Despite everything else about this hot garbage, the movements are pretty impressive. Well, were.
Now is a $700+ worse dancing paperweight.
The company I work for used to do service with these things. A neat novelty but that's about as far as it goes. You dont know terror until you have 20+ of the damn things wired up while you're focusing on work and someone shouts "hey Jibo, dance" and runs away from the ensuing chaos.

I remember hearing about one of the problems in mass production was adapting to different parts such as motors. It's a necessary thing to do, but was nothing like changing to a different blue led in google home.
