Overall I am pleasantly surprised that we got this little guy up and fully running without any major hiccups, so I cannot fault Meccano's design. Sometimes the manual was a little difficult to follow. Some intuition needed! I guess if you don't some parts right first time then treat it as part of the learning process.
If this product was much more expensive I would expect - 1. Better mic to provide better quality recording in LIM recording mode, 2. A more advanced programming section in the app, 3. the ability to convert text input into speech so the robot can be programmed to talk rather than just play back your recorded voice (the robot Meccabrain mic can record music and voice played to it directly but playback is quiet. Any voice/sounds recorded via the app on your smart device are not transmitted to the robot but played back on the smart device while the robot does the accompanying movements.
The box says ages 10 and up. If you have a child that can assemble this and get it working properly you should consider engineering courses for your child.

montage réalisé en 2 jours !!! mais pas simple de faire le "cablage" electrique............pas ou peu d'explications à ce propos
faire attention au sens de montage du "cerveau" car pas simple à demonter lorsque tout est fini
il faut être conscient que cela reste un jouet
ne pas croire que l'on achete un robot avec de l'intelligence artificielle
Purtroppo il regalo di Natale di mio figlio tanto atteso e finalmente con "centinaia di frasi in ITALIANO e comando vocali in ITALIANO" al momento del tanto auspicato aggiornamento del FIRMWARE scopro che la lingua italica non c'è.
Contattato il servizio clienti Meccano, mi rispondono con estrema cortesia e franchezza che "....La lingua italiana ancora non è stata supportata e non sanno quando lo sarà....".
Grande delusione e rimpacchettato il tutto al costernato venditore, il quale ha scoperto insieme a me che il software non è aggiornabile in ITALIANO!!!
