Review: One of the best thought out and executed remote controlled toys produced. - I bought the Sphero BB-8 for my son for his 5th Birthday. The timing of the new Star Wars movie relative to his December birthday could not have been better. I took him to see the movie, and then he received the Sphero BB-8 at the birthday dinner that followed. His reaction was priceless - and alone was worth the purchase. But it gets better. This toy is incredibly fun to play with - and my 5-year old son immediately was able to control it with ease. The interface is that intuitive. The droid moves and reacts as the movie's BB-8 - because it's essentially just a scaled down version of the original. The preprogrammed behaviors are a lot of fun for my son as well, and the visual effects using your tablet (iPad Mini 2 in our case) or phone are pretty darn cool! This toy is incredibly well thought out, engineered and produced. To answer the critique that you need a near 'sterile' environment to operate this toy - that is bunk. My son's carpeted bedroom is anything but sterile, and while this toy responds more sluggishly on carpet - it still moves around without any major issues. The only surfaces I would avoid running this on would be concrete, and some types of tile, due to the fact the harder surfaces will degrade the polymer decal on the body of the droid. The only thing I can think of that I would critique about this toy is that it's a lot of fun for adults too. Thankfully, my son has a relatively early bed time - so I can get some BB-8 time in without frustrating a busy 5-year old.
Review: more than just a Star Wars toy! - My kids love this little booger. We've had him for 8 months and he doesn't come out every day anymore, but they play with it more than weekly. It gets used as BB8 in star wars play (dwarfs the other figures but they don't care). It gets used without the head in lots of other play. I saw the ball being a boulder that would chase action figures and run them over. I saw it being the pretend tornado one time. It's really fun to have a remote control ball in all kinds of imaginative play! It doesn't work so great in the snow and ice, but once that melts they've really liked it on the grass. It's perfect both in the yard and at the park. We don't use it on asphalt because I don't want it getting roughed up. They'll use it a little bit on the park equipment. They have fun on the playground equipment that has ramps. They've had less success trying to go up slides and it's not precise enough to try to run along railings. Outside, we mainly use it without the head. But it's still a fun toy that always grabs attention. In fact, that's the only downside with outside use. If the park is full, too many kids will want to interact with it. We bought it as a Star Wars toy. It's been used in so many ways, that I can't begin to tell them all to you. I think a Spero in any form is a great toy in imaginative hands.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What is the difference between the app control bb-8 from amazon and the remote control bb-8 from target?**
A: The one from Target also has sounds that come from BB-8, versus this Sphero one where the sounds come from your phone. It has it's own plastic remote too (Target one) and is $79.99.

**Q: Can bb-8 communicate with r2-d2 while in low power mode?**
A: It depends on how despondent the droid is because his master is gone...

**Q: can bb-8 go on carpets?**
A: Yes , BB-8 can navigate with ease on carpet

**Q: It claims to have an adaptive A.I. is this true and if so in what ways does it adapt?**
A: We have owned the bb-9e version of the same droid since Christmas.  IT DOES HAVE A.I.!!!  We leave this thing on the mantle when it is not in use and that thing is taking in all kinds of input.  I kid you not, this thing watches tv.  It can sense when we walk past it and when my son (11yo) gets it out, it reacts to his hand movements.  He does not have the wrist strap that you can buy separately.  It just learned!  This droid is a very fascinating toy and a conversation starter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BB-8 is more than just a toy! Program it to do more!
*by I***A on August 5, 2018*

Unlike most people, I did not see the trailer until AFTER I bought this. Originally I wanted an original Sphero Sprk but after seeing that they had a BB-8 one, AND for only $49 on Prime Day, I knew my SW-loving kids would love it even more. BB-8 Sphero is exactly what I was looking for because it is PROGRAMMABLE, just like a Sphero Sprk, plus all the bonus Star Wars toy features that I now see on the trailer (yes, but it's a shame that the sounds don't come from BB-8 directly and the holographic images are only on your mobile device). The key is to not only download the BB-8 specific app but to download the Sphero Edu app, which allows you to control, program your BB-8 to be way smarter than its pre-programmed self. You can have it react or turn around wherever it bumps into something. You can have your mobile device make BB-8 sounds automatically (or even roar like a Lion) whenever BB-8 starts charging. My 8yo programmed it to run laps around my kitchen island. You can program it to go up to your fish bowl, change colors, and turn around. It's a lot of fun and provides quality STEM-based intro-to-robotics education for my kids. Make sure you have your mobile device Location AND Bluetooth turned on in order for the Sphero Edu to connect to BB-8. And remember to orient BB-8 via the AIM feature before running your program so it runs relative to your orientation. We are loving it in my household when there's so much more you can do with it than just having it explore (roll aimlessly), go to sleep, etc.
