I got one of these when I backed them on Kickstarter. It was a fun build and works well. I gave it to one of my neighbors' kids since I didn't really see myself using it all that much, and he enjoys it.

If you mean assembly and doing some programming I would think middle school with an adults help for a few steps in assembly. Some of the toughest assembly is getting the wiring to go through to where everything can close properly, otherwise not too bad.
