[@HelloThere156]

Only for my cat I would

[@osbely]

$50?! I can buy a hamster in a ball for 10 bucks.

[@gownerjones]

But good luck trying to install the remote control Bluetooth add-on for that hamster. I hear they can be quite finicky.

[@Fatsumo12]

50 dollars is affordable

[@axelnoithorlacius1483]

Is it waterproof

[@voidofspaceandtime4684]

Nope. They sacrificed that for swappable shells...

[@duckymomopea6719]

[@probablynot8154]

My bigger sphero 2.0 cost a third of that and has wireless charging and waterproof. Why does this exist..?

[@Slommy99]

Ayciate :3 where did you get it from? theres no way it would cost less

[@bibasik7]

You can't get a Sphero for $17. They cost $130.

[@JOELwindows7]

It's a new fidget toy! One day they may be for sale next to fidget spinners. I think...

[@HenrySavageMode]

[@kbell2540]

I M DAMN!

[@linktidal2902]

It’s 35 at Walmart

[@MachoChacho]

Less than $50 PLEASE!

[@prestostudios128]

Master Chacho boi it the original model cost 150 when it came out...

[@voidofspaceandtime4684]

+Presto
but this one is half it's size, and isn't even waterproofed. Plus, the color variants look silly.

[@dawsonboyle99]

Master Chacho they are 35 new on eBay

[@voidofspaceandtime4684]

+Dawson
Really??

[@voidofspaceandtime4684]

Huh, odd.

[@nillathrilla]

so now we're calling remote controls, "robots"? really? The only thing genius about this is it's marketing. It's only a wheel, what happened to the rest of the car or truck?

[@duckymomopea6719]

shut yo pipe hole
they work hard on this wonderful stuff

[@willmurphy3525]

It's not a wheel, It's a sphere,It's in the name genius.
