This was a fantastic deal, especially for someone who is just getting started with Arduino.

It also gave me a reason to learn how to solder, which is easier than I imagined it would be.

The kit itself had all of the necessary parts to get my 'bot up and running. The documentation was clear, and I was able to get the 'bot moving on the first try. The sample codes were enough for me to get an idea of what each line means, and I just ordered more parts to build another.

Here's a short vid of the 'bot in action, https://youtu.be/_1xbTw24q9g

For someone who hasn't dabbled in robotics much, it was nice to have everything in one kit. My only complaint is the box became weak and tore where the motors mounted after a few days of heavy use. I didn't expect the box to live too long.

I ordered 4 of these Redbox Robots for Christmas gifts. Was shocked to see no assembly instructions inside -- just a slip of paper with a URL. But that URL went to a 404 error page. One of my 4 boxes didn't even have that slip of paper. Once I finally found the instructions after searching the website, it required way more soldering than anticipated. When I bought the kit, the video showed a breadboard with no soldering. Soldering wasn't mentioned in the description. That soldering was required eliminated this as a gift possibility for most of the people I had in mind. I ended up donating these to a local high school. Hopefully they can use the parts. Very shoddy documentation and a misleading product description/video. Terrible experience.

This was truly an excellent start in building a robot. The parts were easily assembled; instructions excellent. I love that the box is the body of the robot! Thanks for putting together a great kit that was not intimidating to do. The RedStick is amazing and I went back and ordered 2 more including the other Redbox robot parts so my kids build their own robots (as the kit was sold out by then!). Hope more projects like this are in the works.
