This robot was easy to build, my son enjoyed it. The battery life is pretty fair. But it moves around amazingly and definitely for the price of it I would recommend this one. Only issue we are having is one track keeps coming off but other than that it’s more then expected.

My 11 year old son really enjoy playing this robot.

I bought this for my son to help rekindle an interest in working with his hands and building things (public schools teach this out of them). He managed to put it together, but almost immediately, the tracks started coming off. If you look closely, the wheel assemblies cannot handle the tension and bend inward. Not sure if this can even be fixed.I have not even tried to fire the water beads. After it arrived, I started thinking about how messy this could get and that this would definitely need to be used outside, IF you have a place to do it.In addition, the controller is all or nothing. There is no way to ease off for fine tuning the direction of the turret. I actually purchased two of these, thinking my son and I could compete against each other, similar to the old Atari Combat game. Well, after playing around with the first one, I decided not to even take the other one out of the box. I also purchased the one with the grabber arm, but since it has the tread, I am also returning it.The pros are that the components are well-made and everything fits together well. If they can fix the sensitivity on the controller and the track issue, I'd buy it in a HEARTBEAT!

Does not move back an forwardI think foun tue cause, now works better

I'd like to say it works great but after getting it all together, the tracks just won't move it. I can prop the tracks off the ground, and it works well, but as soon as I put it on the floor it won't move. I checked for clearances, and nothing is rubbing anywhere. I disassembled it and lubricated all the wheels and finally got it to move forward and back, but it just won't turn. Again, everything works fine propped up. Other than that, it looks great, and assembly was easy, though the type in the instructions could be bigger. And it came with rubber tracks instead of the plastic ones they usually come with. I'll have to dig more into it to see what is going on with the motors though.

the instructions suck but if you pay close attention to the pictures it is manageable. I am mechanical inclined so that helped. I love doing these types of projects with my kids for us it is more about the build than playing with it long term. My son played with it for 2 days and the tracks started to fall off but we still liked.

As others said, the tracks fall off very quick, it is a design error. Also, the quality check is very bad since the kit came with one of the motors binding, not pulling the same as the other three (it is not the controller).This initially looks like a great kit for father/son project, but after the lousy execution my kid is not very enthusiast anymore. The chassis is all metal and may be good to hold 4 continuous rotation servos and maybe try the fix as a new project. Finally, I don't recommend buying it.

Don’t push the wrong buttons unless you’re programming the robot, otherwise it’s a decent skill builder and fun to play with. Problem solving for tracks that migrate? Make your own wheels! Which add to the traditional mobility.
