I've owned a ton of Elegoo stuff. Chinese company but good stuff. If you search for them on amazon- one of their first products was the Arduino Uno Kit they provide. Really solid way to learn microcontrollers.

Just FYI- I design and prototype robots as a hobby so have a bunch of experience in this field. They call these robots- but they really have very little autonomous function. Really it's a remote controlled tank that you get to build. The type of automous robotics you can do with it involve the ultrasonic sensor + obstacle avoidance using it. Essentially you can make the robot stop forward motion if it detects something in front of it. It looks like it has line following capabilities as well.

Some notable things about it:
-Arduino Uno Microcontroller - very likely the brains of the whole thing. Kind of weird that they include this and an esp32. The arduino uno is about as slow as a microcontroller you can get.
-ESP32-CAM Microcontroller - This will add wifi and allow camera over wifi. Much much faster than the included arduino uno. The camera is mounted on servos so you can look around while moving. You might be able to some very basic computer vision type stuff on the esp32. Without an SBC like a raspberry pi though you will be very limited.
-Line following capabilities
-Obstical avoidance using ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic sensors really suck. It doesn't matter brand or model. Like really bad. Don't expect great results with it. (LIDAR is right tool for this job, or something like a depth camera)
-Includes an IMU - MPU6050 Very basic 3-axis accelerometer and a 3-axis gyroscope. Low cost but works--I'm not sure how they use it in this scenario. Typically IMUs are used to estimate state/speed of the vehicle in a closed loop control system. In this case...not 100% how they are using it.

Overall, for the price, it's a fairly good deal. Don't expect to be doing a lot of real robotics with this. It's more for learning the basics of the parts/electronics and then buying more parts to advance this design yourself.

Here is what this kit is good for:
-Learning C/C++ programming using an Arduino Uno Microcontroller (They might have something like scratch/block based programming available too)
-Learning Microcontrollers using the Arduino Uno and ESP32-cam
-Learn electronics like an Ultrasonic sensor and how to hook them up to microcontrollers
-Be frustrated because it isn't a real robot, it's just an RC car

Doesn't seem like it, Per their LinkedIn:
ELEGOO is a fusion of open-source electronics and structures that from the foundation of everything the company helps create. "ELE," stand for "electronic," representing the open-source electronic aspect of the brand. "GOO," are derived from "googol," which is the 100th power of 10, represented by the numeral 1 followed by 100 zeros. This number signifies the countless structural models that can be generated by 3D printers.

Hmm... I always knew the name from Structured Light Architecture 3d printing aka resin printing, which is kinda a goo... So I figured they were implying an elegant goo?

No. It's a metallic red. Look at the pieces that lay flat in the photos, not the one that is installed at an angle and has a light source directly on it that makes it appear pink.

Looks pretty sick regardless.

Unfortunately the general reliability of the build seem to be in question by reviewers

I find this oddly interesting in the same way as a $500 car that doesn't go. So many people would be so unhappy and leave so many negative reviews about a car that doesn't just go, instead of ... figuring out how to fix it.

I think the suggested age range may be a bit optimistic. I think many adults probably don't have the attention span required to deal with an unpolished product that may require correcting dubious engineering choices and writing your own Arduino "app" from scratch. A polished iTank with rounded rectangles and minimal work required to drive it around would probably be advertised at more than the $500 car, and would quickly be boring. I am going to upvote it, because there's $99.99 worth of pieces in a box here.

This is honestly a really cool kit but is for a pretty specific audience. Most of the elegoo kits are put together with builders and tinkerers in mind. With most of their kits you will be doing some actual programming so if that's not of interest to you, this product isn't for you.
Would make a cool gift for probably high school ages and up and specifically for someone who wants to learn programming.

I've had this in my cart awhile. It typically goes this low as it's almost never at 150 and there is always like $20 off or $25% etc.

Elegoo is a reputable manufacturer of MSLA (UV resin) 3D printers. Small but decent company.

I bought the car version of this for Christmas, for my 7 year old, and he was able to put this together mostly on his own. I did assist with some of the smaller screws. It was around $54 at that time, and honestly it's a great robot/RC car. The app has scratch coding, he plays with that to make it do certain movements, and the line tracking works really well. The ultrsonic sensor isn't that great though, it works well when it's in its obstacle avoidance mode but not for the follow me mode. Since it uses Wifi, my kid uses his iPad in one room while making the car go throughout the house with the live camera feed. For less than $60, its a pretty fun toy. The only difference that I can really see is that the tank has the treads instead of the wheels. Get the car and save yourself $40. Here's the link:
