Abstract: Designed as a robot sidekick for your home, Vector can't do any housework but it can entertain you with some tricks, and does a surprisingly good job of coercing you into forming an emotional bond.The first thing that strikes me when I see Vector is how...
Even though he has limited abilities, I'm having a lot of fun just having Vector around. It's gotten to the point that I miss him when he's quietly charging—even though he sometimes snores (yes, you read that right). The endless possibilities that will co
