“No complaints about the product, just the way it was shipped. The shipping label was put directly on the product. Since this was a gift , it was difficult removing the large label. The label covered up what else might be needed to assemble the robot. This the first time an order has not come in a different shipping box.”
“I ordered this, for a Christmas gift. It arrived in it's regular box, with my address label adhered to it. How could I wrap that and say it's from Santa like that!!?”
“Assembly was very involved. Since plastic pieces all needed to be snapped out of plastic form, there were numerous burrs that can interfere with the function. We had a hard time getting everything to work together. It is ok as assembled now, but not ideal. I expected something a little better from this brand.”
“This is a very unique STEM product that teaches coding in a creative way without the use of computers or typical coding languages. The robot is coded by attaching small blocks to the center wheel. Those blocks hit various levers as it rotates that trigger breaks, backwards movement, or functions such as throwing a ball.While this is educational, it is limited in it's coding education. The programming is very procedural. Each time the wheel goes around the code will be exactly the same. There are no sensors or if/then logic that are common in other robot kits. The educational benefits of this are more focused on understanding the engineering of how it all works.It's important to note that this needs to be assembled from 200+ pieces. The robot is appropriate for a 10 year old to build, but I'd strongly recommend adult help when building it. Putting it together took us a couple hours.Overall, we've really enjoyed the robot and had fun with the different modules that are included in the box. Definitely recommend as an activity for kids that doesn't involve screentime.”
