What Jamie wrote
This is sad. I have a Cozmo and a Vector. I have no idea what this will mean for the continued operation of these devices. It’s too bad they weren't able to take off. The article makes me wonder if they were trying to do too much, too fast. I will say that the Vector was a bit underwhelming. I felt like they needed more time to get the software right.
