What reviewers say

Reviewers liked the reusable metal construction and progression from simple controls to block and Arduino programming. Tech Age Kids found assembly approachable, apart from motor wiring. Raspberry Connect had stability, battery-retention and Bluetooth trouble with the self-balancing build. Tests used earlier software and teaching resources.
