    A great learning tool for your children. Other coding sets involving both mech or bots are way too overpriced and eventually set aside! This fun set can be happily expanded with experience wise with its other coding mechs!

    A GREAT LEARNING PROJECT FOR YOUR KIDS. IT GIVES THE CHOICE OF MANY DIFFERENT ROBOTS THAT YOU CAN MAKE THAT YOU CAN PROGRAM TO DO MANY TASKS. IT IS A GOOD VALUE FOR THE COST AND LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

    Awesome product built with my son and he had a great time for about 10 minutes he left me to do all the hard work. But once it was built he had a blast coding and playing with it.

    am pretty good at following directions and got this to do with my 11 year old son. Some of the pieces were really difficult to get exactly right and while some are marked with their identification (ie, piece C3) others are not. So when we had to backtrack, it was very tricky to try and put back together. It was a good exercise in following directions for him, but ultimately we were not successful.
