I used this product with my students, this does not draw correctly and the calibration won't work on it, Also this does not come with additional codes and the website is no help.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Artie Max allows children to be able to learn coding in an engaging entertaining way. Children code the robot and then it completes their drawing. Artie has line detection and smart sensors that aids in the coding process.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids are obsessed! I was honestly pretty intimidated by this toy, as I have no clue how to code. It was so easy to pick up though and my kids all got the concept soooo fast! I have a 9 year old, 6 year old and 4 year old and they have ALL enjoyed playing with this so much. It is so fun to watch them learn and create in such a unique way. I've already told my mom friends that they should get this for their children. It is incredible!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Artie Max arrived and we were all excited to code and play with him. I did a parent no no and forget to get him out right away to charge him but what came after that provided enough frustration that I was ready to toss him right out the door. I get needing to register and download software but it was not made easy. For this being a coding toy in 2022 the website was very basic and the guide to update Artie was a little painful. After a break from Artie we came back to only find out the program he uses is best on a tablet or desktop/laptop, some parents don't have these. Instead of being Bluetooth enable, allowing the device being used to still connect to the internet, it connects to its own Wi-Fi connection. This connection was spotty and made for logging into the website, which was glitchy, a little bit of a nightmare. When it did work I thought there would be a little tutorial on ow to use the program but what you get is whatever the instruction booklet provides. For younger kids this makes this educational device not ideal for parents who might want the child to play for 30 min while learning so we can accomplish another task. For me that task was setting up our next school day task. Each level only has one try this walkthrough and then you get to self discover. I did love that you weren't bond to the set program, you could use without the markers and that there was different programming. I would have loved to see a better walkthrough guide, a few game led coding sequences and a better explanation of each tab at the top. I personally wouldn't recommend this to my friends with kids close to the 8 age recommendation. The child needs to be able to read and comprehend step instructions well, how to take a picture and copy it with no help and be more self reliant. If you also want to play or go into this with a headspace of you sitting there as the parent and helping direct or correct then it might be a great device for your family.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very smart idea for kids who enjoy drawing and smart gadgets, highly recommended for young children getting into shapes and drawing, and learning patterns.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] From a parent who is a programmer and a kid who loves Scratch and coding we had to give this a go. The interface was easy to connect to and navigate, the programs were all clear and tutorials helpful. We used a few types of paper on a clean desk surface and had trouble. Running the robot with different manually or preinstalled designs was easy but the robot did not cooperate. When it moved it seemed to get stuck and the marker would create a jumble in a space less than centimeter instead of executing the full design. We ran Artie on a full batterie as well. The idea is there but the robot needs to be lighter or the wheels more durable.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free for my honest opinion. This device is a lot of fun when it works. It goes from simple to much more advanced complex coding. It is a great way to get your kids feet wet in the coding world. The issue I had which was a big one is that it rarely would connect. I tried on multiple PCs, tablets and phones and I could only get it to connect about 7% of the time. Then once your are connected the Artie Max I had would often disconnect and then would not reconnect. Once it disconnected in the middle of the drawing it would stay going in whatever direction it was heading until I flipped the switch off. I went to the website and updated the firmware. I troubleshooted with the limited information provided. The other part to keep in mind if you have a young kid and an older one beware of the younger kid jamming a marker in the marker spot with the lid on. It was nearly impossible to get the lid out but after 45 minutes of frustration we got it out. Overall it's an impressive unit they should give up on the self projected Wi-Fi and use either your local Wi-Fi or USB to connect to code. The onboard Wi-Fi is awful and takes an incredibly long time to load the local website through the Artie Max. I have read about their previous model and it sounds like they eventually solved most the connectivity issues on that one so maybe someday in the future this will get the much needed patch to solve that issue. Until then I cannot recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took us a couple of tries before we could find a device that Artie would work on. We couldn't do it on the tablet because we needed the internet and Artie was connected via the internet and another computer was just having issues. Once we were able to get it working, my 9 yr old had a great time with it. She did the demos, but quickly started figuring out how to make other shapes. Luckily we have giant old construction plans so we did not have to worry about space on the paper, but I can see how that could be an issue.
