Great hardware, minor setup quirks
The board itself is fantastic. Had a little trouble installing drivers on Windows 10 initially but support helped me out. Works great now.

Kids are obsessed
Bought this for my 10 year old. He loves making games and music. Durable enough to handle being dropped too.

Love the Python support
As someone transitioning from blocks to text coding, the Python support here is seamless. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect for Education
Bought this for my high school robotics club. The upgrade to V2 with the speaker and microphone makes projects much more interactive. Highly recommend.
