Got this for our 13 year old son for Christmas. He tore
right into it and had many hours of fun. There are LOTS of
little paper pieces all over my house now. I was thinking
when I bought it that it would be more about building the
"guts" of the robot... the wires and wheels, and such. However
it was more about the facade. He did enjoy it, and is
anxious to try more complex kits and designs.

Wow, I was so hugely disappointed in this, I don't know where to begin. It is not a robot at all. It is a remote control car that you place a little taped together carboard piece on top of. You punch out the cardboard, tape it up (the tape doesn't hold, so we hot glued and it still didn't hold)and stick it on top of a premade remote control car. It has nothing to do with building a robot. It's more like folding a paper airplane. It was a joke! My son has just finished an electronics kit and wanted to move onto building a robot. I didn't think it was going to be a real live walking and talking robot - but I thought he'd learning something about putting a robot together. Not true. I would not recommend this to anyone - unless you're looking for a remote control car (and in that case spend your money on a better one somewhere else). My son was so excited about building a robot and was completely disappointed by this set. Don't waste your money!
