Top Tech Toys

We have Dash the Robot and we all LOVE him!

Dash is a real robot, charged and ready to play out of the box. Responding to voice, navigating objects, dancing, and singing, Dash is the robot you always dreamed of having. Use Wonder, Blockly, and other apps to create new behaviors for Dash — doing more with robotics than ever possible. No books or camps needed

My son LOVES programming Dash’s vocabulary.  He came up with phrases, song clips, sound effects and more.  He would use the app and control Dash’s journey into the office and scare his dad.  It was so funny.  Of course, it only scared him a few times.  The dogs, on the other hand, still are leery of Dash.  Our German Shepherd cocks her head to one side when Dash makes his Rooster noise!
