Terms, Conditions, and Frequently Asked Questions
What do I receive with the robotics course?
For the 3-month duration of the course, you get to use the KIBO 18 Robot Kit (value $530), two curriculum booklets (the KIBO Home Robotics Guide and Creating with KIBO), and a set of activity cards. These materials must be returned at the end of the course. You also receive two consumable workbooks (Engineering Design Journal and Assessment Workbook) which are yours to keep.
How does shipping work?
Shipping both ways — to you and back to us — is included in the price for anyone in the continental U.S.! When you are ready to return the materials at the end of the 3 months, you can use the included return shipping label. (Save your box to make it easier to return.) If you need a new label, you can contact us by email. If you live in the U.S. but outside the 48 continental states, a shipping surcharge will apply.
How does the purchase option work?
If you’d like to keep your KIBO and materials at the end of the program, that is wonderful! The price to keep the entire kit is $425, a discount of over $100 off the price of the materials. You will receive buyout instructions by email during the course.
What if I do not return the materials?
If you do not return the materials within a 10 day grace period after the end of the three-month course, we will bill your credit card on file for the $425 buyout fee. If we are unable to charge your card, we will contact you for alternate payment.
Does my KIBO come with batteries?
In order to comply with shipping safety rules, we do not include batteries pre-installed in your KIBO. KIBO requires 4 AA batteries. Please remove batteries before sending KIBO back!
What if I damage KIBO or the components during the course?
Normal wear and tear is expected; this is robotics for young learners after all! If at our determination any damage is beyond wear and tear or resulted from mis-use of the KIBO, we may assess a restocking fee to cover the damage.
Do you clean the kits between customers?
Every kit is completely cleaned when it returns to the factory, following the cleaning and sanitizing procedures outlined on our Technical Support page.
