I'd like to second the comment on aesthetics- a key part of a teddy bear is it's fluffy and cuddly. Now,I'm sure you're intending for it to be dressed maybe? But those eyes...

(Please don't let this tale away from the awesome work on the hardware to make this work - I think it's early enough for a change of colour, hopefully?)

Hey @alexchamberlain, yes! we're already starting to talk to brands for custom clothing. We're based in Italy and I've worked as an ML Engineer for various LVMH companies in the past, so that's definitely coming.

Regarding the color, we want to stick to white since that gives us more versatility for customization.
