    • Loved by 8-Year-Old
I bought this for a bright boy who was turning 8. I thought, oh no, too much, but he had it made in 2 days after his party. He told us how he programmed it with his dad and sent a video. He really enjoyed it. Wow! This is a winner. (I never heard about the lego kit I also gave him.) I'm so pleased the young man enjoyed a gift that engaged him. ... show more

    • Makes for a fun Father/Son time!
My son is really into robotics, he loves building them with Lego and trying to make them move. Since he recently had a birthday we decided to get him some STEM activities and found this. We both absolutely love it, it is a great father/son activity that we can spend a lot of time on trying new things. If you child is into any sort of programming, robotics or STEM activity this is a great way to introduce them to that world of creativity. Since you can code it in a variety of languages, it gives the kids a way to increase their skills in different computing languages. ... show more

    • Assembly is easy but instructions are a bit sparse.
Assembling this was fairly easy, a #3 phillips screwdriver will be required. The screw driver that came with the kit is a tiny little one that is only used for putting the wheels onto the ends of the motor axles. The printed instruction that come with the kit don't give a good reference as to where the motor cables plug in, one drawing seemed to indicate what motor is #1 and what is #2, but if you use that to reference how to plug the cables into ports 1 and 2, the motors will run backwards. This is an easy fix, just swap the cables, but it could have been spelled out in the instructions better. The pre programmed obstacle avoidance program does not work well. It is programed to drive in a 30 inch circle until it runs into an obstacle. If it does encounter an obstacle it backs up, turns, and then just makes a loop to run into the obstacle again. You are probably supposed to write your own code to create a program that works better. I didn't try the line following program yet, the pre printed course is folded up in the box and I didn't have the time to get the creases out of it so that it lays flat enough to drive on. The remote works good, it has more functions than needed in the basic kit. The software was about a 600 MB download that expands to use almost 2 Gigs of hard drive space when installed. The software is not very intuitive, it looks to be designed to be used with separate instructional materials. The basic design of the software is to build code using visual blocks that you select and click together in the proper sequence to write the code. The different types of functional blocks are pulled from different tabs on the left of the screen, the tabs are labeled as to what type of code is under that tab. (Motor, Sensor, Logic, Math, ETC) You can also write code in C++ and Python, the IDE for this looks and feels a little different than the Arduino IDE, but it has some similar functions. This kit gives a shorter experience to creating a functional design when compared to an Arduino based kit. You build a little robot and can code it without having to worry about the details of the electronic components and hardware interfaces that you would need to use with the Arduino. This would be better for less experienced users as the details of working with discrete electronic components is not needed. ... show more

    • Fun, Challenging, and Actually Educational
This kit is a great combo of fun and learning. It’s not just a toy—it really gets kids thinking and experimenting with real coding, from Scratch to Python. The build itself is solid with lots of parts and sensors to play with, and the modular design makes it flexible for different projects. Setup took a little patience, but once it’s up and running, it’s smooth. Great for any kid who’s into robotics or just curious about how things work. Definitely recommend if you want something more than just a plug-and-play toy. ... show more

    • Great teen project.
I ordered this for my grandson who just turned 13. He loves STEM projects so this was perfect for him. My son helped him put it together but he could have done it himself if he wanted to. Materials are good quality and its a good value for the price. Battery life is average. Fun toy project.

    • As a hardware and software engineer, this is a fun way to introduce others into my world
Excellent kit. The tactile feel of putting together components informs understandings of mechanics. Then you can modify some code. For fun, introduce some bugs and help your protege figure out how to solve them and add features to the code.
