Review: Have bought two "halfpipes". One from a toy store and one from desertcart, both worked for a minute then the motor went haywire and it wouldn't flip over anymore. Too bad, these are a cute robot series, we have the rest of them and they are neat.
Review: Unfortunately I couldn’t recommend this item. We had one bought as a gift that broke within minutes. I thought I had broken it so bought a replacement and this also broke within minutes. Have contacted the company and so far no response… it was cool for the minute that it worked!

This is a very entertaining toy -- fun to watch these robots do wacky movements! My 6-year old grandson was able to assemble it by himself. Loved them -- purchased all four!
