Review on Discover the Power of πŸ” ELEGOO Tracking Ultrasonic Intelligent Educational Technology by Corey Randolph

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Could be better for learning and education

I have to say the presentation of this product is great. The components appear to be of good quality. The build process is very simple, but this is where my troubles start. It seems that the company decided to make it so reliable that the instructions don't give anything away. You collect things in a form, a child of any age can do it, but you can hardly understand what you are doing. They say they have records, but they are poorly organized. You need some experience to understand what they mean. But that's not the worst. Once assembled, you connect your car to your computer, try to upload a sketch and you get all kinds of error messages. Some sketches work, some don't. You can control the car through the app, but it's the equivalent of assembling a toy. You do not learn anything. The corresponding sketch when you want to upload that specific part is not uploaded. For example, once assembled, it was preinstalled by the manufacturer with some sort of program. It followed my instructions remotely for a while and then stopped. After I figured out how to upload specific sketches, it started responding to the remote but stopped again. In summary, the product raises the highest expectations of the presentation and all advertised features. The reality can be a little disappointing. If there is learning experience, it will be learning troubleshooting.
