Sphero today announced the launch of two new versions of its popular Sphero Mini robotic ball, debuting a new soccer-themed Sphero Mini along with an activity kit.
The Sphero Mini Activity Kit combines a clear Sphero Mini robotic ball along with several accessories. The Sphero Mini itself is equipped with a gyroscope, accelerometer, LED lights, and a rechargeable battery, and it can be used with the Sphero Play and Sphero Edu apps to play mini games, access drive modes, and more. The kit offers buildable mazes and tunnels, pins and cones, plus 15 Activity Cards to work with.
There are guided activities included on Activity Cards that can be used with the Sphero Play app, and the app is also gaining a new Block Drive mode. Block Drive mode offers an introduction to basic coding. Movement blocks instruct the Sphero Mini where to go, while Light Blocks add LED effects.

[doublepost=1567785179][/doublepost]I think you meant to say... "That looks like fun BECAUSE I have cats."
No?
I'm jussayin... If you just control the ball like you do any other Sphero that isn't impacted by any of the other things, it's just driving around another Sphero, and nothing novel enough to drive sales/usage.
(I would love to have an actual high school certified or better soccer ball with that classic look. I couldn't find one last I looked.)
