Today i spent about 4 hours completing the tower of the landing platform. Like somebody warned us earlier some parts are quite delicate and hard to put in place. But this kit doesn’t have a high difficulty level for nothing. When everything was put together i hit a mayor problem. After flipping the switch the lights didnt light up. The final light on the string got stuck and had a break in it. I had to take the top part apart and rewire the string. The last liggt fel off the string and i thought it would probably be broken and i would have to start from scratch but after the light fel off the string lit up and i put the top back together. I flipt the switch and the light went on. I clickt the swith and the arms and rails moved as it should. I’m so happy. Now on to the shuttle itself.
I can’t wait to get that far. I did finally get my lampboard to work so I am to the point of finishing up my electrical. So glad your lights worked out for you.
Hi @Jerry_Boswijk
I’d love to know how you feel every time you switch on the string lights. And how did it feel the first time you were about to finish your first challenging ROKR kit?
That sounds like such a rollercoaster of emotions! It must have been so frustrating when the light didn’t work, but you handled it perfectly. You must be very proud when the light works. Can’t wait to see your progress on the shuttle itself!
I really admire the way you kept going with this build. You can really feel the ups and downs in your description, and it makes the final result even more meaningful. That landing platform looks amazing . ROKR builds always test our patience, but finishing them brings such a rewarding sense of achievement!
Wow, what a journey! Seriously impressed by your patience and skills—taking apart and rewiring the lights sounds like a major hurdle, but you totally nailed it! That moment when everything finally works is just the best feeling ever, right? That’s exactly why we love building ROKR kits: the challenges make the victory even sweeter!
So happy it all came together in the end. Can’t wait to see the shuttle take shape—you’ve got this!
What a journey — from delicate pieces to rewiring under pressure… and you pulled through like a pro! Stories like yours are exactly why we love building ROKR kits — it’s not just about the finished piece, but the focus, the emotion, and that unbeatable feeling of I did it!
you totally nailed why we’re so into ROKR/Rolife kits too—it’s all about that feeling of pushing through a challenge and coming out proud on the other side. There’s nothing like the mix of focus, excitement, and satisfaction that comes with bringing each piece together
I enjoyed every minute. I like long projects. Time flew by indeed. In totall inthink i already spend 15 hours or so and still need to make the shuttle and rockets
Yes it felt amazing especially because first time nothing worked. When i did the stafe 2 testing everything worked. So i wasnt expecting that nothing would work but i staued calm and fixed it i a few minutes. Luckily i didnt have to brake the hole tower down
im so glad you got it all sorted out! 4 hours i feel like is fast?

Even with the wiring trouble, you fixed it and got the lights working — so satisfying!
