I could see this being good for 4-6, maybe 7 years old...but I can tell my 7 year old would get bored with this quickly with having to set everything up then program it to run through the setup course.
You start out by coding a character to walk around.

I'd still recommend it because as a very basic introduction to what coding is, I think there's a good value. It teaches the idea of what coding is in a very approachable, non - intimidating way. Beyond coding as a general idea, it also introduces the concept of loops and if/then logic.
Our daughter isn't sheltered from tech, she has a little tablet and a laptop at school, but she's largely drawn to things that mimic her favorite analog things like stories, puzzles, and coloring type activities, so this has been good for her. If your kid is already creating worlds in minecraft, you can probably skip this and go to something more advanced.
Basically, you can store up to 80 commands for directions, move forward or back, turn left or right. You punch them in a remote and hit send then the robot executes it.
The loops can be programmed into the code and it will take multiple loops as well. The if/then is limited to the object detection sensor, but in terms of how this works it makes sense.
The included stuff is to make obstacles or goals, move a ball around, avoid obstacles, etc.
It also has line following, but it's pretty much a one trick pony separate from the coding bit. Comes with 6 puzzel pieces to make a path and it turns around when you reach the end of the path. It will follow a marker line on paper too.
