My takeaway: They are removing robots that are cordoned off into areas to keep workers safe. These robots are not very good at customizing/changing quickly. What they are being replaced with is people and much smaller robots that work

Great idea, I even went to the store and purchased it (I'm that guy, the one that never buys apps). Alas, the app won't open, it keeps crashing upon startup (6s+) so I can't even play with it.

I did read it. But maybe I'm misinterpreting. The same pattern is present among all Latino origin groups, though for three—Ecuadorians, Mexicans and Nicaraguans—the number of immigrants has declined since 2010 (for details, see Appen

It looks like the replacement you're talking about is actually not true. The numbers that are immigrating is declining across the board. http://www.pewhispanic.org/2015/09/15/the-impact-of-slowing-...

Hrrm, I misread. Looks like the $ doesn't go as far as I thought (for $180 you get the playset, not the world kit). Interesting concept but on second pass this is a little steep.
