    They’ve had a robotics line since I was a kid.

    I don’t think it’s e-waste. It’s an educational toy. If people buy it and never use it or throw it away that’s on them, but I don’t have a problem with a company making introductory electronics kits for children.

    It’s better than another bullshit software company that sells addictive app games designed to fry children’s dopamine receptors while harvesting their data to exploit for profit by selling to unaccountable third-parties…

      The new smart bricks might be considered e-waste, depending. The bricks themselves are rechargeable but the battery is not replaceable and will degrade over time.
