Sphero
What is it?
Sphero is a remote-controlled robot ball that can be controlled using any device with the Sphero app. It can also be used as a remote for arcade games, to create augmented reality using the AR app, to play memory games and "hot potato", and to practice programming as you give directions to the robot.
