Requires a tablet
Needs a tablet or phone (Android or iOS) to connect to in order to use (and get access to assembly instructions). Need to dismantle one robot before building another. In-app instructions can sometimes get confusing. Not compatible with Lego Mindstorms kit

“It's very cool and people should actually buy it,” my son just told me in his most serious voice when I asked for his verdict. Frankly, I have to agree. At $160, it isn't cheap, but it's got more educational value and just as much play possibility as...

5-in-1 value, Super fun coding, Mind-blowing tech for a toy
Requires tablet, No practical Lego storage, Limited educational benefit

Cinq constructions en un kit, Étapes de construction et de programmation claires, Nombreuses activités, Électronique qui se fait oublier, Peut se combiner à d'autres kits Lego pour créer d'autres robots, Application ludique et visuelle, peu de texte à lir
Pas de micro, de haut-parleur ni de système lumineux pour le robot lui-même, Robot totalement dépendant de la tablette, même une fois programmé, Assez gourmand en piles, Programmation uniquement via l'appli Lego Boost, non compatible avec d'autres langage
