    The sphero BB-8 look stronger, more durable, and is more interactive than the Hasbro BB-8. But i wish sphero BB-8 would be as big as the Hasbro BB-8, but it's small size makes it look cuter at least.

      True it could be portable probably and instead of carrying that huge hasbro bb-8

      Also it is water-proof like the sphero and the sphero 2.0 and it is buoyant which means it can float on water.

    I just got the sphero bb8, it's so much fun, it runs great, the sounds are wonderful, it has tons of options to play with on the app, and one thing I haven't seen yet in sphero vids is that if you own the force awakens he will watch it with you and interact with the movie, my fiancé and I did it earlier and it was the coolest thing, sphero wins by leaps and bounds

    As an owner of a regular Sphero, I'll say that I was (and you'd likely be) surprised at the licking one of those little guys can take. They can roll off your average table at speed and continue rockin' right along.

    Very accurate and fair comparison. You are not attacking any of the brands, in any case you are pointing out the pros and cons of each robot in a very objective way. One of them is suitable for kids and the other one for grown up collectors. Very well put. Great video I had fun watching it.

    Regarding durability, while Sphero BB-8 just came out it is nearly identical to Sphero's 2.0 robotic ball. There are videos on UA-cam showing it getting shot by a shot gun multiple times and going down wood stairs and it seems to be still working.

    Wow, definitely getting a lot of old Star Wars videos these days. I guess the YT algorithm got triggered because I had been watching some Disney Droid Depot videos? 😛
    That said, I'd love to see an updated version of this video where a comparison could be made between the Sphero BB-8, the Hasbro BB-8, the Droid Depot BB-8, and whatever other remote controlled BB-8 has come out inbetween 2015-2021. 😁

    • @reddcube
      @reddcube 9 років тому

      Vincent Dufault Simple. I could add LEDs to it and wire it to flash when the sphere makes noise. I can replace the magnets with stronger ones. I could connect the remote to a microcontroller.

  • @gansan00
    @gansan00 9 років тому

    Some additional notes: When driving, the "head turning" control is to point the blue LED inside the body toward you to establish the correct direction for the left side control. Once you do this, up is away from you, down is toward you, left is left, and right is right. This eliminates any confusion. There is also a turbo boost function where you hold down the on screen button in the lower right. Good review!

    • @TimmysToyBox

    Good comparison. The message is an augmented reality feature. And being able to "talk" to the sphero one is fun too once you get the hang of it (phone arm's length away). I don't like the target one as much but good assessment about it being good for kids. Simpler to use, more durable.

  • @PeeperSnail
    @PeeperSnail 9 років тому +8

    The Hasbro one, as cheap as you might think it looks, is a lot more durable when it comes to being used by children. The Sphero one is more suitable for teens and adults since it's less likely that they'll accidentally drop it on hard surfaces and the like. High tech stuff works better but it's a lot less resistant to hits and drops.

    • @TimmysToyBox
      @TimmysToyBox  9 років тому

      +Alma Martinez - I did not realize it when I made the video, but sphero's stuff is very durable. They have vids on their website. Thanks for watching.

    • @PeeperSnail
      @PeeperSnail 9 років тому +1

      Timmy's Toy Box Yeah, Sphero is very durable, but I still think that when it comes to children playing with this, the Hasbro one is a bit better (since the iPhone is also at risk of being dropped by them, haha!).

    The remote control one can break there's barely any things to do, smooth movement though.

    This is just what I needed to decide which one to get. I feel the Target one is too loud (while it rolls), wobbles a little too much while still, and too big. I like the small size of Sphero's version, since you can easily hold it in one hand. The Target one is better for younger Star Wars enthusiasts, but older (teens and adults) would probably like Sphero's better, in my opinion.

      +Kens H what's not brought up is that the sphero can be and will be upgraded from now and the release of the movie... as Disney is trying to keep BB-8 specs somewhat hidden till the movie many new features are going to be added and sounds where the Hasbro one is just stuck where it is a release.. :) did you know that you can take BB-8 swimming with you, make him do jumps and tricks all is needed is to take off his head and hes water proof and can doo cool stuff In the water . hell you can even buy a rubber cover with nibs so you can take bb-8 outdoors and go off-roading with him again head has to come off but the pay value in this guy never stops ...:) just google up sphearo sphere 2.0 and what this can do BB-8 can do better :)

    On the sphero, there is no control to move the head, that control is to line up a light inside BB8 to your location so you can control it however you want with just one finger, plus there's other commands you can give him while driving, like making him say yes or no, or evade etc. I've tried both, sphero is by far the better product.

      Ya its really lame tho. There's a single wheel on the bottom so it doesn't roll and isn't controllable. You push its head and it beeps and randomly rolls places.

    The control to your right on the app is to originate the droid. You simply rotate the head so the blue dot is pointed towards you! That allows you to have amazing control with the directional circle on the left.

    @jameswatts2599 7 років тому

    I have both of these. The Hasbro version is much bigger but just can't compete with the Sphero. It's like comparing a 40.00 Tracphone special to the newest iPhone. The head on the Hasbro version likes to fall off, it's slow (might be better for a kid though), it wobbles like it's drunk while in motion and the remote is IR so it has to be pointed directly at it for the BB8 to respond to commands. Spend the extra money and go for the Sphero. It will eventually make up for the extra cost in not having to buy batteries lol (almost lol). The Sphero is rechargeable via wireless induction charging through its awesome little desktop cradle. For a smaller kid the Hasbro is probably the better option (since it's cheaper, moves slower and doesn't require a smartphone to control). For an older kid or an adult collector go for the Sphero BB8 hands down.

    The strength of the Sphero model is the awesome apps that work with it. It's fun lasts longer because once you're bored with simply driving it, you can download apps to get it to perform macros or even write code for it. And, as Sphero is keen to point out, this can be educational (yet fun) for children and young adults interested in learning to write code.
