App-enabled, Robot, Personality Where did you get the inspiration for your product? Data from the Sphero experience showed users were often driving at max speed and enjoying tricks and jumps. With Ollie we’ve thrust forward the core experience of Sphero 2.0, steering focus from varied game play to pure driving. What differentiates your product from similar products out there? We’ve reached a point in technology where robots should be more than plastic, metals, and energy that we control, drive or manipulate. They can learn. They should have a point of view. They should play back with us. We are giving our customers a glimpse into the future with Darkside. Tell us about the best and most challenging parts of the creation process. The best thing about Darkside was pushing the limit of what we thought possible with speed and durability. The biggest challenge was getting a Bluetooth system to function consistently at far distances, which was solved by changing the antenna in the production process. It was also difficult to make something so durable.

Why wont it connect!
Turn on Bluetooth AND Location services to connectI feel I knew what I was buying but I've dropped a start as we couldn't make it work for quite some time until I saw a post suggesting installing the sphero edu app and using that. The Edu app warns you that you need to turn on location for it to work and sure enough that seems to be the problem. After that evertyhing worked as expected. Pity the Ollie app doesn't have that prompt.The Sphero Mini has more possibilities and the app more featuresOllie seems quite robust and zooms around

Control it with your smartphone!
Cool little toy... put some tape on the wheels and it makes cleaning the floor fun and challenging in terms of controlling the device

Novelty that gets old
This is a great toy which is a novelty. You get bored after a few days of using it. The app works well and connects easily.

Hit the spot for a 13th birthday present!
Bought for my nephew's birthday... and he was at that difficult stage to buy for between child and stroppy teenager. His reaction was "it's really cool" so I'm taking that as a win!
