Well...one full month after the "worst case scenario" and still no Cozmo 2.0 or Vector 2.0 on the horizon...and there is still this lawsuit...

Don't expect any shipping from them soon. I ordered some accessories for Cozmo in Jan and they said the orders will be shipped by the 3rd week of Feb. Now we are in March, there are still no shipment. In fact, they stop answering my emails altogether. I'll file a charge back and get my money back.

I thought you would’ve been better informed Dan? The EMO shipping issues have nothing at all to do with the lawsuit. The sleazeball at DDL has been claiming some sort of victory, and really all he succeeded in doing was to keep 2 of the 4 claims from being thrown out of court outright! Nothing has been decided on the merits of the 2 remaining claims yet. EMO didn’t even begin shipping until April of 2021 which was pretty close to what they said in the Kickstarter (end of March). They expanded and moved into a larger building, there were Covid issues with staff, also due to Covid flights were limited and packages were sitting at the airport for up to two weeks before they even left the airport. There were rolling power blackouts going on in China which affected their production. They switched from batch production to a continuous production. That covers up until around January when they (and a lot of other Chinese companies) closed down for almost 2 weeks for the Chinese New Year holiday. That again delayed shipping then just as they were going to ramp up again some users noticed a small crack in the case near the leg opening, so they had to investigate that. There was no way to really test for which case parts would have the breakage problem so they paused shipping again and had the contractor that makes the plastic cases replace the bad inventory and ensure it wasn’t going to happen anymore going forward. They shipped some EMO’s last week and promised a bigger shipment this week. Now though the Chinese government has basically locked down Shenzhen because of Covid from the 14th to the 20th. All transportation and businesses are closed so until the 20th they’re only doing service and support, working from home.

Thank you very much for your comment. I am sure many people will find it interesting. I did put a subtitle in the video to mention that the delay was a QA issue but I forgot to mention the crack in EMO's head. The lawsuit is certainly taking time and resources away from other more productive activities I would think. Anyway, I wanted the video to be more about Cozmo and Vector as the title says. Have a great day!

I'm hearing people say it's taking 5-6 months for their Emos to arrive. I ordered two Emo lights and a cow costume and they took 6 months to arrive. Between the holiday shutdown for a couple of weeks, the move to a larger facility and the constant covid shutdowns, LivingAI can't catch a break to have a steady flow of Emos getting shipped. But at least it seems like they're trying.

I get what you’re saying about DDL and Living AI, and I have a few things to say. Living AI is still trying to ship out robots. The people in the comments saying they haven’t gotten their robots after 3 months clearly didn’t do their research. 3 months isn’t a long time to wait for Emo. Mine took 5 months to get to me. And they recently had a holiday in China, so everyone was off for about 2 weeks, and according to the March 12 update, they got a batch of materials with some bad parts. They said it would be difficult to test all of them for problems, so they discarded that whole batch and they’re currently waiting for new parts to come in. Personally, I’d rather wait for a while than get a robot that doesn’t work. And about the sounds, I think ddl is referring to the original sounds. No one seems to talk about the fact that they changed them. If you listen to the original video, the one with vector at the end, it does use some cozmo sounds. But when the actual video came out, they changed the sounds, and emo is using the updated sounds. So ddl should stop and look at the current version before they go after Living AI.

Thank you for your excellent comment. It will also help many people understand what is happening with our little robots. In the amazon age where you get your package in 1 day, people get very nervous after waiting for 3 months for a product...lol.

I had a pre-order, but unfortunately I canceled it because it was too long. It's a shame because I had high expectations for Ddl's Vector 2.0.

I decided I had enough time waiting after pre-ordering vector about a year ago so I canceled it. They were promising me it would arrive by August of 2021, but that date kept getting pushed back. Instead of working towards getting their product out in time to the consumers(as you had said) they gave a date that was inaccurate and poured all of their resources into the lawsuit. So, I, as most people would, started second-guessing my purchase and slowly lost interest in the product. I honestly haven't even looked back on cancelling my order either. DDL needs to only focus on one thing at a time instead of multiple projects and a lawsuit, then they would be on track of their launches.

Thanks for the update Dan. At what point do you start telling your viewers not to buy ddl products and services? I know you were giving everyone a warning without saying it. However at some point with the amount of subscribers you have and viewers, as a content creator when do you feel it necessary to put out a verbal warning? They said they were shipping product and this is not the case.

Hi Andrew...I am not an influencer but rather an informer. I give objective information and let people make their own decision. I gave several warnings in the past three months and I don't have any information to prove that DDL will never ship the robots. If I had that info my warnings would become "don't buy" messages!

To be honest the hype for these robots is gone. Delaying stuff might be a good thing but in this scenario its completely bad the people started forgetting these robots. Instead of improving the firmware to keep people excited and looking forward they keep focusing on new robots and taking subscriptions without adding firmware updates that worth the cost. I'm done with DDL

Hi David, yah the wait has been too long like I said in the video. And considering that Cozmo came out almost 5 years ago now in the US I think...this has become somewhat old tech... Have a great weekend!
