BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Read the small print.
It changes the picture.
- The Standard Kit does not include the Advanced Kit vision and voice modules.
- Use the supplied charger and follow the documented battery connection and startup posture.
- Confirm the exact edition, current destination availability and delivered price with the seller. A listed product is not a live-stock guarantee.
LIVING WITH THE HARDWARE
What ownership involves.
- Assembly
- The Standard Kit includes an assembled robot, charger and USB-C cable. Initial battery connection and charging still require setup.
- Computer & setup
- A supported phone handles app control; a computer is needed for the documented code-editing workflows.
- Connectivity
- Hiwonder directs owners to connect through the Wonderbot app instead of pairing with a passkey in phone settings.
- Development access
- Official resources cover MicroPython, Scratch and Arduino. Match expansion examples to the modules actually included in your kit.
