    Update: After many tries, we finally got it to work, sort of. The instructions do not explain exactly how far to push the marker in the robot so she had to try many times to get it right. She's now having fun trying to figure out how to make shapes.Bought this for my daughter for Christmas as she asked for a coding robot. It's been a big disappointment. I can't even get past step 7. It wants you to connect to artie wifi then go to the website. But you can't go to the website because you're not connected to wifi. Then it tells you to go to local.codewithartie.com. I tried different devices to get to this site and nothing works. Image attached of the error message I get when trying to go to this site from one of my devices. My daughter was so excited to play with this Christmas morning but she is very disappointed. At this point I am ready to give up and return it.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, creative intro to coding. Easy set-up.
    Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2020
    My 8-year-old daughter LOVES Artie. The instructions that come in the box are pretty minimal. I highly recommend going to the website and watching the quick setup videos. For us, the set up was easy. We were able to connect to Artie’s wifi and get to the coding website with no problem. Our Artie didn’t need calibration - worked great out of the box! We’re using him on a hard floor. The drag and drop website definitely works best on a computer. It’s much harder to use on a phone - some of the controls get cut off on the phone, and my daughter kept accidentally moving the code commands when she was just trying to scroll, which was frustrating. All those problems went away on the computer. It might work ok on a tablet; we didn’t try that.

    The coding website has some fun, basic drawings pre-programmed, which is great for instant gratification. There are also instructions in the box for coding basic shapes. Once you know the basics, you can code your own designs. In the picture, you can see that my daughter (with a little help from Dad on getting the angles right) coded Artie to write her name. The mandala was a pre-programmed design.

    You might want some larger pieces of paper to keep Artie from going off onto the table or floor. Taping the paper down definitely helps!

    All in all, fun, great value for the money, and a creative way to introduce kids to coding basics.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Worthless paper weight
    Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2021
    This product (use that term loosely) does not work at all. You need to update the firmware and then connect it to the device you plan to control it with. This would not be an issue if Artie would actually connect via a data cable. There is no cable included with him either, and it will not work with any of the data cables at I have. I verified my cables work on other devices and they do, I even ordered a new cable to be sure because mine are a bit dated. But I have tried and tried to get Artie to connect to no avail. I reached out to customer support via the website and even after sending 5, five, you heard it right FIVE emails I have yet to get a response (yes I've checked my spam folder and still nothing). So my daughter who I bought this for as a birthday present didn't even get a gift this year because by the time she got to open it, (is underway at the time and she wanted to wait for me to me home) it was out of the return window. Buyer beware, I do NOT recommend this product to anyone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Learning Resources- Learning Resouces Artie 3000: Un gioco educativo per tutte le età!
    Reviewed in Italy on December 21, 2019
    Questo piccolo robot è un gioco educativo molto interessante, capace di avvicinare i più piccoli al mondo della programmazione, difatti, oltre ad un utilizzo base molto semplice per disegnare delle figure geometriche attraverso delle schede preimpostate oppure comandando i suoi movimenti da PC/Tablet è possibile utilizzare la programmazione a blocchi e addirittura linguaggi di programmazione quali javascript o phyton.
    In pratica, programmandolo a dovere, sarà capace di disegnare di tutto e addirittura scrivere delle frasi.
    Non necessità di nessun collegamento internet, la connessione avviene direttamente via wifi tra l’Artie 3000 e il device al quale lo accoppieremo, purtroppo l’app non è ottimizzata per dispositivi con display piccolo quali smartphone, per cui si richiede l’accoppiamento con un tablet o anche un PC.
    Una volta stabilita la connessione basta aprire il browser e digitare l’indirizzo “local.codewithartie.com” e da li inizia tutto, troverete nelle impostazioni anche la possibilità di selezionare la lingua italiana.
    Il robottino è alimentato da 4 batterie stilo (AA) non comprese nella confezione, al posto dei pennarelli inclusi è possibile inserire anche pennarelli o penne diverse, l’importante che abbiano lo stesso spessore, io per esempio ho provato con una Pilot V7 senza problemi.
    Oltre ad alcune immagini allego una breve video prova dove mostro il robottino all’opera in diverse situazioni, per chi fosse interessato può visionare il video anche dal mio canale Youtube in risoluzione superiore, troverete il link visitando il mio profilo personale.
    In definitiva si tratta di un ottimo robot e a mio avviso definirlo “giocattolo” è troppo riduttivo, anche il prezzo di vendita è interessante, 82,80 euro (dicembre 2019), un acquisto che mi sento sicuramente di consigliare!
