Awesome for kids.. and adults.
Edition: RPi5 8GB
This thing is awesome. The Bad: 0) note: all of these bad things aren't really that bad and you can get through it! i can't comment on their tech support because I generally avoid it, but their support docs are voluminous if you can just find them on the interwebs 1) you need to be fairly comfortable with more advanced networking concepts just to get started. If you are an IT engineer, that's perfect. Kids will need some help with initial setup and after that they can take off on their own. If you don't a networking background, paste this comment into one of the AI LLM's and they'll help you figure it out. 2) There is some very minor assembly required. It's far less than Lego Technics, and won't put off any moderately mechanically inclined tween or teenager. They even include the screwdriver. (Ours was slightly damaged in shipment, so I bent one of the metal tabs back into place with a pair of needlenose so that our younger ones wouldn't damage something, because it is kinda sensitive electronics.) 3) It's not large. The photos make it look huge. It's about the same size as one of those paintable model cars - but it's not big, maybe about the same footprint of a hardcover book. If you were thinking of using this to hold up your car so you can change your oil, maybe don't do that. However, it does seem extremely well engineered and the metal gauge (thickness) is heavy duty for what it is. I feel like this thing will last forever if we don't abuse it. 4) if you didn't buy with the rpi5, apparently they don't let you download the Rpi5 image without emailing them first and giving your order number. I'm sure it's not an issue but still a bit of a pain. The Good: 1) It's really well made. 2) It has a tremendous amount of capability 3) It'll REALLY teach your kids a ton without requiring them to know a lot about soldering or advanced electronics. It's the same level of coding knowledge that you need to do Code.org -- that is, basically zero. (I previously tried to get my kids into things like Raspberry pi and Arduino but they didn't have the same level of interest that I did when I was little, but they did love Lego and Technics and Code.org, so this might be the bridge you need and then just get out of the way and they'll branch into all of those more advanced topics from here.) 4) apparently you CAN use scratch etc to code this, but my feeling is that (unless your kids are younger than say about 6 or 7) you should just get them right into Python right off the bat, and then move on from Python (which is a great language to learn with and some people spend their whole career in it) to more advanced things like Go or Rust. 5) there's a bridge here to AI and LLMs, but it's a bit more advanced. Still, there's something addictive about seeing your program do something IN THE REAL WORLD. the first time the robot moves around under your command... that's just incredibly exciting. Technical tips: 0. first, go to hiwonder's website (search for it) and type in masterpi. this will take you to the support page, which will then link to a Google drive repo so you can download a MASSIVE 811 MB zip file filled with very nice English PDFs. (you also should follow the html documentation there just to get set up at least) 1. the robot is basically self-contained and uses the rpi's own Wifi. 2. So, connect to the robot over wifi (the raspberry pi 5 has its own Ad Hoc network configured, so you just connect to that with password hiwonder; then you use a standard VNC app (like bvnc on Android, or various ones on Linux) that DOES support TLS (note: many vnc apps do not!) to login using the default username of pi and password raspberrypi. Then you can do the alignment/calibration of the robot arm in a nice programming UI which will give you the first addictive taste of making the robot do real things. You should do that FIRST -- alignment is very important. RTFM for details. And if you read the instructions in this step carefully, you do NOT need to install unknown apps from China: you just connect to it with wifi and then use old-school VNC. If you've never used VNC (which is like windows RDP), it's basically remote control software, so you actually connect to a Linux desktop which has a pretty blue wallpaper from China. I speak only Texan, so I also clicked the "English" button in the "arm" app right on the desktop. (it's really not difficult). You can even write simple scripts in that app to put the arm in various angles (including impossible angles, which can't be good for it, heads-up!) 3. after that, you CAN (although you might not want to unless you have a secure locked-down wifi network) connect it to your main wifi so you can get to it from other machines etc. You can program it in Python, for example, which is awesome for kids once they get through the initial stuff. The thing with kids is they have to be productive right away. lastly: I bought the most expensive version of this little beast on a pre-Christmas deal on the basis of the reviews alone and I am very technical. I am not disappointed at all. I have ZERO connection with this company and it was not a paid review - check my other reviews to see that I'm a real Gen-Xer dude in Texas. Also, no AI was used to write this review, as you can easily tell if you are versed in AI mannerisms lol. ... show more

Good arm with decent processor
Edition: RPi5 8GB
I really like the MasterPi as it is a good combination of features and price. The robot is compact so you don’t need to set aside a large area for it run around in. Also, the gripper opens pretty wide so it can grasp a variety of objects. I have two of them now and use them for mobile manipulation with an added depth sensor (see video). I am running with a symbolic reasoning system so I largely use my own code base (search github for jconnell11/Ganbei) not Hiwonder. FYI, the Pi 5 is very susceptible to power glitches when the batteries are low, so the Pi 4 version is probably a better choice (or select bare and add your own Pi). ... show more

Great Learning Robot
Edition: RPi5 8GB
This is a great learning Robot! It may be that when you get your robot the app will not recognize the arm. You would need to send and email to hiwonder support so they can send you the latest image and source code. they have amazing technical support!
