Toys and Games Reviews of Snap Circuits RC Rover

Customer Review: One of Elenco's All-time Best Kits
Summary: 5 Stars

We found the Elenco R/C Snap Rover at a local thrift store (and lucked out, all the components were still there and functional). I had been familiar with Elenco's product line (especially their robotics kits) for years, and the quality of their kits (and most importantly, the instructions) is very, very good. This one did not disappoint!

(Just a note: I rated its Durability a 4 out of 5 because the small electronic components are mounted on top of each building block, and thus exposed they can be easily damaged by careless hands (or by driving under low clearance furniture).

I'd been concerned that this kit would be too advanced for our 6-1/2 year-old (it's recommended for Ages 8-108), but our son is a skillful reader and an experienced LEGO builder, and so he dived right in to building this kit. After he read the instructions aloud, he proceeded to assemble Project #1 and Project #2 (both of which result in a drivable radio-controlled robotic rover with two additional functions). Other than doing a final circuit inspection, Dad left him to his own devices, and he did great! Best part is, there are still 21 other circuits he can build with this set.

The look of joy on our son's face when the rover responded precisely to his hand controller was so very much worth the purchase price, in fact, it would have been worth ten times the price. If you have a budding engineer (or gadgeteer) in your family, I highly recommend this kit!

Create a Rover with Working Electronic Circuits
The Snap Circuits RC Rover kit comes with over 30 pieces to create a remote-controlled rover and other devices. It features a plastic rover body unit that includes large, treaded plastic wheels, and a handheld remote control unit with antennae, both of which are used to create several different versions of a remote-controlled rover.

The kit includes snap wires, slide switches, electrodes, and other pieces that snap together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. Children can follow illustrated directions to create working circuit boards that power the rover and other projects.

Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work to run their rover and the everyday devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions.

The project manual starts out with instructions for creating a rover with a working LED headlight, and features several other rover configurations. Kids can also put together a rotating light, a generator, a saltwater detector, and other devices. While they're completing these projects, children will learn about electric switches, radio reception, gear movement, Morse code, and more.

The RC Rover kit can be upgraded to the Deluxe Snap Rover (SCROV-50) with the purchase of a UC-90 upgrade kit . Kids will enjoy additional parts, manuals, and projects that'll take their Snap Rover to the next level.

This Snap Circuits kit requires six AA batteries and one 9-volt battery (not included).
