We first saw it during the debut
trailer of the movie and there is no second thought that it is one of the
cutest things in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
Most of you must have guessed
by now, it is a BB-8 robot, which many people describe as an upturned bowl
balancing on a football.
This cute little robot soon
became the unofficial droid mascot for the movie “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”.
The best thing about BB-8 is that it can form part of our home and we can
actually buy it. BB-8 has an intelligence of its own and is available in a
tennis ball sized-version.
The first trailer of Star Wars
VII shows the cute little robot having a rolling ball and a head floating over
it. The head balances on the ball with magnets and it stands around 10 cm tall.
Many people might think of it as
just another expensive chunk of plastic, but with a touch they may be forced to
think again.
The paint job is done with detail
and it has enough of quirks and sounds that will convince you instantly. BB-8 functions
much like Sphero, and it charges through induction in a branded cradle of Star
Wars.
The motion of this cute little
robot can be controlled via Bluetooth from your Android iPhone smart phone. Along
with this, it is equipped with modicum of intelligence which enables it to
sense its environment.
Once fully charged BB-8 will play
around with you for full one hour, and yes, this cute little robot is bit
hungry as it takes around 3 hours to get fully charged.
Talking about its motion it can
match with you in brisk walking as it can reach a speed of 5 mph. Its head looks
in the direction of travel and in case in bumps into a wall it pops off.
For beginners it will be bit
trick to control its motion, but with little practice and it will be really
easy.
Your smart phone will have a virtual joystick to control its motion.
It makes for a perfect gift for someone this festival
season, you can also make it a part of your toy collection as well.
BB-8 has authentic movement which is guided by
your smart phone.

BB-8 is able to listen to your voice, recognize
it and will respond to it.

pet, someone to whom you just want to hug if given a chance.
