    Fun, easy project
    I completed this project together with my 8-year-old. I did most of the work, but an average 10-year-old could probably do this project on their own with minimal supervision. The instructions are pretty easily understandable (good accompanying diagrams). We completed the project in less than 30 minutes. You'll need a smaller-sized, Phillips-head ("+" or "x" shaped) screwdriver to complete the project. You'll also need a battery. Extra felt-tip markers, an extra battery, plenty of drawing paper, and a baking (cookie) sheet are also helpful once you're ready to doodle. To change the drawing pattern, simply adjust the legs between drawings.Even though this was for my 8-year-old, other children from 4 years up to 12 years old would probably enjoy this project. The project may be too simplistic for young people older than 12 years old.This isn't going to keep them occupied for hours and hours. Once you've completed the project, the actual drawing will keep children engaged for about 15-30 minutes before they lose interest. However, my children still enjoy pulling the robot out from time to time to do more doodling.Overall, this is a worthwhile return on the investment considering I paid less than $20 and spent less than 30 minutes on the actual build.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very fun -- try it inside a container (like a pan or jelly roll tray)
    Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2012
    The interesting thing for me was watching my son build this toy, then play with it, then take it apart to reconfigure it and get new design patterns. The motor can be assembled into the toy four different ways for four different artistic patterns, and the pens can be adjusted into infinite varieties.

    He really likes this -- he calls it his "Artbot" and he is making custom stationery/art for the brothers in colors of their choosing.

    Tip: When the markers wear out or a different color scheme is preferred, RoseArt thin markers fit better than Crayola thin markers. You may have to use a screwdriver to loosen the pen holders, then re-tighten on the markers.

    To keep the robot on the paper, he used an old 9X12 pan, lined the bottom with the drawing paper, and switched on the robot inside the pan.

    Very nice results.

    It took him about 70 minutes to assemble it the first time, and he still likes it. (He's 10) He has used it for many hours, and the toy has withstood a couple of falls from countertops onto tile floors at the hands of the little brother.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Error in instructions and missing wire made for a better experience!
    Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2017
    Was not sure how many stars to go with on this one. Reason being, the instructions have an error and there was a missing wire. That being said, I oddly decided on 5 stars. The error and missing wire made for a fun learning experience for my son. He learned to trouble shoot, that reversing the positive and negative wires causes the motor to run in the opposite direction, to improvise, and that even “professionals” make mistakes! It works great, was fun to assemble. Great STEM Project. My son loves it.
