Got this for my grandson he loves it

Been playing with this today . You need to BUY an 18650 battery with flat top (not the button type) and a way to charge it. You'll need to get it before you assemble your robot as you need to insert it fully charged during the assembly. Next You need either a computer ,tablet or phone to go and get the instructions. I was annoyed by this because they are PDF and could EASILY have been included as a printed manual. Anyway we got down to assembling. It is fiddly with very small nuts to position. You get the rest of the machine,in pieces to make of course. The body is acrylic. Parts all look good quality and everything is made to fit without problem. Remember it has 8 legs so the assembley of each will be the same and gets a bit tedious. On assembley, there is software (downloaded with the manual). I also downloaded it seperately incase there was any difference. As yet we havent finished the build. It will take several days . Not that it is long but the particpant's interest Wained and we'll wait till he wants to get on with it again. This is something a sciency or craftsy 10 year old would enjoy. My 12 y old helper likes dismantling stuff but lacks attention so one must be on hand to give a bit of encouragement. We found the video you can watch via a link was very small and while we could understand ok, it was not really more helpful than the PDF. I think the manufacturer should include the battery and charger with the kit as it isnt inexpensive and there really should be a printed tutorial to save all the backwards and forwards when youve got it all laid out to build. Photos are 1. part assembled robot and all the parts included. 2. section of the PDF showing how the instructions are laid out (ignore keyboard thats just a bit of our computer)

Il montaggio è abbastanza complesso però molto carino . Peccato la batteria non è compresa nel kit , dovrebbe essere inclusa .

This thing sucks. First it did not come with the special battery that we had to order separately. Once we finally got the battery my kid lost interest in the project. I completed the assembly myself to try and get my kid to regain interest but then we were unable to do any programming or get the thing to move. There are No instructions, you have to look everything up online. The programming instructions available online are either not existent or way too sophisticated for a child or adult who doesn’t have previous computer programming experience. They make it look simple on the videos. But it is not. They are not showing all of the steps.

No battery included in the set.

Needs special batteries. Wished it would've stated that beforehand. Christmas gift child still waiting for battery delivery
