User questions & answers

Question:	I am a teacher. Will I be able to reuse this product by disassembling it or is it a one time use
Answer:	You can disassemble it, though you will need to be careful. The pieces are plastic and for the most part, snap into place.
Question:	Is it possible to program/code the robot to do more things? Is it controlled by a microcontroller
Answer:	No you can't program it to do more things
Question:	Is this too young for an 8 year old
Answer:	I think that an 8-year old could put this together with some assistance. My son and I put it together. He is 8 years old, but cognitively around 6 years old due to handicap. He was able to do a lot of the work, but needed help and supervision along the way. He enjoyed the putting it together with me more than playing with the robot. 
Question:	Can it pass butter
Answer:	It can, but if it does it has an existential crisis and stops working.

User questions & answers

Question:	how many tiles are included
Answer:	10, if I remember. Just as an FYI, I purchased this for my 6 year old granddaughter who had great fun decorating the tiles. Well worth the money.
Question:	is there a sealant included? What finishes the magnets
Answer:	it is paint on a tile, magnate sticks on back,,,pretty basic kiddo fun
Question:	What age group would you recommend this for
Answer:	I would say 5 and up. Anyone you would let use markers or paint. On some of the tiles we used that colored foil and it's "glue" for shiny designs. On some I gave my grandaughter all different sizes/colors of gems and she glued them on in her own creative way. You can also let them color the background with marker/paint and let them stamp on a shape cut from a sponge/foam dipped in their favorite color. Lots of ideas for all different ages.Hope this helps you out.
Question:	Are these magnets strong, or do the tiles fall off the fridge easily
Answer:	This is great product. My daughter made holiday magnets last year. Color stayed and it is still on fridge which never fell yet. Good art piece !!!!

Question:	How are the chimes attached to the terra cotta pot? Are their pre drilled holes
Answer:	Hello. I did not give these away, so I can answer with ease. There are pre-drilled holes. Everything comes separate. After you paint the pots, you attach the chimes to the pots with included strings. Our pots were already painted with a base-white. I hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this compatible with regular Lego brand legos
Answer:	Yes! But don't buy the book! It is a total waste! You need 350 of your own Legos in order to build the things that are in the book! My son was so disappointed with it!
Question:	Is this set too difficult for a soon to be eight year old? He has lots of legos, and loves building with them
Answer:	I think it's suitable for 8 years. There are instructions to read to help build the different devices, but there are pictures as well to help with the parts needed for building. I think it would effect for this age. I use it with second and third graders and they do well with all parts of the kit. I'd recommend it!
Question:	Does the lego classic medium creative brick box 10696 have everything i need to make all the machines
Answer:	I think you will need more. For example, the pop-up flag & falling hammer project uses 11 (2 of those included) 8x2's. One project also includes a 4 peg slope brick that I can't see in the picture of the brick box. For the pulley and bucket project, you'll need what looks like 28 4x2's (or pieces that add up to those).
Question:	What is the main age group this book is written for
Answer:	There is no way to attach a number to who could benefit from this book. I purchased it for my then 7 year old grandson. However, his Dad and I have been very active with him with other hands on building projects since he could walk. That being said, at seven he still struggled to figure out some of the possibilities presented in this book. Some even put my 68 year old brain to the test. Whatever the age, be prepared to work with the person and enjoy doing it.

Pixicade Mobile Game Maker sets a new standard in both entertainment and learning.



Appealing to wide spectrum of interests: kids that love drawing, kids that love video games, kids that like solving puzzles...they all are amazed at seeing their creations come to life! Parents love it because kids actually put down their phones or tablets and pick up markers and paper. Kids love it because they can draw their own games, share them with their friends, and play them on their phone or tablet. Create up to 1600 games on one device or up to 800 games on two devices.



Pixicade extremely is easy to use. Kids get to draw a picture of an idea for a video game using colored markers and real paper. Then, using the Pixicade app available for iOS and android, all that is needed is to snap a pic of the piece of paper! The image is then brought to life as an actual video game that can be played on a phone or tablet! The app only requires a camera and an internet connection. (iOS 8.0 and up, android 6.0 and up)



Pixicade was created by a high school art teacher who saw imagination and creativity in students decreasing.



Included in every boxed kit are 5 washable colored markers, instructions with 2 unique QR codes and 3 guide books that are specifically created to help kids focus on designing. The guidebooks train kids how to create games by teaching them over 50 game designing concepts. These include training on developing mechanics and game design of avatars, movement, hazards, and more. Over 100 game examples and concepts are illustrated for inspiration. Have fun with the 33 activities and 44 drawing pages. See product photographs or video for examples.

