OMWay STEM 12-in-1 Solar Robot Toys, Yellow

EDIT: seller sent out a newer model with correct white gear and I can confirm the robot now functions as it should and is a great product for kids to enjoy and experiment with different movements of robots. —————— DO NOT BUY! As mentioned in many reviews already, the white gear isn’t large enough to reach the smaller adjoining cog on the green gear part, therefore can’t connect and the wheels of the robot will never turn. This isn’t user error this is a manufacturing fault and the product shouldn’t be sold. I can only think that other positive reviewers haven’t paid attention to the wheels not spinning and have just let their kids build it and thought the final build looked good. Either this or they received functioning gear boxes. I’ve added an image to show the fault. I’m out of warranty now as it was bought for a Christmas so just wasted money.

Great educational toy with lots of variety. The 12 different models keep kids engaged and help develop problem-solving skills. Instructions are mostly clear, though some parts can be a bit fiddly and may need adult help. Build quality is decent for the price. Overall, a fun and worthwhile STEM kit for kids aged 9+ and a lovely birthday gift.

I bought this solar robot kit on Amazon for the children I childmind, and it has been fantastic! The instructions were easy to follow, and the children really enjoyed building the different robots together. It’s a great way to introduce STEM learning while keeping them engaged and having fun. The kit is well made, offers plenty of variety, and encourages creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an educational toy that is both fun and interactive. It has been a huge hit with the children, and we’ve already spent hours building and experimenting with the different models. Excellent value for money!

This was a brilliant gift. My son loved how he could transform it into different things. Any kid 6 and above would really engage with this toy.

This was a Christmas present for my 10 year old daughter. The instructions are certainly challenging and most definitely need adult assistance, but manageable with some patience. However, as others have reported, we have a gearbox with incorrectly sized gears. I have taken the gearbox apart multiple times and I am certain we have not made any build errors. The green and white gears are just not the right size to mesh with each other, and so the wheels do not turn. I can't find any way to contact the seller to request a replacement part, so the robot is useless!

A fantastic, budget-friendly educational kit that delivers real hands-on learning in mechanics and renewable energy. It takes patience to assemble, but the payoff of watching a solar-powered robot move on its own is well worth it.this kit delivers exceptional educational value for its price—as long as you know what you're getting into. It hits a sweet spot between an engaging building project and a genuine science lesson. The ability to rebuild it into 12 different figures keeps kids coming back to it long after a standard single-model toy would end up sitting in a closet. Seeing gears spin and wheels turn purely from solar energy offers a really satisfying "aha!" moment for young minds. That said, the overall experience comes down to two major factors

Really versatile and really good value. Lots of parts to keep track of but the amount of stuff you get in the box and the possibilities are great. You’ll need some patience to get it ready to build but that’s part of the fun

This arrived quickly with all instructions but they are very small pieces. A child may struggle to build without adults help. The robot looked OK when built but did not work when placed at a light source. I would not buy again.

Designfel, kugghjulen som driver hjulen framåt når inte varandra, sonen mycket besviken eftersom detta va en del av hans födelsedags present. Ser flera omdömen med samma sak.

Los engranajes del motor no se tocan.

Habe dieses Produkt als Geburtstagsgeschenk für einen 8-jährigen Jungen gekauft. Der Aufbau ist sehr schwer und nicht für diese Altersklasse geeignet. Auch die Verarbeitung ist nicht gut. Das Solarpaneel funktioniert, aber der Roboter bewegt sich nicht, da die Teile zu „schwer“ sind. Ich würde dieses Produkt nicht weiterempfehlen.

We bought this for our grandson. It suggests for child of 8 years old. But this item is much to difficult for a child even after 10. It soon becomes en item for grandpa, and he found out the wheels which are built the essential motor were to small, they can not fit to each other so that they can't work together to carry out the basic function. It is a useless item and we are very disappointed.

Unübersichtlich, schlecht beschrieben und zu schwer für 8 Jahre.
