RC Car

I decided to take it slowly and go with the game’s recommendation with starting off with the RC Car. The game does a good job of breaking down the builds into high-level steps that users can easily go back to and encourages breaks between these steps. It also shows off a reverse-montage of what you’re about to get into in case you were wondering how involved a build would be.

Now’s probably the best time go into the quality of the actual cardboard. The game continuously warns users to be careful not to bend it while popping it out from the runners, but the cut-outs have been done so well that they can be removed without any significant force. There’s a satisfying snap with every piece you fit in, and it’s thick enough that you won’t tear it or bend it out of shape while building them. These were built with children as the primary consumer, and it’s very apparent that Nintendo did their research and testing to make sure these won’t end up in the garbage a few days in.

The finished product is oddly cute and fitting. The Switch gains an antenna that allows it to “communicate” to the RC car.
