I've had the Spykee robot for a few days and here are my first impressions, positive and negative.
The robot took me a few hours to build. I'm sure you could build it quicker but I took my time. The instruction manual is pretty good and once it's built it only takes a short time to get the thing working over WiFi - assuming you understand WiFi and how to use and configure wireless networks. It's a good idea to follow the suggestion of getting the robot working in 'local' mode, then in 'local remote' mode, then full remote mode. The robot has its own inbuilt wireless transmitter for 'local' mode and a receiver for other modes. For all modes other than local, you connect the robot to your wireless router so you do not have to have ... Read More:

I ordered two of these kits one for my 12 year old son and one for my 8 year old daughter. They opened them yesterday and today they are finished. My daughter had assistance from myself and her dad but we enjoyed building it just as much, and now she is enjoying playing with it with some lego people from other kits, as unfortunately it doesn't come with any people. They have built a different design each so looks like we may have to buy another set to build the third style of house as it seems a shame to destroy them they look so good. We all think this kit is fantastic.

The mechanical aspect of assembling the motor, and the accompanying explanation of how the motor works was interesting for my 6 year old. But the body itself is made from cardboard and was very fiddly, and took long to build. Cannot see it lasting too long.

This is quite a detailed model for a pre-painted snap kit. Glue is optional, although I did use it to make the kit more secure. Took just over an hour of casual assembly to put it together.
