About the StartupDescribe your product in 3 words.
Make Coding Fun
How did you come up with the idea for this product?
In 2012, the founders Vikas, Saurabh, and Mikal got together with a simple yet big mission - to make coding meaningful and fun for kids. At that time, there was no Dash & Dot or even robots in the picture. One of the first prototypes was a modular robotics kit that you could program by adding different types of blocks to it.
What makes your product special?
At Wonder Workshop, we code in kid speak.We build coding languages uniquely designed for kids ages 6 and up, putting the power of play into their hands. Dreaming up new adventures and bringing them to life, kids master this language by transforming our characters and robots into ready-to-play pals with code.
What has been the best part of your startup experience?
The best part has been to bring laughter and learning to children all around the world. With our products, children can make memories and have fun while developing their problem solving skills, creative capacity, and sense of curiosity.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Honestly, it really is a fun addition to the robot. I love watching him use it and laugh, and then call in another gang member to play with it instead of nerf guns, beyblades, or Minecraft, which seems to be the only things they think of doing these days otherwise.
UPDATE:
After much effort, the launcher is now working. I will leave the original review in place for reference. My rating has been raised from 1 star to 3. I would only raise it to 2 stars, but my son does enjoy the limited functionality of it so we give it a "3". Even though we have managed to get the launcher to work, it still falls far short of advertised expectations and there remain several problems with this item:
1) Directions are not clear. Why do manufacturers refuse to use words and insist on using cartoonish drawings that don't look anything like the product they're supposed to be describing? A few words would go a LOOOONG way towards facilitating the setup.
2) The setup is quite "finicky". The connectors must be VERY FORCIBLY pushed into Dash's "ears". This requires so much force that it feels like one is about to break the toy. Furthermore, they must be aligned _just right_ in order to make that forced connection.
3) Even when you get the launcher attached to Dash, it must be in EXACTLY the single orientation that will allow it to work. Thus, it may require a couple of tries to get it connected correctly.
4) Once you survive the painful connection process, you have to deal with the inconsistent and fussy behavior of the launcher itself!
a) There are two holders that supposedly let you hold extra balls that Dash can use to reload his catapult. However, the catapult design is faulty and these extra balls will not load. The problem is that after Dash launches the first ball, his head doesn't return to its original location and it keeps the catapult elevated. Thus when you attempt to "reload", the catapult is not where it should be and causes the "reloaded ball" to be knocked off. Thus, despite the claim of being able program the robot to launch three balls in a program, you can only really do a single ball and must manually load the launcher.
b) The programming for the launcher allows you to "adjust" the launcher power. However, anything less than 80% of max power will not even get the ball off the launcher. We don't really understand the point of this feature unless it's to frustrate young kids.

El único inconveniente es su elevado precio. Ni los materiales ni el accesorio en sí justifican un precio tan alto. Decepciona recibir una cajita de 18x12x8cm. aunque insisto que, puestos a comparar con el resto de accesorios de estos robots, este es el mejor y con el que más van a jugar, sin duda.
