First, you will need a device with bluetooth capability to connect it to. Slide the switch on Soma until it shows orange, then hold bluetooth button a few seconds, orange light will start flashing. Select bluetooth symbol on laptop, (strange looking symbol, usually bottom right). Select add device, select Soma BT on laptop, click next. You should hear a beep shortly, which means Soma is ready to use. Or, go to Ipod/iPhone's settings, then go to bluetooth menu. Select Soma BT, a beep will mean device is connected & ready to use.

it's for christmas, so it hasn't been opened yet. sorry. PS OMG, my son-in-law worked on the tail for a very long time. Finally, my daughter took over, couldn't get the tail in, so she resorted to pliers, promptly breaking it. So, I had to order a new one on Christmas that will be here on Saturday. Another electronic toy, the Arachnid remote control, didn't work because there appeared to be a missing piece, so my 6 yr old grandson said he must have been a very bad boy for Santa to bring broken toys. I felt so bad for him, I probably wouldn't have reordered this toy, but you see the position I was in. Santa would replace the toy and didn't bring a broken one on purpose. it's for christmas, so it hasn't been opened yet. sorry. PS OMG, my son-in-law worked on the tail for a very long time.

@ Benjamin H.Well. I put mine inside my wife's car. Hid it in the back with the jack where I would have access to it to change out the batteries. They only last about a week, but you don't loose the data. If your covering more spaces of time. I'd erase it after each download. Otherwise it gets monotonous searching through old data. The magnet is pretty strong but I wouldn't put it under the car. At a hundred bucks I'd hate to have lost it. Is picks up the signal pretty good inside the car, maybe under the seat.Hope that helps Good luck. Just remember; you ask questions, you get answers. @ Benjamin H.Well.

my son is 9 and still needed his dad's help a bit (with head, body, and wires). they spent 1 night taking all the parts off and bagging them (included w/sticker lables); then another night building head and body; and then 3rd night building robot. both had a blast and probably spent about 3-4 hours between the 3 nights for 1st robot.

I am told it worked fine, I sent it to my nephews. I do know that it does not need to be charged it should work the moment it is plugged in. BUT the whole thing is one circuit. If one piece is not properly connected the whole thing will stop. Make sure each piece of track is connected properly and and everything is correctly plugged in. The only issue I was told of is that the 5 year old got a little frustrated the first time as the cars came off on each turn. When the 4 year old tried rather than pulling the trigger all the way down he pushed it down less, which makes the cars slower so it stays on the track. Once they realized they needed to slow down in the turns they fell in love with it. I am told it worked fine, I sent it to my nephews.
