“We've had hours of fun with this kit. It's easy to get up and running because the online worksheets are really well written, and so you get immediate results. But then there's plenty more you can do to refine your software and improve the chassis etc. that is really rewarding. Only complaint - included line detector unit doesn't work (I really need to go back to the PiHut for a replacement).”

“I purchased five of these kits for a homeschool robotics course. Purchasing the kits was less expensive than purchasing each of the individual components. The box itself is fun, with cute quotes printed on the sides. Our students enjoyed opening the kits and studying the individual parts inside. With the exception of one of our kits, the packaging and parts were well thought out, and the parts were received in good working order. One of our kits had a collision avoidance sensor with bent pins, but nothing that could not be coaxed back into place. Our students have not yet completed a full robot, but are stepping through the online CanJam tutorials (this is an introductory class, after all). We plan to visit a fabrication lab during this week's class to have our robot chassis laser cut, and plan to have our robots fully assembled with basic operations tested during our next class. Overall, a great and fun value for the price!”

“I got the camjam edukit3 for my nephew and made a framework ready for him to assemble at Christmas. It has good sturdy wheels and motors and runs for ages on the 4AA battery pack. We used it with a pi zeroW running headless over ssh. We initially had it set up through the house wifi but later configured it as a wifi hotspot so he could use it away from home. The programs on the camjam website were easy to follow and considering this was his forst foray into python after having only used scratch previously, he took t it ok. Spelling mistakes in his typing being the biggest culprit for failures. The line follower was the most fun and the avoidance sensor was good too. Building it was as much fun as programming it.”

“The kit contains everything to start learning and building robotics. You just need a screwdriver and scissors. Easy to understand online documentation with loads of examples.”

“The worksheet is well written and helpful for building step by step an autonomous robot. To improve I replace the metal ball with the Swivel Caster Wheel (Adafruit Supporting Swivel Caster Wheel - 1.3" Diameter) available at thepihut.”

“I ordered the raspberry pi and the EduKit #3 as a Christmas gift for my daughter to get her interested in physical computing. We had a great time build it over the Christmas holidays. The items arrived very quickly - ordered on Sunday arreived on Tuesday before Christmas, I spite of it being such a busy period. Really like the service and will certainly use again!”

“This was a Christmas present for my son. Ordered online from Pi Hut and everything went smoothly with the kit arriving before the big day! Once my son opened it he immediate started building the boxbot. He loves this and has lots of plans for future projects!”
