DESCRIZIONE PRINCIPALE The RoboMaker® kit was created to guide you on an educational journey to introduce you to robotics, logical thinking and coding. By using the 200 and more interchangeable components present in the box, you can build 3 different robots with growing levels of complexity and then programme them in a fun way through this free application. The RoboMaker® START app communicates with the robots via Bluetooth® Low Energy and contains 4 different sections, each with their own specific and engaging functions: 1- BUILD In this section the 3 robot models can be reconstructed in 3D, piece-by-piece, in a dynamic and animated way. Whenever you add a new component, you can even enlarge/shrink it and rotate the model by 360° to understand how to connect the various modules. 2 LEARN The Learn section illustrates the basic programming concepts through 6 guided activities (2 for each robot model); which can be completed by creating specific command sequences using the Clementoni block-based programming. 3 CREATE Once you have learnt the basic programming concepts and have familiarised with our block-based programming, you can juggle around with the options in the Create section. In this area, after building a robot of any shape, you can programme it as you prefer. In this case, the activity is performed freely, therefore the app will not signal whether or not you have entered the sequence correctly, so you will have to realise by yourself whether the result meets your objective. 4 CONTROL The Control mode does not entail the use of block-based programming. Through this mode it is possible to control and command in real time the 3 robot models proposed. Each command you send will be executed instantly by the robot, without any delay. Given that the 3 robots are different in terms of both the electronic components used and their functions, there is a specific control page for each one of them. So, what are you waiting for? Enter the RoboMaker® world, step in the programmer’s boots and start this engaging and formative adventure!

This app consists of a cube solver, tutorials and a game. The solver allows you to solve cubes of sizes 2, 3 and 4. You put your cube's colors on a 3D virtual cube or you scan your cube directly with your camera. Then, you can watch an animation of the shortest sequence of moves to solve your cube. The tutorials teach you how to solve cubes of sizes 2, 3 and 4 with detailed explanations, images and animations. The game lets you practice solving cubes of different sizes and designs. Your scores appear in a global leaderboard where you can compare yourself to other players. There are also achievements to unlock. A subscription is required to use the app. Terms of Service: https://yc-apps.github.io/terms-of-service Privacy Policy: https://yc-apps.github.io/privacy-policy

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Solviks at 4.7 against Robomaker Start's 3.0. Solviks also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months). Robomaker Start's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Solviks sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Robomaker Start asks for nothing beyond the download.
Solviks holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Solviks has 6.3K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Robomaker Start ships an update every 5 months, Solviks every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
