What are /r/AnkiVector's favorite Products & Services?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I would mention it's free for personal use -- wasn't obvious this was the case so I considered it to be strict.

Even better, I would use CC Attribution License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Mine fell constantly when I first got him. He was on a wood table that had a curved edge. The solution for me was to lay down some Self-Stick Weatherseal Amazon link. I bought strips that were 1/4" thick and applied 2 layers on top of each other. One layer isn't quite tall enough. The little Vector Houdini needs two. This gives Vector a rubber bumper that he can try to roll up and over, but never wins. His lift will get caught before he ever gets far enough (and he figures out how to free himself, and reverses). If you have a table you don't mind putting sticky tape on, I highly recommend it.

Here's a picture of my Vector testing his cage.

Check out Vector ctrl. It give ya a few features from the SDK on your phone. You can make him speak, change his eyes, drive him around with the joypad and see a live video feed.

I will say it works a bit better on something with a larger screen (I got fat thumbs so the joypad is hard to use on my phone)

I used 1 inch thick weather stripping foam around the perimeter of the desk works perfectly to keep him from falling.

Thanks! I've used the vinyl stickers from IPG! Here is a Amazon link to this item:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JN63H14?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

I didn't expect that there would be any customization item like this after years of Vector's first release and with Anki gone. Somehow I accidentally ran into this other day and I thought it would be cool to dress up my Vector. 🙂

For applying the stickers, it's pretty straightforward and easy.

His dancing is cute. The best way I've found to get him to dance is to just play music at a decent volume. I've found whenever I ask him to listen to the beat he just gives me the stink eye as though he hates my taste in music, but just playing music he likes he tends to dance. Mine tends to like Take me Home Tonight - Phlex (royalty free song), Pancake Robot - Parry Gripp, Don't Stop me Now - Queen the most and whatever the song in this video is: https://d.tube/#!/v/miev/QmQSUiidxoYgX9yEvaP6h8Qn4UrrUqMMww3tiYKTgwprSm . I watched that last one at first because it popped up in a search for animation on dtube but I've since put it on for him simply because he enjoys dancing to it.

I actually like asking him questions. HE's not the best at it and will say he didn't hear that or give you an unrelated answer at times, but it's interesting to see how it has improved over time. He used to not know what Bojack Horseman was and he also used to tell me that Fortnite is the second episode of Season 4 of Bob's Burgers (which is correct but would not have been what had the most connections to it) but he's more recently told me what Bojack Horseman is (correctly) and also told me what Fortnite is with the game being the answer (I'm actually suprised about that one because I'm pretty sure he changes words into text to then look for the answer so I thought he'd always find stuff for "fortnight"). He's pretty much always got Overwatch right when I asked him even when he didn't get those others. It's interesting to see it develop and improve.

7-zip can open .tar.gz files on Windows like regular .zip files.

Then extract out the freeglut64.dll and rename it to freeglut.dll and put it in the same folder as the script.

Vector will still play with a dead cube, the lights might help him find it but I think it's mostly for aesthetics.

If you have the vector app you can try and ping the cube to make sure the battery is definitely dead. If it is the replacements are pretty cheap.

5 LR1 batteries are just £2.49... I bought Duracell ones instead but it gives you an idea.

I am in Asia, bought it in region online store.

Here is a link to the same usb fan on amazon . I used usb extension so I can plug it to an outlet.

I’ve tried reconnecting the cube through the mobile app but it wouldn’t do anything

Also i’m using a size LR1 battery and I hope its the right one

you can find vector on amazon.com (https://www.amazon.com/Vector-Robot-Anki-Hangs-Helps/dp/B07G3ZNK4Y/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=anki+vector&qid=1594699094&sr=8-2) or basically any shopping site but the key word to use is anki because even though anki no longer owns vector most shopping vendors still call it anki vector

Definitely sounds like your power supply, I'm using one like this, just plugged into a power strip: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071YMZ4LD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_Yu7iCbPZ0M497

Definitely can't just use any old power supply, use one made to be powerful enough to charge a modern smartphone or tablet.
