I decided to purchase this Kit for my son's birthday. The concept of creating 12 different robots powered by solar energy seemed interesting. However, the assembly process turned out to be quite challenging, especially for my son who is in the recommended age group. While the kit provided a good learning opportunity. Overall, it was an okay purchase for a birthday gift, but I wish the assembly process was easier for kids.

The Pakoo 12-in-1 Solar Robot Kit is an amazing STEM toy for kids! My 7-year-old absolutely loves it, and it’s been both fun and educational. The kit allows you to build 12 different robots, which keeps the excitement going as there’s always something new to create. It’s solar-powered, so no batteries are needed—an excellent way to introduce kids to renewable energy concepts while they play.Building the robots challenges their problem-solving and motor skills while keeping them entertained for hours. The materials are sturdy, and the parts fit together well, making it a durable set.It’s a great hands-on learning tool that promotes creativity and curiosity about science and engineering. The robots can even move once assembled, which adds an extra layer of excitement! This would make a fantastic gift for birthdays or holidays for any child who loves building and experimenting.Highly recommend this kit for both boys and girls who enjoy STEM projects!

This is a really neat starter kit for a relatively younger child with a budding interest in robotics, electronics, etc. The intended ages 8-12 are pretty accurate, if not slightly too low. So if you have a 14-year-old with a more serious interest in these topics, this kit might seem limited and a bit boring. On the other hand, if you have an 8-year-old with no experience with this type of toy, it might be overwhelming -- but in this case, you can help out.Checking out other reviews, I think the consensus is clear that the age range, 8-12, is a bit too low, at least for most 8- or 9-year-olds. Your child(ren) may have different levels of experience and knowledge, so use your best judgment.Also, speaking of other reviews, two big thumbs down to the reviewer who writes a review that very specifically insist this toy is only for boys. This product is not gendered in any way, and it's a shame any reviewer, let alone one of my fellow Vine reviewers, is going to inject sexism and exclusionary language into a review of an educational toy. This product is 100% suitable for any child of the appropriate age or experience level.It goes without saying that this is a stimulating, educational toy that promotes curiosity and study of scientific topics. It's also pretty fun, and at the right age (or with the right amount of adult assistance) this is a very nice kit for children.This is not as versatile as more complex, interoperable robotics kits, where a more advanced child would be able to build creatively, combine parts from multiple kits, etc. Those types of kits are better for the 13, 14, 15 year old sort of age bracket, but for the price, that's forgivable. It's not a terrible thing if/when a child grows out of this toy and is interested in the more complex kits -- and this one can be passed on to a younger child.

I ordered this for my 9-year-old grandson to do when he comes to visit. I underestimated just how long it would take to even get started as there are a lot of pieces that have to be taken about first. Even though it recommended for 8-12 years olds, I'd lean more towards the 10+ range unless they have a lot of patience compared to others in their age group. Once you get past that, I think it's a fun and educational kit, especially for the reasonable price.

This is a fun solar robot kit that my son enjoyed building and then playing with. The best part is that the 12-in-1 feature meant that once he finished building the first robot configuration he still had 11 more types of robots to turn it into. Because the instructions were clear, my son had no trouble putting the robot together by himself. The quality of the kit is excellent and the fact that it's solar powered adds an additional educational element about renewable energy to it. The 12 different robots work when built correctly and my son enjoyed showing he me all of them! I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for a fun solar powered robot kit that's also educational.

I enjoy selecting innovative toys that not only entertain children but also contribute to their learning as they play and construct. This experience was incredibly enriching and provided us with valuable time to collaborate on assembling it and experimenting with various aspects. It struck a wonderful balance between being educational and enjoyable.

I got these robotic toy kits for two kids 6 and 8 years old. The package is shown in the pictures. I have gotten robotic toy kits before, as the toy allows the kids to gain hands-on experience in assembling things and learn some basic concepts of science and engineering with adults' help. In this case, solar energy conversion into electrical energy to drive motors. Also mechanically, how gears and wheels work. The toy is a 12 in 1 set, and 12 different robots can be built, except disassembling is needed going from one to another (a negative). The kids will be awarded with a finished toy that they can play with. I do not expect the kid(s) to finish all 12, since it takes lots of patience and time, and the parts may break after building a few versions. Let them pick 1 or 2 they like to start the project.I do not expect kids to fully assemble them on their own. Usually, I got them and guided them and figured out the steps along the way. Taught them some things about mechanical and electrical concepts during the assembly to grow their interest and knowledge. It is not a one time thing and hopefully after a few toy assemblies, the kids will understand the concept, and how to assemble things better and better. More importantly, is whether they have the focus, patience to complete a project thoroughly.
