Sphero bb-8 starwars droid disassembled.

I had seen this in an advertisement. Smart how they do it.

This video shows what is inside.
I was hoping the head would have some electronics inside, but it is just a dummy. The head does nothing but follow the two magnets inside the bb-8 body.

Really cool. My house is too small though.

All the sounds come from the app. The droid itself does not have a camera or a speaker. For 169 dollar/euro a lot of money.
The hologram is also generated by the app.

Yea a bit disappointing that they didn't at least put a speaker in the head...would have added what..$10 to the price? but made much more realism

They need to make a bigger version with all of the above mentioned things.

Why buy that when you could (probably).... Make your own full-size BB-8 'Star Wars' droid :awe:
