This is an excellent kit when put together properly and carefully. The instructions are VERY clear on how to make and program it. There are also plenty of videos on YouTube if you do not want to read and would like different angles or instructions.
Yes, it is made out of cardboard. That is what makes the kit very affordable. It is thick cardboard and if careful, it won’t rip. I’ve put two of these together already, and they work great.
I have only done the voice AI project so far, but there are additional and useful projects to operate multiple 9g servo motors (up to six) and 4 DC motors for instance. Those instructions look easy too follow as well.
The additional items list is wrong in the description here. This is what you will need to get this working:
1. Raspberry Pi 3 board with a power cable for it
2. At least a 16gb micro SD card with a reader to transfer files. I tried an 8gb, and it did not work; however, the SD card may have been bad/too old.
3. USB mouse and keyboard
4. Google account
5. WiFi
6. Double sided tape
7. A small 00 Phillips Screedriver (similar to eyeglass kits
8. Some free downloaded software and an image mentioned in the instructions.
9. A computer to download these files and transfer them to the SD card.
Since you will already have a Raspberry pie for this project, I recoomend trying other things with it. There is a lot you can do with them.
Excellent purchase. Will definitely be purchasing more. A rather impressive device once built, and kids love asking it questions. Google AI seems to work better than the Amazon Echo AI. It seems to do pretty well understanding a 4 year old.

The cardboard is damn sturdy.
I was a little concerned after reading reviews of others complaining about the cardboard. It's actually pretty f******* thick. Like seriously. Unless you have some big ok gorilla hands, this product shouldn't tear. If you still have a problem with the cardboard (not sure if you should be buying this BECAUSE IT LITERALLY SAYS GOOGLE CARDBOARD IN THE TITLE) you can lookup online for 3d cases you can print off or I've seen others convert theirs into radios etc. But for the price it's worth it. Easy instructions and I was able to build this in about an 1-2 hours.
