Doesn't ride well on my carpet :(

I was so excited Santa offered this robot to my 5 year old daughter - but this robot doesn't ride well on my carpet, what's up all playroom surfaces in the house! On carpet, the robot will not go straight, or turn exactly 90 degrees - like on hardwood - simply because the wheels will spin as it tries to pull itself/crawl along the carpet, making programming impossible , since you can't predict how the robot will drive straight lines or curves, I had to send it back.

Pros
  • High score for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Protection

A fun way for kids to learn to code!

Botley 2.0 is such a fun and inventive way to teach kids to code! Steam is very important in my house. And since we've been stuck at home for months with seemingly no end in sight, this is a great addition to our homeschooling! My 7 and 9 year olds are absolutely blown away by Botely 2.0 - and they have no idea that they are actually learning something really useful and important. I even learned something from Botley 2.0! If you are looking for screenless educational activities for your kids…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Bad purchase for seniors

Great robot for kids of all ages!

My kids (4, 7, 9 and 11 years old) enjoyed playing with this robot. It's easy to set up and I love that even preschoolers can use it (no reading required). All you have to do to program the robot is press the directional arrows to control the robot's movements. The set also includes flags, obstacles and fun tiles for track mapping. Great STEM toy and introduction to programming concepts. My older kids were able to do more complex functions like if/then statements, and there's a quick start…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Doubtful

A fun way for kids to learn coding for beginners!

I bought this toy for my daughter who just turned 5 years old. She loves to play with Botley and the programming is very easy and understandable for her. She loves that she can program different codes to transform Botley into a frog, train, ghost and more. I love that she can learn to code things in order and use if/then logic as she plays. This is a great toy for kids who love to learn about technology and I love that it's a screenless activity that encourages kids to use their thinking skills

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

Rating updated! Get a replacement for a broken one.

Updated review: I bought this on a perfect day and saved it for the start of our school year. It was broken, but Revain fixed everything, for which I am very grateful. THANK YOU AMAZONE! The replacement works perfectly and was shipped promptly. I never got a response from Learning Resources, which annoyed me a bit. We are usually happy with the brand, but it's a pity they don't endorse their products. It's a great concept, but it doesn't work. We received a broken one that only makes noise but…

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • old

May not work / Excellent customer service from LR, especially Maritza.

Imagine a 5 year old puts this on Santa's list for a gift that doesn't work in programming mode. I saw another parent post about the same problem. There must be a way to fix this. Also, I live in Haiti, so not only did I pay the premium price of $88 for it in December, I also had to pay $50 to get in touch with me. On the assembly line, you need to pay more attention to details. My son is still crying because of Santa's mischief. Updated: We don't know if there will be a third spell. But…

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Something different
