The little robot ball that does it all
If you want a plaything you’ll never get bored with, you’ve got to check out Sphero. This thing is the Swiss Army knife of toys. It drives, it spins, it follows complex directions, it changes colors, it plays video games, and it can learn new tricks with over 30 different apps!
You control the Sphero with a smartphone or tablet via bluetooth, giving you up to 90 feet of floor-exploring excitement. If that still doesn’t satisfy your need for fun, you can actually develop your own apps for Sphero! Seriously, this thing laughs in the face of boredom.
Jump into action and get playing with Sphero!
Inside or outside, Sphero is built for fun
When your quest for adventure takes you to the great outdoors, Sphero comes prepared with a waterproof shell that can take puddles, ponds, or a pooch’s slobber.
Try placing it into some still water and let it swim to the other side. The spinning action of the ball can actually propel it through an aquatic landscape.
Sphero is also shock-resistant, meaning you don’t have to avoid those rocks you tend to find on dry land.
Tough terrain, water, and slobber? No problem for Sphero!
Turns corners and heads
This little robotic ball is nimble, fast, and oh-so-attractive. The LED lights inside of Sphero’s shell can be programmed to any color or pattern you want.
Nestled alongside those LED lights are a gyroscope and an accelerometer that allow Sphero to navigate quickly through tight spaces.
That’s one flashy entrance!
Let Sphero take you into another realm
Augmented reality apps are a mind-blowing reminder of the power of technology, so of course this incredible robot introduces you to a whole new type of game.
Using the camera on your smartphone or tablet, the Sphero becomes Sharky the Beaver. Suddenly your living room is a place where Sharky (with your help) can run around and collect cupcakes. And if that's not gruesome enough, download the free Rolling Dead app to turn your Sphero into a fireball-shooting zombie killer.
It’s like playing pretend only awesomer!
Hot apps comin’ up!
Did we mention there are a ton of ways to play with this little guy? Sphero boasts a universe of over 30 apps and growing.
Turn your house into a golf course with Sphero Golf, create a work of art and have Sphero draw it with Draw N’ Drive, or use Sphero as a controller and play Flappyball.
Sphero is currently compatible with Android and iOS.
Over 30 apps keep the good times rolling!
Compact and complex
Inside of that durable shell is a host of gadgets that allow Sphero to connect, drive, play and think. It wouldn’t be a robot without all of that high-tech hardware in there. And while we won’t bore you with all the names of the components, they are what make Sphero cutting edge and fun to experiment with.
Take it to the limit at 4.5mph, charge it wirelessly, and program it to do what you want. Is this the future? You bet it is!
It takes guts to play with Sphero.
Getting started with Sphero
In addition to a pair of ramps, Sphero also comes with an inductive tabletop charger that works wirelessly—just set it on the charger and the ball will glow green when it is all charged up and ready to roll.
Awesome accessories!
Question: How long will Sphero last on a charge?
Answer: Sphero’s endurance depends on how hard you push it, but we found the battery can handle about an hour of non-stop action and takes about three hours to recharge.
Question: Can this thing do my homework?
Answer: While Sphero can do some amazing things, it still can’t help you write your book report on Tale of Two Cities—yet.
Where can I buy this awesomeness?
