Tobbie the Self-Guiding AI Robot Build Your Own DIY STEM Kit

This was a lot of fun to put together for my son (10). he enjoyed the whole process of building something, and making it work. I've recommended it a few times to other friends, and they've been similarly impressed. It's a sturdy little unit, works better on some surfaces than others and it kept him well entertained. I think if it was for much younger kids then there's not enough variety in what it does once built to keep them entertained, but I would recommend. This was for my 10 year old son, and he found it just right in challenge and in terms of build process.

It has some nice functionalities. Kids love it.

This robot comes in tiny parts and I managed to follow the instructions well. To me personally it was very fiddly to build and my 9 year old would have never been able to build this so it’s definitely the parents job to make. Once it was made it worked fine. It walks around recognising and avoiding obstacles around it. Sadly the legs are not very sturdy and 2 of them popped out of its place after a couple of uses and you have to dismantle part of it again with screwdrivers to be able to fix it so I cannot give 5stars in it as it’s not very sturdy. I am not sure why Amazon asks me to rate face recognition as it doesn’t do that it only recognise obstacles to avoid walking into or hand to follow in the other setting.

It’s a project but once built, is a bit boring. Doesn’t do much. Has to be in range if you want it to follow up. More a 5 minute wonder.

I found this a really good fun thing to build and it works surprisingly well. It is probably more difficult than a standard 8 ear old could easily put together. Some parts have to be assembled precisely correct otherwise it will not work at all. I used a sharp knife to remove the moulding burrs which probably isn't suitable for a younger child. For it's price and complexity it is a very well designed and manufactured product but it is still made of relatively flimsy plastic and if you drop it or squash it, then it will break and I doubt it will be repairable. It walks on any relatively smooth flat surface (carpets are a struggle) in the direction the head is facing, which rotates through 360 degrees. It operates autonomously in either a back away from objects mode or a follow objects mode. It does not come with any form of hand held controller. The assembling is the main entertainment of this product as once assembled and played with once, there is not much more you can do. I have replaced the existing controller with another that I can reprogramme. Overall I think it is brilliant but anyone without a specific interest in robotics might find it a bit limited.

Great little robot works well

Very poor. Took an age to put together, then when it was finally finished, we found that the internal motors were broken and not working. Waste of money and huge disappointment.

Came in time, looks good, but since it is a xmas gift i have not opened it.

It is very brittle

Unser Enkel spielt gerne damit und hat Spaß. Entspricht der Beschreibung.

È bellissimo, più di quanto avessi immaginato. Montandolo con attenzione, aiutando ovviamente un bambino che abbia almeno 10 anni, il risultato è sorprendente. Fa tutto quello che è descritto. Prende vita. Stupendo. Lo consiglio a tutti. Un prezzo veramente basso per un prodotto fuori del comune. Ne comprerò sicuramente un altro da regalare o da tenere. Complimenti all'ideatore. Chi lascia delle recensioni negative ha grossi problemi, dovrebbe farsi visitare da un dottore.

Petit robot qui suit les mouvements. Trop mimi.

Lätt att bygga ihop. Väldigt få funktioner. Går framåt eller följa ett objekt inom 10cm. Finns inget som är AI med denna grej
