I let my nephew assemble this robot with my son one day during his visit. My son had recently turned seven, and I was aware that this task would have been overly challenging for him to complete independently. My nephew seen the box and was asking about it. I figured it would be an ideal project for them to take on together. It turned out to be an excellent idea. Although it was evident that the task was challenging, they successfully assembled the robot entirely on their own after diligently following all the instructions for a few hours. They devoted a significant portion of the morning to constructing the robot, donning the controls, and subsequently spending the remainder of the day operating it and playfully chasing the cats. I am impressed by its remarkable ability to navigate our home effortlessly, traversing both hardwood and carpet surfaces without encountering any obstacles. It provided an exceptional opportunity for the two cousins to strengthen their bond through this shared experience. I anticipate that we may soon need to acquire another robot, as they have expressed a desire to engage in "robot wars."

This robot building kit is a fantastic gift for kids interested in STEM. The set includes clear instructions, and the remote and app-controlled features add an interactive element to playtime. It’s well-made and offers hours of creative building and learning. My child loved assembling the robot and experimenting with the coding features. A wonderful way to combine fun with education!

Got this for our son as he loves building. So far he loves it!!!!

The instructions offer a few different ways to build the pieces, all of them fun. The eyes are preprogrammed and the control box make's Wall-e type noises to go with the eye changes. The instructions are easy enough to follow and the number of pieces are low, so the fact that the bags aren't numbered shouldn't be too bad. Luckily you shouldn't need the app to use the basic features.

The reason for 3 stars is primarily the app. The robot is able to be controlled with a provided remote out of the box, or with an app, though I wouldn't recommend trusting the app at all. The link takes you to a sketchy website, and the app isn't downloaded through a secure store that scans all its apps for security like the Google Play Store. They expect you to sideload the app and bypass all security measures to use it. You would be better off hooking everything into Technic motors and using Lego's software to control it.
