BB-8 Ball Robot

[Glass]

Sometimes timing is spooky.

I have been playing chase the ping pong ball with "The Cat" which is immensely fun when we get the full Maradona going. Problem is some one, has to crawl around on the floor and retrieve the balls from under furniture etc.

I got thinking to myself, what I need is a robot ball thing that rolls around on it's own and can find it's way from under the furniture, or not go under there at all.

I figured there was something already, but then I see this one when looking at the black phone preview.

The down side is that it is a Lucas Arts related product. It also appears to be a simple remake/rebrand of an existing product.

The other spooky thing is that Gizmodo currently has a review of the Ural motorcycle that _EE posted about today.

yes you're right. the simplest things often the best. the price is high. their other product gets mixed customer reviews. I still think it will be very successful.
