He is also finding it more fun than I expected just using it as a toy. He got the control coordination down pretty quickly, if not the finesse (more on that below), and it has been the favorite toy for the past few days.
I can forgive them the unstable base (screw it down to a board if you need to, you can’t expect more without the thing being much larger) and the fact that things start to pop when you’re zealous with the controls. Those things are redeemed by the affordable price, the clever design, and the exceptional educational value.
Next, I had issues pulling the string through each finger - my trouble really came when trying to get the thread to go through the middle finger. This is because the thread started shedding.
Eventually I was able to figure out a way to get the string through the middle finger *but* it would not pull past the middle finger into the second (index) finger. The middle and fourth (ring) fingers would start clicking together whenever I tried to pull the string from the middle finger into the last finger (the index finger).
Overall, buying this product was a waste of time and money. I will not be buying this product again and would recommend others to save their money and time as well. I will be looking for another robotic product to buy and work on.
