Meccano-Erector - Micronoid Code Zapp Programmable Robot Building Kit

child mechanical and technical assembly teaching.

My grandson loved this. His mom and he spent about two days in assembly. He is seven and did very well. It was certainly doable, but neither thought it was “easy”. They both thoroughly enjoyed the challenge!

My 9 year old who is a dab hand at building most things found this far too fiddly. Once we'd built it for him he loved it, but disappointing that it was so hard to put together.

If you buy this, firstly work out the bolt lengths as they don't match the descriptions - they are all different lengths to the ones specified. You basically have long/short ones that are fully threaded and long/short ones with an unthreaded section. The nylock nuts were strange - there should have been 6 but only 5 if them were the correct size. Ended up having to replace nut and bolt with my own as it would have been a hassle to send it back. Disappointed with overall quality.

Hours of fun for my 8 year old. Great toy but a little fragile. One of the legs broke after a week or so when he stepped on it. Still it is a good purchase for early stem learners.
