The new photos of BB-8 started appearing online of the stage droid and static props so I prepared this set of blueprints. We partnered with Disney in 2015 to create licensed robots for their properties including Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar.

Feel free to use this plans for your own project of customized Sphero, cake, or anything you are building there. Purchasing a BB8 remote control toy can be a big investment, especially if you’re getting the more expensive variants. Critical thinkers can solve problems by keeping a clear mind and rational thoughts that will help you analyze a situation and make a sound decision.I brought to my stand my printer which was working on parts for a new lighter version of the head dome, that showed visitors how long 3d printing process was. While BB-8 is a legacy product, users can use our Sphero Edu app to program Sphero BB-8 robot and expand its capabilities. You can now pop the chassis we have been assembling into one half of BB8's body, add the other half on top and temporarily join the two with some Sellotape (if the tongue and groove fitting is not enough to hold it together). Before we spray the two parts of the body it's a good idea to wipe their exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove any plastic dust which might remain from sanding earlier. My stand was busy all day long with crowds of people, touching and hugging, taking selfies and trying to figure out how the head moves.

These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy.As of October 1, 2021 the compatible apps for these legacy products are no longer be available for download. Users could connect the iconic Star Wars droid to their smart device, using Sphero R2-D2 to navigate the real world and explore holographic environments like the Millennium Falcon. We’re always on the cutting edge of robotics, packing our learning robots with tons of advanced sensors and customizable features.

The motors (in their housings) can then be attached to the internal chassis we were working on in the previous step. The BB8 has multi-directional movement for escaping enemies or you can knock him over and watch him bounce back upright.Its perfect for static build already but wanted to go further and reinforced it with few layers of fiberglass. However, what makes it unique is that there’s an automatic patrol feature that lets it move autonomously. I also liked the remote control that you have to point to the toy that makes it easier to have sense of movement. If you use four pieces and space them evenly around the equator of the body it can be used to help space out the decals we will be drawing shortly.

Begin by soldering an LED (I've chosen red) to a C2032 (the big coin like lithium battery) battery holder. We encourage you to view our current collection to see what programmable robots or design-and-build STEAM kit is best for you! If that sounds like you, look no further than the Pinjeer Star Wars BB-8 RC Remote Control Figure Robot.This BB8 remote control toy only operates via remote control and it’s not as durable as other, more expensive alternatives.
