  I remember setting up Mindstorms to alert whenever a door was opened, so we could specifically stay up all night reading and know if our parents opened their bedroom door… Simpler times!

  HA I’ve been so brainwashed by 2025 I see the word smart and stupidly assume AI.

  Looks like its just sensors.

  I actually think this makes it worse because it doesn’t really bring a whole lot to the table from a STEM-toy perspective, although I guess learning to utilize sensors could be good for some kids if there is any type of granular control.

  I grew up with Lego Mindstorms, so it can definitely inspire.

  wow, so just more trash and waste for the sake of making toys AI integrated…?

  I’m all for giving kids the tools of the future early (with limits)

  but why do we have to make it disposable? (profit, I know, its rhetorical guys).
