Okay but you need to know a few things

I went ahead and bought a kit that comes with a Raspberry Pi and a micro SD card. This can be a problem for some and you should consider buying your own Pi and micro SD depending on your skills and the type of project you want. The full kit comes with a Raspberry Pi 4B (2GB RAM) and an 8GB Micro SD card, and the full Raspberry Pi OS complained when I tried to install it. The Lite version (no GUI or additional apps) installs easily, but you'll need to be familiar with Linux to set up the Wi-Fi…

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • It's hard to say

DO NOT BUY - Science Kits & Toys

Our control modules are blown. Our Raspberry Pi didn't read the ultrasonic sensor. We are instructional engineers and have built robotic vehicles from the ground up. The instructions are unclear and the polarity on some diagrams is incorrect when pieced together from the brochure.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Poor explanation of the coding in the manual

First robot car purchase and I am very dissatisfied. I spent hours putting it together just to be wary based on reviews of broken parts. The coding in the book was not explained well, even if you follow it word for word you will still get errors. I've tried resources on the web that helped to some extent but didn't remove all the hurdles. I have experience with various linux operating systems and python programming and so far have found it annoying just trying to build this. SunFounder's…

Pros
  • Availability
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings, everything is fine

Great way to learn about Rasberry Pis

I built this with my son and it was a great experience. I've never used a Raspberry Pi before. This kit is a great introduction. The kit comes with detailed instructions on how everything works. And it's just cool to be able to drive with a camera. Definitely worth the money.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
