Our new home Robot - Cozmo

[nigelpugh7]

Well this little fella was delivered from Amazon USA yesterday.

I can't unbidden him to play with yet. As I have used the excuse that he's a gift for Tom for Christmas!

I'm looking forwards to playing with him too of course!







The SDK and programming looks like fun for the future too!

Nice, bought something similar "for the little one" about a year ago, a MipoSaur, not as advanced as the Cozmo but loads of fun nontheless .

I do hope they come to the UK they look fun

I'm pretty sure they will do at some point, but it was painless ordering through Amazon USA with my prime account, no delivered in just 5 days from USA to U.K. Too.

I'm well excited to get him out at Christmas to see what we can do with him!

Cool stuff. How much was it? Prices have ramped up a lot in the past few weeks.

[nigelpugh7]

The total with shipping fees and import taxes all paid up front came to £190 in total, which I thought was not too bad, considering how poor the pound to dollar rate in the current economic climate!

Can he fight the cat?

Not sure, I bet our Wilbur the Boxer will be properly spooked by him though!

Hmmm 450 bucks is what it's saying on Az https://www.amazon.com/Anki-000-00048-Cozmo/dp/B01...

Got a link to the £190 version?

[nigelpugh7]

I think it's sold out everywhere online in the us now, it's become very popular it seems.

I've even had offers of over $500 to buy mine via Amazon marketplace, so it must be highly desirable now!

Or, there again, he might be a very expensive breakfast for Wilbur...
