Glitchy connection & poor support

My son had fun building the robot and coding it for a year, then the robots stop connecting via Bluetooth. Have emailed the company twice, run several debugging things with no luck. Posting a review hopefully that public facing comments get a better response.

Cool idea

Everything works great and is pretty cool. My problem is I spent the money on the robot we put it together and to only find out you have to complete level 90 on the game before you can even unlock the remote. Level 90 really Iโ€™m pretty ticked about that

Doesnโ€™t Work

Bought for my student. They Spent so much time building it, but when it came time to connecting at the app kept glitching out. Never got to actually see it work.

Worst toy ever

I donโ€™t usually write any reviews by my son was so excited to play the robot , just to find out the app would not connect and would not play the robot.
Such a waste of time and disappointment.
Tinkerbot should be ashamed of selling such awful toys.
I will share my experience with everyone.
Please do not buy any toy from this company.

Canโ€™t pass charge screen

This is the same problem someone else is experiencing, it would seem. The robot is fully charged, but the app glitches out and tells me to plug the robot in again. Quite disappointing.
