Review on Master the Art of Mechanical Construction with ROKR Building Construction Mechanical Pendulum by Matt Williams

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Like to build.

Would give a 4.5 if I could. Just a few questions. Instructions are just graphics and not always easy to understand. I think there are a few guides online, but I got by with my trusty magnifying glass. Another problem was that the spacers used several very thin pieces that required inserting a square pin into a round hole. I don't know why they didn't use the same thickness of material as all the other parts, with the correctly shaped hole they went into. In any case, it facilitated the destruction of the fragments. They provided extras for everyone but on one occasion I broke one and its extras. A little super glue solved that problem and this is the only time I've had to use glue. I didn't put my hopes in it, in fact I kept the time and I personally don't care. I can't keep it on for more than half an hour. I'm still working on some adjustments, so I'm hoping it runs a little longer in one go. Reading this again, I know it sounds a bit negative, but that wasn't my intention. I really enjoyed building it and I think it's well done.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Mostly good, but...
