What independent reviewers found
- Teen reviewer found it fun to drive, followed lines and stopped at edges and obstacles; charges in about 15 minutes over USB. Calibration instructions were vague and the case was hard to open.
- GearBrain · 8/10
- Took about 55 minutes to fully charge and expected about 30 minutes of play. Rated its game modes and coding app above Sphero Bolt and DJI RoboMaster S1; criticized oversized packaging with little inside.
- Galaxus
- Hands on with a beta: line following worked well, but it skipped a couple of OzoCodes and ran into a finger when driven from the app. Measured 1.2 x 1.3 in and 0.8 oz.
- Tom's Guide
- Found the basics took almost no time to learn and the logic challenges fun even for an adult; highly recommended it for introducing young kids to coding.
