Top picks just for you
When I'm picking out a learning kit, top-notch quality is key, and this DIY tank robot kit nails it. Not only is the material grade A, but it also packs a solid punch with programming tools. I've dabbled in kits from other brands, but Keyestudio takes the cake for blending fun and learning seamlessly. Putting it together is a deep dive into Arduino programming, and honestly, it's a blast. Even if you're new to Arduino, like I was with my first Keyestudio project, it's no biggie. You can totally enjoy building and cruising around with the tank robot without diving deep into programming. And let me tell you, driving this thing is a hoot. It's called a Tank for a reason – it'll roll over just about anything. Can't wait to take it for a spin outside. It's loaded with cool features: LED lights, light tracking, remote control via IR or Bluetooth app, dodging obstacles, and following things around. Totally earns a five-star rating from me. And don't sweat the assembly part. It's straightforward with loads of pictures to guide you through. Keyestudio's got a knack for creating kits that are fun to assemble and drive, and great for getting your feet wet in coding with Arduino. I'm 80 and having the time of my life with this kit. So, to all the adults out there, don't think you're too old for this. Grab one for yourself and maybe another to build with your kid. Oh, and it's Mixly compatible, too. Comes with everything you need to build, program, and control it, all via IR remote.
The Motor Tank arrives in pieces inside a cardboard box, with each part neatly packed, and the more delicate bits like shields and sensors in their own little boxes. There's a bunch of tiny components, so heads up, it might be a bit of a challenge for the younger crowd to put together. The guides for assembly and coding are pretty sweet. Found a wiki for my model (KS0428) with all sorts of files on Dropbox. The coding guide is loaded with examples for each sensor and wraps up with three full-blown sample codes for maneuvering the tank with IR or Bluetooth. My kids are all over this tank. Here's the lowdown: Pros: Everything's packed with care, instructions are clear, and it's a total joy. Cons: Might be tough for kids to assemble solo, and there's no wrench for the nuts. Best have some pliers handy before you start putting it together. Would I recommend it? Heck yeah! My kids and I are having a blast.
Just checking it out online doesn't do this kit justice. Once you have it in your hands, you realize it's packed with potential activities for days, or even months. This isn't just a build-it-and-forget-it kit; it's a full-on robotics playground that'll get your creative juices flowing. What grabbed me was how many ways you can control this robot – IR, Bluetooth, ultrasound, light sensitivity. Initially, I was like, "Why all the options?" But now, I get it. Each control method is cool on its own, but combine them, and you're only limited by your imagination. I snapped some photos to show off the variety of parts it comes with. Even the mechanical components are top-notch, including sturdy flange bearings and fasteners. They've really thought of everything with this kit. Would I grab another? In a heartbeat. It's like getting multiple kits in one, making it the perfect launchpad for anyone curious about diving into robotics.
Got my hands on this tank kit and was seriously impressed. The online guide was a breeze to follow, everything from unboxing the well-organized and labeled parts to diving into the assembly. Screws and bits were sorted into their own bags, which made the whole process smooth. The manual covers both hardware setup and software deep dive, offering a choice between Arduino or Mixly for coding. Decided to give Mixly a go and it was a blast, especially seeing how it translates to Arduino code. Building and coding went off without a hitch, but it was good knowing support was there if needed. Definitely a thumbs up from me for anyone keen on getting into electronics and coding.
This bot's a steal, bringing everything to the table except the batteries. Powered my board with AA batteries, though it's suggested to use those beefier 18650 batteries for the motor. You're looking at around $27 for two batteries plus a charger. Assembly takes a bit, especially getting the servo motor positioned right. Found all the wiring help I needed online. To get it moving and grooving with obstacle avoidance and other tricks, you'll need Mixly and Arduino. Fair warning, it's a 2 to 4-hour build, and the instructions could be clearer with better pics.
Building this mini tank robot has been a delight. As a retired electronics tech, it's been perfect for getting up to speed with new tech. The metal construction is impressive, and the layout makes it easy to see how everything comes together. Each board and sensor is clearly marked and durable. The online assembly guide is spot on, with clear diagrams and illustrations. Chose this project to dip my toes into Bluetooth technology, and it's been educational for both youngsters and adults alike. Eager to dive into more robotics projects with this kit. Hats off to the team behind it.
