A Very Loved Gift

I bought this for a friend of mine and he is THRILLED with it. Thank you.
Fun and educational robot

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.

Didn’t last very long and time consuming

Bought this robot in Nov. of 2020. Gifted it to my child who had a hard time getting any of it put together. We knew we would would probably end up building it, but still though he might be able to help with more than popping out the parts from the plastic. Despite this and hours of putting this thing together he still love it. Each time you want to change what it does it takes a while to take it apart and assemble it with its new pieces. Again, still loved it. He played with him him probably 4 to 5 times a month.
We are a few days ahead of thanksgiving 2021 and "Wally's" (we named him) wheels have broken right off rendering him useless.

Bought for 14 year old son as a fun afternoon project

It's a cute little project. Easy for my 14 year old to put together. He enjoys changing the functions to make it do other things.
Very good and educational!
