Customer Review: Great for people who value effort and dare go outside
Summary: 5 Stars
People who know that rewards come from effort will find this solar educational toy to be good value and good fun, and also good education. As other reviewers mention (and as is clearly marked) this has small parts, and needs assembly. People who like the easy way out will find this does not work for them.
Not only is this "solar robot kit" not that expensive, "ready to run" alternatives cost several times over, and are not at all that educational really: the need to put effort, and attention to detail, are good educational points in themselves, besides the physics and electronics, and the actually being able to see how it all fits together to work.
BTW, this is a *solar* item. It is NOT designed to work under electric lamps. To get full results you may have to go outside, another big plus in itself.
Highly recommended for homeschoolers. Maybe 10 years old is about the youngest I would give this to, 12 being about ideal.
