learning experience.What are your initial thoughts of the item? What interests you? What do you want to do with it? My original plan was to create a power-shovel/tractor with k'nects alone. But it was unsuccessful power-shovel/tractor was unable to drive. I was interested LittleBits and how I would be able to create something self-moving. So decided to make the bottom half of LittleBits so it was able to function better.

What does the manufacturer want you to do with this? or what is the description of the item?
LittleBits are intended to help learn and created using electronics and k'nects are made to build and construct. I used both as intended by putting them together.
What did you think? was it hard or easy? What prior knowledge does someone need to use this toy? What assistance is needed or training if any? would you recommend this item? Would you use it in other ways than suggested?
Creating and connecting the piece was hard lots of pieces would disconnect. The knowledge I would give is them to be use tape and to be creative with the insertions. Easy assistance for connecting littleBits was youtube and looking at images to get ideas on what to create. I recommend trying k'next a littleBits they are helpful and make a good start into coding, design, and building.
What would you do next?
Next, I would try to get the shover to move and attach a bulldozing ball on the back of the power-shovel/tractor.
