There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Update. They immediately sent another replacement. Between moving, COVID, and everything else this box got misplaced in the back of his closet. When we were unpacking his room this past month he became reinvigorated to get this done. Unfortunately, there is a different problem with the base plate. The holes seem to line up fine but the bent plastic flanges on the bases plate that keep the mother board, or “uno board” as referenced in the instructions, are bent 180 degrees the wrong way. So again when we got to step 5.3 the bottom and top structure plates would not fit together. At first I thought perhaps the top plate was wrong, but when you take off the mother board the two plates fit together perfectly. However you can see the riser flanges that are part of the top plate are bent 180 degrees the wrong way.
In summary there have been two critical flaws in the construction of the base plate. Very much in line with other reviews. I would recommend one that is more likely to be successful for your kids.

The instructions were very clear and easy to follow, which was great because I'm terrible with assembly. Building this project took maybe 2-3 hours, some of that was spent looking for dropped parts.
This thing is quite small, making it perfect for a desk distraction. It's about as tall as a 24oz soda bottle fully extended.
It's not a beastly arm, so the max payload is small, bit it's more than enough to start conversations it distract you from work at home.
This is my second project from sunfounder, both have been excellent.
I highly recommend this project for someone looking for an easier project to get started.

Some tips to help ease you through this character-building experience:
- The tools provided with the kit are inadequate. The screwdriver will serve (mercifully it's magnetized), but the "wrench" does not fit the smallest nuts and is too unwieldy for this kind of assembly anyway. You will need a pair of needle-nose pliers, and probably tweezers as well.
- Some but not all of the screws and nuts have a couple of spares, and you will frequently be dropping these. If you lose one too many that will be the end of the project, so take precautions. Use a drop cloth if you have to. Have a small dish for holding the hardware you're working with. The lid from a carton of Haagen-Dazs is very good for this, and you will be needing comfort food anyway.
- Avoid coffee or other caffeinated beverages for at least 4 hours before attempting assembly. Keep away all pets, children, or other valuables for the sake of their safety during your violent outbursts of frustration. A punching bag or some empty cardboard boxes may be helpful.
- The hardware is well organized, but the labels may cause some slight confusion. For instance, while the manual refers to M3x10 screws, the bag is labeled N3x10. Ignore the letters, focus on the numbers.
- On page 18 of the manual, it is not clear that the actual port number will depend on your particular computer. It is not necessarily COM17, in fact will more likely be COM3 or COM4.
- After the steps on page 19 are complete, unplug the USB cable despite the instructions to keep it plugged in. It would just get in the way during assembly, and the servos would keep fighting you as you are trying to assemble the arm. For reasons given below, you will need to keep realigning the servos anyway. (Another good reason is that you WILL be dropping screws and nuts, and if they short out something on one of the boards while it's powered up, you're boned.)
(The Rollarm kit actually doesn't teach you a whole lot about robotics, electronics, or programming. For instance, the manual doesn't tell you that you don't need to run the IDE every time you want to realign the servos. Once the sketch is uploaded to the Arduino board, it stays in memory even when the power is off. You don't even need your PC for the rest of the assembly; you can plug the cable into a 5V USB charger/power plug/battery, and the realignment sketch will run automatically. I recommend reading/watching any beginner's tutorial for the Arduino to get an idea of what it's about and how it works.)
- On page 20, I found it easier to swap around steps 1 and 2. Attach the rocker arms first, then put the plates together. By "Can't tighten too much" they mean "Don't tighten too much." You definitely can tighten them too much.
Page 21:
- Again, you don't need to keep the USB cable connected during assembly. Once you plug all the servos into the board, reconnect the USB cable and power up the Arduino either from your PC or a 5V USB plug. The realignment sketch only needs a few seconds to run, then unplug the USB again. This will not be the last time you will do this. Also, now is a very good time to stick labels on the servos, so you'll know which is which without having to keep tracing the wires back to the board.
- The servo mounting holes on plate 5 DO NOT LINE UP with the servo mounting arms! This will probably be the most infuriating stage of the whole project, and is the most excellent reason for not leaving the USB plugged in (and for keeping loved ones and sharp objects out of the room). Don't screw the shafts onto the rocker arms just yet, as you're going to have to repeatedly re-mount the rocker arms onto the shafts and realign the servos as you wrestle with the plates and servos and microscopic screws and nuts and arrrgh.
- Just to be clear, the plates should be aligned as in the picture in step 4, not step 5. Because of those STUPID BADLY-DRILLED MOUNTING HOLES, your beautiful robot will now look slightly twisted and askew instead of the beautiful piece of precision machinery you were envisioning. Just keep adjusting the rocker arms onto the shafts and plugging the USB cable in to realign everything, until it looks as close to the picture as you can live with, then screw the shafts onto the rocker arms.
- Page 26: If you didn't label the servos earlier, this is the point where you WILL find out that you attached the servos in the wrong order. Don't disassemble the whole damn thing to move the servos, just swap the plugs around on the board. Another lesson in real-life robotics.
- The mechanism for the grippers is not well designed or made. The gears will frequently stop meshing correctly, and the grippers simply aren't strong enough to hold anything heavier than a small cardboard box or a piece of foam. The screw holding the post to plate 4 will quickly come loose (there goes all your work trying to align the servos), and eventually you're going to have to find a way to hold it in place. Rubber cement may do the trick.
- Googly eyes are a vast improvement to every robot.
May The Force be with you.
The structure plate was cut wrong, that made the peices not fit as the instructions indicated. My son spent his own money on this and was very disappointed that he couldn't get past step #5, even then things were not lining up and we tried to make it work.

En la parte negativa:
-Las instrucciones sólo están en ingles, y no muy bueno
-Las ilustraciones son pequeñas y no muy claras
-El material del brazo es un poco blando, lo que hace que no quede perfectamente recto
-La placa Arduino no es original, aunque aparentemente tiene buena calidad
En cualquier caso creo que es una buena compra y una forma de iniciar a los niños en la electrónica y robótica.
Leider wurden die falschen Schrauben mitgeliefert .
Hatte Probleme beim Aufbau.
Doch der Support durch den Händler ist super.
Mir wurde angeboten die richtigen Schrauben nachzuschickenoder eine kostenlose Rückgabe.
Ich hatte schon lange keinen so kompetenten und freundlichen Support.
Da die Lieferung nicht korrekt war nur 4 Sterne.
Der Support bekommt 10 Sterne plus👍
