5 in 1 Mechanical Coding Robot

Several weeks ago I purchased this item for my 10-year old grand-daughter. The product is imported by Unicorn Enterprises Corp., in Mississauga Ontario. Although the spider is rated as suitable for “age 8+” it probably should be rated for age 12+. Notwithstanding the assembly and instruction manual being quite well written my grand-daughter did experience some frustration putting it together (as did her 12-year old brother AND xx-year old father). So….YY-year old grandfather (that’s me!) to the rescue!! After sanding down a few parts which seemed to still have slight burrs on them….. the spider has come alive…..crawling around contentedly and making the whole family happy!! This “toy” is in my opinion worth the price: not only in teaching the builder how to follow instructions, handle small/delicate pieces carefully, exercise patience etc but also in learning the science behind how clean energy can be (easily) created and put to use. I’d definitely recommend this product, and rate it 9/10.

p.s. Unicorn Enterprises is a delight to interact with - responsive to emails and going that “extra mile” for the customer.

My 10yo and I spent a few afternoons putting together the Hydraulic Cyborg Hand. The aha! moment when we finished was worth it alone, but the fact that it got him interested and inspired in hydraulics and basic physics is the icing on the cake. A well made, well designed toy with excellent instructions.

My 9 year old grandson is having a wonderful time working on this Cyborg Hand project during this lockdown. this is an extremely well organized kit that he is able to do on his own and systematically put together, keeping him well occupied. I look forward to its completion and watching him enjoy using it.
