Oh good. So it is always listening. That's great. At least the form advertises the function.
Maybe you don't owe (or feel you owe) robot developers better, but you owe this community better if you're posting here. We don't want the kind of culture this leads to, and you can make your substantive points without it.
Here's an excerpt from my chat with Teddy just now:
You (20:26): Teddy, do you have lithium ion batteries inside you?
Teddy (20:26): Yes I do
You (20:26): Can lithium ion batteries malfunction?
Teddy (20:26): Yes
You (20:27): What happens when lithium ion batteries malfunction?
Teddy (20:27): The human dies
Teddy: Yes, I love that movie
You: What happens to Teddy in the movie?
Teddy: Teddy dies in the end
You: You like the ending?
Teddy: Yes
(Please don't let this tale away from the awesome work on the hardware to make this work - I think it's early enough for a change of colour, hopefully?)
Regarding the color, we want to stick to white since that gives us more versatility for customization.
