## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can it pass butter?**
A: It can, but if it does it has an existential crisis and stops working.

**Q: Is this too young for an 8 year old?**
A: I think that an 8-year old could put this together with some assistance. My son and I put it together. He is 8 years old, but cognitively around 6 years old due to handicap. He was able to do a lot of the work, but needed help and supervision along the way. He enjoyed the putting it together with me more than playing with the robot. 

**Q: I am a teacher.  Will I be able to reuse this product by disassembling it or is it a one time use?**
A: You can disassemble it, though you will need to be careful. The pieces are plastic and for the most part, snap into place.

**Q: Is it possible to program/code the robot to do more things? Is it controlled by a microcontroller?**
A: No you can't program it to do more things
