This is a really tiny build, lots of tiny pieces, me and my big fingers, it’s wasn’t always easy. Running the technical test almost ad the end it didn’t work, so I had to ask some advice from my husband, so he had to take it apart again half, it basically wasn’t something I did wrongly while building, it was a piece that was like that in the box that wasn’t 100% good in the box for starts, so he had to make like a hole bigger in the plastic for it to work, because it was jamming because of a hole I the plastic that was to small, it runs on batteries, so no phone charger hole in it

So of I go again with my daughter in a few hours to University hospital Ghent for the monthly check up after we had HUVUDROLL at IKEA Ghent for lunch. 2 years behind us and 2 more years to go

So pleased that your husband worked out the problem for you. The video of the beetle is great. I can’t believe how fast the wings move.

I’m glad it all went well! :pink_heart: I really don’t like bugs but this is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing the video.

The wings are actually so fast! They’re kinda loud haha. The flashing light is interesting. :blush:

These tiny mechanical ones are tough to do. I struggled on the Scorpion and swore off doing anymore of them. Well done!

I’m glad to know that you’ve resolved the issues, thanks to your husband’s advice. It looks like a real bug flying for me. :laughing: Great job on building that.

So great Sofie :heart_eyes: I think this collection is suuuuper interesting and I hope that ROKR kits will be developed furthermore. I’m just a little bit sad that this is a beetle collection - I do really hate them (sorry to all fans) but the insects are just the worst for me. I do not mind to see a mechanical spider or regular bee (that would be so nice!!! :star_struck:) but beetle I preferer in form of : Beetlejuice and The Beatles :rofl:

You (and your husband) did a great job. I think this bug is the most beautiful one of all the insects series :smiling_face:

Also, sending you and your daughter lots of strength :heart:
