Oh God, just buy it

Hi I'm Scott and I'm addicted to Sphero. (Hi, Scott) I've had the Ollie's and both balls. Could have worded that better. Anyhoo, once I saw this announced I knew I was helpless. Once charged I stopped twitching and went to it. Pairing went smoothly and within seconds I was tearing around the carpet. It is very responsive and pretty quick, even on low pile carpet. Where this comes up short are the games. No golf but instead a series of essentially demo games. The potential is there and buying it means you are investing in it's future. I also knocked it a little for the shells but suspect new ones will be made available. Free tip for the makers of Sphero: make blind bag designer shells and tiny old school bowling bags to carry the mini.

Pros
  • Is a great way for parents to engage with their kids and share the joy of learning and discovery
Cons
  • Limited customization options within programming
