Thanks to this great design, it’s certainly the closest you’ll ever get to Star Wars robots in real life. The worldwide recognition we gained from the partnership helped us reach millions of kids, but as we grew, we discovered an important place for our robots in classrooms around the world. Tons of features are great but choking hazards and a smaller learning curve should be your top priority.

Through this process, we discontinued all of our licensed products and introduced our own collection of Sphero programmable robots and design-and-build systems to encourage exploration, imagination, and perseverance through STEAM, robotics, and computer science. If you have four different colour wires available I would use four separate colours and keep a note of which colour was soldered to which pin. Equipped with an integrated speaker system and colorful LEDs, Sphero R2-D2 reacted to Star Wars films, too. The most notable one being the Force Band which comes included in the package instead of being sold separately.Inspiring the Creators of Tomorrow, RVR+, Blueprint, Sphero Edu Jr, Computer Science Foundations, Making Changemakers, Prototype Your World, and Sphero Central are trademarks of Sphero, Inc. This can be pushed through the hole adjacent to the ground pin on the motor shield and soldered from the underside of the board. After all, having your own BB8 remote control toy is pretty cool, especially if you’re a big Star Wars fan. Once printed,remove the internal supports and then use some sand paper to smooth out any rough areas where the support material made contact with the print.

Add to that a rechargeable battery and voice recognition technology and you’ve got the perfect BB-8 companion at your disposal!The motors (in their housings) can then be attached to the internal chassis we were working on in the previous step.
