Our new home Robot - Cozmo

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!

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!

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!

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!
