Delightful! on my review.

I got this for my son. The box art did not impress him as he found it a bit too youngish for him.so I got to build it. Right off the bat, let me say that this thing looks a lot like a Lego product, and as I built it, I found it hard to not think of it as a Lego model. The build was straightforward, presenting no issues. I did the project in about an hour, going at a leisurely pace. You get five bags of parts, a remote control, and a USB charging cable. Two AAA batteries power the remote. I was short one piece, but it's not an important one. They give you a few extra small pieces. What attracted me to this robot was its similarity to the Micronaut Microtron from Mego's old toy line. The robot is a decent size.about that of a set of over-the-ear headphones. It took about twenty minutes to get a decent charge on the robot. The remote makes him go forward and backward on his plastic treads, and he can turn left or right.nothing complicated. The thing is FAST! It's got some noise to it, but nothing obnoxious. Now.the cool thing about this is that the motorized section can be used as a base to build anything you want with regular Legos. Easily, this can be made into a much larger robot, or a small tank. There are a few small parts, so watch out with the little kids. I found it to be a fun little project and a lot of fun to watch him tear around the room. The cat was intimidated, but unable to knock it over. Fans of Short Circuit will like the eyebrows they gave him. As I'm writing this, I have him watching, and it's charming as can be. My son took a liking to it after he saw that it wasn't exactly a kiddie toy, having some moxie to it. And when he saw he could use his own Legos to modify it, he changed his mind about having it
