Gyrobot is an experimental robot that can be made into different forms emulating different robotic experiments. However, I wish to state how the robots works overall.
Just how does this work. After putting it together like Legos, the gyrobot once turned on will start moving and balancing itself on it's own. I do however feel the wheels start up too slowly as it really is disappointing, even for a toy robot. The robot does however balance itself despite having it's wheels be disproportionate to it's upper height. I like how that was done. It was smart to have the robot balance on it's own. however it's main problem is how slowly it starts and stops. Many electronics don't work that way. Imagine having a game be designed where it had slow loading screens!
You can put the Gyrobot together different ways according to directions in the booklet. I chose to stick with the most common design being the one that looks on the box. Don't forget that unless the bot is fully moving, it will need some support or it will fall to whatever surface it's on. It has a neat design to it and it's head looks similar to that of Iron-Man's. Gyrobot was also easier to assemble compared to the 600+ Lego pieces for some sets.
Conclusion is Gyrobot is awesome but it's robotic wheel structure is cryptic in starting and stopping.
