The editors didn't like

  • Challenging controls at first
  • Pricey
  • Some apps are not responsive and crash very often
  • Users need to re-calibrate all the time
  • Despite some issues
  • I think the Sphero 2.0 is still a great modern gift for any kid or geek out there. I was really surprised with its precise driving experience
  • Expensive
  • Occasionally difficult to wake up
  • Three hours to fully charge
  • May not hold ones interest very long
  • Some of the apps get old quickly or require two Spheros
  • Occasionally drops the Bluetooth connection
  • But repairing is easy
  • Still requires calibration every time you turn it on
  • And recalibration whenever Sphero's compass falls out of sync with your phone's compass
  • Which happens fairly often unless you're stationary. The “whack to wake it up” feature doesn't always work prope

  • Abstract:  At the moment I am in the doghouse – well not literally but my cat no longer considers me his best mate and is doing his best to ignore me. The reason for this unfortunate state of affairs is the arrival of the Sphero 2 from Orbotix. I have been testin...

  • Abstract:  At first glance, Sphero 2.0, is a remote-controlled car for the 21st century. An electronically-enhanced ball the size of an orange, it whizzes around your house (or the great outdoors) based on the movements of your finger on your iPhone screenKeep pl...

  • Faster; brighter; lots of compatible apps; great fun; robust
  • The novelty could wear off quickly if you're not really into;
  • Overall, Sphero 2.0 is faster, brighter and more responsive, and could provide endless hours of fun if remote control objects, robots and augmented reality is your thing. We can imagine Sphero being the star Christmas present this year, with the whole fam...

  • La Sphero 2.0 est un gadget au rang de jouet de nouvelle génération fort sympathique, malgré son autonomie limité (1H pour 3H de charge), elle offre pas mal d'outils afin de ne pas s'en lasser. Fort heureusement Orbotix n'est pas sur le point de laisse...

  • La Sphero 2.0 est plus sympathique qu'une voiture télécommandée surtout que de nos jours la plupart des enfants utilisent facilement le smartphone ou la tablette de leurs parents. Les applications et les jeux prenant en charge cette petite balle sont de...

  • Ce sphero 2.0 est une réussite technologique. Très belle conception et design épuré. A noté que le plastique ce salit assez vite selon la surface de roulage. L’idéal étant d’utiliser l’enrobage Sphero nubby fournis en supplément. Ce nouveau joujou de...
