it was so easy to make it. It was so fun to build, but it was a little confusing to make, but I figured it out!

Putting together the robot was a great activity! It works well, and sparks a lot of questions. The one piece of constructive feedback I could give is the durability of the product. The first time the robot fell off the table the wood at the connection with the plastic leg bent, and began to crack. We noticed it wouldn't walk after that until we bent the plastic leg back into place, but the wood is very close to cracking. Aside from that I absolutely loved the product! The amount of background information included with the box and the zine made a very contextual and educational experience.

It worked great, but then the foot broke quickly. Not enough width around where the orange pegs connect.
