I purchased this little robot for my son and he was so amazing I had to go get myself one so we could play together. Hours of fun and especially with more than one of them! Definitely one of the best toys I have ever bought!

It was smaller than I imagined. My son who is eight year old loves it though. Not too hard to program.

This is probably the coolest “tech” kids toy I’ve seen! Balancing on two wheels on its own it can be controlled via smartphone or verbal/auditory commands!! Excellent gift!

Bought it as a gift. Great in the beginning but after programming it to move around a few dozen times, it gets old and now just sit there.

My 10 yr old nephew likes it. A little above his skill sets, but then the guy describing how to program it isn't that dude from Australia talking about Minecraft *rolls eyes*. I think it's an amazing piece of gadgetry. My brother and I thought "Wow! Had we had this when we were kids in the 70's, we'd have been in hog heaven" It's great for kids a bit older who are in to the details and following instructions.

Good experience but requires patience. It does a bit out of the box but you will discover more and more if you take the time to connect the app. Documentation is a little lacking. I'm sure it does more than we have discovered. It's not really something my son plays with unless I get it out then he is all over it. Plus, how cool is it to own a robot?!

I was afraid this might not work as my son expected but it did...and he could work the app by himself. He's wanted this for a long time but I was hesitant. The buying and shipping process was easy and we got the warranty just in case.

This is amazing I got it for my 3 year old and he just loves it he gets to take his tablet and controle mip via bluetooth.
Then we set time aside to sit down and slowly work on the concept of coding. What a great idea.

I bought this for my 9 year old grandson. He absolutely loves it. It definitely helps to have an adult figure it out and help the kid at first but once the child finds out what he can do with the robot he will expand his own horizons. Its traditional robot appearance (R2-D2, Robbie, etc.) means that the child will connect emotionally almost immediately.
I also purchased a small video camera that can be carried on the robot's tray to produce some interesting video.

Bought this for my 8 year old. He loves it and learning how to make it do new things. It seems pretty durable as it has been through a number of collisions and hits over the past 6 months.

My daughter loves this. She immediately tore into in and started to play with it. For 11 years old, she was able to quickly figure out how to use it. Very user friendly
