We had a fantastic experience building the ELEGOO robot car kit. The directions were clear, straightforward, and very easy to follow — at no point did we get stuck or confused during assembly. There are many small components included, and while some pieces come with spares and others do not, everything was well organized and fit together smoothly. The build process was actually part of the fun and made it a great hands-on learning experience. Once assembled, the robot performs really well. The controls are responsive whether using the remote or the mobile app, and both options work reliably. Watching it drive around and avoid obstacles is incredibly satisfying! Overall, this is a fun, well-designed kit that’s perfect for beginners and a great educational project for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended!

This kit is really great. I purchased this for my 8 year old grandson. He was able to put together without supervision. The step by step instructions were great. You can use your phone or the included remote that came with the product. He played with it a few time but has it on display to preserve it i guess. But he does take it out from time to time and play with it. Money well spent.

This Smart Robot was my introduction to Elegoo products and the experience has made me a diehard fan of Elegoo. I bought this for my 9 year old son as a gift for the holidays. This was my attempt to give him gifts would peak his interest enough to get him away from all the games and electric devices and this did the trick. At first when I first opened it I wondered if it was to much for him to assemble but boy was I worng. He enjoyed every moment of it and has not stopped using it. Its so much fun that everyone in the house is enjoying it. It was designed and packaged so well and the instuctions were very easy to follow. Love the care they took and the packaging was neat and well organized. In its default state its packed with features but the intro to Arduino IDE increases its value immensely making it possible to add more components, features and functionality. This has already paid for itself times over and its value for money is undeniable!!

The kit is fine and my 11 year old had no trouble putting it together. I'm glad it doesn't require a phone app to function, except for the camera. The big problem is that although it's powered by an Arduino, there is NO programming required. The code that runs this can't even be downloaded from the Arduino board into the IDE. I was looking for a programming + building project, not a building project that already had all the hard work of coding handled by someone else.

Great beginner kit with clear instructions. I thought parts were high quality for the price point. Would be even better if the instructions gave information about the components as you are installing them to educate the student as they build the car. IE: the line following component works by ... ... One area for improvement is the controls aren't perfect and the device is a bit challenging to control as a remote control, but since our goal was to understand the electeonic components this is five stars for us.

Assembly was straight forward. Software use {programming) is much more complicated. Some extra small parts were provided. Screwdrivers were provided but no wrenches or nut drivers. Must be able to handle 1.6 mm nuts and bolts. That's the trickiest party of assembly.

SUPER fun kit. Quite easy to assemble if you're are an experienced model builder. If you're new, just make sure to lay out the parts needed for each step, and take your time. IMHO, they need to have a "parts kit" page that shows what pieces/sizes are in each bag, to make it easier to find for each step. The small parts bags are labelled for each section, but I found that you need to cross-over to other bags in some steps. Lots of devices for a "beginner" kit. It includes 4 separately controlled motors for the wheels, a camera, ultrasonic sensor, line-following sensor. There is a servo on the camera/sonic "face" so you can turn it. A few extra parts are included for further experimentation. Works great after assembly, using just the remote. It's pre-loaded with the code that it needs, so there is no programming necessary for it's basic uses. The IOS app is easy to connect and use. Looking forward to programming this beast.

Good for kids

The base/top plates are sturdy, even though they are plastic. Instructions are clear enough to understand and assemble. The UNO comes pre-programmed. So once you assemble it, you can start using it like a toy. App control is seamless. All default functions work well. I haven't figured out yet how to customize the programming, for example, do various other computer vision tasks.

Excelente juguete didáctica y aun lo que “nos falta”. Aprender…

Very nice
