I was slightly concerned that he would be overwhelmed since this is his first "screen" and he is on the younger end of the recommended age range. The result has been completely opposite...the story/game has him totally engaged and excited to see what he can make PiperBot do next. He is really proud that he built a computer himself and is quickly learning that details matter. As a parent I am enjoying watching him work so diligently as he is learning!
There is a need to read messages on the screen and several times he's needed some help to figure out a word (again, age 7). But, overall, it's been a great experience.

The problem then corrected itself once the Piper was hooked up to the Internet and able to update its software. My son had a great time filling the missions and doing the various projects. My son loves computers and video games and this helped him learn how computers and circuit boards work.
I emailed customer service back to let them know the problem had resolved itself and my son was now happily using his Piper. They closed the ticket and we forgot about this initial hiccup.
About a month later I received both a phone call and an email from a company executive assisting Piper's customer service, wanting to make sure the Piper was still working and that the initial problems had been resolved satisfactorally. I was very surprised by this followup and really appreciated that Piper stands behind their product in wanting to insure a positive customer experience.
