This was my 8 yr old daughter's Christmas gift. It took a little over 8 hours to put together (us working with the app instructions over multiple days) The instructions on the app are great. We both were impressed with the 3D pictures that we could move around to make more sense. The only drawback was that whenever the app closed we had to find out place again in the instructions. In other words it didn't hold out place.
Once we finished assembling it she immediately took to operating it and having it dance around the room. She has shown it off to many guests. She is currently content to use the pre coded moves, but I am looking forward to her making her own moves with the codes.
If you do not pick it up just right it will fall apart, but goes back together pretty easily. My daughter drove it off a table by accident and was able to reassemble it without needing the instructions. Overall it was well worth the money spent.
i bought this for my little cousin, hes 8 years old. def this will keep him busy for few days. its not easy to build but its fun and challenging. so cool they re making robots that are affordable and fun!
Finally an innovative and educational product designed for girls! I bought two of these for my 10 and 12 year old nieces. Of course, unicorns are all the rage, so they loved the designed, but their parents love that this “toy” is more than a “toy”. Their girls are spending time learning to code with this interactive unicorn. The only downside is that the unicorn is only offered in one color; making it difficult for two little girls to tell their unicorns apart, at first... they have since customized with their own style!
I usually don’t write reviews but I just wanted to say this toy is amazing.
I bought this for my goddaughter’s birthday who has Autism. She is 9 years old and highly functioning. This robot was simple and at the same time challenging enough to stimulate her thinking (to build it by using the ipad and also programming it to do what she wanted it to do). It was the perfect gift for her and we all truly loved seeing her learn and interact with it. I highly recommend it for girls of all ages and learning capabilities!
I have to say that it is the coolest thing I have ever bought my twin girls age 10!
They loved the building aspect of the robot as there is an app that guides them so they could do it independently and it gave them a great sense of accomplishment.
And the coding of the robot was something they have never done or seen before and loved it. They even told their science and computer teacher about it.
I struggled before to get them interested in STEM, as I gotten them a STEM coding toy before, but they weren’t interested. Finally I feel like this has motivated them in a positive way towards building and coding. It would be an amazing holiday gift and something they can do over winter break.
