Lustiges Spielzeug, wir haben den nur bestellt weil wir dachten das andere Mädchen Robo teil kommt nicht mehr rechtzeitig, dabei ist der dann doch so viel besser und trotzdem spielt sie mit beiden gern. Preis etwas teurer aber fast besser als make block Version 1, da auch hier Akku und Extras möglich sind.

My 10 year old son loved this! It comes with a downloadable app and connects with no issues through Bluetooth.Even without any coding knowledge this little guy is pretty impressive - you can draw pictures on the face using the app (simple shade each pixel type drawing) and switch between 'emotions' and control him through a simple remote function in the app. For more advanced users it has another app to download which allows the child to use python to write code and also has drag and drop for basic coding learning.We haven't delved too much into the coding as he's been happy running it round the house displaying emotions but I'm sure he'll play around with that side of it before the years out 😄You do need to charge him before first use but for any impatient terrors just hook it up to a power bank and walk around on a lead that's what we did until it was charged 😅.Great value for money - no subscription to the coding app it is a.once bought it's yours like kids toys used to be ☺️.

We got it during Prime Days so price was awesome. We had the other mBot1 from this company and it was good, so we were ok to try this one. The mBot is more hackable and modular, while Codey is MUCH cuter. It looks like a little cat, and is SO MUCH more expressive, with its wide dot display. We use it to send messages and make our 6yo son do things he normally is reluctant to (“go brush teeth”, “go pee now” etc.). He loves his catbot and is now learning to program it using their block coding app. Their software situation is a bit confusing but you figure it out (which app to use for what, how to connect) and it’s not bad. Tutorials are well done but limited and not a lot. Bluetooth connects well and stays connected. Battery lasts a long time, charges quickly, and the motors are very powerful. You can drive it manually with a phone or tablet and it is easy and fun. It has preset moves and sounds too, but you can program the buttons. Has a few holes to accept Lego Technic pins (not blocks) and that’s a cool feature. Kiddo built a few costumes or tools on top. Has a color detection cam in the front, so you can program it with that too. Light sensor too. And you can also do simple AI stuff! (Small neural network, image recognition). All in all, a good purchase.

He probado otros robots y éste me parece muy apropiado por su facilidad de uso y simplicidad sin renunciar al gran abanico de posibilidades para aprender a programar.

Blocky is a cute robot which should appeal to kids. It is easy to program IFF you have a device with which it'll connect. We bought this for our granddaughter to use with her Chromebook. Makeblock implies in the product description that it'll work over Bluetooth. Um, not so fast. It does not connect to my Windows10 PC nor my iPhone, although it does connect to an old iPad. The Makeblock support page offers a .zip file to download to enable BT on a Chromebook BUT to do so requires that Development Mode be enabled; doing so opens the device to all manner of unintended consequences.Since the Chromebook and Blocky are for our 8YO granddaughter, I have no other choice but to buy the Makeblock USB BT adaptor. Grrr. I hate throwing money at a problem, especially when the problem could have been avoided by Makeblock.All that being said, Codey does work from her Chromebook by using the USB cable, but no kid wants to tag along behind her robot as it executes her programs.

My son loves his Corey Robot. He's been doing coding in school, but I thought it would be better for him to see it motion, besides on the screen. I like that it takes you through the steps to show you how to begin coding. He enjoyed using the remote control & finger drawing in the meantime while going through the steps. Small enough where it doesn't take up a lot of space, yet the right size for the hands of a child. Gives my son and I something we can do together and as a teacher, this keeps him busy doing something positive on his tablet.

Solid little robot, and it's nice that it works right out of the box. Birthday gift for an 8 year old, and with the software already loaded on my (Android) phone it was an instant success. (Almost like getting a new pet...) Very easy to use software for controlling the robot out of the box, and the coding software looks very straightforward as well. (Based on Scratch 2.0) He's used it daily, and is just starting to delve into the coding software to see how to take advantage of sprites (for emotions) and some of the sensors. Key will be engagement with the coding capabilities, otherwise it's kind of an RC vehicle that can display some emotions and a couple of other tricks.

I bought Codey Rocky for my 9 year old daughter, who is interested in getting started with coding. So far, she loves it! It was easy to set up and to get started. First, we downloaded the android app. The app has three sections: 1) Drive, 2) Draw and Run, and 3) Code. We had a lot of fun with Drive. In this section, we simply drove Codey Rocky around using the on screen joystick. We also had fun changing the pattern displayed on the screen. This was super easy to do, just touch the bubbles on the Android device and it immediately transfers to the robot screen. Drive also has a few buttons that help Codey express some personality.The Draw and Run section was fun too. You draw a pattern on the screen, and Codey will drive in that same pattern on the ground. You can add some light and sound effects by easily dragging and dropping the effects on the line that was drawn. We had fun making an obstacle course and seeing if we could get Codey to navigate it.Before we attempted the coding in section 3, I downloaded the makeblock software to my Windows 10 notebook and looked at the coding examples that are built into that software. I think we could work directly from the notebook, but my daughter copied the examples into the Tablet and I could see she was starting to get the hang of it. She is now trying to combine the coding examples to make more complex programs.

We got the Codey Rocky along with the Neuron blocks for my daughter for her birthday. They work together, but only in the computer app. It seems like there maybe tablet support for this in the future. The Codey Rocky has a nice little personality which is something my daughter really wanted. It seems like it has some growing left to do, but for the price I think it is good.

This is the best toy you could ever buy. Sorry. NOT a toy. The best GIFT you could buy. I am 31 years old and I am trying to learn how to code and Codey Rocky is helping me a lot. Its so intuitive and fun. The possibilities are endeless. For me the only downside is that the screen should be LCD/OLED. None the less, I really enjoy it and recommend it for everyone. Thanks Makeblock!
