Interesting Animal Avatar
The interesting animal avatars makes the robot one of a kind and very interesting tool to learn or teach code and program.
Bluetooth Control Robot
This Robotic Car Kits includes a HM-10 BLE-4.0 module which support iOS system and Android system. We have provided a BT Controller App, which can be installed on your Android or iOS Phone and start transmitting the data. The app on the mobile connects with the BLE network, and then when a button is pressed on the screen of the app, the corresponding command is sent over the network to Arduino. User can use various commands like moving forward, reverse, stop move left, move right, tilt azimuth control, and control other functions. Note: 1.You Should Allow App to Access “Location” in Settings of Your Cellphone When Connecting to Bluetooth Module. 2.Remove the Bluetooth module before uploading test code, otherwise, you will fail to upload the code.
It has great features like the light follow, ultrasonic sensors and can be controlled using an IR remote or a mobile phone as well.
Light Follow Robot
We combine with photoresistor module, motor driving, to build a light-following robot! You just need to use 2 photoresistor modules to detect the light intensity at the both side of robot. Read the analog value to rotate the 2 motors, thus drive the tank robot run. Upload code on keyestudio V4.0 development board, put the DIP switch to right end and power it, the smart robot follows light to move.
Ultrasonic Follow Tank
We can make use of ultrasonic sensor to detect the distance between robot car and front obstacles. Control the motor rotating by measured data, thus control the motion of robot car. Put the obstacle (its surface is preferably flat) with an appropriate distance in front of the robot, the robot will move with the obstacles. The 8×16 LED matrix panel will light up and display the moving icon.
Obstacle Avoiding Robot
Obstacle Avoiding Robot is an intelligent device which can automatically sense the obstacle in front of it and avoid them by turning itself. The basic principle behind the working of ultrasonic sensor is to note down the time taken by sensor to transmit ultrasonic beams and receiving the ultrasonic beams after hitting the surface. The 8×16 LED matrix panel will light up and display the moving icon.
Infrared Remote Control
You can also use the infrared remote control to navigate your own mini tank robot, compared to the mobile app control, it is easier to operate. 8X16 LED panel displays the movement status of the car in the form of arrows or text.

Top Quality kit that gives many ways to have fun, and includes many ways to help you learn Arduino.
The first thing I look for in a learning kit is the quality of the kit. Not only do you get very good material with this project but you also get a good amount of learning tools in programming that you have at your command. I have built other kits that were not by Keyestudio and I must say that Keyestudio kits offer the best of both worlds. Assembly of this kit is done in a way that you will learn a lot about the Arduino programming Language. Assembly was not only fun but when completed I had learned a lot about the Arduino programming. If you are not a Arduino programmer don’t let that scare you away. When I first started building Keyestudio kits I was brand new to Robot training with Arduino. You don’t have to learn Arduino if you don’t want to, because you can just enjoy building the kit and enjoy using the Tank robot. It is a really fun vehicle to drive around and to build. I will have to admit that I have a little of my second childhood in me and quit fully enjoy driving it around the house. I can see why they name it a Tank because it will go just about anywhere you want it to go. I can’t wait until the weather warms up so I can have some fun outside with it. It has more features available than all the other kits.LED program, Light Following, IR Remote Control Bluetooth App, Obstacle Avoiding, Ultrasonic Following,This kit earns a solid 5 stars from me. Don’t let the reviews that claim it is hard to assemble scare you because it is very easy to assemble and comes with a complete set of photos of each section of the assembly. Keyestudio has come up with many kits that are not just fun to assemble, and drive, but include many ways to start learning to code with Arduino. I am 80 years old and I have had a great time learning with this kit and even more fun playing with it when it was done. And for all the adults out there don’t think you are too old to have a lot of fun building this one, get two and build it along side your child. You can even use Mixly with this one. It comes with everything you need to assemble, code, and drive all by IRRemote Control.

