Once you have your Cozmo
Once you have that all done, what you get is really quite amazing…
You get this little robot that measures around 7.2 x 5 x 8 inches and looks like a cute little red and white bulldozer…
A mind of his own!…
Only this one seems to be ‘alive’ and has a mind and a personality all his own!!…
Just like the robots in the movies, the ones that are a cross between a supercomputer and a human being. Only Cozmo
And his personality grows and develops the more time you spend hanging out and interacting with him. He really does grow on you.
Once the two of you have been introduced he will even remember your face so he can recognize, and greet you in future…
When he wants to play he’ll give you a nudge to let you know, and if you don’t want to play with him he just goes ahead and does his own thing anyway, either way he’s going to have fun…
Creative beginner friendly coding.
Even though Cozmo
STEM toys, or Science, Technology,Engineering, and Mathematics toys, are excellent for teaching kids how these four subjects relate to each other and the real world around them, and how they can be used for problem solving.
Using the drag and drop coding blocks on the free Cozmo app you will be able to program him to do just about anything from performing a little victory dance to playing ‘Hot Potato’ with his cubes, and even sneezing!
And that’s only the start, you can use the coding blocks in as many different combinations as your imagination allows for literally limitless creations that Cozmo will act out!
Some of the games you can play with Cozmo:
Quick Tap…
To play Quick Tap, both you and Cozmo need your own Cube. When your Cube starts flashing you just tap it to begin the game. When the colors on each of your Cubes match it’s a race to see which of you is quickest and tap your cube first. The first player to tap their Cube correctly, when the colors match that is, gets the point…
Memory Match…
You might find that this game is more difficult than it first sounds, but it’s still massive fun at the same time! To play ‘Memory Match’ you need to follow the sequence of lights and sounds on Cozmo’s Cubes. Then you each take it in turns to remember and repeat the sequences as they grow more and more complex…
Keepaway…
You only need the 1 Cube to play ‘Keepaway’. What you do here is move the Cube slowly towards Cozmo, closer and closer to get him to pounce, and then pull it away at the last minute before he grabs it and takes the point. He even laughs at you mischievously when he wins too!
He’s a tough little customer…
Cozmo has been rigorously tested to be able to withstand a few hard knocks without falling to pieces. He’s far tougher and a lot more durable than his cute exterior suggests…
