' a group of fellow Vector enthusiasts is trying to keep the lovable little robot alive with “Project Victor.” After raising some funds, the group purchased the tools needed to reverse engineer Vector. And there’s been much success. The group cracked the onboard NAND components, accessing much of Vector’s code. It was in that code that the group noticed many voice assistant training code for “Victor,” not Vector; hence the project name. Additionally, the server certificate for Vector’s API services was recently renewed through August 2021, possibly through a former Anki employee. The end goal is to gain root access to all of Vector’s systems so that custom, over-the-air firmware can be sent to Vector units, breathing new life into the personable li’l fellow. The Google Group for Project Victor is a closed group, but I requested access as a Vector owner, so you should be able to do the same.'
