Favorite toy on Christmas! . This toy has captured my 7-yr-old son's imagination. It beat out an iPod, hexbugs, and zoobs (all great toys too). It's not totally intuitive, so be prepared to spend some time teaching kids how to use it. But after a half hour of working together, he's sending it around the house telling everyone merry Christmas. I was skeptical, based on the price, worried that it might be flimsy. The keypad is a bit tough to use (sometimes over sensitive sometimes under sensitive). But for $60, that's not unreasonable. It works exactly as advertised and he LOVES it. If you have a kid who idolizes Grant Imahara, this toy is a must!!

Broken . This item arrived broken. I was then told it was out of stock for 3 months. This was very upsetting.

Cons Review
Smart Lab ReCon 6.0 Rover . I really wanted to like this product. It seems to be riddled with bugs. If you don't remember to power it down with the switch underneath the robot it will eat through batteries in less than a day. Took me 2 sets of batteries to figure that out. Our 9 year old son still doesn't have the habit. The screen also blanks out randomly while programming. I don't think the one I received is defective I just think it has some bugs. Too bad because it's really cool looking and my son was excited to received it as a gift. Maybe they will fix the bugs with version 7.0 but right now I would not recommend this product to anyone. Ours just sits on a shelf.
ReCon Rover As Expected . My children were excited to try out the ReCon Rover. We have found no flaws with it. It works as advertised. My sons only complaint is that it is slow. The kids enjoy taking turns programming it to move around the house. My son is 14 and was able to work the ReCon Rover on his own. My only issues it that the neatest has worn off and I have not seen my children use the toy again.
Program Heavy! . I thought this was something my 7 year old boy could do himself. It requires heavy programing and adult assistance. My son thought it would be all voice and remote control activated. He wants to do it himself, but it requires a lot of reading of codes and too many instructions--I even got overwhelmed. I made my husband help him. I think it would be better for an older computer programing loving child.
