Andrew and Sean dig into how the launch is going so far (spoiler alert: not great), whether the product is overpriced, and what to try next.

How is robotics?\n00:00:02.92\nAndrew\nRobotics was good and bad. Bad good? Good bad?\n00:00:07.35\nSean\nOkay.\n00:00:08.00\nAndrew\nSo we got our butts kicked. Like, plain out, got our butts kicked.\n00:00:10.85\nSean\nOh.\n00:00:12.28\nAndrew\nWe got there. The robots were insanely good, all of them. We played well.
