Summary: Worst toy this Christmas
Comment: Both my Children received these from different relatives , the instructions are poor, the build quality worse. After half an hour of dull construction the 'fun' lasted 10 seconds before they were put back in the box - never to come out again.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: 1. Does the photo on the box (and the television ad) lead you to believe you will have three bugs working simultaneously? It led my son to believe that. He was disappointed.
2. Would you expect the bugs to work once you (and I mean you, and not your child) assemble all the bits? My son expected them all to work. He was disappointed.
3. If your job was manufacturing this product, would you expect to receive rave reviews? You'd be disappointed.

Summary: agree - dont waste your money
Comment: had the same problem as previous reviewer - damaged circuit - so the bug just moved slowly and buzzed.Retailer would not replace (not amazon - birthday gift).Even if working you can only make one bug at a time (they use the one basic circuit)- my daughter was really disappointed and cried. Very fiddly (and we buy/use a lot of science kits)Totally overpriced! (although amazon is £10 cheaper for this than the Science Museum)a bad toy

Summary: A good value toy
Comment: My son (now 11) has had this toy for a few years and still gets great satisfaction from building the robots and seeing them work. Some of the screws etc can be fiddly but we have found the product to be robust unlike the other reviewer. I would suggest the minimum age of 8 years is accurate as below this they probable won't handle some to the electronic components with sufficient care. Overall if you have a son and he likes building things and getting them to do something then I thoroughly recommend.

Summary: Well-received Christmas present
Comment: I bought this for my nephew (who is nearly 8) for Christmas and no sooner had he unwrapped it than he had it out of the box and was underway with the construction.

It kept him quiet for quite some time and he was really pleased when he had made his first robot and was getting it to move by the light of a torch.

A good gift that was a change from lego and one he can keep revisiting to make the different robots.


Editorial Reviews:

Robo-Bugs come with all the electronic circuits needed to build 3 different bugs! Simply build the circuits and swap the transparent bug bodies for 3 different effects! The 'guide' robot detects objects! The 'wake me' robot lurks in the dark and attacks at dawn! The 'remote' robot operates with any infrared TV remote control! Fun, unique and educational! This kit supports the National Curriculum. A wonderful way to encourage an interest in science.
