Makeblock mBot Ultimate 10 in 1 Robot Building Kit for Teenagers & Adults

Really love it and is very well made The manual is super detailed I think its a bit too expensive. I got it for $300 with a discount, that is the only way i could convince myself of buying it.

It’s expensive, but you are getting what you pay for. Very high quality from components to instructions. Spent 4 great hours with my son with autism building the robot arm tank, which says a lot. Definitely recommend

This is the real deal! Assembly may require some adult assistance depending on the child’s age. This item worked as it should and all parts were included. The website support, answered all of our questions. This is just a fantastic product!

Great product! Well-made components! Our 12-year-old son built a cool mbot the very next day!!!

This is great for kids getting a hang of how stuff works under the hood. Few issues though which makes it frustrating to work with: 1) the battery compartment can be made a lot better. It does not fit well and also there is no cover so the batteries keep poppoing as it is very loose in terms of that. On a similar note, We have made the camera doll uptill now and the battery compartment goes upside down , making it more vulnerable to fall down. 2) the physical instructions are for only 3 out of 10 designs. It is a hassle specially with the kids to get the information printed or done online. It should be included as part of the product

Note: I purchased this assuming there will be enough structural components to build 10 projects. I was fine with quick swap of motors, sensors and MegaPi across various builds. This is not the case, and this is an unfinished product. 1. The printed manual describes how to build 3 robots, instead of 10. 2. Once you build the first robot (arm), you do not parts to complete step 2 for second project in the manual ( bartender), or the third project ( camera dolly) 3. As of Dec 26, 2020 - mLink2 v2.2.1 software does not work on MacOS 11.1 Big Sur. After installation and reboot, launching mLink2 and clicking on ‘create new’ block-based editor opens up Safari which asks you install mLink . Clicking on ‘Already installed’ opens up mLink2. It’s a loop I can’t get out of. 4. Basic play application on iOS works functionally. 5. Got it as a Christmas gift for primary schooler - if I am able to disassemble the first build, I’ll return it. It is falsely marketed as 10-in-1 kit.

If you want to get started in DIY robotics/automation, this is a good choice. The manufacturer went to great lengths to make things easy to use for beginners. You can build the 10 robots, and, using the app, they are easy to control. Once you feel more comfortable with the HW, you can look at programming the controller directly. All-in-all, this is a quality kit, and I am glad I bought it.

The product as a starter is good for children and enthusiasts to build and they have many useful hardware modules and extensions. Seeing the community I was interested in buying. However regarding software, this is only good if you are experienced with Arduino IDE because you can have little more freedom than other high-level language APIs. The Python and NodeJS APIs, that this product advertise to support, are highly unstable, not fully baked, encoder motor APIs t don't work and the tech support straight away rejects any kind of help to work around their own bug. Their language is not rude, but to me the behavior is. If I would have known, I would have gone for a general Arduino board instead of MegaPi.
