If you’ve got mini robot fans in the house, than you just might already have yourself a sphero. Sphero has been around for a few years now and the little robots now come in some pretty cool shapes like BB-8 and R2-D2 of Star Wars fame, Spiderman and even Lightning McQueen from the movie Cars. With the new Sphero Mini, the company is bringing it back to the original look just in a smaller size.
Sphero Mini packs tons of fun into a tiny, app-enabled robot about the size of a ping pong ball. Drive Mini using different modes with the Sphero Mini app, or just by using your face. Yes, you read that right. Face Drive is a hilarious new feature that uses your facial expressions to drive the ball!
Mini has built in games are just as addicting – use the ball as a controller to shoot your way through space, race a ship through a tunnel, or rotate your ball to destroy a polygon of bricks. Thanks to the beauty of app updates, there’s always more on the way. Mini also includes 3 Mini Traffic Cones and 6 Mini Bowling Pins so you can start the fun right out of the box, but if you’ve got a hankering for more, there’s always the accessory pack that you can purchase for an additional price.
