A great buy! . I ordered this and another Elenco Kit as part of a class I was teaching to eight to ten year old kids. The kids loved it. They especially loved being able to solder all the components on themselves. I did also order a practice soldering kit and that definitely helped with teaching them to solder before we started on the robot kits. The directions for the kit were fairly easy to follow though there are a couple parts that need to be placed in a specific direction and if you are not paying close attention, you may put them in backward and it won't work. I do have to warn you that it is very easy to make a mistake on a kit like this or even ruin the board when you are soldering (or desoldering, when mistakes are made). In my case, my kids did make mistakes (all part of the learning process) and were not able to get their robot fully functional. Regardless, I think this product is completely worth it and an excellent value.

Not for beginners . I fully admit that I am a beginner at putting together electrical things from scratch. But the description of the product made it sound like it would be ok for people just learning. Unfortunately, my son and I still haven't figured out what we're doing wrong and why the ladybug won't start. We did everything like the instructions said but when we put the batteries in, they get so hot you can't touch them if you leave them in for more than a couple of minutes. I assume this means we have something backwards but we can't figure out what it is.
I loved taking the time to do this with my son and if you're more knowledgeable about electrical things, I think this would be a fun kit to use to teach your kids or someone else how to do it. But the instructions aren't exactly great for beginners.
