Sharks Struggle to Believe If Kids Will Love Codi | Shark Tank US | Shark Tank Global

[Eaglepr]

Barbara: Because you guys are bragging about your College Degrees from Stanford for that reason I am Out! Barbara’s face after they closed the deal with Robert was priceless.

[paulg]

Robert has a point, if Codi had a screen for a face and movable arms, it would've been a vast improvement in keeping kids stiumulated.

[bhavnaravulur]

For those interested…..
The deal with Robert did not go through. The company is yet in business with an annual revenue of $1.2 million.

If the parents have to be there to control what the robot says to the kids, why not just be a parent and interact with your kids?
Kids dont need toys to learn social skills, they need to interact with people.

[skurneha]

It's actually really funny how Robert almost immediately sounded like a child when he got his Codi
"Why do I get a monkey? 🥺" 🤣

[Nmdraz]

Barbara: Because robert is back in. Im out for a second time!

[cobishome]

It's so sweet how Robert always passes the item to Laurie

[leofangd]

tbh There isn't enough interactivity to call it a "Social Robot" for today's standards, this is a toy 15 years too late. Usually an interactive robot for kids retails anywhere from $500 to $2000 or more. If they did have a legit social robot at $100 dollars it would've sold like hotcakes. Besides, their presentation and video demo looked like something they put together the day before the pitch. Maybe its the edit, but we didn't get to see any "social and emotional learning", it was just some kids flinging the doll around n talking to their parents on the phone, then cleaning their room. 😂

A lesson in being a shark, and a lesson in not giving up, all in one great episode.

[mohamedelgendy]

Robert is actually investing in those three well educated owners.
They have everything needed to be a good team and he believed in them.

[evaunger]

What the children truly need is less electronics and more time with the parents, one on one without an electric babysitter

[twistedtea]

Robert basically gave them a hint “I wish there was a screen on there”…that’s a great idea!

[sakamotoDesuGai]

"It's too late we all out", "I'm back in", "WHAT?"

[sakamotoDesuGai]

"I'm back in" flashbacks of not investing in that door cam

[whyisbluetaken]

Robert: "Every time I'm out, they pull me back in!"

Barbara: "Every time they pull me back in, I'm out!"

[ajeethsuryash]

Robert is right about the interaction part...

[NaomiIsSoAwesome]

I work in the childcare industry (work in a daycare and studying to become a teacher) and I also have a bachelor's in psychology. I agree that the toy industry must be super competitive, everyone wants to put a screen in a child's face but no one wants to talk about the consequences. Children DON'T NEED instant gratification. What they DO need is to play outside, learn to be patient, and play with games that are traditional. Building blocks have been around for so long yet they are still one of the best toys for kids. Anything that relies on batteries and such is usually garbage.

[Jack-xbew]

This just reminded me of the time i owned a furby and tamagochi

[jpdelete]

Kevin trying to push them out made Robert coming back in that much better 😂
I already knew he was gonna come back in from the twinkle in his eye

[businessacc]

Robert’s nod that Codi is incredibly cute 😂
