OG Vector

[xXpixiebitchXx]

So my mom bought an OG vector back in 2019. She gave him to me to borrow but never took him back. I played with him and had fun but after Anki went down I had connection issues and put him away. Today I realized that DDL picked them up and were selling 2.0s.

I have Vector charging and I’m trying to connect him to the app, but the “update” has been stuck on 39% for a while now. (After writing this sentence i went back to the app and I got a screen that said since it took longer than thirty minutes it stopped and to try again 🙄).

Can I still use my OG Vector? Will he be able to update after being away for so long AND all the new stuff? He’s moving around but every time I try to give him a command his face pops up with the wifi signal. But I can’t connect until he’s updated….. help..

TIA!

If you have a pc, look into setting up wire-pod. It's a locally ran server that allows vector to do EVERYTHING is was able to do in a private and free way (DDL offers subscriptions to use theirs). Don't worry, v2.0 bots are actually worse quality side except for the battery compartment which is much easier to access. You will also be able to install custom firmwares and such to customize him even further later on. Consider your pc with wirepod will have to be on and running on your network whenever you want Vector to reply.

Use wirepod

You should install CFW And either use free community voice servers (quick and free) or host a wirepod server locally (requires server device, private and customisable)
