Edition: Robotics kit - pre-assembled
I just can't put it down. I purchased the pre-built version, and am glad that I did. Not much extra cost for them to put it together. I'm sure that some like the building experience, but not me. It can be used right out of the box with an Android (or iPhone?) app or by using the IR remote. There is a built-in gyro (which can be disabled), which triggers a recovery motion if Bittle is upside down. There is add-on hardware, my favorite of which is the Mu Vision Sensor camera. The camera can be set to stream video, so you see what it sees. Bittle itself can also be setup for WiFi, so that you can control him with anything that can run a web browser. It can use Bluetooth and USB out of the box. But the real fun starts when writing code for it. The open-source software means that you can rewrite any part of the code you want. There are libraries online for further enhancements. You can add "instincts" or edit already written "instincts," which are new positions or motions, like walk, trot, run (forward, backward, and left, right), sit, pee, pushups, look around, etc. It's fairly easy to add instincts, although designing them can take thought and experimentation - especially the gaits (as opposed to behaviors and postures). That's not to say that you will be programming Bittle to climb steps on the first day (unless you're far more experienced than I). Plenty of patience and research is required in order to do anything fancy. There is significant online documentation, but you need to put the instruction pieces together and understand how it all works. You can code in Python, C++, and some visual language that I have yet to try (but might be great for beginner programmers). I'm using the recommended Arduino IDE (free for Windows, macOS and Linux), which seems to have a large following, along with the availability of more open-source software. As the headline states, the possibilities are endless with this ingenious robot - all depending on how much effort you want to expend in research and/or your own programming. Unlike toys with built-in actions and nothing else, your imagination is the limiting factor. Cons: My Bittle's head doesn't have a great physical connection, so it can get disconnected when he falls over. I have been leaving the head off when experimenting. The optional camera is an odd physical setup, mounted in Bittle's mouth. I may try to come up with a different design with a 3d printer, but that could be a project on its own. I have yet to figure out how to connect a Raspberry Pi (not a lot of documentation), but hope to be able to do that at some point. I'm guessing that it will require a bit of soldering. I would like to be able to purchase each Bittle part separately (the plastic body parts, motors, springs, screws, main board, add-on cards, battery, etc.). The online documentation is extensive, although there are portions that are unclear to me or not 100% comprehensive/complete. Maybe it's just my USB cables, but I am concerned that plugging/unplugging the battery charger will wear out the cable that is placed so close to the charging port. Also, USB-C might be better than Micro USB these days. Overall, Bittle is a blast. If you like tinkering, coding, and learning, you won't be disappointed or bored. But even if you don't wish to become a programmer, it is fun to play with right out of the box.

Edition: Robotics kit - pre-assembled
If you are comparing this robot dog to the XiaoR Geek Bionic Robot Dog Kit, choose this one. The XiaoR appears to be well built and has more range of motion. The XiaoR app didn’t work well with my iPhone 12 Pro. No Support. The Petoi Brittle worked out of the box. Support and Tutorial videos are helpful. The Petoi Brittle is a much more mature product with a support system. I was surprised by features and accessories provided in the box. The app worked easily and the unit came with a small remote. The remote works for line of sight pre-programmed operation. I was very surprised operating the Brittle via remote and it fell over; the robot quickly self righted itself on its own. Good Value, Good Support out of the box.

Edition: Robotics kit - construction
Struggled with the flow of available information on how to assemble and calibrate the Bittle. Tech support was responsive, but never could get the desktop app to work. Their mobile app (iPhone in my case) worked well, but despite multiple efforts at calibrating, the performance was spotty at best. Lots of potential, but my view of the thing is that it is a work in progress. The plastic legs slip on hard surfaces, so it might be advisable to make you dog some booties. My doggy's legs fall off frequently. I guess my expectations were a bit too high: I was expecting an experience like I've seen with those Boston Scientific dogs! I will see if I can extract some value out of the programming aspect of the device. I paid $263 for it here on Amazon, but see it's $214 on the Petoi website. I doubt I am going to see a great ROI. Live and learn.

Edition: Bittle X w/ voice commands - construction
I bought Bittle X construction version for my daughter to get started in robotics and coding. She spent like 2-3 hours assembling and setting up the robot dog following the documentation. It's not the smoothest process as it did take some tinkering to get everything right. But it's worth the effort. We can control the robot dog with the mobile app and voice-command it. Because she already has some experience with Scratch programming, it's straightforward for her to code Bittle with block-based programming and do some projects from the quadruped robotics curriculum. I am an experienced developer. But I've had fun programming Bittle because quadruped programming is quite different from other forms of programming as I need to control legs simultaneously to move Bittle around and maintain its balance at the same time. Overall, it's a great educational robot kit for teenagers and adults.

Edition: Bittle X w/ voice commands - construction
I bought Bittle X as a birthday gift for my 9 year old son, who absolutely loves it! The tricks such as front/back flips that are activated through voice commands are really cool and cute at the same time. I bought the construction kit, so my son and I had a lot of fun assembling it as well. The step-by-step assembly instructions on YouTube make it pretty straightforward. During assembly, we ran into an issue with one of the servos not working properly. That's when I had the pleasure of discovering how good their tech-support is. I requested help through their website and I got an email response by the end of the day, clearly showing step-by-step instructions with screenshots how to reconfigure the servo pins to address the issue. That indeed got the robot fully working, and they were also very helpful with answering a couple of my further questions. I look forward to introducing my son to the exciting world of coding and robotics through Bittle's educational platform.

Edition: Bittle X w/ voice commands - construction
This was a gift for my son. It was a lot of fun watching the dog perform its tricks and commands. He’s had it for about six months. Last week a part broke and I wrote customer service and they got right back with me right away.. They worked with me and are sending us a replacement. They were so helpful and I was happy that they are sending the replacement. There customer service is outstanding!
