Review: Equipo defectuoso - Mal servicio no prende lo voy a devolver Review: Exactly as advertised - If you’re in the market for something like this, you already know what you’re getting. Your question is thus “did it work?” Yes - it was exactly as advertised, the price was solid, and it’s entirely functional. It was a bit smaller than expected (I was thinking it would be the size of an Xbox controller), but it’s for my 12yo so it’s fine. This is not a toy, it is a tool. If you do not have the background to teach your child how to use it, unless they’re exceptionally bright (and already have associated tools) it will not be useful. Since it is set up as a toy I’m saying it’s appropriate for 7 and below, however, this assumes a child advanced enough to program and patient enough to be interested. Do not get this as an unsolicited present. ## Features - Translucent Acrylic: The microbe gallery features a transparent acrylic material with a circular arc design, making it feel better.
