I ordered the rover with Arduino and XBee motor controller. I didn't realize that we had to assemble the whole gearbox too ! It was a great learning experience for my son because the gearbox has several versions and we had to figure out which one we were building. There were several problems with the Arduino app not communicating, and figuring out how to get it all working. YouTube helped and we got it up and running. I ordered this kit because I wanted a learning experience-and I got it !!

very good and nice starterkit
When the kit came delivered. I unpacked de package, and was a bit surpriced about the many parts. But with the good guidance you can download from the site, I put it correct together in a couple of hours. in the Guidance is written that some batteries have the wires swapped, this was also with the battery that came with my kit. This could luckily easily be changed to the correct positions. Also at first the test programs didn't work, after a bit of playing I found the problem, because when I typed over the programs they worked. Now I'm progressing along with more things to try out with the rover.

Good robot
The robot was good but a little small for my application. But i was able to use the shield and the travk system to make a bigger platform

So far, great kit.
Still assembling it, but with good online instructions, the project seems succesful. Maybe something missing to a USB charger for the LiPo battery. Great kit.

Good, But not much room for extra hardwear
It works, but there is not much room for extra hardware, i had to build a small case that went over it, so i could fit my ultrasonic sensor and breadboard on top.
