Manufacturer's Description
--------------------------
A Brave Explorer Control Sphero, turn your living
room into a video game with augmented reality apps, or upgrade
family game night with multiplayer games. Sphero is also
pet-proof, swims and is ready to roll wherever you go.
A New Way to Play Choose from over 30 apps and launch
a whole new world of gameplay. The result is limitless
possibilities for new types of connected play that meld the
virtual and real worlds for a fun gaming experience.
A Teachable Robot Sphero believes play is a powerful teacher.
While the toy is fun first, Sphero’s SPRK program (Schools,
Parents, Robots, Kids) was created to harness the power of
learning and creativity that many early adopters found in the
robotic ball. While kids are having fun they are learning the
complex principles of computer programming, math and science and
applying them to physical world. SPRK's approachable lesson plans
empower parents and teachers to excite kids, so it's no wonder
that over 4,500 teachers in 20 countries have used SPRK to teach
90,000 students. While kids instantly gravitate to Sphero, SPRK
students range from elementary school through high school grades.
About the Startup

App-enabled, Robot, Ball
Where did you get the inspiration for your product?
The inspiration came from our co-founders who grew up with a
love of robotics. In an effort to make something fun that is
portable, simple, and controlled by your phone, they came up with
a robotic ball.
What differentiates your product from similar products out
there?
Sphero’s versatility and technology set it apart from any other
toy. It drives, it has a huge variety of games, and it’s
completely programmable. Sphero is a tool for your imagination to
run wild and experience new realms of play.
Tell us about the best and most challenging parts of the
creation process.
The best part was learning how fast the ball could drive while
still being easy to control. The biggest challenge finding a way
to keep Sphero oriented after a high speed collision, which was
solved with improved firmware and sensors.
