Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad that you enjoyed your time at Sphero and I have no doubt you made a huge impact on children%E2%80%99s lives with your contributions. Your feedback on having teams separated in two offices is timely, as we are consolidating into one building this week. Our hope with the move is to bring teams together and allow for more collaboration. Thank you again for your contributions to Sphero. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
