Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Review…
Let’s start by looking at exactly what you get with the Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Robot Toy…
What’s Inside The Box?
On unboxing this toy you will find 1 Cozmo robot measuring 7.2 x 5 x 8 inches in a brand new, limited edition ‘Interstellar Blue’ color. The robot comes fully constructed so there’s nothing for you to put together or anything like that…
There is also a charger in the box which allows you to charge your Anki Cozmo from the mains socket, however there is no USB Power Adaptor included so you will have to purchase one of these separately if you require one…
And lastly, you get 3 ‘Power Cubes’ which Cozmo can actually recognize by their individual markings, and which are used to play a whole range of fun and educational games with this clever little guy.
Charge Him Up, Tune Him Up And He’s Ready To Go!…
Once you have your Cozmo out of the box and fully charged all you need to do to have him up and running is download the free Cozmo app to your compatible iOS or Android device, tune him up and he’s ready to go…
Now you can actually communicate and interact with him, you can introduce yourself- he will be able to recognize you in future and even remember your name!…
In the Code Lab you will be able to use your imagination to code him and find things the two of you can enjoy doing together, the coding itself has been designed using simple code blocks with beginners in mind, and is perfect for teaching both kids and adults how to code creatively…
In Explorer Mode you will be able to explore and view the world through his eyes exactly as he sees it, just like you see in the movies with all the computations and diagnostics and everything!
The Anki Cozmo Limited Edition Robot Toy is also quite a tough little customer and has been tested for security and durability, so he can take a few knocks without falling to pieces, and he’s also got a personality that develops the more you get to know him, just like a real human!…
It’s As Though He’s Actually Alive!…
In fact the way Cozmo interacts with people it is as though he is actually alive himself!…
He laughs mischievously during game play, he can navigate around obstacles and even through mazes and stop himself from getting too close to the edge of whatever surface he is on sol as not to fall over the edge!
Once kids have him charged and coded they can laugh and play together for hours on end in an entertaining and educational way that is just not possible with other toys…
Together they can enjoy playing games such as Quick Tap, Keepaway, and Memory Match. The Cozmo app is also updated for free bringing kids new games and activities for even more fun and entertainment.
