Great product. Requires adult supervision and assitance
This product (albeit expensive) is great for what it is advertised - acquainting your child with computing and coding. This is not a "toy" and a child cannot be expected to handle or play with it on his own. However, under my guidance my 5 year old daughter (turned 5 last month - this was a birthday present) loves it and is very engaged with it when we decide to "play". Its great for quality time with your child, it opens their mind to simplifying instructions to basic levels in order to communicate with a computer (robot) and gives them additional skills like orientation when considering someone else's point of view, facing challenges & dealing with initial frustration of failure to overcome, patience, planning ahead and more. I would recommend anyone who considers buying this product to consider that the childs engagement with it will require close guidance. It would be a shame to spend such a large sum of money just to let it accumulate dust somewhere because no one takes the time to guide the child through the process of learning.

Awesome add on!
We have the Matatalab Pro Set and this accessory. I think this add-on is well made and very fun to my kids. They love to have me come see to their creations! The artist add-on is probably one of my favorites because I don't really remember being taught about angles like this in school and it is very fun to learn this way!My kids have fun playing with this Coding Robot - my kids are 7 and 8 and have found that some of the things on here are quiet easier.Well madeFun to play withEngagingExpensiveNo sound adjustment optionsNo other storage box or container - so when we have the additional sets they just stay in their boxes.

Great toy for younger kids to learn the basics of programming
This toy is definitely geared towards younger kids. But still, my kids, who are a bit older at 8 & 11, have been having a blast playing around designing little "programs" to direct the robot to do different things and solve the puzzles presented in the "game books".It definitely teaches the literal-mindedness of computers in that they do exactly what you direct them to do, and not necessarily what you want or what you mean. It only has one more advanced programming construct, fixed count looping, and does not have any conditional constructs (e.g. if-then-else, do-while, etc.). But, again, this is for a younger audience and sets the stage for learning more advanced constructs later.One note: I learned the hard way that you can't charge these devices with chargers that are MORE THAN 2 amps...at least not the tower. What'll happen if you do is that the LED will blink white and and will not charge. The good news is that I reached out for support and they promptly got back to me with the fix (use a charger that is <= 2 amps).

Super toll.... mein Sohn, 6 Jahre, hat richtig Spaß daran. Er ist begeistert, wenn er sein Ziel erreicht.... das Verständnis gür Schleifen und Funktion kann super vermittelt werden. Logisches Denken ist auch erforderlich....Etwas teuer, aber wirklich gut
