Build-A-Bot Sounds - Kitten - Build Your Own Robotics Kit

Quality is terrible. Falls apart. Pieces that weren’t even supposed to come off just fell off and won’t stay on without glue. Doesn’t include batteries. Directions aren’t clear enough. I definitely regret this purchase. I’m only giving it two stars instead of one because it’s a clever idea (very poorly executed though) and my kid likes it. For the price, they really need to step up the quality.

The media could not be loaded. Really disappointing. For context, I'm an engineer. My five year old received this for Christmas.ASSEMBLY: The instructions are not clear: parts are numbered but in a way that makes Ikea look like genius. My kid followed along for the first half and then just wanted me to finish the other half. It was not clear when small pieces were mirrored in such a way that if you used the wrong one, you have to disassemble the whole thing to start over.ACTION: It springs into action two ways, either push the tail or class clap (twice?). The tail is reliable the clap is very much not so. I'm unclear if it's optimized for carpet or hard floor. The only action is that the back legs kick allowing it to slide forward ever so slightly.OVERALL: My kid was happy to see it doing something after the time commitment to assemble, but if it's too difficult for a 5 year old and won't be entertaining in the slightest to a 7 year old, what's your target audience? Either get a cute fluffy toy or buy something more advanced, this is a waste of money.
