A Hands-On Experience with Nintendo Labo's Robot Kit

I'm excited to share my experience building and playing with Nintendo Labo's robot kit, which I purchased for around $80. As I began assembling the kit, I was impressed by its simplicity and ease of use. The instructions were clear, and the components were well-packaged, making it a breeze to follow along.

After completing the assembly process, which took me about 180 minutes to complete, I was eager to test the robot's capabilities. I started with the TV mode, which was surprisingly easy to use. All I had to do was put on the visor and press the "left" button when ready to start playing. The robot's movements were smooth and responsive, making it a joy to play.

However, I soon discovered that building the robot myself was an entirely different experience from playing with it. As I adjusted the strap, I realized that it felt a bit heavy, but not too much so. The adjustable strap allowed me to customize the fit to my liking, which was a nice touch. When I played around with the straps, I found that I needed to stand far away to see the strings clearly.

The robot's design may seem goofy at first, but it actually worked quite well once I got accustomed to its movements. The foot straps were an interesting feature, and I enjoyed adjusting them to fit my feet perfectly. The mechanism was cleverly designed, with a slot that allowed me to slip in my foot easily. However, I found that it could be a bit tricky to get into the groove at first.

As I continued to play, I discovered that I had more control over the robot's movements than I initially thought. I could stretch out my arms to fly freely, and even move around without any hindrance. The robotic limbs were surprisingly responsive, allowing me to manipulate them with ease.

One of the most impressive features of the robot was its ability to sense movement using white stickers on the right joint controller. This technology allowed for a seamless experience, making it feel like I was actually controlling the robot's movements. The sensors were incredibly accurate, and I could feel the robot responding to my every move.

As I continued to play with the robot, I realized that it was more than just a fun toy – it was also an educational tool. The building process itself was a great way to learn about engineering, design, and problem-solving skills. Working with cardboard and sensors required critical thinking and creativity, making it an engaging experience for both kids and adults.

However, after spending some time playing with the robot, I began to notice that it would eventually damage over time due to its construction. The cardboard material was prone to wear and tear, and I could already see signs of it getting torn or creased. This made me think about whether it was worth the $80 price tag.

In conclusion, my experience with Nintendo Labo's robot kit was overwhelmingly positive. While it may not be suitable for everyone due to its high price point, I would highly recommend it to families, educators, or anyone looking to engage in a fun and creative activity. The gameplay was unique, impressive, and enjoyable, making it an experience unlike any other.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enall right so this is the robot kid switching to the capture card in three two one whoa whoa whoa I almost dropped my joy Kahn's alright first we're gonna practice a is for and why is back so I'm the press a all it was like a page okay make it joy kind holder all right so it's telling us to make the joint kind holder and just imagine all the kids and you know you as a grown-up you're building this together all right so we looking for the AP so we gotta find the matching letter okay this is the a piece as you guys couldn't see so this is the piece that we need and we gotta take this piece apart alright so there's an icon here so it says egg and with the light bulb right next to it add two pieces of cardboard that's not thin this cardboard is by the way so it's very very thin cardboard so be careful with it now I think this would be easier if you have it on tabletop mode to be honest with you okay so we can use the touchscreen to see make sure I get a good frame so I was like iOS the slide of course you can reset it alright so they've been they bend it like this they have this part like this the instructions aren't very very easy I must say and this you just bend it so I can see this being a fun though for the kids and then now look you you successfully create your joy Khan alright your joy Khan holder and that's how you you build your first piece now you can just take the joy Khan if you get yours this one was fairly easy and you can just rest the joy Khan right in there a hundred and eighty minutes to two hundred and forty minutes but I want to lay down right now ladies and gentlemen boys and girls Nintendo lab Oh robot get it successfully built this how does baby look and I gotta say I'm proud of myself but billing it you know I mean no mistakes it was a little bit tricky on some steps but so put it on the visor very very simple you put it on your head you just press left when you're ready and there we go all right playing the TV mode is always a good choice I gotta say this backpack it feels a little heavy but not that heavy now we take him what we build and now we wear it oh okay of course you can adjust the strap play around with this a little bit to loosen it up a little bit but you don't want to be too loose weight is dangling all the way back here and someone else want to play you can just change this on the fly very very easy to do all right so pretty low I gotta stand far away so you guys can see the strings this backpack look kind of goofy but yeah oh no no no this is what you don't want to do tangle them up okay all right now time to put the foot straps on feel free to adjust the string you just slide that foot right in I guess you could say this is like tying your shoe as a robot alright guys so I completely fixed myself so I completely fixed myself so now every time I lift my foot the mechanism goes down when I put my foot down that's when the net mechanism actually goes up this person he's lifting his foot up and as he's lifting this put up the mechanism actually goes down this one is actually kind of loose very similar to the foot but this time now it's like a slot that you guys slip in so it's like about the same length okay now it is and you can just put it down you're gonna have to give it a nice little good pull down because it's a bunch of cardboard as you guys can see so it's gonna be a little bit hard to get into the groove it's kind of satisfying here the mechanism go like that the right now so I can actually move all right stretch out your arms to fly freely whoa so now you can touch your body I just gotta keep them up I could tell my body so I'm like I'm really flying it's like GTA right now that's a pretty good score though but I was just trying to show you guys the basics I wasn't really taking it too serious oh wait I can still control it Oh Julie Oh giant time extended so I guess that's the that's the goal you get more time but that's a good score right there so ladies and gentlemen there you have it Nintendo lab Oh robot kit it's a lot of fun building it and I would say you'll have a lot more fun building it with somebody else maybe your girlfriend maybe preferably your child I would say this is gonna be one of those things where it's gonna be memorable because when you spending a lot of time with your loved one or your child these are the things that your child is gonna remember I remember that time I I was building an attender lab oh my dad this is one of those products this is one of those memorable products but you just buying it for yourself it's not really worth the money eighty dollars especially it's a little much for cardboard and it's really not that much gameplay most importantly but the building and just the momentum of just setting it up and building and everything is definitely top notch it's a lot of fun but it's not as fun building it by yourself all in all but the gameplay pretty unique pretty impressive how technology and cardboard merge together it ought to be something interesting and just something amazing overall and how the sensors on the right joint con controller senses every movement using those white stickers but overall if I have to put this on the scanner one through five on E we gonna give this a four out of five or maybe want to scale one to ten I'm gonna give this maybe an eight for a seven out of ten you want to get to the gameplay portion of it you're pretty much done you know you're wild out already you understand you see how it works now it's just time to move on after that and the best thing you can do after that is just decorate the robot you're a cardboard box and play a little bit more mini game for five is a good score it is cardboard cardboard will damage over time but I just literally build it up I don't know how it's gonna be one month later or something like that but I am gonna return it you know it's a lot of money a hundred and fifty four dollars for both the kits with a variety kit and the robot kit so I'm gonna try my best to disassemble this robot and return it back to Amazonall right so this is the robot kid switching to the
