Makeblock mBot Ultimate 10 in 1 Robot Building Toys, Robotics Kit App Remote Control Robot Toys Compatible with Arduino C & Raspberry Pi, STEM Educational DIY Robotics for Kids Ages 12-16

This is the real deal! Assembly may require some adult assistance depending on the child’s age. This item worked as it should and all parts were included. The website support, answered all of our questions.This is just a fantastic product!

One of the best product for kids who are intrested in mechanical . Sturdy built quality is excellent pl do let me know is any higher version comes

Great product! Well-made components! Our 12-year-old son built a cool mbot the very next day!!!

Really love it and is very well madeThe manual is super detailedI think its a bit too expensive.I got it for $300 with a discount, that is the only way i could convince myself of buying it.

Note: I purchased this assuming there will be enough structural components to build 10 projects. I was fine with quick swap of motors, sensors and MegaPi across various builds. This is not the case, and this is an unfinished product.1. The printed manual describes how to build 3 robots, instead of 10.2. Once you build the first robot (arm), you do not parts to complete step 2 for second project in the manual ( bartender), or the third project ( camera dolly)3. As of Dec 26, 2020 - mLink2 v2.2.1 software does not work on MacOS 11.1 Big Sur. After installation and reboot, launching mLink2 and clicking on ‘create new’ block-based editor opens up Safari which asks you install mLink . Clicking on ‘Already installed’ opens up mLink2. It’s a loop I can’t get out of.4. Basic play application on iOS works functionally.5. Got it as a Christmas gift for primary schooler - if I am able to disassemble the first build, I’ll return it. It is falsely marketed as 10-in-1 kit.

The product as a starter is good for children and enthusiasts to build and they have many useful hardware modules and extensions. Seeing the community I was interested in buying.However regarding software, this is only good if you are experienced with Arduino IDE because you can have little more freedom than other high-level language APIs. The Python and NodeJS APIs, that this product advertise to support, are highly unstable, not fully baked, encoder motor APIs t don't work and the tech support straight away rejects any kind of help to work around their own bug. Their language is not rude, but to me the behavior is. If I would have known, I would have gone for a general Arduino board instead of MegaPi.

This is great for kids getting a hang of how stuff works under the hood. Few issues though which makes it frustrating to work with:1) the battery compartment can be made a lot better. It does not fit well and also there is no cover so the batteries keep poppoing as it is very loose in terms of that. On a similar note, We have made the camera doll uptill now and the battery compartment goes upside down , making it more vulnerable to fall down.2) the physical instructions are for only 3 out of 10 designs. It is a hassle specially with the kids to get the information printed or done online. It should be included as part of the product

Bought this for my son’s science fair project and it was great. The directions included were clear and easy to follow. The packaging kept everything in great shape for shipping. The only disappointing thing is that there are only written instructions for three of the robot designs. The instructions for the other designs are all animated videos at the company web site and were not as easy for him to follow along. It would be great if the company made them available as a downloadable pdf.
