Toys and Games Reviews of Erector Spykee - The Spy Robot

Customer Review: Couldn't relate to poorer reviews.
Summary: 5 Stars

I read several Amazon.com reviews before buying this robot. From what I had read it seemed I may have a 50%50% shot at enjoying Spykee. After recieving it I opened all the pieces and at first was a bit overwhelmed. Although the instructions were VERY CLEAR - Just read which parts are needed for each step and get your parts ready before doing each step. All of the parts have small numbers on them as well. Also someone mentioned that it was flimsy, and I didnt think that at all! The screws fith great, some a bit tight but with a minor effort they fit. Also, I have never built anything in my life from kits or models so this was a first.

ALTHOUGH prepare yourself and be patient. I was expecting the construction to take 3 hours, and it took about 3 and a half. This is a robot, not just a toy, and there are alot of great places with modifications to it online as well. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids its not like a remort control car!

Overall it was challenging, but fun, and fun to use through the internet. I am looking forward to doing some modifications when I have time in the future.

Description of Erector Spykee - The Spy Robot

Spykee, the spy robot, is a crafty 'bot that you control via the WiFi connection in your computer. This means you can give Spykee commands from virtually anywhere in the world! Plus, he does just about everything except feed the dog.

Spykee moves, watches, hears, speaks, takes pictures, records video and sound, and can act as a surveillance camera. What's more - when he begins to lose steam, he automatically heads back to his charging station (included) for more "energy." Compatible with classic metal Erector sets, sold separately. Requires one 9.6V battery (included). Measures 12" x 12" x 12".
