    • High quality kit! Fun to build! Don't be swayed ... get it, commit to it, and you'll have a blast!
Just for some perspective, as a child I built radio control cars and I currently do a little programming at my place of employment so this was something I believed that I would enjoy ... and boy I was right. Over the holiday break, I cleared off our kitchen table and went to work. My first impression was that this kit was packaged well and the pieces seemed to be of a quality higher than I expected since it's price was reasonable. I downloaded the instructions and programming. After review, I also ordered a raspberrry pi 4, memory card, hdmi cable adapter for the pi, and made sure to purchase the recommended special batteries that are mentioned in the instructions. I didn't want to mess around as others who complained about charging or other power issues because they wanted to use batteries that came in their $10 fleabay flashlight. The instructions are great. I learned about installing the operating system on the pi which was cool and will come in handy for future projects. I needed a usb mouse, keyboard, and hdmi computer monitor to get the pi setup. I just used my iphone charger to power the pi. As far as building the dog itself, please note that some of the pieces are very small but just take your time and you'll be fine. The kit included a few extra pieces with I appreciated. I felt a great amount of satisfaction once I actually powered it up for the first time. The software did crash once but a quick reboot fixed that. It doesn't go on carpet. I cannot recommend this kit enough and I hope I can find others who have this so we can share ideas! Five Stars! ... show more

    • Great engineering bonding experience but technically frustrating.
Review Image by Decades Arcade Decades Arcade
I don’t ever write reviews, but this one deserves one. First, this project is not for the faint of heart, you really need a good technical background. The tutorial will only get you so far. I am an electrical engineer and there were aspects I struggled on. In fact, I apparently smoked part of the controller board and had to buy a replacement. I had to track down where to buy the correct lithium batteries. Placing some of the screws to connect the acrylic pieces can be maddening at times. A couple of the servos were dead, or may have been taken out when the controller board got smoked. So why four stars with all of that? Sounds like a disaster doesn’t it ? Even my daughter at times said that she wanted to smash Robo dog to pieces. And yet this product accomplished what it was intended to accomplish, which was to have my 10-year-old daughter build a robot with me. Through all the frustrations, the disassembly’s, the parts replacement, we finally ended up with a working dog. And getting to that stage is so much more rewarding, than buying a pre built remote control car off the Internet that just works out of the box. One gets a sense for how this thing works, why it doesn’t work, how it goes together, etc. For a budding engineer (I hope), this is what the reward of doing this is all about. Mechanically anybody can put this together if given enough time. However if you are not familiar with python and raspberry pi, this can go off the rails quickly. The tutorial is clear, but when things don’t work, figuring them out with no background would be tough . Also, the Mac OS app crashes and burns frequently. The iOS app seems to be much more stable. That said, I would buy it again, I would build it again. Six weeks after we started we have a working dog, that she is going to demo to her classmates this week. ... show more

    • Good instructions and Customer Support

The media could not be loaded. Enjoyable build and good customer support. No problems with parts or the instructions. Make note that if you “cut and paste” code from the pdf instructions into the Raspberry Pi, the code may contain extra spaces. This made me think the product was defective, but after contacting customer support, and removing the spaces, the code and product worked great. I didn’t like the head, so I made a new one on my 3D printer. ... show more

    • Nice adult toy but picky to PSU, battery type and some parts could be faulty
I'm 35 years old software development engineer with no robot building experience. Purchased just to play around. Nice adult toy to play with, challenging. Has issues, see below. Be ready to DIY (do it yourself) and FIY (fix it yourself) :-) Pros: - Affordable - Cool puzzle to build :-) - Definitely educational - A lot of components out of the box: camera, ultrasonic, gyro, leds, 13 servos - Vanilla packed parts (no repack), so you can imagine yourself building from parts ordered separately Cons: - My robot after construction has failed servo tests. Some servos did not properly react on control signal. Support require photos and videos, so be ready to provide them to get new parts shipped. Parts are shipped from China, shipping to NJ took 12 days, for example. Anyway, if it doesn't work, then it is easier to return it rather than trying to obtain spare parts. Received parts did not improve situations. I have dive deep on my own what is causing the issue and found that default calibration for servos is incorrect. I have updated Servo.py to properly set angle from 0 to 180 and now all servos started to work well and device has passed finally the servo test. - Picky to PSU (power adapter). Compatible PSU doesn't come with robot. Refused to charge from 5V@3A SMRAZA PSU that can power RPi4 without issues. Refused to charge from USB ports on my power strip. Accepted to charge from iPhone charger. Charger on robots shows blinking white D4 on incompatible PSU but in instructions it is outlined as "damaged battery" condition. Thats not true. - Picky to Battery. Compatible batteries are not included with robot, instructions are not clear what are the best batteries to use with robot. I have purchased IMREN 3500 batteries as they recommended in documentation, but integrated charger charges them too slow and it doesn't properly report charge level. 100% charged battery is reported as 75% (3/4) in my case. The battery that works well is reported as has 0% charge. I have verified the charge level on Nitecore D4. - Hard to detach batteries once attached to charge externally. Why charge externally? See previous bullet point. Have to use screwdriver to pull back batteries. Any accidental physical damage to lithium battery could cause short-circuit in battery and battery fire. Definitely not designed for safety. I advise to learn how to deal with lithium batteries on fire in advance ;-) just to be ready for worst case scenario. - The software is crap. The client is crashing periodically (may be just on mac, did not test on windows) with segfault. Video streaming doesn't work as well (again, mac). Default servos calibration is not sane. - Some assemble steps are hard to do without having tiny fingers :-) - Instructions could be much better. A lot of water in instructions, some statements are incorrect or misleading. Tips: - Follow instructions where "tape" is mentioned. Tape in right place could save a lot of time because tape will hold nut in the places where it is hard to hold nuts using fingers. - If servo test doesn't work, I would recommend to edit "Servo.py" and replace "4096 * ((angle * 10) + 850) / 20000" with "120 + (510 - 120) * (angle / 180)" - Don't trust battery charge indicator - Don't trust battery damage indicator - Use PSU from phone charger - Don't use IMR batteries (charge level, charger and damage indicator is not correct for them), try regular Samsung dig discharge current batteries - To achieve best results you need to properly center servos on 90 degrees position. If you can't get that then try these two advices: a) swap servos - some servos could fit better specific position than others b) rotate white disk servo arm on 180 degrees - it could work better for some positions - If you see missing or damaged parts - return and order new one. It is faster than contacting Freenove support and wait for 12 days, especially, if you have just 30 days to return. I have removed 2 stars because: - Support is more confusing than helping. Asks to run experiments, swap servos, swap pins, etc then record videos and take photos and upload to them. Finally, not being able to detect root cause - they are sending new parts with 12 days shipping from China. And new parts once arrived did not fix the issue. - I have to fix provided software on my own manually to get it working. ... show more
