Remote Control Robot Arm Kit

Overall it took me 4 hours and 5 minutes to complete. It would have taken about 1 hour less time if my wife wasn’t distracting me. It took another hour of test driving, fine tuning, and re-adjusting the location of where to fasten one of the long arms. If you follow the initial guidance by the instructions, your claw will never be able to reach low enough to touch the surface. I’ve marked the spot where you should reposition one of the longer parts. This new position will allow your claw to touch the surface. Not sure how it will affect its strength and leverage though. I am sure it does to some degree, so take my advice with some caution.

This is a nice product but not the easiest to put together. You really need to pay very close attention to the diagrams or else it may not operate perfectly and you will need to redo sections. It does operate well when completed correctly.

Felt compelled to write a review as it did not have many reviews and some of the other reviews had me on the fence as to whether or not to buy. My 8 year old and I loved the experience of building this robot. The instructions are easy to follow (pictures only), you just need to pay attention to detail as far as how each piece is oriented. Battery life has been good - at least 20 minutes of play between charges and it hasn't completely died on us yet - just became more sluggish. The gripper claw has been able to pick up quite a few different items. It's not industrial strength but it's fine for a kid's toy. Maybe I got a good one based on the other reviews, but this one is a 10/10 and would buy again.

The bookers didn’t have sufficient instructions and diagram was not clear enough to understand one particular section of the diagram.

I've done my share of kit building in the last year or so and of all the kits I've completed, this piece of junk is the worst I've encountered. 1, The instructions are vague and, in some cases the colors don't have enough contrast to stand out enough. this requires a magnifying glass. 2. Every screw starts out cross threaded and requires jiggling about to get seated correctly. 3. Upon assembly, holes do not line up correctly so, in four places, when the screw will not engage, I resorted to large toothpicks and crazy glue. 4. The routing instructions for the wiring are again, vague. 5. Only half of the controls work. Usually, I dissemble my models and pass them on the the local kids hospital. This one is bound for the trash heap.

Kit was well packaged and well labeled. Instructions were decently easy to follow and part quality wasn't bad. May have been missing one small part but it was small enough that we may have lost it too. I just 3d printed a replacement. My 10 year old was able to build it with a little coaching. The reason I had to give it two stars was that after assembly we played with it for about an hour and suddenly all the functions controlled by the buttons on top half of remote stopped working. Tried troubleshooting and reaching out to supplier who was only able to provide some generic steps. Had to return it.

This product has high quality metal parts that fit together well. Directions had enough detail to show part orientation if you pay close attention. Hardware is well identified and they supply an extra of each. 18 channel RC with 6 motors is a great value.

I got this for my 9 year old son. Worth every penny. Directions were easy to follow. Product totally lived up to expectations. Most importantly, impressively rugged design. Can't really think of one negative thing to say. Perhaps maybe, why couldn't they have made this when I was a kid? Last but not least. Amazing customer service. I plan on buying more products from them.
