Dr. STEM Toys Innobot Coding Robot Toy | Robotics Science Kit for Kids Ages 8 & Up | Bluetooth Enabled, Easy to Build & Program, Performs Multiple Stunts & Chores | Kids Learn Coding as They Play

Es un excelente regalo para un niño, independientemente de la edad ya que les ayuda a desarrollar el pensamiento lógico y secuencial que se usa en la programación. En mi caso fué para una nena de 6 años que obviamente no podía armar el robot desde cero pero sí programarlo y ahora lo usa a diario. Algo que criticaría es que quizás debería venir con baterías recargables ya que usa 4 pilas AA y las agota rápidamente lo cual es un problema tanto económico como ecológico.

I purchased this for my kiddo for Christmas. It was the number 1 things he wanted. After the first build we quickly discovered that the Bluetooth function was not working at all. I tried it on several different smart devices (i-pad and 2 i-phones) and it wouldn’t even produce a signal. I returned the 1st robot and reordered another one. Even after building a new robot a second time the Bluetooth function is (again) not working. It will not connect to any smart device meaning the robot can only function with its preset controls on the back of the unit. The 2nd time I built the robot there were additional manufacturing/quality issues with the parts. The speaker wires were stripped of their connection hardware and one of the screw locations closing the body wasn’t machined completely through so I couldn’t screw it together. After an extensive search there seems to be no product support whatsoever. Don’t waste your time and money. Very disappointing.

Hay que armar el robot, pero un niño de 5 años con un adulto lo pueden hacer sin ningún problema. Ambos están aprendiendo como usar el robot y se divierten en el camino.

It dies after 2nd use. I have to keep buying batteries. Now it lives under my son’s bed.

Fun robot but assembly took longer than expected and was a little frustrating at times. It took over 2 hours to put it together due to many redos that could have been avoided with clearer instructions. For example: 1. When you install the two motors, make sure the pin on the motor faces out towards the wheel! 2. Handle the battery connection very carefully. Ours quickly broke off on both the positive and negative terminals (metal spring piece) and we had to solder them back! 3. Tuck the wires under the robot arm. Otherwise they will be in the way when you try to close the two halves. 4. Something shorted out the battery compartment the first time we inserted the 4 AA batteries (not included) and the compartment was heating up. We realized this and removed the batteries before the heat made permanent damage. We waited until it cooled down and tried again with new set of batteries and it worked out that time with no heating issue. 5. The small wheel kept falling off every time we tried to close the two halves. You have to pay attention to it. We ended up installing with one half flat on the floor to keep it from falling off. 6. It took some thinking to figure out where the wheels go and how the control pad and screen slip in. 7. If you do everything correctly, the two halves will close with minimal force. If you have to use a lot of force, stop and recheck as something is out of place. Once it’s installed, it was fun to see the robot working. The next step is to program it. There is another guide in the package to show you how.

For all that this product does, I am amazed at the price. My nephew had a great time building and using this little robot. He has great strength for such a small robot. And the fact that my nephew got to build and program this all by himself helped build his confidence. I recommend this for any boy or girl in your life that needs a boost of confidence and is interested in robotics. So much fun!

Comes with all the pieces that has to be assembled. My 8 year old son loves putting it together. He did most of it by himself with me sitting there watching. He didn’t get to finish it so I’ll update when he does.

Worked great for about 1 day, and then the claw part stopped working and no longer opened or closed. The other features are cool, but without the main claw-grabber, it doesn't actually do much of anything, just plays music and moves back and forth, which is not what we were looking for.
