Fun Little Ball Machine!
I am a Middle School STEM Teacher. I bought this product as a fun activity for students to do if they finished other classwork early. It took about 3 hours for my 12-year-old student to complete building. They had minimal trouble with building the model; however, there are some parts in the instructions that ask for something to be built twice and some parts that do not need to be built twice. My student got a little confused and ended up building something accidentally twice as it wasn't clear to him that he only needed one for that part.Mechanically, the model works well and is quite fun to turn the crank to. I have several of VEX's ball machines on a table and this one always has the most students gathered around it trying it out.Pros:+ Instructions are in English (not translated from Chinese)+ Visual, detailed instructions+ Easy to fix mistakes+ Model works as intendedCons:+ Lots of small pieces

Pay attention to Instructions
Incomplete assembly instructions, and a missing part made this build much more difficult than expected.Update. 8 yr old assembled with wrong part choice. Watching a video of a working build enabled the build error. Missing piece was in wrong place, so nothing missing. A few minor rubber band adjustments and it worked great!

Great design and fun for kids
It took 2 days to finally assemble this and kids had fun to play it . There is only one tiny part that doesn’t work that smoothly but I guess this is more like kids inappropriately assembling . Anyway , I do recommend buying this product .

Great fun and consistent operation
This kit is very sturdy once assembled and is simple enough for a child to help. It's been in use in my house with young children for several months and is still kicking after being dropped, broken and put back together twice. It's also a great introduction to gear box adjustment when configuring the cycle offsets for the arms.

It works more or less as advertised.
It operates pretty much like it's supposed to. It doesn't always pick up a ball and drop it like it should.

Difficult but fun.
My grandson loves putting things together . He is 10, always putting together and taking things apart. This was a challenge but he loved it .

This is a good starter kit in to the world of STEM
Bought this for my 8 year old son. It took him all day to complete but was able to do so with only needing my help to clarify a step in the process a couple of times. This is a good starter kit in to the world of STEM. Highly recommend it.
