Customer Reviews
This is an awesome kit! E 'enough pieces to build several different configurations of the robot (note that there are only enough engines to build a robot in a moment). I bought this to use in a class of high school. This has been our experience:
Box-mail and snatched the children in it. They were psyched. When they opened the box, they were shocked by the number of pieces. We realized that the pieces were divided into individual bags for each project. The bags are not resealable, so you should have a plan for keeping them organized once they are opened.
-We wanted to build the project more difficult (which appears on the front of the box), but I convinced them to start small. They built the car a bit 'before. It took about an hour, because we were still learning to use all the pieces. The indications were difficult to follow because they were used for legos. Have lost a step somewhere, and messed up so much that they had to take the project apart and start again. We were out of time, so I took the set to a friend's house and his son 10-year fan of lego to put together. He was able to follow the pictures and complete the project within 30 minutes.
My students loved-programming of the robots, once put together. The installation process is not ideal for the classroom, because there are lots of small pieces that can be easily lost. In the future, I would assemble robot me (or let a small group of students dedicated to work on it after school) and then let the children make the programming. It is not that children can not build the project (because clearly, the 10-year-old had no problem), but it was difficult for them to do as a group. Assembly required a lot of attention and space.
-I plan to buy more of these for my class. Children can work in groups of 3-4 students per kit. I want to encourage parents to buy that too. It 'definitely a toy that you can enjoy with your children. I would say that the minimum age is 8 pairs. I could put together 10 years, but had a difficult time for problem-solving. If a piece was missing (and some have been), has ceased to work, instead of looking a bit 'as one of the other bags. Parental supervision is definitely necessary. This toy will stop being fun if you lose too many pieces.
