Fun mini-robot to build and play with for a first grader
Very fun mechanical building set for kids starting to play with robotics or beginning engineering. It’s simple and easy enough for a 7-year-old to build, with a bit of adult help. Build quality seemed good, though we’re not sure how durable it will be. Good value for the small set, mostly due to the fun from playing than the quick build. My son has another kit from the same line, and we’ve become fans of these toys.

Easy to put together for kids
Easy to put together. One of the wires broke after they got it put together, so I had to order another one, but they won 1st place with it!

Fun, easy project
I completed this project together with my 8-year-old. I did most of the work, but an average 10-year-old could probably do this project on their own with minimal supervision. The instructions are pretty easily understandable (good accompanying diagrams). We completed the project in less than 30 minutes. You’ll need a smaller-sized, Phillips-head (“+” or “x” shaped) screwdriver to complete the project. You’ll also need a battery. Extra felt-tip markers, an extra battery, plenty of drawing paper, and a baking (cookie) sheet are also helpful once you’re ready to doodle. To change the drawing pattern, simply adjust the legs between drawings.Even though this was for my 8-year-old, other children from 4 years up to 12 years old would probably enjoy this project. The project may be too simplistic for young people older than 12 years old.This isn’t going to keep them occupied for hours and hours. Once you’ve completed the project, the actual drawing will keep children engaged for about 15-30 minutes before they lose interest. However, my children still enjoy pulling the robot out from time to time to do more doodling.Overall, this is a worthwhile return on the investment considering I paid less than $20 and spent less than 30 minutes on the actual build.

Design a little off
Kind of complicated and worked so so.

Very fun — try it inside a container (like a pan or jelly roll tray)
The interesting thing for me was watching my son build this toy, then play with it, then take it apart to reconfigure it and get new design patterns. The motor can be assembled into the toy four different ways for four different artistic patterns, and the pens can be adjusted into infinite varieties.He really likes this — he calls it his “Artbot” and he is making custom stationery/art for the brothers in colors of their choosing.Tip: When the markers wear out or a different color scheme is preferred, RoseArt thin markers fit better than Crayola thin markers. You may have to use a screwdriver to loosen the pen holders, then re-tighten on the markers.To keep the robot on the paper, he used an old 9X12 pan, lined the bottom with the drawing paper, and switched on the robot inside the pan.Very nice results.It took him about 70 minutes to assemble it the first time, and he still likes it. (He’s 10) He has used it for many hours, and the toy has withstood a couple of falls from countertops onto tile floors at the hands of the little brother.*** update — I added some photos in customer images ***

Great support, great product
We got this robot for our 5 year old son. When it arrived we found that one of the main power leads was pulled away from the solder joint. No biggy I figured, I’ll fix it myself later. Well later turned into quite a bit later, and I never fixed it . I ended up contacting the US distributor of the robot and asked if I could just buy the broken piece (was my fault I didn’t take care of it right away). They not only helped me out, but they did it right away and did not charge me at all.. My 5 1/2 year old put this together with no issues. I helped put pressure on the screwdriver for the Philips screws, but other than that he did it all himself…….And this thing is fun to watch! I totally looks likes it’s going to fall right off the table, but turns at the last second.

Aber leider funktioniert es nicht 100-prozentig, der kleine Krebs hat bei uns einen Abflug gemacht.

Piezas pequeñas que no son fáciles de ensamblar, y las instrucciones vienen solo en ingles. Pero aun así el armado y funcionamiento constituyen una experiencia amena y educativa para un niño y su padre. Buscaré más de esta marca.
