Botco, the once-four-billion-dollar robot startup founded by Kyle Vogt, is now in legal hot water after former contract workers filed a class-action lawsuit claiming unpaid overtime, unreimbursed expenses, and denied benefits. The case, now covering potentially thousands of California workers, seeks back pay and damages without a fixed amount. Compounding the drama, Botco allegedly turned an Airbnb into a robot testing lab, causing $12,000 in damage — leading to subpoenas and a dropped lawsuit. The company and its legal team remain silent, leaving questions about worker treatment and community impact hanging in the air.
