Question:Problem with the sum function

Hello,

I have a vector with 4 components. Each component is a polynom.

N := Vector[row](4, {(1) = -(1/2)*t^3+t^2-(1/2)*t, (2) = (3/2)*t^3-(5/2)*t^2+1, (3) = -(3/2)*t^3+2*t^2+(1/2)*t, (4) = (1/2)*t^3-(1/2)*t^2});
N[1]+N[2]+N[3]+N[4];
sum(N[i], i = 1..4);

I don't why the function sum doesn't work in this case. If i do the sum like this N[1]+N[2]+N[3]+N[4];, it works but it doesn't work with the use of the sum function.

Thank you for your help.
