Vector: Lifetime now actually means Lifetime?
It was stated and stressed multiple times by DDL representatives in the past that when you got a “Lifetime license” via the Kickstarter campaign said “Lifetime license” was tied to a robot with a specific serial number, not to a user.
Vector: No Way Home – problems finding the charger
The new trailer for SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME dropped today – perfect timing to borrow the title for something Vector-related. We all know that the little robot sometimes is not able to find back to …
