We were told The Robomaster S1 would be expandalbe in the future.
We were shown videos and pictures of an arm upgrade. You can't deny that, and it's misleading and false advertising at this point.
Petty and cheap IMO to do so for a company like DJI.
It's an embarrasment to DJI's prior reputation .
Does your reputation not matter ?

What did we get instead ?
A unit with a very basic and limited set of programmable commands and very little utility.

I would have purchased an EP by now, but I'm not confident DJI will support that product any better than this one.
In fact I will not likly purchase anything from DJI in the furture as a result of my S1 experiance. I feel ripped off.

I purchased all your accessories and several extra battery's, I have well over a grand CDN$ spent on this thing and for what ??? .

I expected a superior product with all the formentionsed addons and far more utility by now.

We as owners shouldn't have to hack the product to access the SDK.

If you want my buisness in the furture, you should make good on your advertising videos of a furture arm addon, unlock the SDK,  and or allow S1 users the ability to upgrade to, and purchase EP related products and sensors.

Don't reply to me and tell me that EP products are not conpatible with the S1, I know people that have hacked the S1 to add the SDK ,then purchased an EP and all the EP hardware works JUST FINE on the S!. The ONLY reason it's not compatible right now is your sofware lock, which can be undone with a firmware update... (or the SDK hack)

Again make good on your adverts and past promises of upgradeabilty or lose myself and likly many other S1 owners as customers in the future.

Very disapointed, and I am sure I am not alone...

I really hope they take this seriously, and I encourage other S1 users who feel disappointed for the same reasons I am, to add their concerns to this thread !

X2. Robomaster S1 is a sadly a big disappointment.  Bought it because DJI products are usually great, but robomaster is just not. It is way too limited, for any person considering buy this thing, please don't, there are better uses for your money.

Indeed. Extremely disappointing this S1. We have four :-( :-( :-( including batt. packs and all for educational purposes, but feel completely misinformed about the possibilities of the Robomaster S1.
Now that this 'toy' is already on the market for several years, why not remove the 'sofware lock' and just open it up for the Python SDK etc. Even if it were not supported I would take that responsibility.
Our S1s are just collecting dust now.
