Adults of a certain age will remember Bigtrak, which was a programmable tank that could fire a 'laser' on command. This toy is a very similar idea, but unfortunately doesn't have the 'cool' factor of a Bigtrak. It is slightly more overtly educational though, which depending on your child is either a good thing or a bad thing.It's a robot that you can program movements into, or attach a felt-tip pen to draw shapes with. It encourages forethought and planning to use, and introduces the basic concept of programming a device. It especially demonstrates the idea that it will do precisely what you say, no more or less. It includes some game boards that challenge you to reach a certain position,or do some simple calculations to reach an answer, and then move to that answer on the board, and the robot will tell you if you're correct, or incorrect. There is a second board that contains a maze that the user must escape from. It starts at a basic level, and then works it's way up to more complex problems.A slight drawback here is the robot doesn't actually read the board - it starts from a known point, and 'knows' where it is simply by knowing what movements it's performed. What this can mean is that if it slides or gets stuck on a fold in the paper, or you start it on the wrong square, it can end up parked at the wrong answer, but tell you it's correct.You can also draw pictures with it, and the robot can draw pre-programmed shapes and basic images, or by using the app you can program some far more complex images. It's this that is the real bonus over a Bigtrak, as it's quite satisfying to run a code and watch the shapes form - or even amusing when it goes wrong.There is voice control too, which is a bit limited in the age of Alexa. Spoken commands must be perfect, and are 'tree' commands in that certain commands must be given in certain orders, or they won't be recognised. While this is probably quite educational, it's more frustrating for the average child who is used to more flexible voice recognition apps.The robot will need some adult supervision to get started with. The manual is clearly aimed at an adult reader, and if you expect your child to be able to open the box and start going, you (and they) are going to be disappointed. Spend an hour or so getting to grips with it before you let your child loose will be a very good idea.It's a fun toy, and teaches a lot - but if your child is pre-dispositioned to reject anything too blatantly 'educational' as 'boring' I would recommend a Bigtrak over this one. While Bigtrak is slightly more limited, it's a lot more stealthy in teaching the same basic concepts. Plus, you can buy add-ons to program a Bigtrak to fire missiles at the cat, and I know which my inner 7-year old would prefer.That all said, all the above is from my adult perspective, and my testing six year old loves this thing, and is playing with it constantly and learning through it. It's wonderful to watch him mentally working out the steps to get the robot to go where he wants it to go, and then 'debugging' where he went wrong. When his first words on waking up in the morning are quoting the robot with 'I'm fully charged and ready to play' then you know something is good with this toy. Recomended.

Science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) are subjects that can be found in our lives everyday, so toys and games that help with understanding these concepts are very important for our children and this is where Clementoni MIND Designer Robot comes in.This cute little robot can be used to improve a child's understanding of maths and geometry as well as science and engineering. It can be coded to move around, draw things and follow other instructions.Inside the box is ...MIND Designer RobotInstruction booklet10 x A3 sheets of paper3 x felt tip lensDouble sided blue/yellow sheet of paperClementoni is a colourful well made and quite robust robot which reminds me a little of R2-D2 of Star Wars fame.

Until I received this ‘Clementoni Science Museum-Mind Designer’ for review purposes I was unaware of the acronym STEM to group together disciplines of science, technology, engineering and maths. I understand from a school-teacher daughter and younger grandchildren that STEM is used when addressing education policies and curriculum choices, and its implications have been taken up by various providers of textbooks, internet sites, training courses and activities.This ‘Clementoni Science Museum-Mind Designer’ is ‘Science Museum approved’. It is really just an attractive and appealing electric powered robot to be given instructions via buttons and it speaks as it undertakes quests etc.

MIND - I got this amazing robot for an amazing little boy...within minutes of taking Mind out of its box...the 6 year old was enjoying manually programming the robot...sending it on imagined tracks around the living room...Then we followed the simple Bluetooth pairing instructions on the APP, both to his parents phones and his own tablet...and soon he were drawing shapes on the supplied A3 sheets of paper and the supplied markers(the drawn shapes are quite small so placing Mind in the centre of the page should prevent accidentally drawing on your floors, supervision recommended)...Next we used the printed learning sheets...one side is a maths teaching and logical steps/coding aid........Mind asks you to move to different squares using math operations +-/x,

In a world with a growing population having a declining interest in anything maths and science related, anything that can help stem that tide is a winner for me.Clementoni is a robot that has 3 modes; free, edu & app. Free allows you to program commands, and once the sequence is complete, you can then send on his way to draw follow the route you've set to draw various patterns etc. Edu is more arithmetical in nature using games and quests to help children improve their basic numeracy, and App is more complex coding which some pre-programmed images available as well.It's well constructed, and although it'll take a little bit of time getting set-up,

This is a well made and well designed little robot which teaches kids to think logically step by step designing. Essentially it teaches the basics of programming. The funky little robot is attractive and interesting and loved by kids who quickly learn to get the robot to draw basic shapes. I tried this out on kids in the computer club in a local primary school and they loved it.Easy to operate when 'charged up and ready to play!' Can be used in quick and easy mode just from programming the arrows on the top of the robot or get more interesting with the iOS or Android App. As usual the kids took to this quite naturally and intuitively without having to read the manual.

This is a good toy for introducing young children to computer programming. You can programme the toy manually or by using your voice. What I particularly like is that you can programme it using a free app which is similar to ones children use in school – essentially they programme it by dragging & dropping icons for commands such as “go forwards 8 cm” and “turn left 120 degrees”. Because children are dragging & dropping rather than typing the commands, it is less intimidating, more fun and programming bugs have been eliminated.The recommended age range is 6-10.Price at time of review: £49.97

A rather simple robot, which encourages coding/programming skills and an awareness of cause and effect in children.My 7 year old has had a great time playing with this robot. Her 5 year old sibling has got in on the action too.The main downside is that the robot is a little feeble in its movement, and needs a very flat surface or it will struggle.I think a more suitable age range for this is 5-8 years - it is not that complicated and is unlikely to be very challenging for children aged 9 years and over.

This coding toy is excellent. The robot comes with a paper mat, and the child must program the robot to carry out a 'journey' on the mat, with certain instructions, such as avoiding the red lasers. This has given hours of fun to my three-year-old boy and 8-year-old daughter, who have both learnt from the toy at different levels.The toy also has a 'draw' feature, where you can program the robot to draw different shapes. This is a great way to introduce simple coding to children.

I gave this to my friends six year old twins who very quickly fathomed out all the functions, even though as an adult I found it a bit confusing. It's certainly more challenging than more basic interactive learning toys. The robot can be programmed to perform movements and comes pre-loaded with some games and apps, and more can be obtained from the free online app. More of an educational item than a toy.

This "robot for kids" is a great concept, especially for those children who enjoy maths, science and computer topics. It's served as a great introduction to programming for my 9 and 11 year old nephews.
