2.0 out of 5 stars
Terrible instructions make this a poor choice for kids,
By Sera Lewis (Apex, NC) - See all my reviews
= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tree of Knowledge Robotics Science Kit (Toy)
The instructions provided with this kit show pictures that don't match to what's provided. The circuit board won't connect to the chassis, and there are only general instructions for one robot -- not details for each of the three. After my 12YO spent a few frustrated hours trying to figure out what to do, we got my brother (a mechanical engineer) to come over and help us put this together.
The robot works great once you throw the instructions away and get an engineer to help you assemble it. The buzzer is still maddening, though.

motor too weak to make the wheels run,
By Hugh John (Albany, NY) - See all my reviews
= Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars = Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars = Educational:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: Tree of Knowledge Robotics Science Kit (Toy)
the sensors buzzed and worked great,but the bugs/robots wouldn't run -- it turned out that the motor was too weak to make the wheels run - yes, the motor would turn, but once it's attached to the wheels, it stopped -- and even when we managed to get the wheels turn, it failed to run on hardwood floor -- and we did use new batteries -- it appeared that it needed a more powerful motor -- at the end of the day, this is a "robot" that can't move

This review is from: Tree of Knowledge Robotics Science Kit (Toy)
Yes, you can build 3 robots wit this kit. However they use a common chassis so you can only have 1 running at a time. The description and the photo would lead you to believe otherwise. The instructions are poor at best. The kit comes with 3 circuit boards each with a different behavior. There is nothing in the instructions to explain the differences or offer any explanations for how they work.
The actual building of the robot is very limited, so the educational aspect is pretty much limited to figuring out what the behavior of each control board is. My kids got board with the limited interaction in about 10 minutes. This product does not get my recommendation.
