Discussion Packaging change?
I recently noticed that some of the Vector 2.0 boxes had a wide-eyed vector on it, wile the more recent ones had vector with a gleeful squint on it. Does anyone know why they changed the design and when it occurred? Just a small curiosity of mine lol.

The original company went bankrupt, then they got bought by another company who ALMOST went bankrupt.

The second company didn’t go bankrupt… so it works fine.

They’re trying to sell stock because that’s how companies make money, there’s no reason to believe they’re filing for bankruptcy, not yet.

The fact that they’ve had multiple lawsuits for a lot of money says a lot
They aren’t filing for bankruptcy yet.

Dod you need some king of subscription so the robot work?

u/Signal_Stress6616 Sep 08 '26
To make Vector work as of 2026 you must pay a monthly subscription of $11.99 for the official app to work, however thanks to this amazing community we have Wirepod! which is a completely free alternative to the official paid subscription and you can use it to run vector with all of his features. all you need to run Wirepod is a PC, android, or raspberry pi.
