BUDDLETS-Bot Robot Toy Kit for Kids Ages 8-12 - STEM Coding Robotic Toy Car for Beginners - Engineering DIY Building Kit with Voice, Coding & App Controlled Robot (Black)

I spent an afternoon with my 6 and 7-year old assembling this robot! They had to read the instructions and put this very practically designed kit together. Once assembled, the wifi connection was instant and the robot started to follow commands! It confuses right and left, but that’s an amusing challenge! The coding interface is very simple and intuitive and the voice commands work beautifully. Great product at a reasonable price, I will keep an eye out for more!

My son is enjoying making and programming his robot toy. It is easy to assemble and not much needed to do this. He is having hours of fun with his robot.

Bought for my 10 year old son, he put it together without any issues, the instructions were clear and concise. He needed help tightening the little screws holding the circuit board on but that was it. The app was easy to download and after help from customer support we were up and running. A good introduction to building and coding, nice to have an actual robot in front of him and not one on a screen (although you need a phone and app to use it) overall fun, nifty little robot. Great as an introduction 👍

I bought it as a gift for my nephew. He absolutely loved it.it had clear instructions and was not that difficult for him to assemble. he is 9years old. It is a nice introduction to programming and robotics. Would highly recommend at the price.

I bought this just to test a build idea I have. Construction was a little difficult for me, perhaps it's my big thumbs but a few pieces I had trouble putting together, but that said building and overcoming obstacles made it more fun ( for me) once built connecting to the app was simple as was using the app. I did hope for a little more power but it may just be my batteries are low. Great item all in all and as a stepping stone into simple coding for me it works.

The buddlets-bot is advertised as being compatible with android. I have a Samsung Galaxy S23, brand new, latest OS, all the latest updates installed. The S23 was released in Feb 2023, so you can't get any newer, really. It's a top-quality modern phone, not some 15-year-old piece of junk. But I get the error message "this phone isn't compatible with this app" - yet it tells me that it IS compatible with the S9 that is still registered on my google account, but which I sold several years ago because it is old tech. What the hell, Buddlets? Your app only runs on legacy phones? Seriously? Furthermore, you offer no indication that the app is not compatible with newer phones, which suggests it's something you're hiding, or worse, you're not aware of it. I would happily drop-kick the damn robot down the garden, only I will be sending it back and you will be giving me a refund. I myself am a software engineer and you know as well as I do that letting software fall behind hardware is the best road to hell in a handcart.

Purchased this as a Christmas gift for a Nephew who has had great pleasure with this gift. He is 8, and has not had any difficulties in using this gift due to the clear instructions provided with the kit. Highly recommended.

This kit was reasonably fun to put together, wasn't too complex....definitely more suited to the 8-10 range I would say.Build quality is ok. Once working it doesn't exactly move very fast and some kids will get bored easily. I strapped a light to it so it was more fun to drive around on the dark.The biggest downside is it wouldn't work with either my Galaxy S23 Ultra or my daughter's Huawei P30 Pro. The latter is years old...it just doesn't seem to work with any modern Android phones I don't think.The app is pretty cheap looking too....we finally managed to get it working on my wife's iPhone 15.
