ROKR Assemble Solar Energy Powered Cars-Moveable 3D Wooden Puzzle Toys-Funny Teaching Educational-Home Deco-Model Building Sets-Best Christmas,Birthday Gift for Adult (Curiosity Rover)

I love these wooden kits and have assembled well over a hundred. Some are great, some not so much. ROKR models have improved greatly over the years, and this one was a lot of fun. Parts went together very nicely and it came out well. The solar component was a first for me and works perfectly. Great model for either beginners or intermediate talent.

This one was a blast! My favorite about all these that I buy is that they work after you’re done. The rollercoaster I got has a handle that you turn to cycles the marbles up the lift. This one has a solar energized motor, so it drives afterwards. They are so addicting.

Fun auto build, but I may have put the gear in backwards bc it's running in reverse and too late to change it out 😭 still fun though

Part and cut outs are very fragile, easy to break with a fat finger.

Great project

I bought two of these as Christmas gifts: one for my nephew to work on with his mom (my sister) and one for my dad. It is smaller than I expected but that’s ok. Christmas and new years are puzzle time in my family, and that’s all we really get my dad. This year i wanted a different type of puzzle thrown in. As a mechanic and retired race car driver I thought this would could be a fun and different challenge, especially because he grew up building model cars. He started working on it Christmas evening and finished it the next afternoon. Unfortunately, the solar does not work. He tried spinning the wheels after having it out in the sun for a bit and he could feel the motor and gears trying to start working but after a good hour of nothing I realized this one is another dud solar pack like others had according to reviews. Overall, he enjoyed putting it together, especially after he started out by removing about half of the parts from the panels then read the instructions that said to remove them as needed. It was a little more challenging because he did that (he’s 75) but it was still not too bad. Having to build the tools at the beginning is very creative which I think is a great idea. My 10-yr-old nephew should be opening his this afternoon and I know he had fun with the marble run puzzles so this should also be a fun challenge for him to do with his mom. Hopefully the solar works on his.

*Edit: I tried to return this through the manufacture's website but that was futile because there is no contact info there. Luckily I was able return it through amazon hassle free and get a replacement sent out immediately. The replacement had a functioning solar panel and all of its pieces were intact. If you enjoy puzzles and little builds, you'll enjoy this. I would recommend it and say it's giftable too. This was such a fun little build. Unfortunately the solar panel does not work so the car won't move at all. I'm extremely disappointed because this was somewhat pricey. Because I build these as a hobby and collect them, it's worth the price tag if all the parts work. That was not the case with this particular build. I will reach out to the company to see if I can get a solar panel replacement and update my rating accordingly.

I love that this item was delivered promptly and it is a great craft kit that teaches about energy by using sunlight to power moving parts after you assemble it. Very fun and offering educational stem learning for kids and adults.