Teamed up with my 12-year-old to assemble this robot, and we had a blast. It's a project brimming with possibilities, going together nicely. The only hiccup was not having the right nut-driver, but some needle-nose pliers and a later purchase of mini nut drivers did the trick. The instructions are kid-friendly, with our build featuring a cool LED matrix, ultrasonic and light sensors among other neat components. Lost a tiny nut in the process, so watch out, those parts are small! Had to snag a replacement from the hardware store. The website hosts about 15 different code samples, all well-explained, making it easy to tweak the robot's actions. Remember to disconnect the Bluetooth receiver before uploading code, a detail we missed a few times. Overall, it was a rewarding project to share with my son, and we're looking forward to playing with the code more.
Spent a few hours on this and ended up with a robot that dodges obstacles and can be controlled via Bluetooth. Everything fell into place once I got all the libraries up and running. Instructions were a breeze to follow. Definitely a solid pick for anyone looking to dip their toes into robot building. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Total tech enthusiast here, always tinkering and probably voiding warranties left and right. This kit blew me away with its organization right out of the box. Every tiny piece was marked and accounted for. Found some super helpful videos on YouTube and a bunch of resources via QR codes right when you open the box. Plus, a CD packed with all the manuals, codes, and even assembly videos. They've really put the effort into this kit, making it totally worth the investment.
This thing's versatile as heck. Great as a launching pad for all sorts of projects.
Had an absolute blast building this with my 10-year-old nephew. It strikes the perfect balance between challenging and accessible, keeping us both hooked. The programming side of things opens up a neat way to introduce kids to the basics of coding, playing with conditions, and whatnot. Even for me, messing around with the code was pretty fun.
Assembly was straightforward but the instructions could be clearer. Some of the YouTube guides were a bit of a miss too. Managed to get it all working in the end. Starting with Arduino projects was pretty simple and got more interesting as we went along. My kids and I are enjoying it big time.
Dived into this project to get a handle on C++ coding...

In the STEM and robotics teaching scene, always on the lookout for cool, educational kits. Went for a tracked robot this time and it was a hit. The kit's packed with quality parts, and I'm a fan of the brand for its top-notch boards and clear instructions. This kit stands out with its tracks and LED matrix design, making it uniquely appealing. What I appreciate most is the Mixly coding environment. It's great for teaching logic over syntax, thanks to its intuitive drag-and-drop code blocks. This feature allows for quick demonstrations and modifications of the bot's behavior. Highly recommend this kit for educators.
Putting this together was a blast, diving into motor and infrared control, playing with light sensors and ultrasound for distance measuring, not to mention hooking it up to a smartphone via Bluetooth. The instructions are top-notch, walking you through C++ programming with the Arduino IDE. They've also got this graphical programming language called Mixly which is perfect for beginners or kids. Ran into a minor hiccup with some wire colors not matching the manual, but the circuit board labels cleared that up. Transferring code from the PDF needs a bit of tweaking, especially for comments and LED-matrix definitions. Just a heads up, you'll need to grab your own batteries for both the robot and its remote.
This kit's quality is through the roof, from the development board to the sensors, and it's all laid out so well. There's a mix of acrylic and metal parts that beef up the durability. For the price, you're getting a ton of value, especially if you're keen on learning Arduino or just want to mess with some cool tech features. You can steer this tank with an IR remote or a Bluetooth-connected phone, track light, dodge or follow objects with its ultrasonic sensor, and it even has a fancy LED panel that shows what it's up to. Definitely a must-have for any tech enthusiast.
This kit's packaging is a neat freak's dream, with everything well organized and labeled. Even the bags for screws are clearly marked, which might seem small but is super helpful. The online instructions are easy to follow, and my 7-year-old got most of it put together without much help from me. There's a ton of stuff to explore, from blinking lights to controlling it with Bluetooth. The boards themselves look super clean, a nice touch compared to others I've used. Programming-wise, it's versatile, offering many levels to learn and grow in coding and robotics.
Just finished assembling and wiring the robot, and I had a great time with it. Fitting the batteries in was a bit tricky after assembly, but I'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Some spots were tough for screwing things in place, but overall, it's a solid five-star kit in my book.
The unboxing experience was impressive, with everything neatly arranged and intact. The instructions are clear, making it an educational venture into electronics. It's best if kids under 14 have an adult around to help out with the assembly. A fantastic learning tool overall!
Built this with my two kids, 10 and 11, their first crack at something like this. They managed most of the assembly themselves with minimal guidance. Given the variety and value packed in this kit, it's definitely worth the price. Very pleased with this purchase.
