Consumer-impact summary
In 2020, Digital Dream Labs put out the Vector Unleashed kickstarter . In the kickstarter they show'd how they would be releasing some new items for Vector, the Open Source Kit for Robots (OSKR) being a way for Vector owners to develop their own features for Vector, and the Escape Pod which was a way for Vector to process voice commands locally without DDL's servers. However, Digital Dream Labs as of June 1st, 2026 haven't delivered a lot of these purchases for both Escape Pod and OSKR.
Later on in 2020, DDL showcased and opened up pre-orders for their upgraded Vector, Vector 2.0.
