    A good idea let down by poor construction2
    After a couple of interesting hours building the robot, was very dissapointed to discover that the way the gears were aligned meant the motor was unable to move them. The whole gear apparatus was jammed solid. No way of adjusting them to free up the motion, so we are left with a pile of gears...not good. May be down to a rogue batch, but not good all the same.
    It should also be noted that the body of the robot is made from thin stiffened card, so not the most robust construction, not a surprise at this price, but worth being aware of.
