Pale colours, broken lines, tight corners and shiny or patterned surfaces can be hard for the sensor to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eIs this a coding robot?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eNo. There is no app and no programming. The child draws the route and the robot follows it, which makes it a simple, hands-on cause-and-effect toy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eWhat comes in the box?

Avoid carpet and rough flooring, and do not draw directly on household surfaces, because markers can stain and the sensor may not read the route reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003c\/details\u003e\n\n    \u003cdetails\u003e\n      \u003csummary\u003eHow long does delivery take?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eOrders are usually dispatched within 2 to 4 business days, and standard shipping generally takes about 2 to 4 business days to most destinations in Australia.
