The required software appears to contain malware!

Despite the robot being beautiful, the MBlock software required for its operation appears to contain malware, either intentionally or unknowingly. It collects email addresses even if none of them have been sent. It then sends back phishing emails to trick the user into replying/reacting. Emails from two different Australian mobile phone companies greet a user with a random name and notify you that your prepaid subscription plan is being reviewed (or finalized). or the loan approval is almost…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Only available in black

Great little robot. Even better customer service

We had a difficult start. I bought 2 for 2 different grandchildren. One worked, the other didn't. Sent back, replacement didn't help either. My son is a software engineer so it's not because he didn't have the technical skills to read instructions etc. MBlock worked with us every step of the way until everything was fine and I have no doubt that they take our experience very seriously that this will not happen again. They stand behind their product 100%! I'm glad we stayed there because I think

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Simple code program, easy assembly.

We liked it. Collected with children aged 6 and 5 years. I helped collect a few items. The robot already has the codes installed. When you start using it, you don't have to do it programmatically. The remote control is synchronized with the robot. The letter ABC stands for another mode. Mode A is manual control, mode b is I couldn't find him because he only moves, mode c follows the black line. He has a website where you can learn how to program or assemble. It does not include the batteries…

Makeblock Mbot Robot Kit - almost perfect. . . Nearly!

MakeBlock mBot is a really great product. What a wonderful early introduction to robotics and programming. The instructions were clear. Our 9 year old mostly assembled it by himself. Our 7 year old assembled it with help and guidance. Both were passionate about what they were doing. The robot can be used with the remote control directly after assembly. It can also be coded and used with Bluetooth technology via a smartphone or tablet. I have two doubts about the product. First, it would be nice

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Obsolete
