Ensemble de robot Boting 2.0

I bought 4 of these robots for my K-2 graders to learn to code. Only 1 works the others just turn in circles. I have done all the trouble shooting with no luck. I could not get any customer service to help me.

Wow. At first we thought this was great! The kids loved it. Then, for no apparent reason, it stopped turning in one direction. I opened it up and found that a plastic gear (cheap plastic) had broken. So, I called the company. They had me send a lot of information, including a video. Finally, they said they would replace it if I sent them our original. So we did. And we heard nothing. I tried contacting the company multiple times in different ways with no success. It's been over a year, and we have no Botley. Extremely disappointed. For the money this cost, we got 2 months of use of it, a lot of hassle and then complete silence. I will never purchase an LR item again because I know the customer service is absolutely horrible if something goes wrong. We've had some LR items that were great, and others that were chintzy, but for this price, it should have been a much higher quality.

I spent a lot of money on this product to work 3times super bummer.

We bought this for my 4 year old for his birthday with the intention that he will grow and develop into the toy. We have been so impressed with it as he can turn Botley and the remote on and code him to make a train and a frog all by himself. It's brilliant that it has so many funny features as well like lights and dance mode which he can now do by himself. When Botley follows the line he loves the whistles and noises Botley makes while he is going along. We haven't tried out obstacle avoidance yet or playing with the balls and blocks which will come as he develops. A great toy and brings so much joy, we will be using this for many years.

If you are thinking of adding a Botley to your child's toy collection - you will not be disappointed! We were first introduced to Botley last year and bought the original one for our son's 6th birthday. He adored it, whilst he was able to make it complicated if he wanted too. Often he would use simple codes to create patterns, hours of fun have been spent setting up towers for Botley to crash into and knockdown! We noticed that Learning Resources were bringing out a Botley 2.0, to begin with, we were inquisitive surely no upgrades could be made to an already great product? Well, we were wrong! After seeing it on several social media pages, we knew the new features such as lights and sounds would be perfect for our son. Our Robot obsessed six-year-old was so eager to try it - plus Botley even works in the dark (How could we say no?) Botley 2.0 has not disappointed! Whilst many features are familiar to the Original Botley, users will immediately notice that the controller has additional buttons allowing for Botley to move at different angles (creating more sequences/coding opportunities). It also has an on/off switch on the controller - something that the original Botley lacked! Botley 2.0 also contains many secret codes, to allow him to transform into a character - They are so much fun and get all the family involved! We've enjoyed many hours of Police Botley - For us Dinosaur Botley is our favourite! Botley is so user friendly, with an excellent set of instructions included. There are no limits! Our six-year-old son has been so impressed with Botley 2.0 and even our nearly 3-year-old has been able to use Botley! Learning Resources have created a fantastic robot, which compliments the coding framework our local primary school follows. We cannot say enough great words about Botley 2.0!
