The shipment was very fast and acurate . The only thing that i have to say is that i would like t o see the wiring of the controller in order to know witch gpios is free and the free pins of the controller which is wich. The numbers on the controller are the phisical pins or the bcm of the ruspberry. And it would be nice to see 2 line detectors in the box so the line following would be more accurate. Sorry for my bad english.

This kit is a lot of fun to use. I would have given it 5 stars apart from the quality of a couple of the components. The line follower didn't for a lot of the time, despite a 'lot' of fiddling with height etc. The motors are OK, but again aren't quite up to scratch. However, for the money this is a great kit to play around with and I'm already thinking about fitting a second ultrasound sensor for reversing.

This car was easy to make and code with easy instructions and open source code.

I can't believe this kit is available at such a low cost. What a fun, simple introduction to robotics.

Had a lot of fun putting the robot together with my son, getting from starting the pi to running some python and a moving robot in a morning. When we first ran the code, expecting it not to work, to our immense surprise the robot lept into life and shot across the floor, we just couldn't stop laughing. It helped a bit that I'd come across python and github before. Great value kit too.

I will admit I am trying to learn my Pi, thought the best way would be to build a kit, manually write in the code and learn as I go (I have programming knowledge). I must be doing something wrong, as I just can't find the documentation as to how to build the robot, you have motors, sensors etc but no wiring diagram, which GPIO pin attaches to what. I know it must be out there somewhere as so many people seem to have cracked it, but they do not make it obvious. So at the moment, I feel let down by the instructions. Expect I will get there eventually but to have this much trouble right at the start is disappointing. I am sure it is more me that the kit!
