Customer Ratings & Reviews

I got into the VEX ecosystem a couple of years ago for my kids Christmas gift. I saw this robotic arm on sale and it was too good a deal to pas up. It is a fun build with basic engineering concepts to explain to my young kids. The first one we built was a launching toy. I am glad this one does not launch projectiles across the room. No parts to loose this time.

This product was very entertaining and enjoyable. My son and I assembled it over Christmas break. The instructions were easy to understand and the finish product was great. Definitely recommend for buyers.

Ever wanted or needed a third arm? This is it! My 11-year-old nephew and I had a great time assembling this robotic arm. We played, then took it all apart, downloaded the instruction for the scorpion http://link.vex.com/help/pdf/robotic-arm/scorpion an then scared his mom with it. LOL.

This was purchased as a gift for my grandson, who was very excited to receive it. I was told it worked well.

it's top heavy so it does fall over easily, but my son loved putting it together and felt accomplished for doing so. we got it on sale so I am happy for the price I paid

Fun and engaging toy! Nephew had a blast building and playing with it.

Very fun challenge for my 11 year old. He enjoyed learning about gear ratios and the math behind them. Only complaint is that some plastic pieces have to hold the torque and are prone to snapping.

Easy to follow instructions. Built with my son, had a lot of fun. The other two builds shown on box requires separate instructions not included in box.

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He seemed to really like it.

My daughter (10) was able to knock this out in about a day. She enjoyed putting it together. The clamp on it sucks. But building it was the fun part for her.

My boy loved it. Sat down a built it right away. Will buy more..

This is a great gift for a child that enjoys building however, **** PURCHASERS TAKE NOTE: This particular toy needs a motor kit to operate and is sold separately. I found one at another retailer however I was pretty bummed about the description not mentioning this and having to go out of my way to locate and purchase one.

It was a gift. However, it was difficult to assemble and needed a father and a mechanical engineer, who actually works with cranes, to assist to boys in the assembly of the crane. It is not robotic it is more like a coin operated crane that picks up toys at local stores or carnivals.

I bought this for my 14 year old grandson and he loved putting it together. The instructions are for the crane but you have to go online for the alternate builds available. Good Educational toy.

My grandson the fifth greatly and uses them everyday

My 8 year old had this open and put together in one afternoon.

My son for Christmas so well under half price. He was excited.

Very easy to use. I definitely recommend this product.

Bought for nephew as a gift. He loves putting things together.

Bought this to help assist in a video project so needed something that worked as promised and wasn't too complicated to build. The parts and instructions were great, worked like a charm. It was even enjoyable to put together and made a great video when it was finished. Excellent value for the price.
