4M Green Science Solar Rover

So fun, great gift, not too big of a box, the instructions are good, great value

Overall, kids think this rover is cool and it does teach them about solar energy in a fun manner. That said, the kids (grade 5) put this together themselves and were outside on a super sunny day and the rover did NOTHING! When we came out to inspect it, it turned out that the black and red wiring was not making any contact to the electrodes underneath the solar panel itself. We popped the panel out of the housing and saw that the + and - were flipped to the top of the rover when they should have been at the bottom. We popped it back in the right way, inserted the wires so they touched the electrodes of the solar panel and the rovers motor started spinning immediately. For those of you who also have the same problem, double check that the wiring is making contact with the correct part of the solar panel. :) Enjoy!

Decent value for money and he learned alot from it. He is 10 and used it for the science fair. No missing parts and worked.

This was easy to assemble. Our 5yo granddaughter had minimal help.They work well in the sun (solar power of course) but we did try other light sources which didn't work. We did use the soda cans and had some wonderful races! Approved by Granny Camp

We loved this. It was a quick activity my 8 year old loved. He just needed help with the tiny screws

Easy to assemble, fun For kids but very flimsy parts. A card stock sheet caused a small part to break and get stuck in the base so now the whole rover is unusable. It was a birthday gift and broke the same day it was opened.

Bought as a gift for a 7 year-old niece, who loved it ( along with her 4 year old brother ). Was skeptical that the small PV panel would actually supply enough power to drive the kart along, but it did just fine. The kids loved seeing how they could stop and start the kart by putting it sun vs. shade. Instructions are adequate but could be confusing if one is not technically inclined. I would imagine that most kids would need some help assembling the components correctly but they can definitely still follow along and benefit from learning how gears, motors, electricity, and solar energy work.

This is a great simple kit. Any kid that likes to assemble stuff or learn how things work will have some fun with this. My son is looking to add a simple switch in the circuit to be able to disconnect the solar panel from the motor. He kept trying to get his dad to drink a beer so he'd have a can, but it works just fine without the can! The can serves no functional purpose... just aesthetics.

Amazing gift for a 7 year old. The rover run wells in direct sunlight

I bought this for a 7 years-old boy birthday and he loved it! It's easy to build, but still very entertaining, it works well and is educative. I recommend buying this for kids. Totally worth it

Exelente regalo para un nino entusiasta y con ganas de aprender

Instructions were easy to follow on the first page, got tricky with the can. We are giving three stars because the red wiring broke, despite us being careful (in the first fifteen minutes) and right when we had figured the can part.

Lo compre para un adolescente de 12 años y lo armo muy rápido y funcionó a la perfección bajo el sol
