Beware of single board computers

The company has never provided us with an activation for this product. You cannot use it without it. I am going to file a complaint with Amazon because they are not responding to me regarding product activation. Absolute waste of money and time

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • No instructions

It's hard to find an Android app that makes everything work

Completed the whole car. The last stop was to download the app and leave. The links provided are broken. I couldn't find the Android app in the App Store. I searched for two weeks to find the manufacturer's website and downloaded it directly from there. But the rest is very fun and cool. Easy assembly and driving pleasure.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • New competitors have emerged

View assembly video

The instructions were a bit short but the manufacturer provided a video that my kids and I could easily follow to complete the assembly. I had to connect some black wires from the right wheel motors to the Arduino to reach them. I might have done something wrong, but the default camera angle at launch is always a little weird - I have to adjust it every time we use it. Overall we had a great time with him and our dog loves to chase him.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Great product to learn from - great customer support!

5 stars for all product and customer support. The product is described in detail in the description, nothing is missing. You get what you get. I don't recommend this for beginners. As per one of the other reviews, if you are a beginner you will have a little problem. I had a problem with the CD that came with it, because who uses CDs these days? They have Dropbox support for what's on the CD and that was great. The only other issue I had was that either the IMG file or the WinDisk Imager would…

  • Absolutely amazing!

Very fun engineering project

Assembling the XiaoR GEEK Raspberry Pi robot car was a very fun project for me. The car was not only very difficult to build, but also not easy. The robot comes with a chassis with some printed instructions, two circuit boards with USB ports and an HDMI port, an SD card that broadcasts WiFi, four wheels with servo motors, a camera that moves on two servo motors, an ultrasonic sensor and a rechargeable battery. No serious electrical engineering is required to set up and connect the boards, just…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Ribbon

Great gift for computers and accessories

Bought for my 13 year old twin grandsons. They liked it. A challenging but fun activity for kids who love challenges and like to play around. They also enjoy their technology. also skills.

Pros
  • Multiple competitors
Cons
  • Clarity

written assembly The instructions for this toy were too small and incomprehensible and all on ONE PAGE is totally unacceptable. And the additional instruction DVD wouldn't even boot from two different machines. Better buy it assembled because with testing you never know if you assembled the hardware incorrectly, or if it's a problem with Python programming, or an issue with the OS not loading properly. Therefore, you may encounter a TRIPLE PROBLEM.

Pros
  • great for me
Cons
  • flimsy

All in all, a great introduction to robotics!

I would like to use this review to leave some useful tips for others who are considering purchasing the product. First, note that the assembly instructions that came with the robot are essentially a link to a YouTube video of a woman building the robot from start to finish. There are some subtitles to help you understand what's going on. It takes about 28 minutes but took me about 4 hours to assemble. Not bad considering it was my first time. When you're done, you'll want to download an app to…

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

Chinese language support - only not recommended for fluent English

It took me several hours to set up, then several months to connect to the phone. Surely there are better alternatives at a similar price. Here are the tricks that helped me. It's probably obvious if you can read the documentation. - The robot is a Wi-Fi hotspot. - The robot comes with a CD containing the APK needed to connect to the robot. If you download it from Google Play or elsewhere, you'll most likely get one that works with the platform but not the robot, meaning you'll see the webcam…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Not bad but...
