Botley, le robot de codage

Awesome

Great idea, terribly disappointing quality that renders the great idea useless - it veers to one side, strongly, so that whatever you program it to do doesn't translate. Will be trying to return to store.

Unfortunately this product consistently produces errors and malfunctions.

We enjoyed Botley for a few months until it began veering & continuously spinning left. We've tried turning off/on, replacing batteries, but it doesn't respond to commands anymore.

What is not to like about this robot . It's a durable little guy that just keeps on going . Let me preface this buy saying that it's meant for younger kids so if you are buying this for a teen they probably won't be the age range for this HOWEVER my oldest son is 11 and is used to the lego mindstorm EVE 3 systems and he was impressed that for a robot geared towards youth that it has similar input and controls so it definitely helps younger kids with having the basic knowledge for more complex robots. Which I like because it's not just a button pushing toy but a learning tool. My 11 and 9 year olds were able to set the robot up for their younger brother and sister with ease . So the instructions were clear enough for children to even use it. Their 6 yr old brother which the robot was for figured out the controls fairly easily but needed a little help at first. My 3 yr old just pressed the buttons but still it beeps and moves so it was fun for her but I wouldn't let them use it just it was nice to see it took the abuse of a toddler and still kept trucking .
