Meccano - Meccanoid XL 2.0

We got this as a Christmas gift for our 9 and 11 year olds. It was very fun to assemble. Took us a day and half to complete as a family. My kids were pretty much over playing with it by the second day though. I’m still giving it 5 stars because we all had fun putting it together and it’s a pretty amazing toy. The phrases and things he says are great. Might just be my kids who lose interest quickly 😂 They still pull it out for a few minutes every now and then and are proud they got to build a ROBOT!

Excelente para quienes les gusta armar y seguir manuales, mi hijo adolescente aún no termina de armarlo pero está fascinado

Before purchasing this product we searched as many options as we could find. I had put my 10 year old son to work reading review after review as together we wanted to get the best buy for our home school dollars, yet, most education experience as possible. We did not just want a 'new toy,' rather a challenging, educational STEM experience that would be used and used. WELL, in spite a number of negative reviews my son has said to me, "Mom, I want you to write a review so this product isn't overlooked by people searching for a really cool 'robot,' because it shouldn't get a bad review at all. Its just wonderful!" So here I am. I took a hundred pictures from opening the box and its contents to the process of Aden, again a 10 year old, following every page of the perfectly presented and diagrammed instructions book for a period of about 5 days to completion of this robot building project. He worked independently totally, slowly and meticulously able to follow the instructions without a hitch! My only assist was holding a couple pieces in place so his small hands could operate the tools to install. IN addition, helping him safely place it, due to size, during 'off building-time.' He attached all wires properly with ease. HE downloaded (me by his side of course) information. WE struggled a bit with getting the battery cover off and called the company for instructions. I helped with this simply because his hands weren't strong enough to open it. As it turns out, he opted to removed the battery case (a very good problem solving decision) giving me better access to open it. The instructions were presented perfectly, I had just hesitated as I didn't want to 'force' it open, yet it did need a little extra pressure to get open. Before that, I called support for help and was answered immediately and helped immediately. They were prompt, friendly and really awesome! Once Meccanoid's Meccabrain was updated, Aden was off and running! I can see there is much to be learned with this product. Too, Aden began his coding journey with Dash and Dot, after successfully completing all coding, we moved to Cue, which he still codes, and now Meccanoid. This is a really cool project! EDUCATIONAL, FUN, INTERESTING, DELIGHTFUL, & ENTERTAINING. As a mom who is very careful what my son is doing with his gift of time, I'm delighted to have made this decision to purchase Meccanoid. Aden began Lego's when he was very young and has been able to put together any age kit, which I expect was in part his ease in following the instructions to build Meccanoid 2.0XL (the 4' one). HE and I highly support other parents who are considering this product and we're happy to answer any questions you may!

Necesita una actualización y no soy capaz de hacerlo. Es un regalo para mi hijo. Además la aplicación que es para el robot es bastante complicadas de utilizar
