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:	Is this too difficult for a 5 year old
Answer:	According to the packaging warnings, yes, it is. However, the most basic care and attention can avoid any issues. Example, do not consume the chemicals with clear labels of their toxicity. You basically grow the crystal then put it in a display case. It is not for handling. I am not the most careful individual in the world and I did not perish using the product. My cat was smart enough not to consume the product as well. However, if someone were to get ill from the product, I think that would be considered natural selection more than anything.
Question:	Is it toxic
Answer:	Crystals start growing immediately and are full size in 7-10 days, as long as the directions are followed carefully.
Question:	About how long does a experiment take
Answer:	For years. YEARS. It's been at least five years since I've last made these and their all missing their broken display cases but they just sit on my shelf. They are all perfectly fine, aside from maybe being pretty dusty.
Question:	Can these be displayed for years or are they disposable in a few days
Answer:	There are no googles supplied with this science kit

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this science kit reusable
Answer:	The weather kit makes a REAL WORKING WEATHER STATION,hence "reusable" We have used it at the Da Vinci Science Center for 22 kids- and plan to use it again in Dec 2014 (25 kids). It is to track weather changes, allows the data to be plotted, and lets the kids share their data to learn the temperatures in one town vary a great deal-and are not always the same as at the AIRPORT!
Question:	Is it metal
Answer:	Bill, It is not metal. It is plastic. I wish it was metal.
Question:	Exactly what items need to be supplied by the user
Answer:	Required but NOT included: A GLASS, SOME POTTING SOIL, SOME BEANS, A PENCIL, A PLASTIC BOTTLE, A DESK LAMP, Adult Supervision required when getting materials from home.
Question:	Is it better with both kits
Answer:	Each weather kit allows the parent and child to explore different aspects of the weather. They can either be purchased separately and enjoyed, or purchase one to see if your child is engaged by it and then purchase the 2nd set to round out the experience but either kit by itself would be educational and interactive. The answer truly depends on the child so if you are unsure of weather (haha get it?) Or not your child is going to be engaged by weather "experiments" you would be better off only purchasing 1 or the other and purchase the 2nd set if they get excited or engaged by it. Hope this helps despite being 6+ months since you asked.....

User questions & answers

Question:	How long does it take the charge the panel so the child can use it? And then how long does it last
Answer:	There is no charging involved. As long as sunlight is shining on the panel the robot will keep running.
Question:	Do the instructions require being able to read? Or are they visual only
Answer:	Most of the instructions are visual.
Question:	Is there a remote control for this robot? If one is put into a lake, how would you navigate it
Answer:	There is no remote. It uses a solar panel to power the gear box. Robot will take off in one direction.
Question:	How will the child code the movement for this? Is it PC coding or another way
Answer:	There's no coding involved in this kit. After assembling a model, the user can easily reassemble components into different models. These robots are powered by direct sunlight.

Elenco and STEM

“Learn by doing” is Elenco’s registered trademark and every product that it creates is rooted in this principle. From its humble roots in a Chicago-area basement to an innovator in the STEM movement, Elenco — the makers of SNAP CIRCUITS — continues to introduce innovative and educational products that drive discovery and imagination. Elenco’s products have been endorsed by K-12 educators globally and used in schools, libraries, museums, after-school and homeschool programs, STEM and Maker programs, and at home. Elenco is closely connected to the "Maker Movement", and its educational tools are helping children learn to invent and create much earlier than ever before. Elenco was STEM before the term “STEM” even existed and Elenco continues to pave the way for education in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this only work once? My son can't get it to go a second time. Wondering what to do
Answer:	It will work multiple times. Make sure after each use to clean the battery parts with water and allow to dry before reassembling
Question:	Is included the elements, for example charcoal, aluminium or salt? And is included some pieces of science kit as tube, ect
Answer:	It a simple kit, included small slides aluminum, carbon, works fine but is small, from kids 4 old years. Needs salt and water not included in the box.
Question:	Has anyone been able to find the link to order new battery sheets
Answer:	Gave this as a gift for our granddaughter. Unable to answer your question. Wish we could help.
Question:	What kind of functions develop this robot? What does it do
Answer:	It goes forward. That is it. It took my son and I about 10 minutes to build it, and it ran for about 30 minutes before the battery need to be cleaned, and rebuilt.

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
