Orbotix’s Sphero 2B carries a low price tag, provides a ton of fun with fresh design

To kickoff their stay in Las Vegas for CES, Orbotix has unveiled its new Sphero 2B device. Unlike the Sphero 2.0, the 2B is essentially a cylinder with wheels rather than an orb. The great thing about this new device is its price. For just $100, users can have a little device to roll around and do tricks — all controlled by a smartphone. The rugged design allows users to navigate wildly without worrying about breaking the device. At launch, Sphero plans on adding IR built-in, more lighting effects, and smoother tires. With a lower than usual price, the company is confident that consumers will purchase more than one Sphero 2B at the time of their initial purchase.
