Review: Amazing STEM Toy — Engaging, Educational, and So Much Fun! - he Makeblock mBot Ranger 3-in-1 Robotics Kit has been an absolute game-changer! My child (age 8-12) loves it, and honestly, so do I. From the moment we opened the box, we knew this was a high-quality product designed to inspire creativity and learning. First off, the build experience is fantastic. The kit transforms into three different robot configurations — a tank, a self-balancing vehicle, and a three-wheeled racing car. Each design is fun to construct and teaches important engineering and problem-solving skills. The step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, perfect for kids who are building something more advanced than just blocks. What really sets this robot apart is the coding element. My child has had a blast learning Scratch programming — the drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to understand logic and sequencing. The transition from visual Scratch coding to more advanced Arduino programming opens the door to deeper learning and endless customization. It’s amazing to watch their confidence grow as they program the robot to move, react to sensors, and perform tasks.
Review: 12 yo approved. - I took a chance on these. My son has gotten a couple of cheaper robots for Christmas gifts from relatives, and none of them have ever worked because they were missing pieces or the gears didn’t fit together properly. I was worried that now that my son is in seventh grade. It was a little late to buy something like this, but I ended up getting it for Christmas and he’s really enjoyed it periodically. He brings it out with something new. He’s figured out how to do on it so far we’ve only done one configuration, and his father did help him with it, but I wouldn’t be surprised i if I find it taken apart sometime soon, everything has worked smoothly with this, and the pieces are solid

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to replace all batteries for Ranger?**
A: Hi,
Here is the building video for your reference. If you need more instruction, please visit https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/sections/360001778374-mBot-Ranger or email us to service@makeblock.com.

**Q: The description says it can be controlled by remote. Does the remote come with the kit or do we need to purchase another item?**
A: Hi Mamma C.
Actually the remote control means App controller, you can install the Makeblock app to your cellphone to control the robot.
If you want to control it by Controller, you can refers to this Bluetooth controller.

It is not packed in the kit, you need to buy it separately.
Thanks.

**Q: Does this come with an arduino ready to go?**
A: Hi Jacob,This comes with an Auriga board which is based on the Arduino UnoB  The Auriga board is ready to be programmed.Hope that helps.

**Q: Anyone able to compare this in any way to the Lego Boost?  Both are essentially the same price, so is it a coin flip?**
A: I think this one hands down is better quality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An awesome intro to robots for a 9 year old girl and her dad!
*by I***A on July 21, 2016*

This review is for the first version mBot Ranger, the next generation should be shipping from Amazon in August of 2016 and should be even easier but it is no reason to wait to order. I purchased three different Makeblock robot models for our three girls. This mBot Ranger is for our middle girl who is 9 years old. The first build was the tank. I let my daughter do the complete build on her own although I did tighten a couple screws when she was done. I was there the entire time to guide her and explain the instructions but she did the wrenching, had fun and it was good father daughter time. The build was easy for her but not too easy. We mistakenly put the larger wheels on the rear of the treads which made the treads too tight. Once this was fixed we downloaded the MakeBlock app on the iPhone and were ready to go, or so we thought! The app said that we needed to update firmware so I downloaded the Makeblock app on a windows laptop, connected the bot via USB and attempted the easy update but it failed. After much troubleshooting I ended up changing the MakeBlock App Board setting from mBot to Auriga and was able to update it fine. Once this happened it was off to the races, literally. The next evening my daughter disassembled the tank and built the self-balancing “Nervous Bird”. This did not take her very long and she did it without my knowledge so she had no help. She likes the “Nervous Bird” so much that she has not built the race car yet but she did help her 6 year old sister build the mBot starter without help as well. I would like to point out that this is not just a remote control toy you take out of the box and play with. These are made to build and learn from so the problems we ran into are all part of the experience. When we got stuck I combed through the forums and found the answers or just tried different things. Now that the sample builds are functional we can get into the programming in Scratch, this is where the real fun will start. If there was any fault I could point out it would be that these robots eat through AA batteries so I did order a couple 12v, 6000 mAh rechargeable Lithium battery packs for the bigger robots. This should supply more and longer lasting power! The couple of challenges we faced in this build, I believe you can quickly and easily overcome by reading this review. If you run into a problem we did not, the MakeBlock forums are a great place to find the answers. You will just have to sift through posts from people who gave up or expected this to be handed to them. Each of our girls love their robots. This is a good introduction to robotics and a great platform for learning programming and the Arduino.
