  • High quality kit! Fun to build! Don't be swayed ... get it, commit to it, and you'll have a blast!
Just for some perspective, as a child I built radio control cars and I currently do a little programming at my place of employment so this was something I believed that I would enjoy ... and boy I was right. Over the holiday break, I cleared off our kitchen table and went to work. My first impression was that this kit was packaged well and the pieces seemed to be of a quality higher than I expected since it's price was reasonable. I downloaded the instructions and programming. After review, I also ordered a raspberrry pi 4, memory card, hdmi cable adapter for the pi, and made sure to purchase the recommended special batteries that are mentioned in the instructions. I didn't want to mess around as others who complained about charging or other power issues because they wanted to use batteries that came in their $10 fleabay flashlight. The instructions are great. I learned about installing the operating system on the pi which was cool and will come in handy for future projects. I needed a usb mouse, keyboard, and hdmi computer monitor to get the pi setup. I just used my iphone charger to power the pi. As far as building the dog itself, please note that some of the pieces are very small but just take your time and you'll be fine. The kit included a few extra pieces with I appreciated. I felt a great amount of satisfaction once I actually powered it up for the first time. The software did crash once but a quick reboot fixed that. It doesn't go on carpet. I cannot recommend this kit enough and I hope I can find others who have this so we can share ideas! Five Stars! ... show more

  • Fun and Challenging
This was a gift and it was I while before I collected all of the required additional components--FAR more than the bare Raspberry Pi I received with it. If you haven't used a Raspberry Pi previously you will likely need an appropriate power supply, a micro-SD card and micro HDMI to HDMI cable/adapter. Initial setup of both the Raspberry Pi and its interface with your controlling device(s) is much easier when you connect monitor, keyboard and mouse Raspberry. You will also need lithium ion batteries and charger in a size (18650 with or w/o "button top") that has almost no chance of local availability. The dog is VERY finicky about surface! Pile carpet = impossible. Ceramic tile = fair to poor depending upon the width and depth of the grout lines. Hardwood = fair to good. Laminate = poor to fair. Vinyl/asphalt = good to excellent. Smooth concrete (basement/garage) = excellent. Rough concrete = excellent but certain to damage the little "teeth" in the hard acrylic feet that provide the friction/grip. Smooth, unfinished plywood = perfect. While this kit certainly serves as a fair introduction to robotics and especially robotic control (as in the actual programming of such and not just supplied "tricks" and basic operation) only an extremely precocious youth below their mid teens is likely in my estimation to successfully assemble and operate the kit without considerable assistance. I found the protective adhesive paper on both sides of the acrylic body pieces very difficult to remove--impossible for me start with my fingernails and surprisingly difficult with the common x-acto blade that typically works very well in such applications. The acrylic is obviously laser cut so perhaps such makes the edges particularly difficult to "start." STUDY THE INSTRUCTIONS WELL!!!! There are three separate tasks--hardware preparation, software installation/setup in both the host (controller) and client (robot dog) and assembly of the robot itself. You will work at these three tasks simultaneously at times. Assembly instruction for the physical robot and its hardware are based almost purely on a sequence of illustrations. I've worked with such instructions many times. These are easily in the bottom third of quality. I made a few assembly errors one of which required significant disassembly. The problem as I saw it was not related to the complexity of the construction but the lack of clarity in the illustrations to include the full scope of a single step and proper orientation of some pieces. The three-conductor ribbon cable serving the LED light module on mine had a reversed connector on one end. I noticed the problem during assembly as the wire colors did not match the illustration at one end. I didn't know if it was a problem with the instructions or the cable until testing when the LED module proved dead. I wrote the email address in the instructions to have a reply the next morning. I was given instruction on how to remove the conductors from the connector but unfortunately a solder burr on one of them damaged the connector during disassembly as it was "stuck" compared to the rest. I again wrote to have a reply the next morning that a new cable was being shipped. It came from China as I suspected and took about two weeks. Otherwise the general quality of the materials seems good for something of this nature--a slightly glorified toy. The surprisingly short safe running time of three minutes doesn't say much for the durability of the servos but the "next step" in still "toy" robot quality involves a pretty much exponential increase of price. Nearly everything assembles with tiny bolts and nuts provided in somewhat excess quantity. While highly dexterous my fingers are very large yet I had no undue problem with the tiny hardware. The seemingly far too long bolts used in some places are so long to make them reasonably easy to access. Many of the pieces have tiny ridges to aid in positioning nuts making it reasonably easy to install particularly difficult connection with the bolt beneath. Even with nothing to hold down the tiny nut but gravity and not perfectly upside-down you can thread the bolt through it with far less frustration than you may imagine. This construction means that you can easily and repeatedly assemble and disassemble the robot without damage. An important exception to this construction are gears that attach to the servo pinions. Made of white nylon like the pinions and all the rest of the gears, they attach with sheet metal type screws. These gears take a LOT of pressure to push onto the pinions yet the servos feel rather flimsy and not able to take the pressure. The gear is often installed after the servo with things so positioned to make it even more difficult to press the gear onto the pinion without forcing and almost certainly damaging something. The mounting screw will fully seat the gear--the first time you assemble. Do not expect the same degree of such "pull down power" should you need to reassemble! One of mine is perilously close to becoming a full-blown "spinner" with little or no holding power. ... show more

  • beautiful toy - top quality support
Building and running this Robot Dog Kit was a very fun and educational experience. We assembled it together my 11 year old granddaughter and myself, following the instructions of the very well written manual. The assembly is no more complicated than the assembly of any model and was performed almost completely by my granddaughter while I intervened in the programming step, also within the reach of anyone who can follow installation instructions and write commands to the terminal. I recommend not to rush and follow the instructions step by step; skipping a step or performing it improperly can prevent the robot from working. It happened to us a couple of times and, as indicated in the tutorial, we wrote to the company. We got really top notch support, they always answered kindly and practically in real time (but consider the time difference). Don't hesitate to write to them if you run into a problem. The kit we received was of excellent quality, with the gears of the stepping motors made of metal and not plastic. Some of the screws are very small indeed, but if you drop one on the ground you don't have to worry too much: the kit generously includes many spare screws and small mechanical components. Excellent ! Peppe Cirotti - Costa Rica ... show more

  • Great idea But poor construction
Interesting idea. Software actually loaded well. But the build is very weak. No solid feet and the way the plastic connects to the servos is a weak point and after walking a few feet will damage the build. When I walks it is too stressful on the servo connect points. Just not fun to play with it for fear of it popping a leg off or cracking the weak stress points Not worth the money and very poor design. You’d be better off with a robot made out of paper ... show more
