Today is Orbotix day at Feld Thoughts. I’m sitting in the House of Blues in Chicago getting ready to watch the Excelerate Labs Demo Day practice pitches waiting for everyone to show up and listening to the sound check guys blast music and say “hey hey 1 2″ over and over again. I put my headphones on and listened to the new video by Sphero announcing and demonstrating their six new apps – Color Grab, Tag, Exile, Doodle Grub, a new version of Golf, and a new version of the core app which is massively upgraded.

Between the brain transplant and the six new apps, it’s a huge refresh for the existing Sphero customers. And, if you don’t have one, go buy a Sphero now.

looks stellar. I got it the first time (delight) but after seeing the 3rd party games I totally get it. And will get it after I clear out a bunch of other gear this week

pretty sweet. The Sphero as controller seems the most interesting to me. Also they should make a clear one!

  Clear is interesting – stay tune but not this year. For now the mystery of how the little robot moves makes it more magical and the colors more visible. For the geeks the clear shell is cool but we have to first figure out how to mitigate the scratches – the clear shell (which we have several in the office) scuff pretty quickly – making it look very used. We are exploring other materials that are scratch resistent.

    A scuffed shell is a badge of honor. I would replace the shell after a few months and put the scuffed one on my desk to thing and remember of all the fun times I had with Sphero.

      Yes – but Sphero is water tight and permanently sealed – trust me opening one is no easy task:)

Do they realize that with the international price plus forty bucks I can buy the Nexus 7? I think it costs too much. Although the product/feature is really astonishing, 160$ are a lot of money. With that price I would have expected a controller. On the other hand there is a little part of my brain that believes that all the apps and the technology could be worth the price, but I don’t know if the market can afford a ball that cost more than hundred bucks.

  The price will be cheaper once it shows up in international retail/online stores – we are working with a bunch of distributors and retailers worldwide. Right now we are shipping form the US and paying the import tax and simply hiding that from you in the price. Some countries are more expensive than others and we made buying simple with a flat rate – we are working to expose the rates for each country but it complex since we ship to over 90 counties.
  
  Also Sphero is a controller – many apps Sphero works to control the game play – and more are in the works.
  As for the market – so far we are barely keeping up with demand and we are working hard to reduce costs because more balls means more apps and more fun. There is a ton of tech in the ball that is pretty amazing for the price point – 6 axis IMU (just to geek out) with precision of a $1000 IMU.
  Thanks for the comment.

    Cool, I just wanted to say a second time how cool sphero is. Keep shipping and work on the price!

  I couldn’t agree more! However…
  
  The product could be extremely affordable if there are any developments in apps in combination with “add-ons” that replicate current very expensive toys… I am thinking out loud now:
  - A plastic add-on ‘device’ that makes it possible to connect a vacuum cleaner to the Sphero, so it can remotely and automatically clean by complete house.
  - Same for a lawn mayer, sprinkler, etc
  - Add-on device with security/spy cam
  - …
  
  What’s more…
