Adeept RaspTank Smart Robot Car Kit for Raspberry Pi 4 3 Model B+ B, OpenCV Target Tracking Tank Robot with 4-DOF Robotic Arm, Raspberry Pi Robot Arm with PDF Assembly Instructions

I am an electrical Engineer. I only say this because I. Am over careful when dealing with projects and order of part install.I have no choice but to review. Parts have come. Cracked. I also don’t get the batteries for the tank !!Please help me fix this this. Love the products. Dislike this handling of the product Rasp Tank.Brocken prices and no batteries ?!? What ? Who QC”s this from the 3D printer? Very disappointed

My man and I thought it was really cool to give as Christmas gift

I like the assembly process and it makes a great gift. I am not sure why the claw will not grab, I can open the claw by hand and it will close. I used the program that came with it.

I had initially rated this at 4 stars but dropping a star because there is little to no guidance on what to do if their instructions have issues being completed. BTW, I am using a Raspberry Pi 4b.I have had a lot of issues with their instructions either being incorrect, having excessive steps that aren’t needed, or don’t execute as indicated in their Raspberry Pi System Setup in “Basic Courses: Lesson 3”. They do not give any options for work around and only that you should contact Adeept if you have any issues.This is supposed to be a hobbyist project but it has turned into an advanced project to setup. Unless you or the person you are gifting it to has experience with RaspberryPi setup, advanced Linux use, and experience with Python coding language, try a different product, unless you want to dive into learning all 3. Then this is the product for you.Luckily I have experience with all 3 so I am able to create workarounds since almost many parts of the Lesson 3 Installing and Configuring Raspberry Pi System don’t work as printed.One additional recommendation. If you do purchase this, there are many very thin acrylic pieces that mount to 4 of the 5 servo motors. All of the pieces come covered in a protective, sticky paper for transport, which you need to remove during the actual build of the tank. Leave the paper on these very small pieces. They don’t show as they are covered with other pieces. This way, the paper on both sides provides extra stability for these pierces and they won’t break as easily. FYI.

Sadly I am going to give this a 1.5 to 2 stars.Personal think it's great but has a ton of small issues.Issues 1 the code does not work out of the box.I'm highly technical and it was annoying I had to edit the code.Issue 2 my panels broke way to easy. I didn't even have it running and I broke 4 pieces even the thick ones.Lucky I have 3D printers, but that's not the point.It's a little weird they designed the tank so compact, there is little room for the wires have fun!!!Some of parts labeled on the pdf were wrong and non matching.The big issue is, the code doesn't work...Secondly the plastic breaks to easy I had the tank tip over just to the left no drop or all and a wheel holder broke.My 2 cents 3D print something like it but a little bigger and more space.If everything worked 100% I would at least gave a 4/5Debating returning or fixing it.....
