I love robots. I want to share that love with those around me. This is not a new thing for me. Years ago I bought a <a href="https://www.makewonder.com/robots/dash/">Wonder Workshop Dash</a> robot for my nephew. He didn&rsquo;t get into it. It was likely not something him and his father wanted to invest the time in to figure out. I realize I gave them a gift that I would want more than something I knew they&rsquo;d enjoy. Still, it looked like an amazing idea and one I have been carrying around as an idea for my own kids. I have watched that toy for years, looking to see if they made a version compatible with a younger age group. They have not. So, when my son was born I started looking for newer robots and wondered if I could justify getting one for him.</p>
