Robot Car Kit, 2 in 1 Smart Robotics Arm Building Toy for Raspberry Pi Python Coding, STEM Programming Tank Kits with Camera (Without RPi Board)

I recently got the BLONWINER Robot Car Kit and it's been a blast to play with! The best part is you can build either a robot car or a smart robotics arm with this kit. 🤖 The Raspberry Pi and Python coding make it perfect for STEM programming. The kit also comes with a camera for added fun and learning opportunities. The performance of the robot car kit is impressive. It moves smoothly and responds well to commands, making it great for beginners and experienced users alike. The versatility of being able to switch between a car and a robotics arm adds an exciting dimension to the play and learning experience. In terms of value for money, this kit is a steal! Considering the quality of the components, the educational value, and the entertainment it provides, it's definitely worth the investment. Whether you're a hobbyist or a student looking to learn coding and robotics, the BLONWINER Robot Car Kit is a fantastic choice.

This product is a little hard to put together, but in the long run if you can get it put together it seems to be an awesome product I would recommend this to all of my friends. I really enjoy the detail they put into this to make everything work and fit together.

Doesn't come with directions need to. Look up and search on web site.

Great kit with excellent instruction. I totally missed the link to the instructions and the seller responded very fast to help me out.

First of all the design is just bad to begin with. Compound that with instructions that overcomplicate things. Wiring the boards first then mounting them to the frame parts means you're tethered in a mess of spaghetti the entire time. Certainly there are "SOME" steps where this is required, however there are many more where it would be easier to do it the other way around. The hardware is garbage. I had brass standoffs break and needing replacement. There's gaps between the standoffs and the boards because the externally threaded portion of the standoff's is too long, or the internally threaded portion is too shallow. The acrylic cuts for the 1.4mm self tapping screws were too big for the screws to bit anything half the time. There's no indication which side of the acrylic components is the "top" of the laser cut side (important because the kerf of the laser cut is wider at the top of the cut) and even using the bottom side these screws didn't bite regularly. The steering servo in what appears to be a cheap drug store RC car chassis doesn't function well enough to turn the bot. The controller only supports basic steering, accelerate and brake and does NOT control the arm. You have to unplug the drive motors and plug them into a different board to switch from the webUI control to the handheld control. There are 3 power switches that must be turned on in a specific sequence.

BLONWINER 2in1 Robotics Tank Review The advertisement states it is compatible with numerous Raspberry Pi models but the documentation specifies Raspberry Pi 4B. The instructions give multiple methods for downloading the Operating System they require. I tried them all and it didn’t work. The instructions don’t require you to zero the servos prior to installing. Rather they wait until the tank is assembled and assume all went well up to that point. As for the instructions,it appears the person who wrote them never assembled the product. If they had they would have rewritten the instructions. When I purchased the item and the wrong Raspberry Pi I went ahead and read the instructions while I considered getting the correct Raspberry Pi. After doing so I decided not to go forward and attempt assembly as I had just returned another company’s version of the product for many of the reasons stated above. Upon making my decision I contacted the company and told them of my dismay. They quickly responded and offered a full refund. Because they were so eager for me to be satisfied I took the refund. I later purchased the correct Raspberry Pi and gave assembly a try. As you can see I was very disappointed and while the company was quick to respond and concerned about customer satisfaction I decided to put my Robotics Tank on a shelf and move on. For information, while I am a novice at this type of project I have complete a robot dog from another company. That project had a number of hardware issues that tried my patience but the instructions were 100% better and the company was equally concerned about customer satisfaction so I hung in there and ended up with a working product. In closing let me suggest that if you are considering purchasing a robotic project that you review the assembly process first. Additionally, understand if you have problems most if not all of these companies are in China and you will be waiting one day for a response if you email them with an issue (unless you assemble it in the dark of night you may get faster responses). Because the company was fast to respond and eager to satisfy I give them 3 stars. If the review was based solely on the product and its instructions I would rate it two stars.

Assembling the DIY car was a good experience. My 7-year-old enjoyed the assembly process and playing with the vehicle afterward. The instructions were straightforward, and the battery life and performance were on par.

The assembly instructions require telekinesis to follow. One of the copper standoffs broke off while I was trying to screw it in, and while trying to get it back out, it got stuck inside the wrench that came with the kit. I’ve been trying to put this thing together for days, I just wanna play with the robot, man. I’d really suggest that the manufacturer remakes the chassis assembly instructions with gravity in mind. Like the first step should probably be screwing the extensions into the bottom piece (Acrylic Sheet A.03), putting the wires through the hole of it, and screwing it on. Then maybe work on assembling the Pi on top of that, getting everything plugged into the RPI board, then maybe the Acrylic sheet A.04 stuff? Idk if something should happen before or between all that, I’ve only gotten to page 26 and am getting frustrated because there was finally no psychically floating pieces and now it’s telling me to hover lights above the camera module and I’m like dude… why… I stared at it for I don’t know how long before realizing that it wasn’t telling me to plug the RGBs into the camera. I’m tired, man.

No lo compren, es un desperdicio de dinero, su producto viene con instrucciones poco claras y la programación base esta obsoleta, dos de sus bibliotecas de programación base y las más importantes no funcionan
