Very good quality from packaging to components and extremely clear instructions.

Excellent project with all parts supplied. very easy to build and plenty of coding (with corrections) to get the thing going. Nowhere can I find how to run the robot on the ground without all the peripheries attached to it as you need them to get it going. Also it would be helpful to have better explanation as to how to get at the worksheets. The instructions seem to have been written by 'experts' and assume knowledge by users that may not be there. Even so it is still brilliant!

Excellent kit with everything you need apart from a Pi, chassis and batteries. The box is pretty solid so makes a great starter chassis and the online instructions are pretty clear and assume no prior knowledge.

Great fun my first robot project. Was able to connect up my wiimote through Bluetooth and drive the robot with the nunchuck. Next step is to try the line sensing mode

This is a great first step into robotics, I’m working through it with the kids who are both thoroughly enjoying what they’re doing. The accompanying worksheet works well and explains what is going as it goes along

i have never built a robot before so this kit seemed like the right place to start. the kit is £18. i bought a powerbank for £10 and used a pi 3b+ and 4 aa rechargeable batteries that i already had just kicking about doing nothing. my only gripe is that the ball bearing castor wheel really isn't an ideal choice for the front and i will be sourcing a more standard style castor wheel to replace it. cannot imagine that will cost me more than a couple of quid so no biggie. i used the box the kit came in as the chassis. painted it with silver hammerite paint and used 'no more nails' adhesive to fix the electric motors to the chassis. having cut slots in the box to enable the powerbank sockets to remain exposed and to also allow cables to be threaded everything looks decidedly professional. also enabled vnc on the raspberry pi and this means i can control and program the robot without endlessly having to plug in screen/keyboard/mouse.

A nice set of components, just ad a pi and some sort of chassis (even a cardboard box) and you are good to go. Wasting time has never been such fun !!
