The robot assembles quickly and well. He follows a black line on paper. I suggest using electric sticky paper.
The Line Tracking Robot was not following the black tape line. I called Elenco and the engineers/tech support were patient and took the time to diagnosis & address my concern. Together we diagnosed the problem to be the black tubes surrounding the IR transmitter and thought the removal was the fix. After hanging up, the robot would not even recognize/detect the black line. The correct fix is to install the black tube and make sure the tubes are low enough to cover the outer cylindrical surface of the LED. In addition, I needed to switch the left motor connector such that the yellow wire is on the outside. I am now excited to use the robot for my childrens' science fair next week as a messenger for the winning entries during award ceremony. BTW, Robot Shop delivered the order on time and gave me tracking info so I knew when it was delivered.
This is a great starter kit, easy to assemble and fun for any age.
I used 7 of this kit with a group of 15 kids aged 12-16 and it was a really big hit. They all worked and the kids had a blast figuring out how to best make paths for them. We explored their capabilities, raced them and the kids even developed their own robotic sumo wrestling game. I highly recommend this kit great value for the price.
