It is dissapointed that to receive the default ultrasonic sensor and light sensor which can't work well.

I bought it back in April this year. I'm very happy with my purchase. Assembling the various models is as easy as playing with regular LEGO and programming is a breeze if you use the visual programming tool that comes with the kit. I, however, prefer using robotC since it gives me much more control and is way more powerful than the visual tool. Its hard to ever get bored with this kit :)

This is a very good set 2009-09-02

I really like it. All of the programming were very useful.I wish it was a bit more educational. Its really durable and will not break. This summer I have already built more than 30-40 projects at nxtprograms.com I highly recommend this to people. (I am ten years old.)

I bought it for my son (9 years old) as present as he is learning this robot in his robotic class as well. He just love it, he explores with the programming himself and we sit down and troubleshoot the problems he faced together. The tutorial is good enough for him to kick-start without my help, this is amazing. Other than fun, this is a good product for education and build up relationship. Frankly, I love it too, I never have chance to play this kind of toy at my age, only can imagine. Nothing bad to imaginaion, turning imagination to action is what we wants today. This is one small step, giant foot.

Poor Customer Service from Koolflix24 K. Adamson 2009-08-03

I had to give all single stars because it required a rating -- but I can't rate the item because we never received the items or an email from the vendor (Koolflix24) informing us that the items were on back-order or any communication from the vendor at all. We ended up having to cancel the class and had several extremely disappointed young people.
