ACEBOTT STEM Robotics Science Kits for Adults, ESP8266 Spider Robot Building Kit, App Remote Control, Walking Crawling Fun Educational Toy for 12 + Year Old Boys, Girls, Teens, Adults Unique Gifts

A good starter robotics kit . Step by step guide (on-line) to assemble and program a robot with explanations along the way.

This thing sucks. First it did not come with the special battery that we had to order separately. Once we finally got the battery my kid lost interest in the project. I completed the assembly myself to try and get my kid to regain interest but then we were unable to do any programming or get the thing to move. There are No instructions, you have to look everything up online. The programming instructions available online are either not existent or way too sophisticated for a child or adult who doesn’t have previous computer programming experience. They make it look simple on the videos. But it is not. They are not showing all of the steps.

Great project

This is a fantastic kit with everything included but the 18650 battery and the instructions. You will need to go to their website, and even watch an online video on how to put this quadruped together. You will also need to install drivers and firmware for it. The 18650 battery is also not included.Included is the battery holder, two PCB boards with processor (Arduino) all the servos connectors, screwdriver, and USB cable. There is a parts list and a decal too.I've only watched the video to put the bot together and plan on building this with my daughter.No soldering required.Parts come in a shielded bag where needed, and all other parts are in their own individual bags. The kit is reminiscent of the kits that Radio Shack used to sell and I loved. I don't think this kit will be challenging, but I do have a background in robotics and engineering, so I am used to tinkering a lot. However, I believe with patients this is a great kit to bond over with be a child, student or anyone.Makes a great gift for the Stem / Steam interested person or child.

The servos included are supposed to be metal geared based on how it is specced on the housing, but they included only plastic gear servos. This dramatically shortens the lifespan of the product, and overall diminished the value I saw in buying this. The kit seems to come with everything needed, and no parts were missing. I am just disappointed in the servos having plastic gears. Building the kit is educational and fun for a first or second time robot builder, and instructions are complete.

I’m missing a part needed for one of the legs. The step by step guide isn’t accurate, it shows I need to screw in at a certain hole that isn’t shown in the parts that I received in the kit. Highly disappointed and was really looking forward to getting this done. I wasted my money and time!

This review is for the ACEBOTT ESP8266 Bionic Quadruped Spider Robot Kit. Great STEM robot kit. It is somewhat tedious to assemble with the small bolts and nuts in tight places, but it just takes a little patience and time. While the age reference for this says 8 and up, it will take a good bit of assistance from an adult to complete as well as all the setup and calibration.The required battery is not included so be sure to get the correct one since it is a typical household battery used in toys.

Ist sehr gut angekommen bei den Kids und war auch nicht zu schwer

Got this for my grandson he loves it

Il montaggio è abbastanza complesso però molto carino . Peccato la batteria non è compresa nel kit , dovrebbe essere inclusa .

Leider waren 2 teile gebrochen von den Beinen

Been playing with this today .You need to BUY an 18650 battery with flat top (not the button type) and a way to charge it.You'll need to get it before you assemble your robot as you need to insert it fully charged during the assembly.NextYou need either a computer ,tablet or phone to go and get the instructions.I was annoyed by this because they are PDF and could EASILY have been included as a printed manual.Anyway we got down to assembling.It is fiddly with very small nuts to position.You get the rest of the machine,in pieces to make of course.The body is acrylic.Parts all look good quality and everything is made to fit without problem.Remember it has 8 legs so the assembley of each will be the same and gets a bit tedious.On assembley, there is software (downloaded with the manual).I also downloaded it seperately incase there was any difference.As yet we havent finished the build.It will take several days . Not that it is long but the particpant's interest Wained and we'll wait till he wants to get on with it again.This is something a sciency or craftsy 10 year old would enjoy.My 12 y old helper likes dismantling stuff but lacks attention so one must be on hand to give a bit of encouragement.We found the video you can watch via a link was very small and while we could understand ok, it was not really more helpful than the PDF.I think the manufacturer should include the battery and charger with the kit as it isnt inexpensive and there really should be a printed tutorial to save all the backwards and forwards when youve got it all laid out to build.Photos are1. part assembled robot and all the parts included.2. section of the PDF showing how the instructions are laid out (ignore keyboard thats just a bit of our computer)
