This was an excellent kit for me and my son! We’ve been working up through various levels of projects and we’ve had obstacle avoiding cars and sideways driving cars, but this self balancing kit was a hit! - Honestly was exciting to see this one come together and balance itself while following a line! - The best part about these kits (IMO) is that these components from various kits can be combined and integrated into bigger and better projects! Great for building into the next skill level or even beginners (comes with excellent info and documentation) Totally suggest this one for anyone who loves robotics that can actually perform!

This is a very fun robot to assemble. I think it would suit a teenager very well also. It’s a great idea for if you don’t know what to get a teenager for their birthday.

I ordered this for my 11-year-old grandson who has had several classes on how to code. He is a heavy gamer and a natural with code. He had no problem building The Adeept Self-balancing Robot. The parts are sealed in antistatic bags which is great. He said the instructions were great in some steps and not so great in other steps. He was able to figure out most of the assembly without heavy use of the instructions. Coding was a little challenging but he read the manual and the programming code which are available online. The link is on a card included in your package. They state there are no paper tutorials because the tutorials are updated frequently. I always worry about online coding for these types of robots as once discontinued often the link is also deleted. We have experienced this in the past with a couple of other robotic toys. Coding wasn’t as easy for him as I thought it was going to be but he figured out how to program the little guy and changes the code when he feels like it. You can download an Android app to control the robot remotely. It was a neat learning experience but he has begun to lose interest in this project. I do recommend this robot.

This is a nice kit. All the parts are individually bagged in anti static bags. I wish the main board was a standard board but it is a non-standard board costume made for the application. The manual and programing code is available online. You can customize the code to add or change any function you want.
