Nybble cat review

Supportive team. Mr. Li gave us time several times to fix calibration and other setup issues. My son learned a lot.
Great product and supportive team.

Nybble cat robot

This robot cat is unique in that it is constructed of wood. Assembled without issues, and there is a large amount of on-line documentation that is very helpful. When you get it wandering around with additional coding, it really is a cute “cat” and the included instincts are good simulations. I am impressed by the responsiveness of Petoi tech support, with e-mails answered the same day and thorough assistance including video calls. I was not previously familiar with Petoi but Nybble looked very promising so figured I would take a chance. Glad I did.
