Solid kit, just follow instructions closely

This was my second ROKR marble machine to assemble and it assembled well just follow instructions.I knocked it one star as the motion on this model is focused on the lift and just one marble at a time moves which makes it a less "action packed” compared to the Marble Parlour which has many marbles in play at once.

Pros
  • More time consuming to assemble than we expected. But fun
Cons
  • Seller ignored attempts to get replacement parts when item came with missing parts ie: no instructions

After all the work, it did not run properly.

Although it was fun putting it together, the lift coaster does not work. The balls are not lifted high enough to enter the ramp. This is due to the first part of the ramp not fitting properly. It is too high for the ball to fall into and it cannot be lowered as it fits into a tab and can only be pushed down so far.A couple of other ramp pieces do not fit properly either. The crank and gear mechanism works great as far as it goes. And, if a ball is placed on the very top ramp manually, it…

Pros
  • Neat
Cons
  • Requires close attention to detail, which can be frustrating for some

Best Present EVER! good for me

Beautiful puzzle. My teen spends hours building it, keeps her off devices and teaches her about engineering.It’s taking her about 3-4 days to finish it, but she only works on it until it becomes frustrating, then walks away for a while.Each piece is laser cut to perfection! It pops right out, doesn’t get stuck and with minimal sanding.My 6 year old wants to help, and he totally can—if she lets him. It’s like one of those lego sets but with wood, actual mechanics. It’s different in all the good…

Pros
  • This was fun as well as challenging to assemble. Lots of fun to operate.
Cons
  • May be too difficult for younger children to assemble

Pretty great! for my opinion

Bought this as a gift for my 9yo son. He needed some help putting it together as the wood is a tight fit so it holds together (good thing) just not super easy for his little fingers. I ended up breaking a couple pieces that were a little too narrow, but it created some laughs about my strength b/w my son and I. Overall a good product with tiny little nuances that need to follow the directions EXACTLY or you'll end up having to make slight adjustments. I'd buy it again!

Pros
  • 1.85 pounds
Cons
  • Assembly instructions may be difficult to follow

Hard to put together, very flimsy

After being very tedious and complicated to put together, it is not sturdy enough to work properly. very disappointing

Pros
  • MECHANICAL CHARM - The building model kit uses use gear trains, cams, ratchets and cranks to make the mini-machines move. Laser-cut wood is durable with smooth surface. Every part fit well together. No tools or glue required.
Cons
  • Not suitable for those with mobility or vision impairments

We did it! Good family project. Pretty awesome really!

Received as a gift from family. With careful attention to detail and physics, we completed the structure without any issues. Pieces popped out appropriately, although some of the smaller pegs took a screwdriver to chisel out with care. Works well. Pretty awesome really!

Pros
  • Brain Teasers
Cons
  • May not be suitable for those with limited patience

Very precisely built and very clear instructions.

As in previous similar models from ROKR, the instructions are very clear and the parts are very precise. At the completion of this one, I had several small numbered pieces left; presumably ones that were felt to possibly break. Here are a few possible improvements:1. Page 12 - part D36 left end does not connect to part D29, at this point.but finally does on Step 16, page 14. Maybe a note to advise of this, would be helpful.2. Part Z on Step 44 does not fit in place unless I removed the…

Pros
  • Fun to build
Cons
  • Pieces can become easily misplaced or lost

Received a different product

I ordered 4 different kinds of puzzle but somehow I received one identical product. By the time I discovered, it is too late to return. Oh well, check the items upon receipt.

Pros
  • No
Cons
  • Wooden pieces may be easily marked or scratched

Some parts need tweaking.

I am so frustrated. got to the end and was installing part A-7 and it tension caused it to break. glued it together and added some support to the bottom, reinserted it and it broke elsewhere. And I can't find where I can buy replacement parts.

Pros
  • IDEAL GIFT & FINE ORNAMENT - This wooden puzzle is an amazing gift for adults and teens at any occasion, like birthday, Easter Day, Christmas, Mother's Day. In addition, it can be a unique display at home or office.
Cons
  • Heavy marble may damage some surfaces

Fantastic gift good for me

I got this as a gift for my 11 year old daughter and she loves it. She did need a little help here and there, but she is very mechanically inclined and this was an amazing gift. I'll certainly get other similar products in the future.

Pros
  • Fun to assrmble
Cons
  • Can be time-consuming to put together

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Can be frustrating.

I bought this thinking it would be fun to put together. Same of the parts are very thin, about the size of a toothpick. And will break very easily. The directions don't always make sense, making you wonder what they mean.If you have the patience of Job, and the steady hands of a surgeon, you may enjoy this.

Pros
  • DIY AUTOMATA KIT - This ROKR wooden puzzle is made of sturdy plywood. Once assembled, turn the crank, watch the steel marbles run crazy down the tracks, much like a roller coaster ride. Loads of fun to play with family or kids.
Cons
  • Can be frustrating when pieces don't fit together well

SEE IT IN MOTION best in my review

I USED THIS AS TIME EATER DURING THE COVID. TOOK ABOUT 10 HOURS. TAKE YOUR TIME, IT'S NOT A RACE. THESE ARE HIGHLY ACCURATE LASER CUT PIECES. THE PIECES COME OUT OF THE SHEET EASLY. THE WOOD IS 1/8" PLYWOOD THAT IS VERY STRONG. I GLUED MANY OF THE PIECES TOGETHER TO ADD A LITTLE WEIGHT AND RIGIDITY ALTHOUGH IT'S NOT REQUIRED. IF YOU GLUE, MAKE SURE YOU YOU DON'T GLUE PARTS THAT NEED TO ROTATE. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU FULLY ENGAGE THE SLOTS COMPLETELY. OF COURSE " MADE IN CHINA".TWEEZERS AND EXACTO…

Pros
  • 9.92 x 8.94 x 7.99 inches
Cons
  • Can be messy during construction, with sawdust or wood chips left behind

This is a fun thing to build

This is a fun thing to build, only problem I am missing parts. I am short a P4 and a P5, and can find no support number. I will just get some round stock I can use, but still this was not a cheap kit to come up missing parts. I do not want to return it, I am half way in to the build! Just frustrating I am stuck until I can make my own rods to replace them. Maybe this is why a lightning deal? Thanks!

Pros
  • Interactive
Cons
  • Potential for small pieces to be a choking hazard

Best quarantine activity

This is really fun to build and use. I’ve been recommending it to everyone as a quarantine activity. Clear instructions, engaging, and nice finished product.

Pros
  • This was a gift and still waiting on her thoughts but she seemed to like it.
Cons
  • Can be expensive compared to other educational toys

Great fun for an older family.

We had completed a few puzzles during quarantine and were looking for something more challenging. We completed all 4 marble runs and couldn’t be happier. My wife, my teenage daughter, and myself spent about 4 hours each.The directions are user friendly and the wood is very sturdy. Be careful to take your time and follow the directions.

Pros
  • STEM EDUCATIONAL TOYS - The ROKR puzzle combines mechanical engieering with playful games. It invloves spacial thinking, hand-eye coordination and some imagination. It's more than a pleasant family project, but also a learning toy to improve concentration,creativity, fine motor skills. After completing, the sense of accomplishment is overwhelming.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to transport once assembled

So-so puzzle best in my review

Not as good as some of the other ROKR kits. Like other reviewers, the elevator cradle had a hard time making it up to the top. Ramps were not as well designed as a similar structure I built from ROKR. This kit needs some retooling.

Pros
  • Toys & Games
Cons
  • May not have as much replay value as other toys
