Toysmith 4 M Robot Duck #3648

My son and I built this as our 4th robot project. Once we had it built, I turned it on and it the legs (motor) couldn't drag the heavy body around. I picked it up and the legs were turning fine. I adjusted the angle of the legs and put in new batteries, and still no luck. I had to replace it with a different manufacturers robot.



Note: I should mention that this is the 2nd robot from this manufacturer that didn't work as advertised. They have a 'line tracing robot', a little Yellow one, that didn't work either. So beware!

Bought this for our grandson...a very bright 8 year old. With our help we finally got it put together in about an hour. It didn't work. The motor runs and the legs move but it won't walk on any surface, I am VERY sorry we bought it.

I bought this several months ago and helped four kids (ages 11, 9, 6, and 3) put it together. There was something that each of them could do and when it was finished they were all happy to have participated.



The toy walks faster than I expected (which makes it more fun). The kids have taken pretty good care of it but it has been dropped a few times and it still works just fine. It has been used many times for 'show-and-tell' and gets a lot of attention because it is an uncommon toy.



I had no problems with shipping, ordering, etc.

Our son has just had his 6th birthday and he is all about robots. We spent a long time looking at other reviews. This was a good find. He sat down with his dad and made the robot and then set up an obstacle course and a slope for the duck to come down. They had a great time and this was a perfect starting point for our son, who would like to be an inventor when he grows up!

My 7 y/o son put this together with minimal verbal help from his aunt. It took him less than one hour. It was a good experience for him to do, but he doesn't love to play with it now. It IS very durable, because my 2 y/o son loves to play with it now that it's together! He has thrown it on the floor numerous times and it's still going! Must be on a hard surface to walk. Great toy!
