## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of fun!
*by S***N on March 31, 2021*

I am only halfway through this kit, but I'm really having a wonderful time! The assembly directions are somewhat complex but are totally doable. The bluetooth controls work pretty well, although my bluetooth connection seem to disconnect frequently. The operational programs all seem to work, they're quite amusing, and I'm looking forward to figuring out how to program the unit myself!!!! Overall, I'd say this is a great hands-on introduction to this subject! Very giftable!!! My only reservation is the price: I got it on sale, and I'm sure I'm not the first one to broach this subject. Otherwise, I'm very pleased!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A lot of fun
*by T***R on September 22, 2024*

Purchased this for a scout project. All the kids enjoyed using it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Customer Service!
*by D***6 on December 20, 2018*

We received this product last night and began to build it this morning. Within 30 minutes of playing with it, one of the two wheel motors failed, only one motor would work in both forward and reverse. We contacted the Thames & Kosmos customer service and described how we troubleshot the problem and how we came to the conclusion that the motor was indeed bad. I didn't think I would hear anything back from this company due to the holiday season, I was wrong. Within 60 minutes of posting on their site, we got a reply back from the manufacturer. They stated that they would send out a replacement motor to us at no charge, which is great. I was really impressed with their response time!My kids really love the product, and were able to change the position of the sensors to allow the robot to still use the sensors but in the reverse direction. It is not ideal, but at least they can play with it. The app that you use to program the robot is amazing, my kids were able quickly navigate the system and put their robot into action.Aside from the motor failing so quickly, I wish the robot could move a little quicker. We are using it on hardwood floors and it is still slow. We have used the Dash Robot system in the past, and this little guy is way quicker.Overall its a good product, we look forward to maximizing the potential of our new robot.
