My son and I put it together. He is 8 years old, but cognitively around 6 years old due to handicap. He was able to do a lot of the work, but needed help and supervision along the way. He enjoyed the putting it together with me more than playing with the robot. ο™‚ **Q: I am a teacher. Will I be able to reuse this product by disassembling it or is it a one time use?** A: You can disassemble it, though you will need to be careful. The pieces are plastic and for the most part, snap into place. **Q: Is it possible to program/code the robot to do more things? Is it controlled by a microcontroller?** A: No you can't program it to do more things ## Frequently Bought Together - 4M 5576 Table Top Robot - DIY Robotics Stem Toys, Engineering Edge Detector Gift for Kids & Teens, Boys & Girls (Packaging May Vary) - HABA Rhino Hero Game - Card Games for Kids, Ideal for Ages 5 & up - The Heroic Rhino Hero Stacking Card Game Adventure - Triple Award Winner - Rat A Tat Cat Card Game --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ro/products/60635195-4m-table-top-robot-build-a-mechanical-crab-with-edge](https://www.desertcart.ro/products/60635195-4m-table-top-robot-build-a-mechanical-crab-with-edge) --- *Product available on Desertcart Romania* *Store origin: RO* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
