Record Racer

My child’s favorite project so far. She loves mechanical and electrical engineering. This crate was perfect for her

This was fun too make, took some brain power and has been played with a lot. 

Challenging which is great…such a cool great idea!.. In progress realized he had done something wrong and was able to see it and fix it without anyone telling him and without frustration  WIN

My nephew assembled it (9yrs), and has taken it everywhere to challenge everyone to beat his record. Great project. 

Our classroom is really enjoying Record Racer. My Special Ed students are attempting different speeds with various obstacles. However, the speed differentiator is very precarious. One must turn the dial about 1/3 of the way on before it starts going, and then the race "jumps" into high speed. We're learning how to work with it and compensate. It actually adds another level of difficulty for my students, and that's not all bad!

This is one of the best KiwiCo products we have purchased. Our grandsons love KiwiCo kits and have spent liked this one the best. It's one of the sturdier kits, it works extremely well, and is great fun to play with when completed. The boys 11 and 13 built them mostly themselves. The 13 year old built his all by himself. He had to tear down and rebuild several sections because he didn't read the instructions, but eventually got it working correctly in about an hour or two. The 11 year old, likewise, didn't read the instructions, but got everything right except the steering mechanism. I had to fix that for him. They have played with them for hours.

Great quality, fun project for kids that like games!

So, I do love this toy and recommend you buy it. My 8 year old daughter built it with next to no help. My only beef is they added a “starting line” onto the wood surface but the groove of that line stops/grabs the car and knocks it off the track! So the car gets literally knocked off every single rotation as it crosses the burnt in starting line. Such a bummer and serious design flaw. My be specific to our batch that came off the line but was a very disappointing finish for an otherwise great toy idea.

Jumping Robot

Awesome robot! My 8 year old built it all by himself and was very proud of result. Good quality and durable!

My 6 year old grandson and I had a wonderful time putting this together. He loved the end result and that he can also be creative to make it look like other creatures/characters. Great education booklet also!

We gave this as a gift to my 8 year old nephew and he built it with his grandfather. They remarked that it was very well made and cleverly designed. They had fun putting it together and it worked like a charm jumping around. 

I must admit  ! I love the idea of KiwiCo.  We are new to your company.  I have bought more products than we have made yet.  Jumping Robot's are waiting for  birthday's in April.   They  looks wonderful.  Give me some time before I give my official review.

Great kit, lots of spare parts and options to customize with your own style. very engaging and fun for kids.

Loved watching grandson assemble. Excited with Jumping robot - he joined in with the jumping!

My grandson has not got it yet because it was ment to give him on some very rainy day when it`s not possible to play outside. I`m sure that he vill absolutely like it 


Amazing! The instructions are very easy to follow and the product works very well 

I have purchased before for another grandchild. This one is waiting to be built. However, I am sure it will be fantastic.

Domino Machine

Really good fun. Easy for my 8 year to make and then we played with it for ages. Thanks for another great invention!

Awesome fun! Definitely recommended. My 6yo loved building it 

We bought it for our 9 year old nephew and he loved it.  His parents said the quality was much better than other kits he's received.  Everyone liked the fact that he could do it himself.  

My daughter (9 years old) had so much fun putting this together with a little help with me.  She has lots of fun playing with it.

My 11 year old loves this!  He named it DEM (Domino Extracting Machine) and it comes out to play regularly.  We've had it more than 6 months now and it's still a hit.  He's so proud that he built it himself!  It even has controls to turn different directions so you can pay dominos on a curve.  

Excellent build instructions, quality materials, and honestly it lead to hours of fun for my 9 and 7 year olds. 

Was great to build for my 8yr old at the time. Physics aspect was intuitive, results were rewarding, and enough  instructional length to keep it engaging without tedium

What a great gift for my 8 year old grandson. Such quality components and clear age appropriate instructions. Fabulous 

My grandchildren were so excited to receive the Domino Machine. These kits are the only thing they ever want for their birthdays!

I sent this to my bonus granddaughter in Croatia and got 2 for my granddaughters here. Once all 3 had them, we built and played them via facetime. They all enjoyed it. The 7 yr old & the 12 yr old enjoyed building them. The 9 yr. old gave up in the first few minutes. The 12 yr old finished hers too. 
It was not difficult to build, but challenging enough to keep them all interested. 

My 6yr old son loved this project and had seen the bigger project featured on YouTube. This is for an older age group but if your child is very mechanically inclined or very interested. It is a great project even for some younger ones even if mom and dad need do it with them.

It’s pretty nice but the last few all over

This was by far the best project of any type we have ever put together!! It was fun, came with excellent directions despite the fact the online instructions couldn’t be found! If I can put this together with my kids, anyone can! It took us about an hour to get it ready and the outcome was seriously amazing!! Mark Rober is a genius and this little domino machine is our new best friend! We will be using this project to move forward with studies on potential and kinetic energy! I’m 41 years old and enjoying this little guy just as much as my kids (maybe a little more)!! So worth the price, which I feel is more than reasonable for everything you get. You will not be disappointed with this domino machine!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!!

This was a great DIY project.  The instructions were very detailed and easy to follow.   This is a great project for both kids and adults who have the need to build and create.  The pieces are made well and I love that no messy glue was needed.   I plan to purchase more products from Kiwi in the future.    

This was a fun easy build! My 10 y.o. son has spent hours playing with it setting up dominoes. We even did a race between myself and the machine, and let me tell you this little machine is faster. Thanks, Kiwico, and Mark Rober! 

What could be cooler than a domino run? Well, how about a robot that sets up the dominoes for you! With this crate you can build your own robot, then use it to help lay out amazing domino runs!
