Seems to work. Bought it for someone else and I just put it together and formatted an micro sd card for it and tested the camera etc.

Very easy to assemble and following the Youtube tutorial, within 30 minutes, I got it up and running. Since I had a spare no IR filter camera with attached spots and a different size power bank, I designed some easy to print add-ons for the STS-Pi. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3093797 have fun with your projects

Package arrived intact as ordered with all the components. I was able to put it together with ease with the help of the YouTube Video.

I just bought this kit with an explorer hat pro. I'm amazed about how easy it is to assemble and how good the software support is. There is a youtube video provided plus a github repo with a webclient example, unbelievable. And everything just works!

A quick and easy build. The acrylic boards had some incomplete cutouts which were easily finished with a fine box cutter. This should be packed as a full kit rather than needing to order parts and pieces. Make sure to buy the explorer hat and battery pack.

I would have given the sts-pi a 5 star rating if two things would have happened. First the front ball roller is very stiff providing very little movement. Second, I purchased this with the explorer phat (both from MCM Elec.), but while this chassis is perfect for the regular Pi, there are no second mounting holes for the pi zero form factor( I was going to use the pi0w). For some this would not be an issue with the pi zero, because they may trust themselves drilling into the chassis, but I have never had good luck with it, therefore i broke out an old pi B and am enjoying some fun building the kids first bot with them.
