Overall, this is a pretty nice kit allowing you to build several different robots. The instructions are relatively easy to follow and the parts in the kit are well organized. The powering of the robot with the solar panel/solar cell is great as you don't need to worry about batteries or the weight from a power source as the solar cell is extremely lightweight. In my opinion where this kit went seriously wrong however, is the execution of packaging the parts.The robotics kit is listed for eight (8) and above and it has full directions and labeled bags for the given parts. All of that sounds great until you open the packaging with younger children only to find that all the parts are connected to plastic sheets and you need to free the parts and sand each component with a file to remove extra plastic nibs. It is you (parent/uncle/aunt/adult) that get to deal with an impatient child and you are left to remove all parts and place them in the correct labeled baggies. This process took almost two hours to get all the parts/pieces in their labeled baggies as well as build the robot's head and motorized body.Pros============Good instructionsSolar powered - no need for batteriesFlexible in that there are multiple robots that can be build from the componentsInexpensiveCons============Parts not already separated from plastic sheetsKit not in "Assemble Ready" conditionI understand that the parts are shipped this way and it is often cheaper and more efficient thereby keeping costs down, but I would have rather paid a little extra for the parts being in the bag and the robot being ready to build/assemble. There is nothing wrong with the kit or taking things apart, but I would have done things much differently had I known we couldn't build the robot as soon as I opened the box.If the robot had been assemble ready, meaning parts were separated and in their corresponding bags like Legos I would have definitely given this unit five (5) stars.

Sone if the connections were difficult but overall my 9 year old grandson loved it.

My son opened it up and put it right back in the box. I had to return it so it wouldn’t be a waste of money sitting in the closet.

Kid loved it

My son and I had a blast putting it together. He was very intrigued by it and I think it's a great product I just think they need better solar panel and maybe an on-off switch would be cool. I know I have to do is pull one of the wires out but that's difficult for a 9-year-old to comprehend
