Customer Reviews
Purchased these for my Girl Scout troops and they loved them. Easy for the young Daisy's to assemble and they enjoyed personalizing them.
I did this with Kindergarten through 3rd grade. The kids loved the ability to make them into what ever creature or person they wanted. Everything was in the kit. I did add google eyes to them. All that was needed was coloring makers, pencils, or crayons. For Kindergarten and 1st grades I did stick down the motor for them, but they did everything else. For putting the body on the cup I told them to have the body oriented so it made a smile (ends curved up) not a frownie face.
The kit contained high quality materials, and the bots were easy to assemble. My students loved them!
Great product!! Easy to follow instructions, everything needed was included except the batteries!! My Girl Scout troop enjoyed doing these as part of their robotics badge.
We had a problem with the first order, but the owner was very responsive and quickly solved the issue for us! It’s a fun activity and this is the type of company I like to do business with!
Thank you for the feedback. I'm so sorry to hear that the motors wires came out! They aren't supposed to do that :(. We are sending you another set priority and will add some extra reinforcements just to make sure. As a small business we take these things seriously. So sorry again for the issue! Best, Edward
