New Sphero bot is for play and learning

Sphero might be best known right now for creating the best BB-8 toy around but the company has a whole range of products which can also be used to learn as well as play.

They've just revealed the new Sphero SPRK+ which builds on the previous ball shaped bot to bring a whole bunch of new features. This little guy can be easily programmed to use its built in sensors to navigate the world and also to use its LED lights to dazzle the crowd.

The SPRK+ is a nippy little sucker and strong to boot, while this updated version is also entirely waterproof. Here's the little guy in action.
