Could you please describe how your light sensor works? I'm not sure if mine is
malfunctioning or not, I rang Lego Australia and they couldn't tell me but they
said I could send it to them (at my expense) and they would get it checked out.
I'd rather not do this if it actually works as it should, obviously :)
Anyway, the instructions state that you can play tag by pointing a torch beam
at the sensor. Mine will only sense light if it is in a totally pitch black
room and then it will sense any light anywhere in that room, directed at the
sensor or not. How you can play tag like this beats me. Also, when the 3 (or
was that 4) "lives" are used up I can press the yellow button to reset the
lives, they reset on the display and it makes the startup sound, but then the
light sensor does not work at all until the Mybot is switched off and on again
(removing and replacing the pilot).
So, does yours do this or is mine a lemon?
As for the original question of "is it worth it?", I paid $AU 139.95 for mine
and it is definitely not worth it. Sure it's fun, but it is essentially an
expensive fancy light and sound unit with a few Action Wheeler accessories.
My 5 year old thinks it is wonderful but that's the novelty value at work, I
can tell that once he has discovered all it does he won't be interested any
more. The box states 4+ but I'd think ages 3-4 is more like it.
