How to replace all batteries for Ranger?

Hi, Here is the building video for your reference. If you need more instruction, please visit https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/sections/360001778374-mBot-Ranger or email us to service@makeblock.com.

The description says it can be controlled by remote. Does the remote come with the kit or do we need to purchase another item?

Hi Mamma C. Actually the remote control means App controller, you can install the Makeblock app to your cellphone to control the robot. If you want to control it by Controller, you can refers to this Bluetooth controller. https://www.amazon.com/Makablock-Screen-Free-Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller/dp/B07F7QHHV4?m=A2I0DT8TRUL79X&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&qid=1540435654&redirect=true&sr=1-8&ref=sr_1_8 It is not packed in the kit, you need to buy it separately. Thanks.

Does this come with an arduino ready to go?

Hi Jacob,This comes with an Auriga board which is based on the Arduino UnoB The Auriga board is ready to be programmed.Hope that helps.

Anyone able to compare this in any way to the Lego Boost? Both are essentially the same price, so is it a coin flip?

I think this one hands down is better quality.
