Product Description
"The Mech-5 is a mission-based, entry-level STEM coding robot that is designed to inspire young engineers to learn about mechanical engineering principles and coding basics. Once the robot is assembled, you can code its movements by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel. Thanks to this simple to follow approach the Mech-5 can move forward, backward, and rotate 360 degrees. It can even perform more challenging tasks like throwing, lifting, kicking, or drawing.Elenco Teach products are based on STEM activities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) to teach and encourage kids in their development, all while having fun! All Teach Tech Green-Energy robots are powered by either water, wind, or sun, so there are no batteries required. Perfect for future engineers ages 10+."

8 Year Old Enjoyed Building

- Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2025We bought this for our nephew and he loves it!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024Good things come to those who wait. Bought this for my son, 10, who is noted for his meticulous nature. He had no trouble assembling it in various forms, without adult assistance. As others have said yes, there are a million and three tiny parts and screws. If you are patient and careful assembling it, then this very much is worth it. If you are looking for a quick throw together then this kit is not for you. Learning the programming wheel has a bit f a learning curve, but the instructions are very thorough (and have a considerable heft for a kit this size). The robot in operation is quite loud, but then it's plastic gears and an exposed motor so this is not terribly surprising.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025A gift for an imaginative boy. Great!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2024My 8 year old loves this robot. The programming aspect is simple but fun. The assembly is a bit of a chore though. There are MANY pieces which you have to cut out of a frame and make sure that you get all the barbs off so the gears can run smoothly. I’m fairly good at mechanical things and it took me a couple of hours to make sure it was working properly. I would advise having a jewelry making snips tool, small screw driver, and sand paper on hand for the assembly. Those things are not included. If buying this a a gift I would make sure that an adult is prepared to help the kid assemble it.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2022Although I liked the robot for my Grandson I felt it was too fragile. Plastic pieces that are part of drive system break easily. No replacement parts found to fix.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2024This is a very good robot. Not an ordinary STEM project, it makes your child work, think, spend time and effort. Might be a bit challenging but that what it makes it so interesting. Highly recommend for anyone interested in STEM
- Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2024My 8 year old son and I enjoyed building the robot together. It is a little smaller than I was expecting, but my son loves it! Be sure to only cut out the pieces you need during each step of assembly as there are many pieces. My son can't wait to see it in action!
