I have used Ozobots in my classroom for a couple of years now. I decided it was time to stretch myself and purchase Ozobot Evo. I have to say Evo takes my class to a whole new level of computing and coding. I have to work to keep up with the discoveries my students are making with Evo. It's not hard with all the resources the folks at Ozobot.com offer. This is a tremendous computer science tool that keeps kids engaged with limitless possibilities. It is very durable and makes exploration easy. Highly recommend it!
We bought this for our 9 year old daughter for Christmas. To our surprise our 12 year old son and his 12 to 13 year old friends put the Xbox down for a day to join her in teaching this little robot how to dance. I highly suggest getting the starter pack along with the ozobot
A little robot with a lot to offer. Allows users to customize their coding experience by using the line-based coding or blockly coding. The blockly coding also has different levels depending on the age/experience of the user. I bought for my 8 year old daughter and she was able to use it within a few minutes. I also was able to use it on the expert level without any problems. The Evo is small and easy to lose track of, so you should buy a case or use a divided organizer with some foam to place the robot in.
App is easy to use and allows users to unlock different features as they use the robot more. Keeps track of your progress and gives you coins to spend on different things - just like in video games.
The only bad part is the robot works for about 60 minutes of continuous use. This was expected due to its small size. Easy to charge with the micro USB cable - takes about 60 minutes to charge 100%. Easy to tell when charged because the LEDs on the front indicate power level while charging.
Had a problem adding friends to my account to see their progress. Contacted user support, never heard from them. Otherwise, fun to use and best of all easy!
My kids love these little bots!
I couldn’t give 5 stars because one wheel stopped working around day 4 of playing with it. Customer service was so accommodating, though, and sent a replacement. They took care of the return shipping on the broken one too.
I wish they were more durable and the only other complaint is that they run out of power fairly quickly.
The coding is so much fun and there is a lot of variety in what you can do. We bought 2 - one for each of the kids - and they love how interactive they can be. We love how they can use a scratch style interface and click a tab to see the bare code.
The app let them friend each other and they can send each other pre-written messages and bot emojis. It also allows them to come up with their own username and to name their bot!
The ozobot comes with all kinds of extras - the markers, stickers for personalization, a “skin” - a durable rubber covering to put the stickers on - and a stack of challenge/coding cards.
We are currently considering buying a couple more.
My daughter loves her Ozobot! It is very intuitive and she has been having a fun time coding with markers.

Cool product. But there are currently Bluetooth connectivity issues with the latest iPhone software. I called Evo support and they told me they are working on it, but until it's fixed, you have to restart Bluetooth and the phone before each use, which is a pain.
Evo is awesome! My 13-year old son is having a blast programming it. And it's so tiny and cute!
12yo loves playing with it, but there were only a few cards in there to inspire her to keep going. once she finished that, the novelty was off.
Really great packing both inside and outside. Very good product quality and accurate movement except bluetooth pairing and 1st connect have to repeat many time but once it is connected, really reliable movenent.
Perfect birthday gift for eight year old! He loves it and there's so much to learn from it.
