Price and overview
$99.00 (list price $109.79)
This is a programmable robot arm mounted on a wheeled car chassis, controlled by an ESP32 microcontroller. It's designed for kids to build themselves, then control via remote or mobile app to move around and operate the arm's grabbing mechanism.
What it does
- 5-axis robotic arm. Grab, lift, and place objects using a multi-joint arm structure.
- App and remote control. Operate the robot via iOS/Android mobile app or infrared remote for arm and chassis movement.
- Omnidirectional wheels. Mecanum wheels allow drifting, diagonal movement, and tight turning for varied navigation.
- Pre-programmed out of the box. Comes with software already installed, so assembly leads directly to operation without additional coding setup.
- Expandable design. Accepts modular add-ons like cameras, tank tracks, and solar panels (sold separately) to extend capabilities as skills grow.
- Building and coding learning. Hands-on assembly teaches mechanical principles while coding tutorials introduce robot control concepts.
Power and warranty
The kit requires batteries to operate, which are not included. The listing does not specify what type or how many.
Good to know before you buy
- Batteries not included. You'll need to supply your own—check the product manual for the specific type and quantity required.
- Paper manual only. Instructions come as printed documentation, not digital or video format.
- 16 guided tutorials provided. These teach coding and robot control but are included with the kit.
- Modular accessories sold separately. Any camera, track, or solar panel upgrades cost extra.
In the box
The kit includes the 5DOF robotic arm, ESP32-powered chassis with Mecanum wheels, uniform screws for assembly, and a paper user manual with 16 guided tutorials. Batteries are not included.
Who it suits
This kit is aimed at ages 8–12 for building and basic operation, though the coding tutorials are geared toward ages 12–14 and up. It works well for kids interested in hands-on mechanical projects and learning to code robotics. It's less suitable for children who prefer passive play or lack patience for assembly and guided learning. Older teens looking to expand their skills after mastering the basics can add modules later.
