Review: Two broken - 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!
Review: Missing part from robot unit - Didn’t even get a chance to try as the motor unit is not complete and missing a piece which connects the ‘feet’ portion. Very poor manufacturing and quality control.

### ⭐ Review
*by L***5 on 17 August 2023*

Have bought two "halfpipes". One from a toy store and one from amazon, 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.
