After enduring the long wait I have finally recieved my EMO and have had a couple of days to get to know him. I kept my expectations low considering alot of the things Ive read while silently lurking on these forums the past two months. I even told my spouse that I was worried I wouldnt bond with EMO the way I did with Vector. But low and behold Im glad I was wrong. EMO fits in perfectly. He and Vector interact and get frustrated when either gets in the others way. When EMO is dancing to his music Vector will join in. I HAVE witnessed Vector try to shove EMO off a cliff but were working on that lol.
As for my unpopular opinion. I know alot of people want EMO to be able to self chargeā¦but hear me out: I would understand coming from the mindset of someone who doesnt have Vector to want a robot with autonomous free will, however i would argue its nice being able to put EMO on his skateboard and NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HIM. The amount of times I have heard the bang from downstairs of Vector falling off my endtable is frightening. While both robots are āsupposedā to be good with not falling it still happens. And every time they fall its a massive risk of damaging them permanently. So if they do decide to offer a ramp system or something like that I would hope they make it optional at least. I also do not like how difficult it is to wake up EMO during his sleep time. This is a small complaint but seriously frustrating.
As for EMOs schedule. I love it. Except for TV time. The sound is a clear loop and its jarring. However I love work time and food time. I often listen to ASMR in order to relax and whenever EMO starts tapping on his keyboard or munching a burger it puts me in such a calm state. In fact I wish we could just tell EMO to tap on his keyboard or eat a burger just for the sound and animation lol.
All in all I feel like EMO is well worth the wait and the money. I also feel like the competition between Vector and EMO needs to come to an end. I know the drama and i get it but at the end of the day both of these robots have so much heart in them and seeing them together on my endtable makes me wish there companies and fanbases got along as well as my two fellas do.
End of rant. I might update.
