quick setup videos. For us, the set up was easy. We were able to connect to Artie’s wifi and get to the coding website with no problem. Our Artie didn’t need calibration - worked great out of the box! We’re using him on a hard floor. The drag and drop website definitely works best on a computer. It’s much harder to use on a phone - some of the controls get cut off on the phone, and my daughter kept accidentally moving the code commands when she was just trying to scroll, which was frustrating. All those problems went away on the computer. It might work ok on a tablet; we didn’t try that. The coding website has some fun, basic drawings pre-programmed, which is great for instant gratification. There are also instructions in the box for coding basic shapes. Once you know the basics, you can code your own designs. In the picture, you can see that my daughter (with a little help from Dad on getting the angles right) coded Artie to write her name. The mandala was a pre-programmed design. You might want some larger pieces of paper to keep Artie from going off onto the table or floor. Taping the paper down definitely helps! All in all, fun, great value for the money, and a creative way to introduce kids to coding basics. ... show more

  • Much more advanced than I expected
Style: Standard
I tinkered with this before I unveiled it to my kids. Its got a lot of capabilities. The simulator is very helpful deciding how to adjust your drawing. Connecting is not difficult, sometimes you have to refresh but its really simple and reliable once you are connected. The kids like to make the pre-coded shapes or just let him run for fun. Not a lot of direction. I would say the age should be at least 10+ not 7. Kids can make it work. If you don;t watch them they will drive it right off the paper and all over the table/floor. I work at a software company and some of our products are written in Java scripting. I haven't gone deep into the coding part but from what I saw is it is legitimate coding. My kids are not ready for that (oldest is 9). My hang ups is its kinda cumbersome to switch the markers and the instructions say if you have problems replace the batteries. That is true but you must have very new STRONG batteries. I hope rechargeable work. **Update** Rechargeable batteries do help and holding or taping the corners of the paper help keep the lines straight. ... show more
