The pieces don't stay together
Super cool toy in theory. But the small black pegs that connect gears aren't strong enough for gears to move—the whole operation just falls apart. Wheels on chain don't actually move. Frustrating.

Very frustrating
Kids don't play with it. Pieces don't stay together. Almost impossible for kids to assembly according to instructions .

Falls apart easily
After putting it together, it doesn't really move... keeps falling apart.

Great toy for 41/2 year old
My son loves playing with this. Since I helped him make the suggested robots, he has already used the pieces loads to make lots of weird and imaginative machines and robots. I was afraid he would be disappointed with the toy because its not an electronic robot (he had asked Santa for a robot) but it couldn't be further from the case. I am really pleased to see him independently making his own creations which is a step he has not made with Lego.

Not worth the money
I like that is allowed the kids to be creative to build different things but small parts and require adult assistance

Poor quality
Great colours, great build ideas. Our son was able to build the designs despite the fact that the instructions were too small and difficult to make out. On top of that, after minutes of play, some pieces didn't fit well, which means that the models break down often.

Missing pieces
This set did not have the correct number of parts so when the robot was built, improvising with what was available made it so that it didn’t move like it was supposed to. The plastic pieces also fall apart easily. There are no pulleys just gears that barely work together. Nice concept but doesn’t deliver.

A Robot For All Imaginations
Dotty really enjoyed creating robots from her imagination. She also loved being able to follow instructions like daddy does when building and putting all her pieces in piles for following the instructions step by step. Some pieces where hard to connect at the beginning but after a few creations they became easier to connect. The product comes in a handy storage box. All parts are nicely coloured to create out of this world robots and creatures.
