SO VERSITILE
This hopefully short review will feature 2 parts. A casual fun side, and “I like to develop video games or robotics” side.CASUAL:First off, this will drive on carpet, as long as it’s not too thick!This thing this fun right out of the box! It has all sorts of intuitively built functions, albeit with a couple issues.Driving it around, it has multiple fun ways to accomplish this task.The stick controls work well but are finicky. However it’s still quite fun. Feels like you’re directing a drunk driver around, as it seems to function like a weirder version of a quadcopter drones’ headless mode.Frustrating and hard to control, but extremely fun.The other driving modes are weird but neat. It has a tilt control mode, which is hard to get working properly, as it still feels like it has a weirdly programmed headless mode. So it can get confusing.It also has an entertaining “golf” mode. The golf mode is fun but is hard to learn at first. Your swiping of your phone is hard to get used to, because the angle and side you’re swiping is asynchronous to the way you aim the actual ball. Swipe any way you want, and it will only go the way you aimed before you swiped.The other driving modes are poorly made gimmicks, not worth mentioning.The games are fun, but the controls make it irritating and sometimes not responsive.Yes, it comes with games. You use the ball as the controller to move a ship across a screen, or drive a car.Very neat!If these were the only functions of the ball, I would give this ball a 3.5 out of 5, or a 4 out of 5. Fun, but eventually an adult like myself will grow tired of it. This concludes the casual part of the review.Are you a game developer or robotics developer? Yes? Enjoy your new toy!If you install the education app, you will quickly find yourself in a funland! It seems to run on javascript, and at the time of this review, I haven’t checked that completely. However, I’ve looked into it’s engine.Yes, this app seems to have a javascript powered engine, which functions similar to Unreal Engine 5’s blueprints system.THE FUNCTIONS REALLY SURPRISED ME! (but if you’re serious about having fun with this ball, buy the advanced version)This ball has axis positioning check features, collision check bools, airborne bool checks, landing from airborne collision check bools, sound effect functions, LED color change functions, variables, functions, loops, and probably more than what I saw in just a couple minutes of looking into the app.It absolutely blew my mind when I looked into the app.I seriously recommend one of these if you want something to mess around with for farts and laughs.But if you want a fuller experience, you should probably buy the 200 dollar version.OVERALL: I love this ball! I can’t wait to see what I can do with this coding wise!

Amazing!!
These are so fun for middle schoolers to adults. My kids loved playing with them so I bought my nephews these for Xmas. They love coding so this fit in with their robotics love! Small and compact. Great quality as it goes off jumps, runs into walls. Great choices of fun accessories too.

Best Cat Toy Ever
I’ve owned a few Sphero products, and this one by far is the most useful, for my cat that is. My cat loves this thing! Don’t know about the “STEM” value, but the it should really be sold at pet stores.It’s easy to set up on you ipad or iphone, just install the app. No registrations, or pairing, so anyone with a smartphone could control it.I’ve only had a few problems,One, it seems to disconnect from the bluetooth while using it more often than you think it should.Two, it quickly loses orientation, and will go off in the wrong direction. Probably just a characteristic of the gyros, and the device being so small. It would be nice if the UI was designed to quickly put it back into orination mode, but currently, this is a little awkward.Three, like most small RF battery powered vehicles, it doesn’t work on thick carpet. You”l need hardwood floors for best performance.Other than that, it’s great. I would like to buy additional shells for it, but they’re hard to find, and typically more expensive than buying a new ball. Please offer new shells for sale.

Für einen Messe Stand wurde die Mini Sphero bestellt.Diese kam bei Besuchern und Kunden sehr gut an, vor allem weil diese durch ihre “kleine” Größewiederum sehr süß erscheint.Die Sphero besitzt eine eigene aus Kunstoff/Plastik bestehende Verpackung, eine Art Rechteckigen Kasten. die Durchsichtige Seite ist für die Kugel und das darunter für die Kabel.Nach dem durchlesen der sehr verständlichen Beschreibung, ging es sofort ans ausprobieren.App heruntergeladen, Sphero ausgewählt und Verbindung erstellt. Alles ohne Probleme von statten genagen.Nach wenigen Minuten kann man sich mit der App und der Beleuchtung, Helligkeit und Geschwindigkeit, sehr gut zurechtfinden.Auch unser Hund gab neugierige Blicke von sich.Fazit: Die Sphero sorgt auf jeden Fall für Aufsehen und Belustigung, ebenso eine sehr gute Beschäftigung, wenn man sich hierzu noch einen Parkour baut. Am besten bestellt man sich gleich zwei aufeinmal, dann macht es noch mehr Spaß.
