PAI TECHNOLOGY 83101 Augmented Reality Robotic Building and Coding Kit, Botzees

not meeting the expectation. its like a simple block game where u can make different shapes using the blocks and then make it move by using phone instead of remote

This little dude is cool! I’m a teacher and loved getting to try this through Tryazon.It’s a great product for elementary age kids, and developmentally appropriate. The building blocks are easy to assemble and the instructions on the screen are very helpful for little ones.I love that you can code with it. Coding is a great skill for kids to have.Overall, I would definitely encourage other educators and parents to purchase these. They’re a great resource for kids to incorporate STEAM play.

Bluetooth or battery issues

I purchased these for use in my classroom. Since the schools are closed for the year, my family has enjoyed playing with them at home. Fun to build, as well as to program and complete the challenges. I just wish they would run on other platforms. I don't have a iPad at home. It works on my iPhone but would be much easier on a tablet or laptop. Very excited for my classes to use them along with our coding and programming lessons.

My son is a 4 with various developmental and physical special needs. Like other young children in his preschool, he wants to be able to build with blocks and code robots! However, my son has low muscle tone in his hands and struggles with object manipulation and visual spatial tasks. As a 15 year tenured teacher and mom, I highly recommend this product. BOTZEES IS A GAME CHANGER FOR my son! He has repeatedly seen his friends and other young boys in the neighborhood play with EV3 robots, Duplos, and LEGOs. These competitor items are frustrating for my son because the sharp 90 degree corners make it impossible for him to snap together and take apart the pieces, even the larger Duplos marketed for his age. In addition, the directions for building with the competitor products are not easy to follow. For a child who struggles with muscle tone and visual spatial tasks, it makes him feel very frustrated and constantly left out. He has all but given up on any kind of building. Then, we went to the Toy and Game Fair in Chicago. He saw this product and immediately and INDEPENDENTLY built 3 robots! The round corners of the product allowed him to manipulate the blocks with ease and the 360 degree views made it so that he could build the robot with almost NO ADULT intervention. Seeing this level of independence and excitement after so many other experiences of utter frustration was amazing. If you are a parent or teacher who buys products for young children or children with special needs, this is one of the best out there in the STEM category! I have seen many other products marketed for young children, but they are not developmentally appropriate. This product is perfect for that 4 - 7 age group as well as for my special needs son. I am thrilled to have found BOTZEES as it hits every box on my teacher and mom with SPED kid checklists. :)

Fun to build. However, straight out of the box, the drive mechanism doesn’t function correctly causing the robot to drive in circles only. Disappointing to spend so much on a faulty product.
