Great fun!Dec 28, 2010
By K. A. Stevens
We bought this for Christmas 2010? My son is great with his hands and would love to have the LEGO Mindstorm robot. Someone suggest that we start with the TECHNIC series to see if he could do them and if he liked them. He is 7 and put the buggy together mostly by himself. I, dad, did the quality checks and helped when he thought he had pieces missing. No parts missing, he used the wrong length shaft in the wrong place. What is cool is that it is not a model that you set on a shelf and look at. You can roll it and watch the parts move like a real car. The only thing that I noticed that my son struggled with was the picture of how the pieces go together, but with a little explanation, from dad, on how to orient the part and compare it to the picture, he was able to run with it. I guess I have no excuses now to keep me from getting him the robot :)

Outstanding Legos!Sep 01, 2010
By DK

I built this with my son, who is way too young for it - so really I built it while he cheered me on.
I have been building legos for 30 years, but have until now neglected the "technics" sets. I was overjoyed to discover all the fun new parts. The model is remarkable and clever, and surprisingly sturdy. I don't think it's much of a toy, but still it is really enjoyable to hold and move about. The only thing I would have added is a rear differential. I don't have any idea how this could be done in the constraints of lego parts. The steering and suspension is fantastic, and the drive train and motor are pretty cool too.
Overall it's a great lego set. I'm not sure how to assess the value. 35 bucks is pretty steep for a toy, and I have yet to see how valuable the pieces are once we dismantle the buggy and add the parts to our "big bucket of legos". Many of the parts seem pretty speciallized, but we are enthusiastic to create new things with these peicies. Ultimately I view all lego sets as parts collections, not models. This one might be a tad pricey for the goods you get.

 very educationalMay 12, 2010
By Maicon
the engine head, moving pistons and the steering construction were a great way to show how real car mechanics operate.
My child really enjoyed putting this together (althoug it took several sessions over 1 month, due to the difficulty)
I would like Lego to not assume symmetry by construction and show both sides in their instructions (for under age kids)
This is a very good toy and I really like the educational value of this toy.
