“This kit worked great. Our trouble was building bodies that can be reused.”

“I think this is a great bit of kit, I bought it for a child so I could build it and its working well. The instructions are very well done and there is lots to do with it. After a while the double sided tape holding the motors on to the cardboard box gave way so I used super glue, still holding.”

“Excellent educational kit. I used it to build a robot car to introduce my grandson in robotics. We had a great fun building it.”

“Delivery was fast (about a week to western USA). Robot went together following the directions without any issues. Runs perfectly. What else can I say? Building the kit is better done by older kids or adults, but once built, programming is easy for much younger kids, even to 4th grade. This will definitely fill the niche for those teachers/parents wanting a robot kit to entice their kids into playing with the Raspberry Pi. The building and programming worksheets are extremely well written: more well-known kit manufacturers should take notice.”

“This is such fun to build and play with. Great introduction to robotics that works really well. If you tried the earlier kits (or have done basic electronics) you can add all sorts of fun things, like flashing LEDs, alarm sounds, additional sensors etc. It is much easier to use than an arduino kit I got from RadioShack - just get up a putty session and play to your heart's content. At the price it is phenomenally good value and is a great little package. Some minor quibbles: 1. The box is OK as a frame, I used spare stuff from my RadioShack kit which is like meccano to make a robust chassis. 2. Breadboard is a little small if you want to extend the project, but easy enough to get another 3. Those 330R resistors are not so easy to get hold off, could have done with some more as they are useful with the Pi power supply 4. I used a USB charger for power, nothing comes to power your Pi and you don't really want to have a cable 5. No documentation in kit 6. Pain recoding all the code, although probably good practice - you can cut and paste into nano, sort of”

“Bought this for fun and enjoying making it go. You need a power pack to make it mobile.”
