Awesome Learning Experience

This robot is more of a learning experience, than a toy. Upon opening the box, you find lots of pieces that look like an erector set, and many screws and bolts. The instructions were, I felt, a little vague, but that is actually a good thing, in that it makes a person take the time to think through how to put it together. In working that way with the pieces, I think it helps a person to figure out how to make plans to create other things out of the pieces. It was kind of like a puzzle for me to build, which was very fun. Once I had the robot built, I charged up the battery, then installed the battery and turned the robot on. When the robot first starts up, the robot goes through a check list to see if everything is installed correctly, which I had not installed the arm servos correctly, and had to fix that. Once everything was correct, the robot tells you to say his name. After saying his name, you can tell him to go to the main menu, and there is a chart in the instruction booklet that lists the commands he already knows. If you do not give him a command for a little bit, he comes up with things he knows how to do, and will ask you if you would like him to do them. There were a couple of times, he just decided to dance and started right in. The robot uses voice recognition, which is kind of a safety feature, in that it will keep a sibling from being able to take controll of the robot. You want to be sure to give the robot quite a bit of room to move around, so he doesn't walk into anyone or anything. This is a very awesome learning tool for any child or adult that loves puzzle type things and has an interest in robotics. He has a mode, where you can teach him things, and give that a command name, and he will do it when you say it. You can also put your phone in his chest plate, and have him copy your movements, or hold your phone in your hand and use it to direct for him to make different movements. The robot has a friendly voice, and he is very entertaining. My one and only complaint would be, the robot was not programmed to respond to the word stop. When he is talking of moving, there is no stopping him, until he is done, and he did walk into a couple of things. I really feel this is an absolutely fantastic learning tool, as you can do so much with it, and it can keep on evolving. You can get other sets to add to him, to make even more things with him. His fingers do not move, but I think a person with enough developed skills, could create movable fingers and hands for him. His arms do move in pretty much real life motions. He is very fun to watch him do his thing. This is one toy that I do not think any child or adult would ever get tired of working with. With this robot, you are investing in your child's, or your own education.

Awesome Robot

The Meccano Meccanoid G15 KS Personal Robot is awesome. If you are thinking about getting one – do it. It stands 4 feet tall and can be assembled in countless different configurations (the entire set consists of 1,188 pieces). The standard way to put it together looks like a prototypical robot (it reminds me of Johnny 5 – I think it's the eyes). We had no idea that it was this large - It is like having another member of the family. You can really create all kinds of different things with it (there are plans online to make a dinosaur shaped robot). We have an older Lego robotics set, and while this has a lot in common (assembly and ability to create your own robots), it is also quite different (size, programming methods, voice recognition, rechargeable battery, etc.). It can be programmed through a smart device (android or iOS), or taught by moving it around as desired and “programming” it this way. It will respond to voice commands and even tells jokes. There are 10 total motors (compared to 3 in a Lego robotics set) included which allows for realistic movement - don't expect the legs to "walk" like a human - it simply rolls with motors in the "feet". The large eyes are actually LEDs that can be adjusted to almost any color. Again, would recommend to anyone looking for a toy/educational robot. It recommended for ages 10 and up. Enjoy!

Really neat

This took a few days to finally complete. It came with alot of screws, nuts, etc. I suggest having small bowls or cups to help keep the parts separated as well as help keep them from spilling from packages. We used plastic cups we had left over from a party. My 5 year old and my 11 year old helped my husband put this together. I would suggest many breaks!!! My husband was very tired of putting this together. But the kids had fun. Then it came time to turn him on. He runs a self check to make sure he is built correctly. Which I thought was really neat. Once he has ran that he reboots. I suggest keeping the book handy when you play until you learn all the commands. But you can make him introduce himself. He tells jokes which are cute and funny for the kids. He dances all sorts of dances. He exercises like yoga. His moments are mostly his arms and head. The legs do not bend but do roll and turn. So alot of his movements are very similar like from one dance to another. You are supposed to be able to down load an app and make him move using your phone. I never could connect it to my phone. There are also other things you do online with him. But I never messed with that either. We just put him together before Halloween. We had a kid friendly party so we put a cape around him and he was a big hit. What's funny is when he doesn't respond to people the people usually talk louder almost yelling at him. Really I find if he doesn't respond thr best thing to do is speak slower and clearer not louder....lol!!! But it was funny to watch people repeatedly yell at him!!! Over all he is very cool. But after the first few days he is like anything else and in the corner being unused.
