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.

I am very pleased with the product itself and for the help that freenove offered me. In general i find them well designed, reasonably priced and a good value.

Support is very responsive but needs better english translation. Received the kit about a week ago. Fortunately, freenove has great support. They always respond to our email within 24 hours. Very impressive and very helpful.

The screws are very tiny so i would not recommend for anyone who doesn't have tiny fingers. There is significant potential to rupture the batteries when removing them out. The infrared sensor in the front has very low clearance to the ground.

    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

    Buy your batteries separately at the same time or youll have to wait for them
