Great building and action toy . My son received this for his fifth birthday. He loves building and electronics, so this was a perfect match for him. He enjoys creating robots on his own or having mom help build the sample robots.
Learning Resources Gearbotics Robot Motorized Set Reviews
Granny's view of product . I purchased this from the reviews of others and sent it to my grandsons. They love it which is great. I am more impressed with the company. I had a problem with the first robot and contacted the company and they sent another product without question. I didn't have the receipt or box since my grandsons live in another state. I must say that I will be a customer of this company because I know they "value me" as a "satisfied" customer.
Learning Resources Gearbotics Robot Motorized Set Opinions
Great toy but broke early . This toy was very well received by my 5 year old. The directions were well beyond him, but that didn't deter him. Unfortunately, the associated worm gear that drives the robot broke in about 5 minutes. I called the company who were very helpful and promised a new one by mail (still waiting). Even without the worm gear, the parts were easy to use(and of course scattered about the house). Overall, presuming I get the replacement worm gear, I would recomend this toy. It offers lots of imagination driven possibilities.
Design flaw? . The gear from the handheld remote/motor that propelled the rest of the robot stripped with less than an hour of use. Thus, the power would spin the first gear, but that gear would not catch to turn any subsequent gears and the robot would not move. It was a lot of fun the first time, but it's just a statue if it won't move. I had to send it back.
Not bad could be better... . I bought this for my 6 year old son. He is quite intelligent for his age and capable of reading directions, but he will not even attempt this without my help. The first time I put one together, I understood why... even for the adult, there are directions that can be confusing. Plus, once it is complete, it can be precarious; a wheel or gear might fall off. You can't really expect a young child to use this independently and continue to want to do it. There is a cool factor but know it will require you, the adult, every time.
Disappointing . Learning Resources Gearbotics Robot Motorized Set This potentially great toy was a great disappointment because the gears broke after the first half hour of play. After reading other reviews, I saw that this is the normal situation with this toy. The plastic gears shredded into a pile of plastic shavings in the clear plastic "motor box." My grandson can still build robots with the parts (with a little adult help); but the motor doesn't work at all. This product is not worth the price and doesn't live up to the advertisement.
Amazing fun . We bought this for our five year old grandson, so he needed a little help, but he quickly caught on. You can build any old robot or follow the directions to make nifty ones like the motorcycle robot. After a two day blitz after Christams, he put it aside to play with other things, but he keeps coming back to it. Great for inquisitive kids who like to know how things work.

Cons Review
Hours of fun unless it breaks! . My 5-year-old son loves this robot. He plays with it for hours, building and rebuilding. However, it was an extreme disappointment when the first robot's motor broke on the first use. We returned the product and exchanged it for a new one. We have had it for a couple of months and it is still working. Keeping our fingers crossed because he loves it!
