Review: Totally Awesome Machines - This toy is exceptional in educational value. It offers many different gear ratios and worm gears and other interesting parts. My 8 year old son and his friend have been working through making the many different models. They delight with each new element. The models would be interesting in themselves, but that each is a remote control vehicle with different remote features is awesome. We did have one part break on the second day of use..part #29: 90 Degree Converter-Left. It broke when trying to pry parts apart. Now, that my son has identified the part separator tool, I imagine he won't have a problem with the parts breaking as he separates them. He really loves this toy. It is tops for being "Totally Awesome." Perfect for the child who has a good attention span and does well with construction toys. We hope to buy replacement part #29 as some models require all of the four provided in the set.
Review: A lot of fun!! - I have thoroughly enjoyed building with this set! The instructions and the models have changed with this set and are a little more simplified and streamlined, which may be useful information for some purchasers. The illustrations and documentation are a little different too, but all are product improvements, in my opinion!! My only real comment is that some of the plastic blocks can apparently develop hairline cracks for no specific reason, so be careful in taking them apart. They're still useable, just a little less effective. Overall, as with their other products, the models are quite interesting and well thought-out, the remote control works well, the supporting booklet is interesting, and the set is very entertaining! This would make a great gift, in my opinion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be played with by 5 year old ---he's smart & creative, loves to learn  how things work.  Advice please?**
A: This toy is very fun but takes a lot of finger strength my 8 year old also very smart had a very hard time with putting it together and taking it apart!

**Q: are the parts compatible (ie, sized to be able to snap-together) with Legos?**
A: Was gift for 9 yr old.  Parts are not compatible with Legos.  Similar but assembled machines are quite entertaining with the robotic feature.

**Q: will this run on carpet**
A: It very much depends on the carpet. I wouldn't try a shag but a regular carpet is ok. The wheels are pretty large.

**Q: If i have 2 sets of these, having 6 motors & 2 controllers, would controller set a be activating the motors of set b? i want to build a bigger machine**
A: You can use 2 sets to create a larger machine, however the included remote is designed for a single user so keep that in mind in your design.  As an example, if you toggle the left most button, that is going to control the left most motors simultaneously.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Engaging educational toy with easily breakable parts.
*by S***R on December 13, 2017*

We initially got about 80% of this set at a garage sale when my 3 year old spotted the robot vehicle on the front of the box. Fast forward 3 months, and he's putting together basic box-shaped vehicles and has a clear 'vision' of what he wants (i.e. he screams at me if I don't put things exactly where he wants it), but I'm his peon, slaving to make robot vehicles every few days. Pros: This is an awesome set making incredibly cool toys. I make my engineer friends make vehicles for my kid, and the adults get super into it. It's fun to then play with this complex, gear-driven vehicle that you've made. This is an awesome toy to understanding basic engineering concepts and make things that go vroom. Basically I recommend this building set wholeheartedly even though there are a couple of cons. Cons: - The comments about the manual drawings being too small is right on the nose -- it's hard to see which hole to put an attachments into, details of the gears and how they should fit together, etc. It's been trial and error, assembling different components and then realizing that something had to be one hole lower, etc. - The parts break pretty easily. The 3 and 5 hole pieces have very thin edges that crack and result in loose holes for the red attachments, and we bent a wheel connecting stick and a several of the longer pieces that were attached together without any space to pry the red attachment pieces out. I am a medium sized woman, so this is not because I have super human strength. PSA/good news: they have a replacements department just for this purpose. It's not that cheap, but I think worth replacing/stocking up on parts with them if you are getting serious about the set.
