PetoiBittle Robot Dog STEM Kit(Construction) - Coding Robot Building Kit - Programmable Open Source - STEM/Coding/Robotics Educational Toy - 3D Puzzle Assembly – Sophisticated Motions – App Control

Driven by extensible, modularised, and programmable NyBoard, the bittle dog is an absolute intelligent and inspiring toy, especially if you have a little STEM/STEAM background. With builtin bluetooth and USB modules, and a remote, you can interact with your dog in a flexible way, which opens unlimited potential where you can teach your dog your own tricks. Even for a layman with completely no DIY experience, it is still a great and rather addictive toy. Though you'd better order a pre-assembled one in that case.For the pre-assembled package I ordered, the dog comes with a spare "shoe" and a motion motor, and a few accessories, including the USB/bluetooth modules. I also ordered a camera module which is not part of a standard package. I think the camera module should be made to fit in the head and peers though the eyes, which makes it more real.Functional wise, the dog does not do much in its default configuration. But since it's programmable, it is just what lots of us desire it to be, isn't it? So we have a place to make our own dog actions. By the way, programming this dog is never anything complicated -- in my case it is just a few commands typed on my phone.

I love playing with the pre-assembled Bittle. It works right out of box. Such an amazing robot dog that walks like a real dog! It really amazed my friends and families. I do need to calibrate the joints of Bittle once in a while. After wall, it's still a mechanical thing that its screws may get loose after all the walking and running.

Easy to build by simply following the Youtube video. Software load and build is straightforward but best accomplished using a combination of Youtube and the online documentation (very simple if you’re already familiar with the Arduino IDE). I had no previous Arduino experience but since it’s easy to use this was no bar successful completion. The whole thing was pretty straightforward and when I had a query support was fast to respond and gave detailed advice. Great fun to get Bittle up and walking around !

Such a disappointed recipient of this present.It has trouble moving without falling on the smootheest/thinnest of carpet.It skids on Lino.The remote is intermittent and often need s to be within inches to work.Overall a very poor product for a high price.

Solid product, very high quality. As a person who works with social robots I found Bittle to be a quality product with huge potential, especially considering you have the ability to expand the processing capability with the addition of a Raspberry Pi (not included but I have a Pi Zero 2 in the office -will try it in the new year)

This was recommended as a great gift for my grandson. He’s spent hours learning how to code it and he’s been completely engrossed. It’s good to see him doing something that doesn’t involve staring at a screen for hours on end! Very happy with this gift
