![]() The only problem is, there’s not much weight to the accessories. ![]() These include a set of traffic cones – perfect for slalom courses – and some pins for bowling hijinks. You get some accessories thrown in the box as well, which you can use to devise your own fun and games. The hardened plastic withstood some serious bangs during the testing period, constantly bashing into the skirting and table legs but living to tell the tale. The removable outer layer also means you can buy separate shells if you want to change colours. The shell separates into two halves, a bit like a Kinder Surprise egg, revealing the inner robotics, which include a gyroscope and accelerometer. It has a hard plastic outer shell that comes in a range of fun, vibrant colours: pink, green, blue, orange, and an all-white option (as of 17/8/18 red, grey and purple versions are also available, exclusively from Apple). The original Sphero and Sprk+ came in at around the size of a boules ball, but now the diddly little Mini is only the size of a snooker ball. The new Sphero Mini takes a lot of the same fun and shrinks it down to a more pocket- and wallet-friendly package – all designed to once again work with a smartphone app (and your imagination). ![]() The company hasn’t forgotten what made its name, however. It’s since diversified somewhat, with non-spherical bundles of fun like its excellent Sphero Lightning McQueen and Sphero Spider-Man toys. Sphero’s balls of robotic fun have been around for a few years now, delivering the likes of the original Sphero, Sphero Sprk+, and even app-controlled Sphero R2-D2 and Sphero BB-8 (of Star Wars fame) models. ![]()
