Pros & Cons
Pros
Reviewer gives an overview of the product. Only issue is that wheels spin in reverse direction so when you press forward they go backwards. They give extra nuts and screws so the bad nut was not a problem.
The app is either an iphone or android app that you can download from the app stores or you can also run a windows or mac app. Once build the car has plenty of functionality. Next step is to add new components like a small usb light and speaker.

They still need to fix the tutorial aspect of this kit but i consider their kit valuable on the parts side the instructions are horrible for young people

I do recommend not using their code and instead writing your own using the adafruit python libraries or some of the other open source projects for this robot on github
