Learning Resources Botley 2.0 Coding Robot Activity Set, Ages 5+, Screen-Free STEM Toy for Kids, Remote-Controlled Programming Robot with Lights, Sounds & 78-Piece Kit

Bought this little bad boy for Christmas for my 4 year old. first one that came was a dud not sure but just asked them to resend another. 1 day later the new one came, Amazed. kids a well and truly loving the toy seems the be the winner of the year as normally they get board in 5 secs. so very happy with the people they really were helpful and gave no fuss. 10/5

My son initially passed this up in favour of other toys but once I showed him how it works and explained the concepts with the supplied cards he loved the challenge. He enjoyed finding the not so 'secret codes' too. There's quite a lot of variety to be had with botley from maze style runs, ball capture, obstacle avoidance and multiple objectives for more challenging scenarios. Whether this toy will stand the test of time remains to be seen, but as a means to get the kids away from the phone and tv right now it's great !

Perfect for my 3 year old and 7 year old girls. They spent hours with it despite it being a “learning activity”! Love the fact it’s screen free. The product itself seems well made and versatile. Time will tell if it stands the test of regular use! One issue I noticed was the tracking of the wheels. One seems to spin quicker than the other which makes a huge difference when trying to do a straight run.

You will not be disappointed. It's a toy that will grow on them slowly, not something that gets used and shoved away. It's well thought out and teaches logic.

So far so good. After two days we are having great fun with Botley. It was a gift for my five year old grandson and he is learning some of the functions. We re particularly enjoying Botley when he becomes a police car, dinosaur, frog etc. He is needing a lot of supervision from us and although he can manage simple coding he needs help following the instruction booklet.

Nice unit but it does not follow the line, seems this is a common fault with the toy, that was one of the selling points for me.

Control doesn’t connect to robot. All the components look good and it looks like it’d be a lot of fun but basically useless without the remote

Birthday gift with lots to do and think about.

Bon robot pour initier votre enfant à la robotique.

Ho regalato questo gioco ed è piaciuto molto. È stato tuttavia difficoltoso il primo utilizzo perché, malgrado la legge italiana prescriva l’obbligo di istruzioni in italiano per gli oggetti venduti in Italia, le istruzioni in italiano non c’erano. Mi permetto di suggerire ad Amazon di rimediare a questo inconveniente al più presto per tutti i prodotti che commercializza in Italia!

Awesome robot with great features for my 6 years old. Definitely recommended to distract kids from screen and also show them what they can do!

Good product, good price and good delivery.

Such an amazing STEM toy - my kiddo was so exited to learn coding and see botley do tricks. Love this set as you can start with just the robot and then progress to adding the other bits once interest starts to wane. I’ve bought this for my kids and as a gift and highly recommend it.