Great product
Fantastic gadget for learning Arduino programming.High quality product, well-made, with sturdy and well-finished materials.Assembly is of moderate difficulty and can be done by older children accompanied by an adult with some experience in this type of assembly.The manual is well explained and all the necessary software is available at the Keystudio website.One note: Do not download the app from the Google Store. Install it using the link shown in the manual. The Google Store app has several bugs to Android.The product ensures hours of fun assembling the robot and several weeks of studying and learning Arduino programming.

Amazing kit, you get what you pay for!
Viewing this kit on Amazon does not do justice to actually getting it and seeing everything it contains. This is a kit that could keep me occupied for MONTHS, because it is not just a simple kit that you put together and enjoy for an afternoon, after which it sits on a shelf and collects dust – this kit is a genuine robotics platform that will stimulate your creativity at any level. An example of this is the choice to include several control methods for the robot, such as IR, bluetooth, ultrasound, and light sensitivity. At first I was thinking, “who would need all of these?” Now it makes sense, because you can use any one of them alone, but once you choose to combine them, the sky’s the limit! I attached pictures of everything it contains, and you can see how diverse the range of included components is. Even the mechanical parts are solid – there are well-made flange bearings and fasteners – every detail is attended to with this kit.Would I get another one? Absolutely. This kit is several kits in one, and it is a solid starting point for anyone looking to explore the creative side of robotics.

Ambitious kit; pretty fun and unique – instructions and assembly could use a bit of work
First of all, as shown in the pictures, the kit really does come with almost everything you’ll need, short of a phone and a laptop to control and program it, respectively.Although, as mentioned, it does not come with batteries. You’ll need to source your own 18650 cells. This isn’t too difficult (and understandable given import/shipping restrictions), but keep in mind that this is something else you’ll have to buy, which does increase the cost of the kit, and means if you’re gifting it to somebody you’d better buy them some of those batteries, too.This wouldn’t be such a big deal, but the instructions barely mention how to properly deal with the batteries. Like, if you plug the kit in over USB with the batteries installed and you unplug the USB, the lights stay on for a bit (even if the batteries were dead before) which insinuates that plugging it in charges the batteries. It might, but I honestly don’t know, and the instructions don’t clarify. Further, I don’t know if the batteries are supposed to be installed after the robot is assembled or not, but it’s very difficult to get them in after it’s all assembled.At any rate, the parts it does come with are, in my opinion, of good and consistent quality. The sensors are in ESD-protection bags, and the bits of hardware are pretty well labelled. Some little screws are not labelled, so you kinda have to go by what fits (like for mounting the servo).Also, I noticed four main errors in the instructions. For one, there is one place where the Bluetooth module is shown to be installed incorrectly. When you’re putting the robot together, make sure you double-check how the Bluetooth module is supposed to be installed (look at more than one picture for the orientation). Second, the image showing how to install the little “horn” of the servo, the plastic bit that connects to it and lets it rotate the assembly with the ultrasonic sensor, is upside down. The horn actually fits perfectly, but you won’t get it to fit if you just follow that picture.Third, the way you install the wheels is a bit unclear. Before screwing the two sides of the bottom part with the together, scroll down in the instructions to make sure you don’t install them the wrong way. It is a bit unclear, since the instructions tell you how to put one side together, then tell you that the other side is a mirror image. Which it sort of is, but it’s a bit unclear until you see some more pictures.The fourth major error I found is more of an error of assembly. The IR sensor is very difficult to install, since you have to somehow put a tiny nut onto a screw that is very short, through a small hole in another part. I couldn’t get it to fit properly, so I installed it upside down. It is not perfect, but it does work that way.As well, it took me a very long time to figure out how to install the tracks. I honestly don’t even think I did it right after all, but it took so long. In my opinion, the biggest problem with the instructions was that they did not adequately explain how to install the tracks to the wheels.Now, the wiring is where this kit really shines. The instructions are quite clear about what goes where (just make sure you know which motor is which) and the top part has some holes for cable management. I was honestly somewhat worried for the wiring part, but it was easy and actually fun, in my opinion.And the programming is straightforward, too. The drivers are included with the Arduino IDE, and it should work automatically. However, the instructions do state that uploading code to the board will not work if the Bluetooth module is installed on the board. Of course, since the instructions tell you to install the Bluetooth module in the assembly portion, and the assembly portion comes before the programming portion, it is easy to forget. If you get the following error while uploading code, try unplugging the Bluetooth module and trying again. It might work:avrdude: stk500_recv(): programmer is not respondingavrdude: stk500_getsync() attempt 1 of 10: not in sync: resp=0x60I do wish this was included in the instructions, in some troubleshooting section. I know, the instructions do include the admonition to disconnect the Bluetooth module before uploading code, but having this specific error message would be a fine addition to them.Anyway, the mobile app for controlling this robot is actually really cool. For me, at least, it connected very easily to the robot, and the controls were really responsive.However, as I explained above with the tracks, they were the most difficult part of the robot to put together. And while I don’t think I did it entirely properly, the robot in its final state was a bit underwhelming for me.I couldn’t get it to go very fast, like in the video, even with known fully-charged 18650 batteries. Might have been some problem with the tracks, or maybe my batteries didn’t provide enough current somehow? I honestly don’t know. But it was difficult for it to get traction, even on tile and wood.Overall, it’s a very cool concept, and I really like some of the things Keyestudio has done with this kit. For example, I really like the app, the Arduino code samples are good and easy to follow, and the individual pieces are quite high-quality. The instructions are alright, though as I’ve said they are lacking in a few key areas.I don’t honestly know if I would recommend this robot – I couldn’t get it to go too fast, the battery woes still exist, and some parts of the assembly process (like the tracks and installation of the servo and IR sensor) are unexpectedly difficult. But for someone who has had a bit of experience with Arduino projects, little robots, or these types of things – at least most of the assembly process is a lot of fun, and the final product (assuming you don’t run into whatever issue(s) I faced that made my robot very slow) is pretty great.

