Wow. This hits home for me. In 2017, I was reselling Anki Cozmos to help fund a side project I was working on. The buyers were consistently some of the most enthusiastic parents I had ever met. I had never heard a single piece of negativity towards Cozmo. My favorite memory was taking the train for 2 hours each way to visit someone's home and help them troubleshoot their Cozmo's problems. People here are claiming that Cozmo was too expensive, but I'd argue that Cozmo wasn't expensive enough. Interested parents will pay a lot for high quality and well designed educational toys for their children. I know this because I was reselling Cozmos for 50%+ more than their price tag. I had no idea of Anki's true ambitions in robotics and AI. I think it's that lack of focus that killed them. There is absolutely a market for well designed educational toys, but it's not a business that needs 9 figures in funding. I hope someone else will come in and take the lead, because this is a great niche, but one that doesn't necessarily need VC funding, just organic growth due to steady, incremental, product improvements.
