3.0 out of 5 stars Fun to build - could work better, January 6, 2007

The directions were generally clear (until the end) and my 8 year old had fun putting it together with a little guidance and help tightening the screws (they were a bit hard). At first, it wouldn't walk, and we discovered that the arms were a problem. The picture showed the shoulder joints going back, but they really needed to face the front. Once we fixed it, the robot would walk fine, but the sound portion didn't work well. It will come on sporadically, not consistently.

The best part was the building - it's a little boring to operate.

This item was fun for my daughter to build with her grandpa, but after it was built the fun was over. It doesn't do much except sit on the shelf and take up space. I told her to take it apart again and redo it. That might be fun once, but after that it will probably go to the Thrift Shop.

My son and I thoroughly enjoyed assembling and learning about how robots work. This kit may be frustrating for one adult or child to assemble. The screws require more 'adult strength' (he would start them and I would finish) and some of the instructions might need at least 3 hands to hold and assemble. But hey, that is why it was so enjoyable - we did it together! It is fun now to watch him play with it and tell everyone 'my Dad and I built this'!
