Sphero Star Wars BB-8 App Enabled Robot Droid

My seven year old daughter is saying dad " Will my new friend grow big as I am growing? " Thanks amazon.

This a very gud 1. Kids luv it n so do all.

Excellent

I have seen many videos about robots and I think that this is one of the best among all of them. If anyone wants to buy this you makre sure you buy that robo only. Wonderful product.. !

GREAT PRODUCT, LOVED IT

It looks like I got the display piece. I got under heavy discount, so I guess you have to live with it. But I love it

Luved it..must buy

HIGHLY overpriced. It's nothing better than a remote controlled car (which you can get for approx. INR 2000,) except for the fact that you can control it using an app from your phone and is in the shape of a ball with print of BB-8. The controls are not that great either. I am regretting buying it, please don't waste your money.

プライムデーに衝動買い。充電中もキョロキョロしてるので、本当に意思があるように見えてかわいらしいです。 我が家のリビングにはゴザが敷いてあるのですが、ある程度スピードついてれば問題なく乗り越えられました。 我が家のパグは、BB-8が気になって見るものの、常に一定の距離をとりたいようでウロウロ。BB-8が近づいてくると慌てて逃げ、離れていくとそっと追いかけ…の繰り返しです。 一方猫はというと、BB-8が走っているときは後ろを追いかけ、時折匂いを嗅いだりしていたのですが、スマホでモード変更を試みている間に事件が起きました。 BB-8の動きが止まったのをいいことに、突如アンテナを咥え、本体から頭部を引き剥がしてブンブン振り回し、そのまま口でポーンと投げてしまいました。 フローリングを勢いよく転がるBB-8の頭部… 響く飼い主の悲鳴… その後すぐに頭部を本体に乗せ直ししばらく遊んでましたが、動きには問題なかったです。 でも猫がいる方は要注意です。

It was a bit of a struggle to get the droid connected to the app, but once it got connected the first time, it's been seamless when I connect to the app. There are great options within the app and the controls are pretty easy to figure out, somewhat sensitive but once you get the hang of it, is fun to play with. My dog likes to chase him around and you can put him on an auto roving setting and he'll just make his way around randomly. Way fun and super cool if you're a Star Wars fan!

Ótimo produto. Uma pena não ter à venda, no Brasil, os outros droides. Há alguma previsão para isso? Aguardo retorno.

Nice option and great quality Thank you it was a great birthday surprise for my 7 years son.

This is the coolest toy I've ever had, and I'm 33. The folks at Sphero clearly were in a rush to get the product out the door for the movie release, but they've kept their promise to update him, and I expect that they will continue to unlock the immense potential of this little guy in the coming months. Pros: -Sooooo cute! The little autonomous head movements make him feel alive. He's just full of personality. -Good battery life. I've yet to have him run down on me during a play session (though I don't think I've tried to push the hour mark) -Durable. The body is made of very thick plastic. He's taken some tumbles, and though the head will sometimes fall off in an impact, he doesn't have a scratch on him. He takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'. -Controls are easy to learn and use. -Sphero continues to update the actions and sounds available. -Compatible with other programs like SPRK Lab and Tickle (iPhone only) for infinite programming and customization. This allows you to use BB-8 like a regular Sphero. He's more versatile this way, but not as cute. It's the head movements that really make him special, and older Sphero programs don't account for that added motion. - Voice commands are pretty fun, though there are only a few to choose from. Cons: - The current interface is very limited. There are 12 programmed actions, and you can of course drive BB-8 freely. There's no light functions to play with, and Sphero cannot put the program on an open platform because of the Star Wars licensing agreement. - BB-8 runs a bit more sluggish in his specific control program than he does in custom programs like SPRK Lab. - Patrol mode is worthless. BB-8 does not "remember" when he bumps into something, so he just keeps running into the walls and getting stuck in remote corners. Annoying. It would be so much better if he could somehow use distance from your phone or GPS to actually navigate spaces, like a Roomba does. This just may not be possible, but I hope to see better functionality in updates. - Hologram mode does not work that well on my Samsung S5; the image often doesn't line up correctly with the robot, so the image just randomly projects in space. The record function is pretty cool, though. It's just kind of glitchy right now. Hopefully Sphero will update this function. - No "follow me" or "come here" function. This seems like it would be pretty simple to implement. Another function I hope to see in an update. -It would have been SUPER COOL to have a little camera in the head. I know, power issues, it would be too heavy, etc. But I can dream, can't I? Overall, this is a really excellent little piece of technology, but its capabilities are not even close to being fully utilized at the moment. With some added voice and command functionality, and improvement of the patrol mode, I might just never put him down. Well done, Sphero. I look forward to your next updates for my little droid buddy.
