It is probably more difficult than a standard 8 ear old could easily put together. Some parts have to be assembled precisely correct otherwise it will not work at all. I used a sharp knife to remove the moulding burrs which probably isn't suitable for a younger child. For it's price and complexity it is a very well designed and manufactured product but it is still made of relatively flimsy plastic and if you drop it or squash it, then it will break and I doubt it will be repairable. It walks on any relatively smooth flat surface (carpets are a struggle) in the direction the head is facing, which rotates through 360 degrees. It operates autonomously in either a back away from objects mode or a follow objects mode. It does not come with any form of hand held controller. The assembling is the main entertainment of this product as once assembled and played with once, there is not much more you can do. I have replaced the existing controller with another that I can reprogramme. Overall I think it is brilliant but anyone without a specific interest in robotics might find it a bit limited. Review: An excellent and interesting little learning toy for kids - This was a lot of fun to put together for my son (10). he enjoyed the whole process of building something, and making it work. I've recommended it a few times to other friends, and they've been similarly impressed. It's a sturdy little unit, works better on some surfaces than others and it kept him well entertained. I think if it was for much younger kids then there's not enough variety in what it does once built to keep them entertained, but I would recommend. This was for my 10 year old son, and he found it just right in challenge and in terms of build process. ## Features - Warning:This toy does not provide protection - 114 Piece DIY Self Guiding Robot Injection Moulded STEM Construction Project & Experimentation Kit - Made from Durable ABS and PP Plastic with Metal Screws and Springs that Clip and Screws Together - Battery Powered AI Guidance System that Uses Input from IR Sensors to Guide Tobbie Round Obstacles - Tobbie Can be Set to Sensor Seeking "Follow Me" Mode or to Object Avoiding "Explore the World" Mode - Tobbie Measures Around 16 cm by 13 cm by 12 cm when Fully Constructed | Recommended for Ages 10+ - Requires 4 x AAA Batteries (Not Included) | Takes Around 2.5 Hours to Create | Requires Some Basic Tools ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CZG6NC3 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Age range (description) | Baby | | Battery Description | AAA | | Best Sellers Rank | 6,048 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 65 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand | CONSTRUCT & CREATE | | Brand Name | CONSTRUCT & CREATE | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,342 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Encourage STEM education and skills | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060512150513 | | Included Components | 71511 | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 16 x 13 x 12 centimetres | | Item Type Name | 5060512150513 | | Item Weight | 335 Grams | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 16 x 13 x 12 centimetres | | Item weight | 335 Grams | | Manufacturer | The Source Wholesale Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | 71511 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year | | Material Type | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Polypropylene, Steel | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 96 | | Model Number | 71511 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | Tobbie The Robot | | Size | One Size | | Theme | Robot | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Baby - **Brand:** CONSTRUCT & CREATE - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16 x 13 x 12 centimetres - **Size:** One Size - **Theme:** Robot ## Images ![CONSTRUCT & CREATE Tobbie the Self-Guiding AI Robot Build Your Own DIY STEM Kit - Robotic Toy for Children from 8 Years | 6-legged self-guiding robot, IR obstacle avoidance, Follow-Me mode, LED eyes, sounds, ages 10+, 16x13x12 cm, 4x AAA batteries - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HX-YoUGRL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What age range is Tobbie the Robot suitable for?** A: Tobbie is recommended for ages 8 and up, but is equally suitable for older kids and adults. Some children may find parts difficult to cut and construct and adult help may be of assistance here. **Q: Do I need any additional tools or is everything in the box?** A: We recommend a few additional tools to help with the construction of Tobbie - diagonal cutters, precision posi screwdriver and 3 AAA batteries. **Q: What functions does Tobbie have?** A: Tobbie has two main modes: "Follow Me," where he follows objects or people, and "Explore," where he navigates around obstacles independently. **Q: Can Tobbie be reprogrammed or customised?** A: Sorry, Tobbie isn’t programmable but has the built-in modes above that offer interactive play and a basic introduction to robotics. **Q: What STEM areas does Tobbie help children learn about?** A: Tobbie introduces kids to foundational concepts in robotics, engineering, and problem-solving. By assembling and interacting with Tobbie, children develop hands-on skills in design, logic, and spatial awareness, making it an ideal STEM learning tool. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Fun *by D***E on 18 February 2019* I found this a really good fun thing to build and it works surprisingly well.

I've recommended it a few times to other friends, and they've been similarly impressed. It's a sturdy little unit, works better on some surfaces than others and it kept him well entertained.

While the end result is great, I would suggest not buying this for a younger child. The quality of the parts is great, overall very solid and comes with clear instructions. This is a noisy toy, as in, the gears make noise when it's walking around, but it is also not intended to be used on a daily basis. It's very interactive and the joy of it is piecing it together. ## Frequently Bought Together - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Tobbie the Self-Guiding AI Robot Build Your Own DIY STEM Kit - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Hydraulic Cyborg Hand DIY STEM Build Your Own Project Kit Set - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Hydraulic Robot Arm DIY STEM Build Your Own Project Kit Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65683401-construct-and-create-tobbie-the-self-guiding-ai-robot-build](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/65683401-construct-and-create-tobbie-the-self-guiding-ai-robot-build) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
