Abstract
The plush TROBO robots are big-bellied and gray with dangling arms and legs and plump mitten hands to hold. The brainchild of two engineer and entrepreneur dads, Chris Harden and Jeremy Scheinberg, TROBO is an educational toy designed to get kids excited about science and engineering from an early age by giving them the tools to build that enthusiasm.
