Sphero’s hooked up with a new whip, albeit a retro-fitted one. Skylar, a Junior Developer at Orbotix, modded an old RC car with an Arduino board, H-bridge and a few trackball parts, enabling the remote control ball to serve as its brain. Just in time too – there’s only so much fun you can have getting the little orb stuck behind the filing cabinets. Still, it’s certainly a leap beyond purposing it to pull an iPhone-toting chariot.
