I managed to figure it out. The instructions aren't perfect. After messing around for a bit I was able to figure it out. Following the instructions didn't work.

As for the parts. I think the person who did the ordering for my program has handled it. The screwdriver that is provided isn't that good either. Some of the screw heads haven't been manufactred properly and the screwdriver doesn't fit properly. Overall these kits have been a headache to use with the younger kids. I'm not sure I would order these again.

Hi,
I am having nothing but trouble with these kits. I made the mistake of getting 10 of these kits for a junior robotic club that I am running and I feel like it was a big mistake. The first issue was 6 of the kits were missing parts(all of the same parts I might add) and some of the kits have extra pieces. I'm not sure who does the quality control or maybe there isn't any.

Now I am trying to get the software going and I have followed the instructions to adding the Smart Inventor V2 to arduino but no matter what I do, it does not show up in the list. I can't even send code to the robots. Having 16 kids from ages 8-12 in a room while nothing is working has been very frustrating.

Are there any working instructions on how to get this working properly?
