When I'm picking out a learning kit, top-notch quality is key, and this DIY tank robot kit nails it. Not only is the material grade A, but it also packs a solid punch with programming tools. I've dabbled in kits from other brands, but Keyestudio takes the cake for blending fun and learning seamlessly. Putting it together is a deep dive into Arduino programming, and honestly, it's a blast. Even if you're new to Arduino, like I was with my first Keyestudio project, it's no biggie. You can totally enjoy building and cruising around with the tank robot without diving deep into programming. And let me tell you, driving this thing is a hoot. It's called a Tank for a reason – it'll roll over just about anything. Can't wait to take it for a spin outside. It's loaded with cool features: LED lights, light tracking, remote control via IR or Bluetooth app, dodging obstacles, and following things around. Totally earns a five-star rating from me. And don't sweat the assembly part. It's straightforward with loads of pictures to guide you through. Keyestudio's got a knack for creating kits that are fun to assemble and drive, and great for getting your feet wet in coding with Arduino. I'm 80 and having the time of my life with this kit. So, to all the adults out there, don't think you're too old for this. Grab one for yourself and maybe another to build with your kid. Oh, and it's Mixly compatible, too. Comes with everything you need to build, program, and control it, all via IR remote.
The Motor Tank arrives in pieces inside a cardboard box, with each part neatly packed, and the more delicate bits like shields and sensors in their own little boxes. There's a bunch of tiny components, so heads up, it might be a bit of a challenge for the younger crowd to put together. The guides for assembly and coding are pretty sweet. Found a wiki for my model (KS0428) with all sorts of files on Dropbox. The coding guide is loaded with examples for each sensor and wraps up with three full-blown sample codes for maneuvering the tank with IR or Bluetooth. My kids are all over this tank. Here's the lowdown: Pros: Everything's packed with care, instructions are clear, and it's a total joy. Cons: Might be tough for kids to assemble solo, and there's no wrench for the nuts. Best have some pliers handy before you start putting it together. Would I recommend it? Heck yeah! My kids and I are having a blast.
Just checking it out online doesn't do this kit justice. Once you have it in your hands, you realize it's packed with potential activities for days, or even months. This isn't just a build-it-and-forget-it kit; it's a full-on robotics playground that'll get your creative juices flowing. What grabbed me was how many ways you can control this robot – IR, Bluetooth, ultrasound, light sensitivity. Initially, I was like, "Why all the options?" But now, I get it. Each control method is cool on its own, but combine them, and you're only limited by your imagination. I snapped some photos to show off the variety of parts it comes with. Even the mechanical components are top-notch, including sturdy flange bearings and fasteners. They've really thought of everything with this kit. Would I grab another? In a heartbeat. It's like getting multiple kits in one, making it the perfect launchpad for anyone curious about diving into robotics.
Got my hands on this tank kit and was seriously impressed. The online guide was a breeze to follow, everything from unboxing the well-organized and labeled parts to diving into the assembly. Screws and bits were sorted into their own bags, which made the whole process smooth. The manual covers both hardware setup and software deep dive, offering a choice between Arduino or Mixly for coding. Decided to give Mixly a go and it was a blast, especially seeing how it translates to Arduino code. Building and coding went off without a hitch, but it was good knowing support was there if needed. Definitely a thumbs up from me for anyone keen on getting into electronics and coding.
This bot's a steal, bringing everything to the table except the batteries. Powered my board with AA batteries, though it's suggested to use those beefier 18650 batteries for the motor. You're looking at around $27 for two batteries plus a charger. Assembly takes a bit, especially getting the servo motor positioned right. Found all the wiring help I needed online. To get it moving and grooving with obstacle avoidance and other tricks, you'll need Mixly and Arduino. Fair warning, it's a 2 to 4-hour build, and the instructions could be clearer with better pics.
Building this mini tank robot has been a delight. As a retired electronics tech, it's been perfect for getting up to speed with new tech. The metal construction is impressive, and the layout makes it easy to see how everything comes together. Each board and sensor is clearly marked and durable.

Chose this project to dip my toes into Bluetooth technology, and it's been educational for both youngsters and adults alike. Eager to dive into more robotics projects with this kit. Hats off to the team behind it.
Teamed up with my 12-year-old to assemble this robot, and we had a blast. It's a project brimming with possibilities, going together nicely. The only hiccup was not having the right nut-driver, but some needle-nose pliers and a later purchase of mini nut drivers did the trick. The instructions are kid-friendly, with our build featuring a cool LED matrix, ultrasonic and light sensors among other neat components. Lost a tiny nut in the process, so watch out, those parts are small! Had to snag a replacement from the hardware store. The website hosts about 15 different code samples, all well-explained, making it easy to tweak the robot's actions. Remember to disconnect the Bluetooth receiver before uploading code, a detail we missed a few times. Overall, it was a rewarding project to share with my son, and we're looking forward to playing with the code more.
Spent a few hours on this and ended up with a robot that dodges obstacles and can be controlled via Bluetooth. Everything fell into place once I got all the libraries up and running. Instructions were a breeze to follow. Definitely a solid pick for anyone looking to dip their toes into robot building. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Total tech enthusiast here, always tinkering and probably voiding warranties left and right. This kit blew me away with its organization right out of the box. Every tiny piece was marked and accounted for. Found some super helpful videos on YouTube and a bunch of resources via QR codes right when you open the box. Plus, a CD packed with all the manuals, codes, and even assembly videos. They've really put the effort into this kit, making it totally worth the investment.
This thing's versatile as heck. Great as a launching pad for all sorts of projects.
Had an absolute blast building this with my 10-year-old nephew. It strikes the perfect balance between challenging and accessible, keeping us both hooked. The programming side of things opens up a neat way to introduce kids to the basics of coding, playing with conditions, and whatnot. Even for me, messing around with the code was pretty fun.
