Review: Well Recommended Coding Bot for All the Family - From the moment we got this, Botley has been a huge hit with the age attraction spanning from three year old and upwards, all the way upto adults in our home. The instructions are clearly laid out with the challenges ranging from the very basic, suitable for a three year old. To very challenging! - even the adults here, found the exact coding required to perform a task, pretty challenging! ▪︎A Complaint: I read someone comment that their Botley didn't rotate a full 90° (turning about 80° instead), when commanded to 'turn right'. I can only imagine they had a faulty bot, as it does turn a complete right angle when requested. Allowing you to code without having to worry about improper turns. ▪︎ The Remote: Don't be fooled by the simplistic, colourful and chunky designed remote. It's an attractive format to get the young interested into early coding, but this robot offers so much more whilst keeping the experience 'fun' and positive for the younger audience, all the while, learning essential STEAM skills which this bot will grow on as the experience of the individual grows with time. ▪︎The Extras: It comes with a large selection of apparatus, to push, roll, carry, swerve, avoid, navigate, follow and adhere to. It also has some hidden 'Easter egg' codes to make your bot perform some funny little tricks. Our youngest (age 4) treats him more like a pet, she commands him to come to him (obviously using coding), rewards the bot with a treat (from the bot's own "toys"; she blesses him when he sneezes (which he does when he's inactive for a few minutes), she chuckles with delight when the bot is coded by her to spin round and round (a coded series of left and right turns) as he feels 'dizzy' and responds with "woah, woah, woooah" sounds. A thought provoking and challenging kit that the whole family can participate in as after dinner entertainment that, with the aid of the instuctions, can direct you on a selection of age-specific levels of tasks, in order to find the ultimate coder. •• Note: Carry case purchased separately on desertcart. • 5 x AAA required. • Remote doesn't have an 'off' switch, which is rather annoying as it keeps transmitting a signal with lights and sounds when accidentally pressed in storage. Review: Fantastic learning bot that everyone wants to play with. - Botley is absolutely brilliant. I bought him as the xmas gift for my 7 year old son as I know they often use a similar bot at school to practice coding. My sister queried whether Botley would be too childish for a seven year old - but he holds up to 80 instructions so you can start to build some really complicated assault courses or set challenges for each other to knock down obstacles in a certain order. On xmas day everybody fought over him and even the grown ups found plotting the right course more of a challenge than they thought! The additional bits and bobs this set came with certainly helped make it more accessible for our younger cousin who owns the similar but simpler ‘Doc’ bot. What I really love about Botley is that you don’t need an app, tablet or phone to work him. Just a really simple remote control. We already have far too much staring at screens in this house so I didn’t want another toy that promoted that. Really pleased. Only strange thing - on the box is written in large letters ‘Straight to go right out of the box!’ But then in tiny print (requires 5 AA batteries not included’) !!! Which seemed a bit of a contradiction but luckily we had lots of batteries in the house or he wouldn’t have been as much fun on xmas morning! ## Features - Botley the Coding Robot encourages coding conceps such as if/then 'smart logic' and critical thinking skills - Children program Botley to perform a sequence of steps as he avoids obstacles, manoeuvers courses and moves objects - Botley includes hidden features and 'Easter Eggs' for users to find. For example make Botley say hi, or feel dizzy - Botley features a sensor underneath that allows the robot to follow a black line created with the included cardsBotley features a sensor underneath that allows him to follow a black line created with the included cards - Suitable for ages 5+.

Can we change frequency?** A: Hello Amazon Customer, Unfortunately, the frequency cannot be changed, so we recommend having the Botleys 10-15 ft apart from one another to avoid interference. We hope this helps! Thank you, Learning Resources **Q: Code model doesnot work** A: I had this issue with ours, like it would follow the black line but not follow the code commands. I changed the batteries to Duracell and the coding worked! **Q: What does it do?** A: With our Botley the Coding Robot Activity Set, children as young as 5 can learn to code. Botley teaches the basics of coding through active play, completely screen free. Perfect for promoting critical thinking and problem solving skills. Botley can detect objects and be programmed to go around objects with if/then logic. He can also follow looping commands, take on obstacle courses, follow black lines and has hidden features to unlock! **Q: Is 3 too young for this product?** A: Thank you for your interest in our Botley the Coding Robot Activity Set! It is recommended children as young as 5 to start coding with Botley, however, some children may be ready earlier.

What am amazing little bot . From the time she’s opened it she been busy using her imagination and coding it to do all sorts of things . I could be happier in the moment to the joy she’s getting from playing . 10/10 for me ## Frequently Bought Together - Learning Resources Botley The Coding Robot Activity Set - 77 Pieces, Ages 5+, Screen-Free Coding Robots for Kids, STEM Toys for Kids, Programming for Kids, for Kids - Learning Resources Botley Crashin' Construction Challenge, Accessory Set, Kids Coding, Construction Set, STEM Toy, Ages 5+ (Botley Not Included) - Learning Resources Botley The Coding Robot Action Challenge Accessory Set, 40 Pieces, Ages 5+, STEM Toys --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/59174139-learning-resources-botley-the-coding-robot-activity-set](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/59174139-learning-resources-botley-the-coding-robot-activity-set) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