Prodotto molto simpatico, ho acquistato questo oggetto per sperimentare la trazione con i due motori e i cingoli. l’assemblaggio è stato molto semplice grazie alla guida completa di tutti i dettagli costruttivi realizzati con disegni in 3D. La struttura è molto solida perché composta da piastre pre forate in allumino anodizzato e i due motori sono tutti in metallo con un ottimo riduttore il quale ne conferisce una coppia notevole.La presenza del alloggio per le due batterie 18650 danno un’ottima autonomia nel suo utilizzo. Il display che indica la direzione o lo stato del Robot lo rendono accattivante. Molto interessante la possibilità di utilizzare tutti i componenti singolarmente per sperimentarne il funzionamento con gli esempi riportati nel manuale. Bene l’utilizzo di due shield differenti una per la connessione dei componenti e l’altra per i motori.Ottima la guida che spiega l’utilizzo della programmazione a Blocchi rendendolo decisamente più coinvolgente per i ragazzi come mia figlia (14 anni).Prodotto consigliato per chi ama sperimentare con il mondo di arduino e dei robot pur non avendo nessuna conoscenza dei due mondi.

Got this mini robot tracked kit from Keyestudio through amazon, and was really impressed with the quality of the box and packaging it came in! Opened and unboxed everything (all high quality parts too!) but was dismayed to discover that the bluetooth receiver module was missing. Sent Keyestudio an email to tell them of this error in my kit. Well they wrote me back and said that they would replace the missing part but would not send it from china as this would take to long to get to me……? SOOO….they sent me a new complete kit from amazon NO CHARGE! Wow, what a great after sale service to get from a seller! This kit is of high quality and at a good price AND you can count on them if you have a problem..parts…programming… other… and they will be there for you. The build is fairly simple( they even include assembly tools in the kit). All the programming is on their on line site and is complete.Runs for Arduino Uno. The diff. progs. will make the tank do diff. functions. This is a great learning kit for10years old(with some help) to 75years old( like me!)p.s. you need to buy 2- 3.5v rechargeable batteries as they are not included. My mini does all that it says on the box, and very well too! However I have yet to test the bluetooth module as I have just received it.
