In their words
“This thing is so much fun! I had to download the app from a 3rd party app store. But once I got that installed Cozmo has like 30 mini games and tons of features. You have to have the app open because that is its brain. He comes with 3 cubes and will actually find and grab them to setup a game. Or it will just get mad and throw them around.”

“We got a duplicate of one of the blocks. We ordered all three. I have reached out with no reply. The picture of all three show what was in the order. The picture of the one alone is the one that was missing. (The one in the pic is the broken one we had.) Please reach out to me. I would like to send back the duplicate and get the one I need. Order 86247 has all my info. Thank you. Mary”
