“The Mech-5 is a mission-based, entry-level STEM coding robot that is designed to inspire young engineers to learn about mechanical engineering principles and coding basics. Once the robot is assembled, you can code its movements by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel. Thanks to this simple to follow approach the Mech-5 can move forward, backward, and rotate 360 degrees. It can even perform more challenging tasks like throwing, lifting, kicking, or drawing.Elenco Teach products are based on STEM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) to teach and encourage kids in their development, all while having fun! All Teach Tech Green-Energy robots are powered by either water, wind, or sun, so there are no batteries required. Perfect for future engineers ages 10+.”

Awesome robot for the discounted price!
Awesome robot, My 7 years old got it for Christmas and he build it himself (little help here and there for those littlehands) and played every day ever since. Just that, one may need patience which my son has shown he does.I actually bought 2 for discounted price during the time. It was awesome for that price.The same robot can do different functions with a little change. He is enjoying that part as well.

Patience required, but worth the effort
Good things come to those who wait. Bought this for my son, 10, who is noted for his meticulous nature. He had no trouble assembling it in various forms, without adult assistance. As others have said yes, there are a million and three tiny parts and screws. If you are patient and careful assembling it, then this very much is worth it. If you are looking for a quick throw together then this kit is not for you. Learning the programming wheel has a bit f a learning curve, but the instructions are very thorough (and have a considerable heft for a kit this size). The robot in operation is quite loud, but then it’s plastic gears and an exposed motor so this is not terribly surprising.

Great activity for a young STEM enthusiast
My 10 yr old grandson loved it. He assembled it, without help, and commented that it was just challenging enough! He’s enjoying exploring its various functions. I appreciate that it wasn’t something that he was done with in a couple of hours. Looks like it will provide some lasting entertainment!

Fun toy, difficult assembly
My 8 year old loves this robot. The programming aspect is simple but fun. The assembly is a bit of a chore though. There are MANY pieces which you have to cut out of a frame and make sure that you get all the barbs off so the gears can run smoothly. I’m fairly good at mechanical things and it took me a couple of hours to make sure it was working properly. I would advise having a jewelry making snips tool, small screw driver, and sand paper on hand for the assembly. Those things are not included. If buying this a a gift I would make sure that an adult is prepared to help the kid assemble it.

Grandson loves it
7 year old grandson put it together without supervision. And, I was impressed with how well it works. Highly recommend.

Best gift for a 10 y.o.
This is a very good robot. Not an ordinary STEM project, it makes your child work, think, spend time and effort. Might be a bit challenging but that what it makes it so interesting. Highly recommend for anyone interested in STEM

Future engineers and programmers will love it!
For a beginner robot builder, it was more complex. There were a lot of pieces, however; the science of it is educational and fascinating to watch after coding. The building of the robot was more complex than the coding. The coding was the fun part. If you have a lot of patience and a mind for working out solutions and planning, you will love this. If you just want a quick easy build, this one’s probably not for you. We were able to program this robot to shoot the ball that it came with. Value for money was good as expected.

birthday gift
Grandson enjoyed the challenge

Easier to assemble than you may first think. The instructions are very good.

This is a nice toy but needs adult supervision to build: a sharp blade is required to remove thd parts from the mould. The way the robot does its job is rather agricultural and the coding .. if it is coding .. is rather basic. But the parts come together well and a little one can have fun with it. Thd best part: it is NOT made in China.

Hours of learning skill to put this robot together keeps child so intrigued.
