This is not a toy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not fun! It’s a very sturdy machine with legit parts for a robot. I find the programming just as fun and addictive as my kid. The projects are fun, but we went through them quickly so I’ve had to make up more challenges to keep the interest going. A few notes: the software and documentation are not bulletproof. I’ve had to do a bit of debugging through the process that I don’t think a parent without prior experience with programming and basic knowledge of electronics would easily figure out. The makeblock forums are very helpful when you run into issues. Overall, everyone loves mBot and its been a great learning experience

Great robotic construction toy, grandson loved it

Makeblock will not run on my Android phone. The app isn't available because it was made for an older version of Android. Nor will it run on Windows 11. I know I read somewhere that it did. If I can't figure it out in the next few days, it will be returned. The instructions are not helpful. After more searching on Youtube and various web sites I was able to download to my Kindle. It wasn't easy to find, but it did work. Changed to 4 stars. A 9-year-old could not do it on their own.

This was an easy and fun build. My kid has easily gotten it to do things, but probably because he uses similar apps/code at school. He really enjoys it. The only downside is that it doesn't always reconnect via Bluetooth on its own and he needs a little help with that. It's perfect for his age (11) and I'd buy again for my other kids.

We liked it. We assembled it with my children who are 6 and 5 years old. I helped a few items to assemble. Robot is already installed codes. At the beginning of using, you don't need to make it program. Remote Control is synchronized with the robot. A B C letter represents a different mode. A mode is manual control, b mode is I couldn’t find it because just movingly, c mode is follow the black line. It has website that supports to learn how to code or assemble. It doesn’t has battery that you will need to 4 AA battery for robot and 1 3.0 V flat battery for remote control. I think that battery code is cr2025. If you don’t want to go out for battery. You should write them on your shopping list before assemble. Because you will screw the main board top of the battery. It was great experience for my kids. I consider that I will start to teach coding with it to my kids. I hope that. Then when i saw the coding program, my hopes raised because it is so easy. My son wrote one code for it that I took picture.

Great gift for kid to learn mechanical

This was actually a lot better quality than I was expecting. The parts seem like they are well built. The metal chassis is sturdy and the holes are all aligned properly. The way the motors are attached isn’t perfect and they will likely come loose after awhile, but it will be easy to tighten them back up. My 7 year old son and I assembled the kit together in about an hour, with him doing most of the work. The instructions were fairly simple, although the pics showing where to put the screws were a little tough for my 7 year old to interpret on his own at first. Not a big deal, and he figured it out with some help. Older kids will probably find it easier, if they have experience following printed directions. There are not too many small parts, which i think makes this kit better than some others for younger kids. We just started playing with the programming and it seems to be pretty simple and works well on the ipad. My son is excited to try designing some new programs of his own for his robot to follow.

Good product

I bought this for my nephew for Christmas and it was by far the most successful gift. Both of his parents are engineers and so we got a lot of help building it. I don’t know how user-friendly it is for families without pros to assemble it but it’s worth the risk. The following Christmas I bought one of the add-ons and they were another big hit. Really impressed with the quality and ingenuity. If you’re looking for a good stem gift this is the one.
