"so what EXACTLY can your droid do NOW"
And that there is the exact problem with this article:
"Much of my precious downtime over the last few months has been dedicated to writing little programs for my BB-8. It’s just the beginning of what’s possible, now that I can program my own droid."
Where are the examples of what you have done? What about a Youtube video or three of your BB-8 running your little programs?
