Which of the many robotic [microcomputer/microcontroller|microcontroller] platforms ([Raspberry Pi], [Arduino], [micro:bit|microbit], etc.), which of the various programming environments (graphical, [Python], MicroPython, C++, assembly language), and then which specific robot to choose has as much to do with one's requirements as which robot is most appealing to the eye. There's also the question as to whether to purchase a ready-made robot, a kit, or design-your-own from either an existing system or a bespoke robot from available parts (truly "on your own"). And also whether to purchase something that grows with one's experience or is limited to the specifics of the chosen robot. I don't consider "age level" really much of a factor since it's pretty clear that a 10 year old and a 70 year old may share the same level of previous experience, interest, and ingenuity. But having the flexibility of multiple programming environments is a factor in any robot's favour.

How old does someone have to be to use a micro:bit? That's not an easy question to answer, but "age level" is not so much a factor since it's pretty clear that a 10 year old and a 70 year old may share the same level of previous experience, interest, and ingenuity. Success is more about enthusiasm, curiosity, and how much time one devotes to learning than anything else.
