My son, 11 yrs old, was happy to test Ollie! He had a great time figuring out how to control it and zooming it down our street. It took a few tries, but he got the hang of it in a half hour or so. Ollie is even small enough to use in your house (since our Winter weather has set in). Ollie is not water proof, so you have to be careful not to hit puddles or use in wet weather.
Ollie is controlled by an app on your phone, tablet or iPod. Being app run, it allows you to master and share all your tricks with others.
This is a fun robot that flips, does tricks and zooms up to 5 m/s.
It’s really durable and is super fun. You can customize it with hubcaps and tires in various colours.
Customize your Ollie with a full spectrum of tire color and style options.http://snip.ly/HlAH
*NOTE on Customer Service: We received the Ollie to review and when we tried it out we could not get it to connect. I contacted their customer support and they talked me through a few trouble shooting options, but nothing fixed the problem. We had a dud. Not to worry, their customer support was fabulous, and shipped us a new one within a few days and threw in a t-shirt as well. I would highly recommend contacting their support team if you have any questions or comments about Ollie. They were fabulous to deal with!
