So far, everything about these robots has been pretty awesome! My 10 year old is now convinced that writing robot code is better than video games. Because, he says, it's like a puzzle game (and... See more

Delivery was prompt
Delivery was prompt. You’ve made “toy” that makes kids want to be creative and curious. That’s a +.
However just a few days later apparently it quit working. Someone else figured out it needed a software update. ???? Why would you not inform the user about these updates? The device showed no clue what was wrong. Maybe a blinking yellow light? With a guide sheet would be useful. We thought it was broken.

Right away the orange color of the bot…
Right away the orange color of the bot is great. We introduced the Edison with remote control. Super fun and everyone was engaged. Easy transition to block coding. After they finished the lesson, they asked to play with the tv remote control. Great package.

Much better than I had expected…
These robots were more than I had expected! My robotics students loved learning how to code and use the robots, but they especially loved being able to use technic bricks to modify them to do more! I was surprised to learn that they are easily used with IPads too!

My favorite part about my Edison robots…
My favorite part about my Edison robots (outside of how great they actually are) is how easy they were to order, and how fast they arrived. The robots themselves came with everything they need except the batteries, which are easily purchase EVERYWHERE.
