Learning Resources Botley 2.0 The Coding Robot

Stopped working after only a few uses. Was excited that there was this new version with all the added features! Well, it's seriously deceiving as it now won't work. It's a lot of money for a toy that can't be used, and I don't have a lot of it (money)... I wouldn't buy again nor recommend, sadly! It could have been a really nice toy and learning tool! :(

Christmas gift for my 6 year old. After 3 days it has stopped working and beeps repeatedly. Super disappointing.

We got it out and went to program it but it will not move. Also completely drains the battery in minutes.

Botley worked well for a bit but not now. Botley does not receive the sent code and is consistently displaying a blue light, makes a sound like an engine spluttering followed by multiple beeps.

Botley doesnt take more than 5-6 of commands, then stops. Tried adding more, still stops. Functions work, but with so limited programming it's terrible. Especially as gift for a small one.

It was fun playing for a while. Botley robot is however not responding after we change batteries. It dies not light up when codes are transmitted, it does not move along the black line. The lights only lit up when we move the wheels.

I would not recommend this product. The idea is great however the product quality leaves much to be desired. Our botley lasted only 3 days before the product stopped working. The remote no longer pairs with the botley and there is no way to reset or troubleshoot it. Lot of people seem to have this issue and there is no resolution. The robot can no longer be programmed/controlled via the remote even though both devices have new batteries and lights and sounds turn on. For the price, this is definitely not worth it given the reliability issues and lack of support.

This was a great toy for a few days. Thought provoking and exciting for all to play with. We were very careful with Botley but after a short period Botley only turns in circles. Pretty disappointing.

Was a lot of fun...until botley has decided to only spin one wheel constantly and no longer responds to directions. Lasted only a few months. When I sent a message to company 12 months ago I received no response. Sadly I think botley is going to be heading to the dump...

This was great for my five year old ...for about six months. Once the robot and remote stopped communicating, we replaced all batteries -- but no luck. Remote & robot both light up / sound, but no longer communicate to one another. We've scoured the internet for troubleshooting. What a disappointment!
