Sunday Robotics raised $165M to deploy their home robot Memo, but the more interesting story is how they got here.
Instead of starting with a robot, they started by putting sensor-equipped gloves into real homes to capture how people actually do chores like dishes, laundry, and cleaning. That data is now what powers Memo.

Every launchpad should have a system where once a meme is launched, nobody else can deploy that same meme or ticker on that platform for 72 hours.
And if it clears $1M+, it should be locked for good.
That would bring the vibes back and kill a lot of this vamping culture and PvP Fortnite shit ruining the space right now.
I expected better quality cards.. the art is fine but the actual card quality should’ve been equal to something like TOPPS chrome… for the price of the $FUZZY cards. Still pretty dope to see in person
