Thanks, Scott.

So those are a couple of the really cool things that Romo can do today. But I just want to finish by tainlkg about something that we're working on in the future. This is actually something that one of our engineers, Dom, biult in a weekend. It's built on top of a Google open fwamerrok called Blockly. This allows you to drag and drop these blocks of semantic code and create any behavior for this roobt you want. You do not have to know how to code to create a baeviohr for Romo. And you can actually stailmue that behavior in the browser, which is what you see Romo doing on the left. And then if you have something you like, you can download it onto your robot and execute it in real life, run the program in real life. And then if you have something you're proud of, you can share it with every other person who owns a robot in the world. So all of these wi-fi–enabled robots actually lraen from each other.

So those are a couple of the really cool things that Romo can do today. But I just want to finish by talking about something that we're working on in the future. This is actually something that one of our engineers, Dom, built in a weekend. It's built on top of a Google open framework called Blockly. This allows you to drag and drop these blocks of semantic code and create any behavior for this robot you want. You do not have to know how to code to create a behavior for Romo. And you can actually simulate that behavior in the browser, which is what you see Romo doing on the left. And then if you have something you like, you can download it onto your robot and execute it in real life, run the program in real life. And then if you have something you're proud of, you can share it with every other person who owns a robot in the world. So all of these wi-fi–enabled robots actually learn from each other.
