  • Fun; lots of free or cheap apps; open API means there could be lots more apps to come
  • Pretty expensive; most apps have limited longevity

  • Great hardware design, Fab wireless charger
  • Limited support at present, A bit pricey
  • Hardware-wise the Orbotix Sphero is a very neat little package. However, until we start seeing more apps and games appear that make use of the Sphero, it's hard to recommend at a hundred quid. However, if you're feeling flush it wouldn't half make a cool...

  • Abstract:  There's something endearing about a tiny, remote-controlled toy. It's nearly impossible not to love the way it romps around your carpet, gets stuck under your desk, and antagonizes your housepets. We got our hands on three little robotic friends that c...
