1.0 out of 5 stars What a rip-off, December 5, 2007

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Robot Kit: With Four Fantastic Easy-to-Build Robots (Paperback)
My 8 year old was looking forward to this gift, as he spotted it when it arrived in October and waited until tonight to open it. He's disappointed. I didn't realize it was just cardboard cut-outs with some blinking lights. It's not a robot, it's a cardboard toy that blinks and makes an annoying sound. He didn't even like the sound! I would not recommend and I'd like my money back.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Robot is a Heap, May 9, 2010
This review is from: The Robot Kit: With Four Fantastic Easy-to-Build Robots (Paperback)
My seven year old received the the Robot Kit as a birthday gift. The box indicated that the robot can protect and alert intruders. We were all so excited to open the box and put together our robot friend together. I must say that this is NOT made for a 7 year old to assemble. It took an Architect and an 8th grader a half hour to assemble the cardboard pieces. Once we finally got the robot together we connect the battery and all this did was make a terribly annoying noise. This toy is does nothing as it describes on the box. We are disappointed. I giving it one star because the accompanying 32 page book has some Ok info.

1.0 out of 5 stars Crappy, February 23, 2010

This review is from: The Robot Kit: With Four Fantastic Easy-to-Build Robots (Paperback)
We bought the robot kit for our son and as the other reviews indicate the robots are paper cut outs with a box that blinks lights and makes an annoying buzzing noise. The instructions say the robot should detect 'intruders' but we could not turn the robot off - all lights and buzzing. We expected an elementary kit but this was below our expectations and not worth the money.
