In the beginning, I was worried that the product would be damaged during transportation. But the packaging kept everything in great shape for shipping. The only disappointing thing is it let me wait a little longer, about 19 days I got it.
The robotic arm was used for a major building project in my Robotics class. This robot uses Python programming. it helps children and grown-ups learn about Science, tech, engineering, and math. What more, the instruction manual was quite easy to follow. I love it!!!

His small robotic arm is easy to assemble and can do many things. Bluetooth is controlled by your mobile phone, and IR is controlled by the remote control. In Bluetooth, you can download their app from the mobile store to control it.
I have experience with arduino starter kits before, and I would definitely recommend it. If you don’t use Arduino beforehand, this is a very good product to help you learn.
In addition to providing Bluetooth control, the myAGV car in the kit also has a remote control, allowing you to choose to install it on the car and use the remote control to move the car. It does include various tutorials and videos, but it can also be developed according to your own needs. Later, I learned that it not only supports arduino, but also supports Python, C++, myblockly, RoboFlow, mystudio, etc.; I think this may be a good one Opportunities, I will learn these and develop

Because I want to learn robotics and programming, I have chosen this robotic arm set for a long time. This is a great product. Because I have no experience, the customer service recommends me to learn to use and download the necessary materials and programs according to gitbook. But when I read gitbook, I found that some of it was in Chinese and was not translated. For me The content is difficult to understand, so I found the customer service again, and she quickly translated the Chinese part for me, and told me which part of the information and software I needed. I can easily learn and download the required materials and Arduino programs. The customer service is very helpful to my problem. I hope this company will continue to work hard.
I am very satisfied, I recommend buying this product! ! !

I bought this as a gift for my grandson at the age of 18. I chose it because it has a complete learning robot tutorial. It became my grandson’s first robot, and he can learn robotics better. I heard that he really likes it. I grew up in the Erector suit, so I think this is an easy and fun way to learn STEM technology. It is reasonably priced, so if he likes it over time, I can be satisfied with other series of products in the future.
