HEXBUG - VEX Robotics Robotic Arm - Yellow/Black

Product is very good, even for a beginning builder. Several options allow for the parts to be assembled, then disassembled and rebuilt into something new. If an individual really wants to let their creative minds flow freely, then put away the manuals and just let them start building what is on their mind. You will be surprised at some of the things that can be built just from an imagination.

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.

The Robotic Arm is challenging to put together for my 9 year old grandson. The instructions are good but can be confusing.

The instructions were easy to follow and it made a good project to do with my 9 year old. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the final product is not very strong and sturdy.

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.

I added the motor to this gift--it was the first thing my grandson began to build after gifts were opened. he had a good time building it, and then playing with it---grasping a variety of items with the arm. there's a lot of learning to be had with this set---he liked it and I was satsified with the quality,

My grandson of a 11 years old lives to build things, very engineer oriented.

my nephew is really into building robots and this is a great way to help with his building skills. challenging but great way to stay entertained.
