My son and I have been working on this kit and it's quite fun. It's a great way to introduce him to a more advanced area of robotics. But since he's still young I'm having to go through everything ahead of time to make sure I remember the stuff (eg: C/C++ programming side). It does work with mac so that helps I would have had to figure out the PC setup again as I pretty much only use apple these days.

Great time once you get it working and learn to do some things. You'll learn how to plan and troubleshoot coding and hardware setup.
