Mr. Dog Poop: I'm overwhelmed.

Jeff: I have the solar panel parts out.

Mr. Dog Poop: I love the solar panel, but I want to see if it drives this motor.

Jeff: There's some tiny pieces here. One thing I'm not going to use is the stickers. I don't have time to.

Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, that would take forever to put the stickers on.

Jeff: I don't have time to make it pretty. I'm just trying to make something. Oh my gosh, these parts are itty bitty. I probably should be separating them, not pouring them all in a pile.

Mr. Dog Poop: They don't make any sense. I don't know what the robot's supposed to look like. Which pieces do I put with what? I mean, it says no batteries needed. And then right here on the first page of the instructions, it says I need scissors, these, which I just happened to have because we're cutting cables over here for the studio.

Jeff: I have an ax.

Mr. Dog Poop: I think an ax will do it. It does say this is a motor. It's got some shafts and some different stuff.

Jeff: Oh, my goodness. And it says there are six different things you can build.

Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah, so there's six different things you can build, but how are you going to know which pieces to use? I got some sun over here. I brought some solar power with me, and I'm putting that on this, but the motor's not going.

Jeff: All right.

Mr. Dog Poop: The motor's not going. So, I guess I'm going to try some batteries.

Jeff: Yeah, I guess that should work.

Mr. Dog Poop: So, I am going right now to get two AAA batteries for my solar powered robot because the solar power apparently doesn't run the motor. That is the smallest motor I've ever seen in my life. It's crazy.

Jeff: Yeah. See, I'm stuck on the very first part of the instructions here. Because this right here says yellow. And this is the piece. And if I yellow, so I'm already, what am I missing here?

Mr. Dog Poop: AAA batteries. Okay. So, I have to admit you got some extra batteries last week or this week? Some.

Jeff: Oh yeah.

Mr. Dog Poop: Four A batteries. Apparently Fat Chris ordered the batteries. He thought they were AAA batteries, but they're four A batteries.

Jeff: I got AAA.

Mr. Dog Poop: I don't think there's anything that they go to. So, we had to reorder AAA batteries.

Jeff: Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen four A batteries. TrucksR4Me was saying you maybe want to give a little more time under the light, see if the solar thing works.

Mr. Dog Poop: Okay, well, the motor's turning on the batteries. So, the motor, you can't see it, but it is turning. Okay. So, definitely works on the batteries. The solar. So, solar gets plugged into the same thing. It's not charging. It's just supposed to run it. And oh, there it goes. So, if I put it right there on the right, on the surface of the sun. I don't know if you can see that. It's on the surface of the sun and it's starting to go. So, right there is where it starts. So, it is solar powered, but I can tell you that it needs a very large light bulb connected to an outlet almost touching it to run the motor. So, that's a failure because it's not going to work anywhere. And you're going to need the two batteries that are not included.

Jeff: Yeah. Presumably, are you having your kids build this outside? Because I think you'd lose pieces unless you're really organized.

Mr. Dog Poop: Oh, this is nuts.

Jeff: If there's a breeze, half of your stuff is gone.

Mr. Dog Poop: I mean, I can't even imagine trying to understand these instructions.

Jeff: In my instructions, this is supposed to be yellow, so I'm already confused.

Mr. Dog Poop: Yeah. In all fairness to us, the kits that have been coming in have different numbers and different things. One says STEM, one says STEAM, one says 258, one says 285. Do we really trust this?