• 🍎 #1 FUN LEARNING TOY TURNS DRAWINGS INTO VIDEO GAMES— Kids and teens use colored markers and paper to turn hand-drawn concepts into instantly playable video games! This game does not fit into any existing toy category and the only limitation on Pixicade is your imagination!
• 🍎 BEST GIFT IDEA FOR KIDS AND TEENS— If you are looking for a favorite gift for boys and girls ages 6, 7, 8, 9, 10+, then you have found the ultimate toy for birthday parties, Christmas, and reward incentives! It includes 5 washable markers, one sketch pad, and two interactive books that teach kids game design concepts, and provide a lot examples to keep kids drawing!
• 🍎 AWARD-WINNING GAME THAT INSPIRES CREATIVITY! Winner of the 2021 Newsweek Best in Stem, 2019 Gold Award Recipient Mom’s Choice Awards, 2019 Tillywig Award Winner for Best Creative Fun, STEM.org authenticated product, The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval!
• 🍎 SURPRISINGLY SIMPLE AND EASY-TO-USE! Simply draw your game on paper, snap a pic of it, and then play an animated version on your phone or tablet! Create your own character, build obstacles for them to overcome, and design the goal for how to win the game! This is a game you will feel good having your kids play for hours at a time!
• 🍎 EDUCATIONAL STEM GAME FOR HOME & CLASSROOM! Make your teaching moments more fun and memorable using art, engineering, story, creativity, and playing video games! For example, you could have your child make a game based on their favorite book. Or create a math game based on what they are currently learning in math. Interactive learning is far more effective than any other teaching method! Education should be fun!

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this come with the device you play the games on? My kids do not have a phobe/tablet/computer but really want this. Wifi required
Answer:	Hello, the Pixicade kit does not come with any devices. It comes with the interactive books that teach game design, washable markers, and an instruction sheet containing 2 QR codes to unlock the app. The app works with most ios or android devices. Again, to be clear, you must have your own device (ios or android, phone or tablet) to use this product.
Question:	Someone commented all the games were used. Is there an ongoing fee to use this device
Answer:	Hello, we believe the person that commented that all of their games were used was simply logged out of their account. We would love to help the person log back in if they require assistance, but have no way to contact them directly. Our team is vigilant about helping customers if they experience issues and are always here to help, so please don't hesitate to contact us for support. The QR codes that come in the kit allow you to create 800 games each, for a total of 1600 games on one device or 800 games on each of 2 devices. In our experience, these counts provide months to years of normal usage. If you do create the full 800 or 1600 games, you can add additional game creations through an inapp purchase. There are no monthly subscriptions. The only other charge you may incur is an optional $.99 inapp purchase to enable children under 13 to share their games. This charge is only applicable for users under 13 and is required to comply with federal COPPA law, and does provide an additional 100 game creations.

User questions & answers

Question:	The 48 page manual wasn't included. How can a get one
Answer:	We're not positive but we doubt it. My son said that he's wired things incorrectly before and had to go back and move wires around to make the circuit work. I'm guessing that since it's a kid's toy, they probably have some safeguards in place to prevent shocks and that those safeguards would probably protect the equipment itself too.
Question:	do you need to hook this up to a computer
Answer:	They are almost all simple GPIO sequences and/or triggered functions. 1-6 are dedicated inputs, 7-12 are dedicated outputs, 13-14 are connected to a digital to analog converter and have been dedicated to sound. This DAC is in the chip. A-H from the program bridge. This is potentially the tricky part as multiple jumpers can be used at the same time. You must jump at least two together to do anything. As of yet I do not know if data is transmitted along these jumpers or if the hold a constant signal. Something else interesting about them, they are paired A = B, C = D, E = F, G = H. The processor package appears to be a QFN-44 and it is not equipped with internal pull-up or pull down resistors. The lack of capacitors on the inputs says they are either internal or there is a PIC or the like in the chip. My guess is that this is an 8051 processor by Nuvoton. If you know MPU or GPIO programming you should be able to make a fuzzer and figure it out quickly. If not it should be easy enough to map with a logic probe and an oscilloscope.
Question:	Can this be broken by wiring it improperly? Like touching DC + to
Answer:	No. If you daisy chain them (usb-c to first ande then Display port from first to second monitor) you get the same image in both monitors. I got two monitors to display different desktops by using 2 usb-C cables, each connected to a usb-C port on the macbook pro. That way you can get up to 3 desktops (MBP display and 2 external monitors)
Question:	Does anyone know if there is any documentation of the microprocessor programs, inputs, and outputs
Answer:	Yes, you can use another source for picture in picture mode. For further details, please look on page 50 of the user guide below: http://www.viewsonicglobal.com/public/products_download/user_guide/Display/VP2771/VP2771_UG_ENG.pdf?pass
