Customer Reviews

Great STEMMy son had the regular set of snap circuits and loves them. He saw this rover and instantly wanted it. He got it for his birthday and has built and rebuilt it many times. Everything works perfectly, he drives is all over the house, and I love that he can do this on his own or we can do it together. The only downside is that when he reverses it, it makes an annoying beeping. 5DOES NOT WORKThis was supposed to be my son's main Christmas present. Out of the box it didn't work. The company sent us a new remote because the casing on ours was cracked so we thought that would be the problem. It wasn't. So over a week after Christmas, still no rover! So I ordered another one. With Prime it came quickly and it worked! But it only worked for 1 day. Now it will not work. My son is sad, I'm annoyed at the time and money wasted. We have loved our other snap circuit kits, but this one is not worth the money! Hopefully we can get our money back for both of them. 1For your family's budding automotive engineerThis was our second Snap Circuits kit after the basic SC-100 set. Our seven-year-old asked for this one for Christmas and it was a big hit when he opened it. Shouts of "Awesome!" when he got the first car project working completely on his own. (Well, Dad helped with the battery installation -- the battery compartment doors are *very* difficult to open, and you need 6 AA and 1 9V battery, not included.) I can imagine that kids who have used other pre-built toy RC cars might be underwhelmed by the speed of the car (and this toy is definitely indoor only), but our kid had lots of fun steering it around the living room and working out how to modify it to do cool things like drive in a circle on its own. There are a number of projects in the accompanying book which are mostly variations on a few themes, but there's plenty to keep a kid interested and learning new things. Everything works with the other Snap Circuits kit parts too. 5Great education and fun! Wonderful customer serviceI (and my 5-year-old son) love this Rover. We already had the basic kit and the advanced kit; this added a new dimension to it all. My 5-year old is very much into making circuits. Many mornings, I come downstairs, and he already has an exciting circuit to show me.WARNING: Many people (myself included) have experienced a dangerous burning out of the Motor Control unit (which included melting of the plastic). Lesson learned: Don't leave the power on when the rover is not in use!!Fortunately, the company (Elenco) has amazing customer service. If a part is defective/broken, they will send you a replacement for free; they have been very good about that over the years.Snap Circuits sets are great for learning electronics. I am a college physics professor, and I actually use them in my first-year physics class for teaching electronics. 5Very limited compared to the other kitsBowen liked the Snapcircuits Arcade kit so much that there are days when he wakes up at 6:00am and asks to do projects. So when the Snapcircuits Rover went on sale during Black Friday my wife and I picked it up.The concept is fairly similar: you get a breadboard that's mounted onto a chassis. The chassis contains the batteries, wheels, motors, but none of the electronics that you then wire together to put together a remote control vehicle. The remote is a simple flimsy remote that's fixed function, by contrast.The problem with the rover, however, is that it's of very limited variation. The wireless module and the control modules are two very big blocks that are connected by a bunch of resistors. In fact, as long as you want to receive signals from the controller and move the rover, you don't have any choice but to wire up these two big blocks a certain way. The problem then is that you don't have much space left on the breadboard for much else. Thus, the kit comes with 3 rover variations, and all the other projects basically treats the rover as a fixed unit supplying the power. Worse, the manual states that your other Snapcircuit kits (save a few exceptions) cannot be used on this circuit board because the voltage and power draws are different.If I were the designer of the system, I would have fused the wireless and control modules together into one block, eliminating the need to take up so much space on the board. Furthermore, I'd also include a voltage stepper so that the rover would be compatible with other Snapcircuit kits.As it is, the Rover sounds great, but is so limited that Bowen basically never played with it again after one night. I returned the toy to Amazon and he didn't even notice!Not recommended. 2Fun and imaginative toyAnother good buy for my 10 yr old girls birthday gift. About a couple different snap rovers can be created with the circuits provided. A lot of fun for boys and girls alike who like to let their imagination soar. However, batteries ( does not come with the set) are pricey and when on the go, the noise is a bit aggravating. All said, my daughter loves playing with it. 4Surprising DisappointmentReally disappointing to have to return a Christmas gift for my son. I can say everything was easy enough for my son to understand and put together, however, the rover didn't work properly. Sounds like others have had the same issue of the rover working for a very short time (seconds honestly) then stopping. There doesn't seem to be a fix for this problem. We returned and bought him a different snap circuit kit. He loves them and generally has a better experience than this. Would not recommend this product. 2Came broken and repackagedMy kids have used several different snap circuits sets, and most of the time they are an extremely popular toy in our house! For this reason, we purchased the snap circuit Rover for my 6 year olds main Christmas present. It was very disappointing, when upon opening the box, we found that the antenna on the remote had been broken off and taped back on with electrical tape. There was also a thick plastic component that had been shattered into several pieces and repackaged. I paid full price for a "new" item that was clearly used and broken. Very disappointed! We will be returning it, but it does not alleviate the disappointment of my son on Christmas morning! Like I said, typically we are pleased with snap circuits, but this was an extremely disappointing situation! I am not sure how it happened. 1Fun and EducationalOur boys love Snap Circuits. We started them with a more basic set and recently purchased the RC Rover. There are several different "labs" that they can build through in the manual. The rover was actually pretty fun to drive around. The left and right joysticks are both forward/back only so to move forward you push both forward and to move backward - both backward. You can turn by only apply left or right, and you can actually spin 360 degrees by pushing one joystick forward and the other backward. Took a few minutes of getting used to.One note about batteries: Amazon's Product details only list the 9V as required...but further down in the Product Descriptions you will see they correctly noted that this Snap Circuits kit requires six AA batteries and one 9-volt battery - none of which are included. 5Outstanding Product and Customer Service.Our six year old son has been bugging us for a while to get him a remote controlled vehicle. Having previously bought the Snap Circuit Jr. set and been thrilled with it, my wife and I decided to purchase this as his gift for Christmas. My thought was "if you want a remote controlled vehicle, you're going to build it yourself, kiddo." His aunt purchased the UC-90 upgrade kit as her Christmas gift for him, so it worked out great as far as money spent, as the Deluxe Rover close to $100. The kit is amazing. You have to read the inserts in the project manual for information regarding wiring as some of the wires are about a 1/2" too short it seems. Now, after a week of terrorizing the dog with this thing (the son, not me), the unit quit working. Batteries were good, so that left one of the over 100 parts to troubleshoot. The project manual gives you specific projects to build as a diagnostic tool to track down a faulty part. This is an important and well-thought out component of the instructions. I did the tests, and found out the Deluxe Receiver was not longer working. So, I called the company, and talked to an actual person for a brief second and was then transferred to the voice mail of Parts Department where I had to leave a message with my name, address, and the part I needed. So I left the message, thinking "eh, I'll have to explain that I tracked everything down, that my kid didn't wire it wrong, etc.". Nope. I got a call a couple days later saying that the part was on its way. A week and two days after I called, I had the part, and we're back to terrorizing the dog and learning about resistors and capacitors.The rover itself is actually pretty cool. Doesn't drive too fast. A bit loud. Easy to drive. In my opinion, a nice balance of science project and recreational vehicle.Can't say enough about my positive experience with this product and the company. Well done! 5
