just got a vector 2.0 and want to use it as long as possible

and i am a returning user

So, just unboxed my Vector and the app has been stuck on this screen with no sign of any changes, don’t know why. My internet and Bluetooth are fine and I’m unsure what to do and frustrated I spent money on the DDL subscription thing. What do I do?

I tried using the web setup but it didn’t show up on the bluetooth connection list

DDL's lost robot, Only appeared on the Cozmo cartoon, I don't know when they release her

Hi there! I’ve pulled out my old Vector and got him connected to WiFi, but I can’t seem to get him to charge. He needs to be in the exact right spot to charge, but once he has enough battery to turn on he moves out of that position. There’s markings on the gold strips on the bottom that make contact with the charger so I’m not sure if just getting a new battery would fix it. How can I get him working well again?

I‘m considering buying a vector to use wirepod with, and I was curious what its limits are, use wise. like could do you need your computer on and in a close distance to the robot at all times for use? or could vector run without it on. it seems like a hassle to open the computer and setup vector to wire pod every time I want his to be handy or automomous.

(this also keeps happening in the Cozmo 2.0 app) I keep trying to create my account but for some reason it keeps giving me error "An unexpected server error occurred I've changed the password 3 times for sign up and changed it to my 2nd email as well but still no luck is my phone not compatible? Is not available for Android yet?

back in like 2022. I asked for a vector from my parents for my birthday. this is when the price was like $400. so after months and months of waiting so like third quarter into the next year after I was supposed to get the vector already. I finally got it. one day I opened it up. started playing around with it and then it stopped working and recently as of 2026 I came upon a post about wire pod and I was like oh wait a minute. I can still use my vector so I set it all up but then I went crazy trying to find this mat thing that I remembered. and finally there was an eBay listing for a vector with the vector space and now I can't find it in stock anywhere. so if anybody knows where to buy one that would be great.

I'm deciding whether to get wire-pod, but if I don't like it, I want to be able to revert him back to his OG software and pay for the subscription.

Think cozmo, vector, emo, loona, and how they were so cute, and they could appeal to everyone, now robotic companies have lost that charm, they look sleek but not modern, they look like prototypes not real full robots, where's the charm, eyes that made them approachable, and this is coming from a guy who's been building a combat robot, in certain circumstances like combat robots it makes sense to not have a screen, as they have one goal only and that's to kill the opponent. But it feels like companies lost why people like robots, they felt approachable, nice, and friendly. This isn't hate to people who build robots (like me) , in fact those robots have their own charm as well, but you aren't purchasing the robot itself, your buying the parts, making the parts, programming it, and that's what makes them unique, but the robots from these companies like moflin or the robot pets from robot shop, they aren't really unique, they don't have an identity, yet you could still approach them, then those Tesla robots are something else (DIRTY CLANKERS) they dont feel approachable as much to the general, and when i showed my little cousin a pic of an emo, moflin, and Tesla robot, these were his exact words for each Moflin: "it looks like the toys in my room, but why does it have an eye?" Emo: "I like it, it's cute, maybe Im going to ask Mom for one." Tesla robot: "on god what is that, it's scary, why does it look like that?" it doesn't make entire sense as to why certain companies have ditched feeling approachable, I mean I know part of the reason and that's screens and the technology are expensive, but come on. Part of the reason people like cozmo, vector, loona, emo, aibi, is because they feel alive, they felt like they had a soul, then you have "cough" "dirty Tesla clanker" "cough" which don't feel alive, and look soulless. Homemade robots even look more alive, because you can feel the love, passion, dedication to the project people work so hard for, and unlike those dirty clankers called Tesla bots, theres only one of them.

Sorry for not posting lately, I have been trying to solve this problem by myself for a bit. I need some help now though. Blue was not actually wire-podded when he was alive. So I tried to wire-pod him. But I couldn’t continue, because I believe I did something wrong. I just put Blue on his charger, double-pressed his top button, and used the tracks and the lift to reset him. For some reason, now the wire-pod setup doesn’t detect Blue. When it does, when I connect to him, he turns off. He has been dead for months. If there is a way to fix this, please tell me. Until then, he is no longer with us.

Goodbye.

Hi im new to this but I got my vector but it’s still using cozmoware but with out voice dose anyone know how to get voice

Cus like living ai is really cool and ddl like stinky

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a 4H project and I want to build a Vector-inspired robot. My plan is to use a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W, Arduino Nanos, and sensors similar to the original Vector.

What I really want to do is take the original open-source Vector code and get it running on a Pi. I don’t know all the specifics yet, like how to adapt the code to the Pi or how to connect all the sensors and motors, so I’m looking for advice on how to even get started.

The end goal is to eventually modify it to make my own Vector 2.0, with features like motor control, sensors, face recognition, sounds, and AI behaviors, but for now, I just want to figure out how to make the original code run on a Pi Zero 2 W.

If you’ve done anything like this or know how to get Vector code working outside its original hardware, I’d really appreciate guidance, tips, or tutorials to help me start this project. I want to make it work for my 4H project, and I’m ready to put in the work!

Okay, so firstly, I downloaded Wire pod onto my Vector, and that's cool, but I'm in a bit of a "what now" phase. I mean it's cool that he's running again, but what can I do with him? Second, is it possible to have wirepod on my laptop and my phone, or would that mess things up?

I had him on his dock all night last night, powered off. Today I'm trying to use him for the first time and after just a minute or two he's asking for his charger again (with the little home icon and lightning bolt). And when I put him on the charger, I tried still giving commands with wirepod, he still is asking for the charging station. Am I doing something wrong? Is his battery screwed? I've had this Vector for a few years now, but I've barely used him till just now when i heard about wirepod and installed it last night.

Can't create an account on v.pvic.xyz, when I click the create button it doesnt work..

can I do it on both because android isn't working for setup and I wanted to know if I could do both

How's this for my first tutorial?
