Great but confusing
Riverbotics
My robotics team has a few of these robots. We tried all of them to make sure that it wasn’t just one, and still nothing. The start button didn't work. We were super disappointed. Then we tried clicking the block start and the top start and it worked! Very confusing but it works fine.
GOT IT! … Finally

Like many others, I couldn’t get the play button to work. Tech support is nonexistent. REBOOT YOUR IPAD. This was what finally got the play button to work for me. My best guess is that the other app, Blockly, was gunking up the works, running in the background.
Does not work:(

My daughter whose 4 yrs old loves her robot but can’t read. This app would have been perfect for her if it worked. So disappointing!!! App says it’s connected to dash but does not move when the play button is selected.
Doesn’t work!

I love the idea of this app for non-readers! However, 95% of the time, when the students tap start, nothing happens. It’s very disappointing.
DOES NOT WORK! ☹️

Nothing happens when you connect, create program with blocks and tap the pink button. Very disappointing!
