## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it come with warranty?**
A: Hi, We have a 365 day warranty for this item, for information on this you can view it on our website.  Thanks Claire

**Q: can you run 2 in a confined space?**
A: Hi, No I wouldn't recommend this as they use the same frequency, I think they can be used in the same room but must be quite a distance apart.  Thanks Claire

**Q: how does this compare vs the robot mouse option?  they are similarly priced, same manufacturer..**
A: Thank you for your question, I would say that whereas the mouse is an introduction to coding concepts Botley has more advanced features such as object detection, If/then programming and black line following mode. Thanks Claire

**Q: Is this too young for a 9 year old?**
A: It depends on the skills and knowledge of the potential user. If they are comfortable using computers/tablets/phones then possibly it is too young, but it might help develop their confidence if they don’t use computers fully.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Educational
*by S***S on 9 October 2020*

This is quite simple in many ways - but that’s partly the beauty of it. It raises interest and questions in children about a complicated subject area. Hence - a really good idea. My children have enjoyed messing around with Botley. Would recommend.
